Quotation marks, lists, advertising

The lead tells the reader: Gilles Lorin’s highly personal perspective on the delicate beauty of our planet, which he immortalises in exquisite, serene, photographic compositions. (Grammatically, this quasi-sentence is defective; but let's put this aside. No quotation marks.)

This quasi-sentence cites a web page that says: we discover Gilles Lorin’s highly personal perspective on the delicate beauty of our planet, which he immortalises in exquisite, serene, photographic compositions.

So why no quotation marks for what is a copy-and-paste quotation?

There are various lists:

"Art fairs": Trivial; please cut.
"Solo and group exhibitions": If any item is worth listing, then its details are worth provision. Title? Dates? Solo, or group? And of course a reference.
"Public collections": Each requires a reference.
"Studio": This reads like an advertisement. Cut.
"Interviews & publications": If an item says something that merits summarizing/paraphrasing/quoting, then go ahead and summarize/paraphrase/quote it and of course cite it in a reference. This list is pointless. Cut.
