Beverly Kenney was an American jazz singer. She got her start singing birthday greetings via telephone for Western Union. She released a series of albums in the 1950s that were all critically acclaimed, but never garnered widespread acceptance, due in large part to the burgeoning rock n’ roll movement. Beverly Kenney despised rock n’ roll.  With a combination of Secanol and alcohol Beverly Kenney took her own life at the height of her career. She was 28. Beverly Kenney has mostly been forgotten in the United States, but has a large cult following in Japan where many of her records have been re-released.

“In 1972 Robert Hughes wrote that [Rudolf] Schwarzkogler proceeded inch by inch to amputate his own penis while a photographer recorded the act as an art event.  Hughes had been looking at photos of Schwarzkoglerâ 1965 Aktion 2, in which Schwarzkogler posed his friend with a filleted fish in his crotch. He also shot the model’s penis bandaged and leaking fluid. It was all artifice. Yet the myth spread, and Schwarzkogler, who had leapt to his death from a second floor window in 1969, was mistakenly ushered into art world folklore as the Vincent Van Gogh of body art.” More here.
