This is a ghoulish exploitation of a sad man's disturbed life, with art parasites abusing his memories and life work for personal profit. This type of fame and those who glorify it should all rot in hell.
- claudiulodro 8y agoWhy do you say that? Is there wild speculation or editorializing going on since he died so young and can't refute? I thought it was a raw and interesting biography of a largely unknown artist. One of the things artists hope for is that their legacy will live on after their death, and this seems to have happened here.
- HeWhoLurksLate 8y agoThis article offends me, a lot, but I personally feel that art auctions (I presume that the brokers of which are your target here) are, for the most part, okay, though I do wish the artist, or their family, would get a cut. Considering that art that sells for a lot of money will probably be taken care of and upheld for time to come, what do you think about auctioning? Is there a difference between alive and dead painters? Does the fame / influence a living artist gains from a high-profile sale between third parties matter?
