Delete per nom. On the evidence shown, she does fail WP:CREATIVE. Unlike some, I am ready to consider recent prices realized as evidence of notability, but $ 2,000 is well below that threshold - $25K might do it. Johnbod (talk) 13:52, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've found that high sold prices for an artist's work is a half-decent indicator of notability, however, low prices do not indicate non-notability. There are probably hundreds (or thousands) of notable artists on Wikipedia whose work sells for under $1000, especially artists whose work has fallen out of favour but they still merit an article based on the sourcing.

I'd doubt that - for paintings of any size - prints and even drawings of course are different. But this price was produced as though leading evidence of notability. Johnbod (talk) 13:52, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
