Draft:Gandalf Gavan
| Submission declined on 19 August 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: If we leave out the 'Exhibitions' section, because the sources cited there only support individual entries, and none of those entries seem significant enough to make the subject notable, then for notability per WP:GNG we only need to analyse the sources cited in the earlier sections. These are a mix of galleries and one interview, all of which are primary sources. The best of the lot is the SFNM obit, but whether it's independent or not, I don't know, and in any case it alone isn't enough. Please produce either more secondary sources to satisfy GNG, or evidence that the subject clearly and objectively meets at least one criterion in WP:ARTIST.

- Comment: The section titled 'Exhibtions', which looks like a list of some sort, is causing a flag for copyright violations of this page. As lists of this kind could be seen as unduly promotional, my advice would be to remove the list from the article body, and maybe add a simple External Link at the bottom of the article linking to the said page. - RichT|C|E-Mail 15:31, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Gandalf Gavan
[edit]Gandalf Gavan (1975 – 2014) was a German-American artist known for his interdisciplinary work and installations encompassing painting, drawing, glass, neon, and mirrors. Gavan's diverse body of work was underpinned by his interest in material experimentation, collaboration, and an "attract[ion] to art that has that sense of humour and tension between seriousness, ambivalence and play."[1]
Biography
[edit]Gandalf Gavan was born in 1975 in West Berlin, Germany. He was raised between Germany and New Mexico, USA. Gavan studied at the Repin Academy, St. Petersburg in Russia (1995-96) and the Santa Fe Art Institute (1997).[2] He received his BFA from Bard College in 1998, studying under Judy Pfaff and William G. Tucker, and his MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University in 2005.[3][4] He taught at Columbia University for several years as an adjunct professor in printmaking.[5]
He was the recipient of various awards including the Joan Mitchell MFA Grant, the Mortimer-Frank Travel Fellowship at Columbia University, and a Nancy Graves Grant for Visual Artists.[2][6][7] During his time at Columbia University he was a fellow at the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies.[8]
Based in Brooklyn, New York, Gavan also lived and worked extensively in Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Morocco and Germany. His work has been exhibited in a variety of venues such as MoMa PS1, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca, the Museo Nacional De Arte in Mexico City, and the Cornell Museum of Fine Arts.[9][10]
