Keep Notable fotographer, meeting GNG. 1, 2, 3. Described as “was one of the most astonishing photographers of the 70s and 80s. He had been one of the four photographers with Bernard Descamps, Bernard Plossu and Bruno Requillart to be exhibited by Jean-Claude Lemagny at the Bibliotheque Nationale in 1975. The following year, he won the Niepce Prize.” SportsOlympic (talk) 13:58, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Eddie Kuligowski was a well-known mid-century photographer. The French Wikipedia says he’s in these four collections (which would be an easy WP:NARTIST pass): Bibliothèque nationale de France; Musée Nicéphore-Niépce; Musée Réattu; Musée Cantini. I found that he has numerous photos in the collection of the Biblioteque Nationale de France: [1] ~~But the three museums either don’t have a searchable database for their collections or couldn’t be verified.~~ However, I did find that his work is in the Centre Pompidou:[2] There are at least three monographs on his work. All of the above combined with the Prix Niépce, I’d have to say he’s notable. There are a lot of hits on Google Books, for example Claude Nori’s 1979 book, “French Photography, from Its Origins to the Present”; a few things on Newspapers.com; and a journal article in the March 1978 edition of French Review on JSTOR stating that he was one of a small group of photographers who represented France as a cultural ambassador to the U.S. So also meets WP:GNG The article should be retained and improved but not deleted from the encyclopedia.
