"In our catastrophic time - when we have so many wars - to destroy art is much more taboo than to destroy the life of a person," Andrei Molodkin says.

    And how would that compare, for you, to Julian Assange if he dies in prison ?

      If Julian Assange dies in prison, I would think he no longer has rights and any artwork he has created can be freely destroyed without fear of litigation, especially if it is privately owned.

      Seriously. What does artwork have to do with Julian Assange? I don’t think he should be in prison but this is an odd protest.

      If I had to choose one? I’d burn the art to save a life. If he died and the artwork was destroyed, I would think that was two tragedies.
