Talk:Mandy Sand

On the age (or not) of the cited sources

On 18 May, I (Hoary) posted the following atop the draft, as an AfC reviewer's comment:

If He is [present tense, emphasis added] primarily known for his contributions to the genres of Surrealism and Fantastic realism, with his works featured in art collections and museums across Israel and internationally, including France, Italy, Germany, and North America then it's rather surprising that the newest reference currently provided is a quarter of a century old. And are no sound references available online?

On 19 May, Mandy Sand Legacy posted (at the foot of the draft) the following response:

Hi Hoary, thank you for your comment.

To address your concerns, the subject has been featured in recent exhibitions and international coverage within the last few years. For example, his work was showcased at the Future Landscapes 2021 exhibition at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice, which was followed by an extensive international interview about his legacy published by the art platform Itsliquid in August 2021: https://www.itsliquid.com/interview-mandysand.html

Additionally, a national television feature about his retrospective exhibition was broadcasted in June 2017 on Israel's Channel 10/13.

Please note that a fully sourced and approved version of his biography already exists on the Hebrew Wikipedia (מנדי סנד). I am currently working on integrating these newer online references into this English draft and adjusting the tone to ensure strict encyclopedic neutrality.

Thank you for your guidance!

Comments left by AfC reviewers

• Comment: After much scrabbling around in ProQuest, I was able to find significant coverage of the subject. For notability I am counting the Gil reviews of 1983 and 2001. Some other references are interviews, so not countable for notability, but there are other PQ reviews available. ChrysGalley (talk) 16:18, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Mandy Sand Legacy appended to this draft a response to my 18 May comment. Responses don't belong there (and if they somehow appear there, are likely to be overlooked), so I've moved the response to this draft's talk page. I encourage any AfC reviewer to read it. -- Hoary (talk)^WWU 👍︎ 08:16, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
