 * Keep: The article mentions (but does not cite) several reviews, at least two being in notable publications, such as ArtNews and Art in America. Thus, "The person has created (...) work (...), that has been the subject (...) of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" is fulfilled. The article also mentions exclusive exhibitions in notable galleries/museums, which I would think fulfills "The person's work (...) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition". decltype (talk) 16:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
