Ben Vautier, a French artist and core member of Fluxus, died by suicide shortly after his wife passed away. Their intense and tangled relationship was marked by mutual adoration despite frequent arguments.
Fluxus, spearheaded by George Maciunas in the 1960s, aimed to promote living art, anti-art, and non-art reality, purging the world of dead and artificial art. Ben Vautier found a kindred spirit in Maciunas.
