Reflecting the legendary musician’s music blended with skeletal figures, dark iconography and melting across — the two paintings according to UTA, with Untitled “point to Cobain’s issues with depression, self-image, and heroin addiction” while Incesticide was used for the band’s 1992 compilation album of the same name.

“Kurt Cobain was perhaps the most iconic musician of his generation, but his work as a visual artist is often overlooked,” said Head of UTA Fine Arts Josh Roth. “These paintings provide an opportunity to see him, and some of his contemporaries, in a new light.”
