He was also known well on TV, having been featured on major TV shows like The Jonathan Ross Show in the UK or the Joan Rivers show in the US. As of writing the script, there is currently a major exhibition of his work in the Tate Gallery, which may be over by the time this video goes live, but hopefully with this video, we can help his memory live on.
