Artist Will Destroy $45 Million Worth of Art – Including by Rembrandt, Picasso, and Andy Warhol – If Wikileaks Founder Julien Assange Dies in Prison
A contemporary art installation? A protest? A vital question? Pure nonsense?
A Russian artist living in France created a project- controversy called ‘Dead Man’s Switch’, that can end up destroying millions of dollars in celebrated paintings.
In protest of Wikileaks’ Julien Assange’s incarceration and potential deportation, the artist is trying to ‘spark’ a discussion over why ‘destroying the life of people means nothing but destroying art is a huge taboo in the world’.
CBS News reported:
“An artist in the south of France is planning to destroy up to $45 million worth of art, including pieces by Rembrandt, Picasso, and Andy Warhol, if Wikileaks founder Julien Assange dies in prison.
