Question

A 2024 book about this artist titled A Self Portrait in Words elaborated on his efforts to block the export of Titian’s Death of Actaeon. Heinrich Hoffman’s photographs of Hitler inspired this artist’s repeated use of tassel cords, including a work showing a disintegrated skull falling in on itself. Parts of a chimpanzee can be seen in a painting showing an umbrella-carrying diplomat (15[1])next to a giant beef carcass in this artist's work Painting, 1946. Dark blobs follow a man (*) vomiting into a sink in a work entitled May–June 1973 by this (10[1])artist, part of his Black Triptychs series.
