Notability

edit

Garman appears to be chiefly notable for his relationship to his parents, but notability is not inherited. The citations provided are taken from the gallery catalogs for his two shows, and a brief mention of him in a book about his father. More significant, independent coverage is needed to verify the notability of this individual. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:54, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

There's a book about him and his work is in a major art gallery. I've removed the tag. [Disclosure: I'm the Wikipedian in Residence at that gallery.] Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:01, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
A book published by the gallery holding his art may not qualify as a reliable source. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:18, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
PS: One might presume from the facts presently in evidence that Theodore Garman's works are included in the Garman Ryan Collection due more to the affection of his mother, a noted socialite and philanthropist, than to any talent or notability of his own. However, knowing nothing of Garman, his family, or his art, I am willing to defer to the available sources, which so far, are scant. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Nonetheless, his works are now displayed publicly, at The New Art Gallery Walsall, near the Monet and opposite the Degas. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:38, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
I trust that recent additions satisfy this concern. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:39, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
