Restoration of article and notability justification
Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion
I have removed the redirect and expanded this page because Ben Birillo was an important figure within the Pop art movement and an established artist in his own right. While the earlier decision to redirect the page to The American Supermarket exhibition may have been based on limited available information at the time, additional reliable sources demonstrate that Birillo's activities extended well beyond that single exhibition.
He was active not only as an artist, but also as a gallerist, curator, and collector, with documented exhibitions, critical reviews, and published references to his role in shaping aspects of early Pop art. Given the availability of multiple independent sources discussing his work and influence, I believe he meets notability guidelines and merits a standalone article.
