This page is, to be blunt, suspicious. While East Hampton, New York ''is'' a major art destination, this person seems to have only a single solo exhibit outside of New York, and no work ''that I can verify'' in permanent collections of major museums. I'd change my !vote if you can find some good sources. |There are literally zero Google newspaper sources, which would be expected of a |contemporary artist. I want to stress that http://carriehaddadgallery.com/index.cfm?method=Artist.ArtistDetail&ArtistID=9868CD03-E9F8-3415-3AC6EC5DCFAB36C2 he claims that he has a print in the MoMA and Smithsonian Institution collections - but https://www.moma.org/collection/works?locale=en&utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Christopher+Engel&date_begin=Pre-1850&date_end=2019 a search - and the https://americanart.si.edu/press/staff-bios another search |could not verify those extraordinary claims, which would be required for a |BLP. Six sources in the article are entirely local periodicals/websites; the seventh is a one-shot listing by the ''Times'' Long Island edition - that is |not significant coverage by any stretch. He appears to have exhibited at the http://carriehaddadgallery.com/index.cfm?method=Artist.ArtistDetail&ArtistID=9868CD03-E9F8-3415-3AC6EC5DCFAB36C2 Carrie Haddad Gallery, Upstate New York's premier ''for profit'' art gallery twice, but |I can't find ''any'' independent source to back that up. To be blunt again, the other galleries are |run of the mill -- sorry, but who goes to Roxbury, New York to buy art? I'm not sure that group shows in the prestigious Woodstock, New York colony count for |pushing someone over into notability. Bottom line is: this is |spam
