When Argentinean visual, conceptual and performance artist Alberto Greco was asked in a ’60s survey what he intended to do for his upcoming project, he ambiguously replied: “to commit suicide.” Shockingly, he did just that, turning death into his medium by taking a lethal amount of barbiturates and writing a detailed account of his experience until the very last moment. He is rumored to have also written “FIN” on his outstretched palms.

saw the duchamp up close & personal in philly….disturbingly good. and speaking of disturbing, francis bacon’s last (whatever the hell it was) had to be good. anybody know? i’d like to see it….and not just on this list.

If they haven’t already i wish they would put this all together for a show in N.Y.C All of the artist shown here are personal favorites

In the article, and in the tags, Frida Kahlo’s name is misspelled. It’s K-A-H-L-O, not Khalo.

thank you, phyllis….just as i’d suspected.

[...] aqui [...]

Van Gogh’s final painting was probably Daubigny’s Garden, or Cottaged with Thatched Roofs…
