Talk:Vito Schnabel

Untitled
Not sure why this is up for speedy deletion, but if it's a matter of changing the wordage to this, I'm fine with that:

From "Although he has shown his artists at Nicholas Robinson Gallery and in Richard Avedon's former studio, Schnabel has yet to set up a permanent space in Manhattan[2][1]possibly due to the recession. He represents Theo A. Rosenblum, René Ricard, Vahkn Arslanian, Terence Koh, and Ron Gorchov."

to "He represents Theo A. Rosenblum, René Ricard, Vahakn Arslanian, Terence Koh, and Ron Gorchov and has shown his artists at Nicholas Robinson Gallery and in Richard Avedon's former studio[2][1]."

Please look up René Ricard, Terence Koh, and Ron Gorchov if you don't know who these people are.

Wikipedia can definitely be more resourceful about the art world...--Aichikawa (talk) 18:32, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:BIO - none of the above makes him notable. Notability is not inherited, nor does it rub off from notable clients. – ukexpat (talk) 19:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I strongly agree with ukexpat's assessment. That Schnabel "has shown...artists" is far below the level of being a notable accomplishment, nor is being a gallerist and/or curator intrinsically noteworthy.  And the artists listed as those he "shows" are best explained thus: Theo A. Rosenblum, Vahakn Arslanian and Ron Gorchov appear to be barely notable.  (Try searching their names with "Schnabel" minused-out and see how few hits you get.)  Rene Ricard was a friend of Vito Schnabel's father, Julian, for many years (oh, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with Julian's son getting to show Ricard's work, riiiiight?)  As for Terence Koh . . . (1), Schnabel is in no way Koh's primary gallerist, and (2) the less I have to say about an "artist" who thinks he's being clever or original by selling his own feces, a half-century after Piero Manzoni did it, the better.

I think his father is a Art dealer. He is the son of a prominent art dealer. Dr. Hans-Peter Meiß Aachen — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.224.112.155 (talk) 12:08, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
