I cannot find much of anything in terms of sourcing. The three included sources are an event announcement, an article with a passing mention and a page for his art dealer. GNG fail. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable, doesn't pass GNG or NARTIST. I could not find any significant coverage in reliable sources, only blogs and gallery listings. Netherzone (talk) 16:34, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the paywalled article in Aftenposten looks like it might have some decent coverage of the subject. It mention sales of about $150,000 (1.5 million Norwegian kroner), which is not exceptionally high, but at least professional. Blom's own website lists some press as well: https://www.kennethblom.com/press/ Some of those I was able to find: https://mnaves.wordpress.com/2010/03/23/kenneth-blom-at-jason-mccoy-gallery/ is listed as "Naves Mario, City Arts, New York’s Review of Culture, February" http://www.theartwolf.com/news/kenneth_blom.htm is "The artwolf.com. Kenneth Blom Exhibition at Sotheby’s Gleadele, Colin. Sotheby’s,Christie’s" It's not great, but there is some coverage. There's nothing listed on his website that was written after 2010, even though https://www.stayinart.com/kenneth-blom/ appears to have been published 2020-02-06. His gallery doesn't list anything either. It's all pretty marginal. Vexations (talk) 16:59, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
