Mike Kelley 1954-2012
Mike Kelley, among the most important international artists to have emerged since the 1980s and arguably the most important L.A.-based artist of his generation, was found dead in his South Pasadena home Tuesday.
Los Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight called Kelley's recent efforts "a finger-lickin' good body of work" where "Sigmund Freud meets Scheherazade in the Fortress of Solitude." Find out exactly what that means in the following photos. |
