Conceptual Artist Willoughby Sharp, 72
"Even by conceptual-art standards, Willoughby Sharp's work stood out. There was his gestational spin in a clothes dryer. There was the curious affair of the talcum powder, the teddy bear and the tab of LSD. And there was the Oklahoma Gun Incident, which members of the art world still discuss, with a mixture of horror and awe, more than 30 years later." New York Times 12/31/08
