  • Comment: Notable per WP:NARTIST if The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument. Please see the picture of the VERY LARGE artwork in the middle of Copenhagen. Isn't that a "significant monument"? User:Gjensen 09:34 1 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: Notable per WP:NARTIST if his works are in the permanent exhibitions of major museums, but I couldn't find a source for that claim in your two references. Also, you may want to take a look at WP:REFB for citation formatting. Rusalkii (talk) 04:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)


Harvey Martin (17. December 1942 - 10. December 2014) was a Danish minimalist artist. Harvey Martin was trained as a blacksmith, but found his vocation as a sculptor. He made his debut at the Artists' Autumn Exhibition in 1965. Harvey Martin had a talent for working with steel, and this enabled him to create large and robust sculptures that could be seen from a long distance.

Harvey Martin graduated from the Funen Art Academy 1966-1970. Harvey Martin's sculptures are located in Denmark[1][2], the Netherlands and Germany. He has 17 sculptures on display at art museums in Denmark, among others at Heart in Herning, Vejle Art Museum and Funen Art Museum.

In 1995 he had a retrospective exhibition at Fyns Kunstmuseum, and in recent years his works can be found on streets in both Odense[3] and Copenhagen.
