DR KEVORKIAN’S ART IS THE STUFF OF MARILYN MANSON’S DREAMS
We were huge fans of the brilliant and forward-thinking Dr Jack Kevorkian, who defended the right of each American to choose the timing of their own death. He assisted the terminally ill to end their own suffering, and was sentenced to eight years in prison for doing so. Did you know he was nominated for a Nobel Prize? He was also an artist, and Gallerie Sparta on Sunset Strip has the last 12 paintings that Dr Kevorkian completed. They’re somewhat reminiscent of Salvador Dali, and will certainly be worth a lot of money one day. After this exhibit the unsold paintings will be donated to the Smithsonian Museum. (Attention Marilyn Manson: The “Thanatron” suicide machine is also on exhibit!)
