 * Keep: The article has been in poor shape and needs work: I have made various changes but left the final paragraph for the duration of the AfD despite it being discussion more appropriate on the Talk page (and which does the article no favours - I originally expected to conclude with a Delete opinion). However, the subject of the article has in his career received two awards which have WP articles (now linked and verified) and I notice is also described as an "éminence grise" in his field on the Stedelijk Museum site, so I think there is enough for biographical notability.

 * Keep per User:AllyD. I think the two prizes are enough for notability. filceolaire (talk) 16:42, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
