My first News search found nothing so I dug deeper and found some results from a few notable websites but nothing that seems notable (I scanned through ten pages). Two searches at Books found nothing and searches at British news sources BBC and The Guardian found nothing. I'm not fluent with German so I couldn't help there and a search attempting to find German newspapers walled me. SwisterTwister  talk  05:43, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. There's enough refs and notable collections cited within the article to pass notability criteria. Alkacenter (talk) 13:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 23:52, 8 May 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep The article has gone from zero references for notability at nomination to four now: Financial Times, Artforum International, Times (London), and Spiegel Online. It's unfortunate that two are behind paywalls and a third is in German, but they do demonstrate that the subject meets WP:ORG. Now someone needs to rewrite the article based primarily on these independent secondary sources rather than on the group and the galleries where they've exhibited.
