Comment[edit]

Much of this content was taken from the previously written entry on Erick Swenson that was Google cached: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:0OSgHoQaopQJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Swenson

I don't know why Swenson was deemed "non-notable." Is that a dig at Whitney Biennials or something? Please don't delete this again. If you get into a Whitney Biennial, have a solo show at the Hammer Museum and have Charles Saatchi own your work, then you are a notable artist, no? What other criteria do you use?

I have to agree (as an ex-art-history major, for the record). Saatchi's a major collector of contemporary art, and anybody he owns ought to be considered notable. And the Whitney Biennial's nothing to sneeze at, either.

That said, I do think that this could stand some severe cleaning up. --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 20:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've attempted to clean the article up and added a news source. Based on his appearance at the Biennale and his works held in important collections, he's likely to meet WP:ARTIST. Sionk (talk) 21:43, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
