A new never before seen photo of Kurt Cobain’s daughter Frances Bean with his father Donald has surfaced on the Nirvana Reddit. The photo appears to be from a year or two ago, as Frances Bean has blonde hair.
Artwork by former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain will be front and center at next month’s Seattle Art Fair (August 3–6). The never-before-seen paintings will be presented by the fine arts division of the United Talent Agency. This marks the first time the division, which launched in 2015, has participated in an art fair.
The presentation will feature two original works by Cobain (neither of which will be for sale) alongside work by other rebel artists from the past 30 years, including Mike Kelley, Joe Bradley, Nate Lowman, Elizabeth Peyton, and Raymond Pettibon. (Some of these works will be for sale.)
Joshua Roth, the head of UTA’s fine arts division, tells artnet News that given Cobain’s well-known skills as an “influential creator, it’s not too much of a leap” for viewers to see that he was a talented visual artist as well. (It runs in the family: Cobain’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, is currently having her second solo art show on the West Coast, at Pasadena’s Gallery 30 South.)
Cobain’s paintings, which will be shown alongside some of his notebooks, have been in storage since his death in 1994.
