Art forgery?

Fraud, I faked my death to increase my prices.
I did know a guy who faked a heart attack at his gallery opening to see if it would start a run on his work. He is actually dead now, and I don't know if that worked either.

Please don't try that miles ! I won't. The guy I referred to was Michael Bowen, famous for organizing the Human Be-In in Golden gate Park. I met him about 1981, and along with a bunch of my fellow struggling artist friends, got sucked into one of his projects. He sold some paintings for me first and that got me onboard. It was a huge art exhibit on a Pier in San Francisco. It was an experience and it ended in a mass rebellion with the artists pulling our work a week before the scheduled time.
He showed me clippings from the newspaper of his exploits. He delighted in his bad reputation and thought unfavorable publicity was fine, as long as he was getting attention. He was working some kind of long con on me, but when the show blew up, I saw the light.

Bowen-Notorious and loving it. I am glad you escaped with your creations intact, miles. People like that puzzle me-maybe not enough positive attention and negative attention was better than none?

There were accusations of serious crimes committed by Bowen, rape for one. So many rumors surrounded him, it was hard to know what was true. He was constantly fleeing the country when his schemes caught up with him. The actor Micheal Bowen is his son. He had a great part as the nazi biker in Breaking Bad. Hopefully it wasn't method acting.

Fleeing the country and coming back to get away with more makes Michael Bowen the elder sound like someone to avoid.

Cheers to Back Porch Dad on his recent birthday. I'm guessing his birthday wish was for Terra's return.
