now accordin to the editors who did the footnotes for Desert Island Czerkinskydied by his own hand in 1975 _ not long after the exhibition. Which the co-authored dialogue with Deleuze was the occasion of.
the my space bio snap claims he died in Egypt . in 1985! I think that is just a misprint or a typo! but how legends are borned of typos! Neither the semiotexte editor nor the French editor make mention where the artist died .. who the true author of the myspace article is I have no idea
Czerkinsky is also not mentioned anywhere in a recent doubled
biography of Deleuze and Guattari ( Biographie croisée by
François . Dosse .) A mysterious and interesting artist! in any case!
At Art Facts Net it is stated there exists on public collection of 'his' work. (link below)
The drawings of Deleuze referrred were published in Chimeres
( to be blogged later)
