The Unknown Asshole. Chris Johanson. 1999. 35” x 25”. Acrylic on plywood. Appeared in Big Brother issue #44, January 1999.

ART HEIST!

Chris Johanson’s painting, The Unknown Asshole, that we commissioned for former Antihero pro, Sean Young’s, feature Big Brother interview was stolen right out from under our noses! It was a brilliant caper because we didn’t even know the art had been stolen until many years later. And while Sean is the “unknown asshole” in this story, we know the asshole who stole the painting.
