 * Keep and rename the article to Anna Rychter-May since that is the name used in most English language sources. Using Google translate to read the German article now used as a reference, I see good biographical information, and that there are about half a dozen additional references listed in German, plus a claim that a Jerusalem newspaper wrote an article about her upon her death.  Here's Lost Legacy, the original 2003 Ha'aretz article, as opposed to the reprint by an art gallery now used as a reference.  It also appears that several directories of artists list her, such as Davenport's art reference & price guide, Volume 2 and Autour de l'art juif: encyclopédie des peintres, photographes et sculpteurs and Dictionary of women artists: an international dictionary of women artists born before 1900.  The Baltimore Sun reported that one of her paintings was part of a landscape painting exhibit in 1965 here.  I don't have a problem using commercial art auction records as references about long-dead artists.  I think that the existence of a documented resale market goes to establish notability of dead artists, but I would be opposed to relying solely on commercial gallery listings to establish notability of living artists.
