Jason McCoy Inc

New York City art gallery. I cannot find even a scrap of good independent coverage. GNG/NCORP fail. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:48, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment This is the first time I've seen a gallery list "exhibited artists". That means artists whose work they sell on the secondary market, not working artists they represent (Waseem Ahmed (artist), Kenneth Blom, Terrell James, Kevin King (artist), Nick Lamia, Christiane Löhr, Ilana Manolson, Bryan Osburn, Annelies Štrba, listed here: https://www.jasonmccoyinc.com/artists) and not artists whose estate they represent (Bernard Childs, Stephen Greene (artist), Raymond Han, Frederick Kiesler, Charles Pollock, listed here: https://www.jasonmccoyinc.com/estates). Many of those articles are problematic, and I'm fairly sure they have been created by the gallery itself: either User:Jmcc1234 or User:MCCOYGALLERY. Vexations (talk) 00:08, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

 * What makes you think User:MCCOYGALLERY might be related? :) ThatMontrealIP (talk) 08:55, 14 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment, here are sources that review exhibitions/mention McCoy: Artnet - "A Show in Munich Reveals Intimate and Unusual Works by Jackson Pollock (And, No, They’re Not Paintings)—See Them Here", The New York Times - "Review/Art; Condo Creates a Future With Layers of Nostalgia ... Hunt Slonem Jason McCoy Inc.", NGA - "Jackson Pollock - Totem Lesson 2 .. from whom bought through Jason McCoy, New York, by the Australian National Gallery, February 1986", Artforum - "Charles Pollock Jason McCoy Gallery", MOMA - "Jackson Pollock Screenprints: A new Discovery ... They were neither documented nor shown anywhere pub licly until 1995, .. Footnote 2. Exhibited at the Jason McCoy Gallery, New York .. It is also possible that, .. Pollock was considering using them for a book .. Footnote 7. Stephen Cadwalader of the Jason McCoy Gallery, New York, brought this suggestion to the author's attention.(pp 2-4)", but is this enough for wikiarticles about McCoy or his gallery?

 * ...Is this enough for wikiarticles about McCoy or his gallery? Unsurprisingly I would say no. The first link you gave has some good coverage and into. The second and third are simply namechecks, and the fourth is a footnote.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:45, 18 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment, i note that, according to article, the gallery was established in 1982 (sources?), some editors may suggest that this contributes to wikinotability (see Articles for deletion/Nailya Alexander Gallery), à la "If I can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere,"(?)

 * Delete - the coverage cited is decidedly shallow. Not all galleries in New York, a world art capital, or even the Fuller Building, are notable automatically, although as indicated by Mr. Sinatra, it's one factor. In the past 30 years the artists featured here are, to put it kindly, B-Listers. I would not oppose a redirect to Lee Krasner, who did have a connection.
