Efrat Shvily

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm simply finding information about exhibitions....but no actual permanent museum collections thus still questionable for the applicable notability, I'm not finding anything else otherwise convincing. SwisterTwister  talk  06:10, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment Works in the permanent collection of several museum is not the only criterion in WP:ARTIST. The Venice Biennale is a very significant temporary exhibition, and participation would be covered by 4b. Mduvekot (talk) 12:14, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep easily, if Venice Biennale participation as an invited (curated) artist representing her country can be verified. Representing a nation at the Venice Biennale is automatic notability (equivalent to winning an Oscar). We need to set aside this idea that permanent collections in a museum is somehow the only standard. It's important but not the only criteria for WP:ARTIST, as Mduvekot points out. Contemporary art is complicated and, more and more, artists have careers exhibiting in biennales and museums without being collected (which is often impossible if the work is ephemeral or complex). This artist passes notability requirements based on exhibiting at Bienal de São Paulo; Museum of Art, Ein Harod; Tel Hai Museum of Photography; The Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv; The National Museum for Contemporary Art, Bucharest; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Loop International Video Festival, Barcelona; Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin; Reuven Rubin Museum, Tel Aviv; Kunsthaus Graz; and, I would argue, Apexart, New York as well. All group exhibitions, but in accumulation easily passes WP:ARTIST as these are all significant museums and art centres.  freshacconci  talk to me  15:45, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per Freshacconci. I have no idea whether Frieze.com satisfies WP:IRS, but it satisfies me that Shvily was at the 50th Venice Biennale and therefore satisfies WP:ARTIST. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 01:47, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:ARTIST 4b category. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 19:36, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep passes ARTIST and GNG. I added an Artforum source, too. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:51, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
