Dr. Jack Kevorkian's estate is going ahead with plans to auction 17 of his paintings, including one

(2 Nov 2011) HEADLINE:First person: Inside Kevorkian's personal possessions CAPTION: Dr. Jack Kevorkian's estate is going ahead with plans to auction 17 of his paintings, including one he did with a pint of his blood, even though a suburban Boston museum is refusing to give them up. (Oct. 27) (MAYER MORGANROTH/KEVORKIAN ESTATE ATTORNEY)"The auction itself came about as an idea that I felt should be culminated in order to get out to the public and to the world the true Jack Kevorkian. Among other things that are being auctioned are the 'Thanatron' which is 'medicide' or the suicide machine they would call it." (AVA JANUS/KEVORKIAN NIECE/NATURAL SOUND) "This is the 'Thanatron' machine. My uncle wanted one word to describe quote 'the suicide machine' end quote. This was one machine, had the solutions, including sodium pentathol. That you would press the button, and his first medicide patient did indeed do this, she reached over and pressed this button. Janet Atkins from Oregon back on June 4th, 1990, pushed this button, to calmly peaceably at her choice, end her life." (AVA JANUS/KEVORKIAN NIECE) "I think this is probably the easiest way for everyone in the whole world, whether they come here in person or on the internet, to see how varied a man my uncle was, how very talented he was. I think he was talented, and I think people would agree, all the various facets of him. He was complicated in that sense. There's a lot to him. He was a man of words, he was a man who loved to paint, he was a man who loved music. He was a physician, caring about people. And he was a man who was very, very sweet personally." (MAYER MORGANROTH/KEVORKIAN ESTATE ATTORNEY) "It was one of his wishes that his niece profit or at least be made secure by whatever he had. Things that are being auctioned are paintings that he painted, most people didn't know that he painted beautiful paintings. The paintings have been appraised at between two and half and three and a half million dollars, the paintings alone. Also, there's compositions of music that he composed. Some were played by the London Symphony Orchestra. Tuxedo he wore to the Emmys when we went to the Emmys. His vest that he wore, that being the bullet proof one that he wore to trials. And it goes on and on, 137 items. (AVA JANUS/KEVORKIAN NIECE) "They all resonate for me because they all bring back memories. Uncle was such a well-known person. Being on the cover of Time magazine and everything. The whole world knows who he is. So I know that I have to part with him, to the public. And I think that people who come to this auction, either in person or online will be people that appreciate him and want to have part of him and they'll appreciate what they bid for."
