This is Mickey Bernstein. 

Mickey was one of the smartest people I have met and also one of the most radical ones. An art expert, a dealer, an artist, a lawyer, a writer, a dreamer, a philosopher and so on. I was his personal assitant 8 years ago, it lasted 1 year but we kept in touch since then. I have visited him on a regular basis during the last 7 years. I had special relations with Mickey and yet very complicated due to his mental & physical state. During our meetings along the years I have documented him, stills & video. His last years were hard. He was very lonely, his fame faded, friends didnt come or call. He said to me that he feels like “Leonardo without a paintbrush”. 

He died last week during his night sleep.

I am sharing some photographs to honor his troubled soul who is now, finally, in peace.
