Death as art

[Daniel D. Teoli Jr.]

I've been finishing up a project archiving 299 artist's books for sale. I came across one today in the collection called Morgue. It was more of a 5-print portfolio than a book and sold for $3.7K.

I looked into it via Google and found a review here:

with reference to death – the only way out is in (philippocock.net)

Apparently, the reviewer didn't like the Morgue project very much. Anyway, that website has a bunch of interesting posts of death as art. But the rest looks like it is art and not actual death as art.
