Sprawling images with multiple characters were typical of Darger’s work, which here depicts a battle scene.Kiyoko Lerner and Andrew Edlin Gallery/Artists Rights Society (ARS), NY. 9. Who inherits the rights to a reclusive artist’s genius? When Henry Darger, a janitor turned artist, died in Chicago at 81 in 1973, he left a single room crammed with his colorful illustrations, a 15,000-page book and no immediate surviving relatives. Darger’s landlords — a photographer and a classical pianist — assumed the rights to the work and began showing, sharing and selling it. Recently, a collector of vintage photography [tracked down relatives of Darger](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRj5C90P0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wMi8wNy9hcnRzL2Rlc2lnbi9oZW5yeS1kYXJnZXItZXN0YXRlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMjAyMDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NTI0MzUmbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9ODE5MzUmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmIBdKoBYo3kMypSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).
