Marilyn Manson's artworks span roughly 12 years, from 1995 to 2007. Initially Manson painted as a form of recreation, but in more recent years his paintings have appeared for sale in dedicated exhibits.

Paintings


Work

From the beginning Manson has been a recreational painter, the oldest of his surviving pieces dating back to 1995, but it was after his 1998 Grey period that Manson began his career as a watercolor painter. In 1999 he made five-minute concept pieces and traded them for drugs, with the knowledge that they may accumulate in value over time. Gradually Manson became more drawn to watercolors as an art form in itself, and instead of trading them, kept them and continued to paint at a proficient rate.

This manic creativity resulted in an exhibit for his art, The Golden Age of Grotesque, held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions Centre between September 13 and 14 of 2002. The reaction to his paintings was largely positive with one critic comparing them to Egon Schele's pieces and describing them as heartfelt and sincerely painted, and Art in America went as far as to liken them to the works of a 'psychiatric patient given materials to use as therapy'. Others however saw less merit in the works stating that the value was in the celebrity.

Two years later almost to the day, during September 14 and 15 of 2004, Manson held his second exhibit, Trismegistus, on the first night in Paris and the second in Berlin. Again the reception to the works could be described as mixed but was largely in favour of the artist.

Manson opened his own an art gallery, The Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art, on October 31, 2006 in Los Angeles for which his third exhibition (by invitation or appointment only, after the opening night) was the inaugural show. From April 2 until April 17, 2007 Manson's recent works were put on display at the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary Gallery in Florida.

40 pieces from this show were ported to the Gallery Schenk in Cologne, Germany to be publicly exhibited from June 28 until July 28, 2007, after which they were returned to the Space 39 Modern & Contemporary Gallery.

Manson's current retrospective is on display at 101/exhibit in Miami's Design District thru Feb 20th 2009.

Price ranges of the artworks

The price of Manson's works has been a somewhat controversial point for fans and critics alike, with most fans realistically unable to afford the paintings save for fine art editions and lithographs. Manson's prices however are realistic and reasonable considering the long-term value at a time when prices for contemporary art have never been higher.

At his first exhibition and on the accompanying website, the least expensive pieces, tellingly those of ex-girlfriend Rose McGowan, were priced at $1,500. Manson's artworks are usually painted on a 30×22 size canvas, with a price generally between $5,000 and $10,000. Exceptions to this price range have included Anaclitism ($15,000), a 47×33 self-portrait from The Grey Series ($15,000), Skoptic Syndrome (Jack) ($15,000), A Mother Without a Daughter and a Daughter Without a Mother (In Memory of Jen) ($20,000), The Death of Art ($20,000), the two-paneled painting Vicodin ($25,000), and two Elizabeth Short pieces priced at $45,000 and $50,000 respectively, and Hysterical Parapalegic (a three-paneled piece, priced at and sold for $50,000).

When new paintings were added to the website for sale in late 2003, their prices somewhat reflected Manson's success and his growing skill. Hitler Takes a Nap was priced at $10,000 and Vampyr was priced at $30,000 (though they were of identical dimensions), two Jon Benet portraits were priced at $30,000 each, and Experience Is the Mistress of Fools was sold for $35,000, and was used as the cover for Marilyn Manson's 2004 album Lest We Forget (The Best of). Manson's biggest sale to date was in 2007 when a American collector purchased Die Deutsche Kampferin for $105,000.

Exhibitions

Future works

  • A coffee table art book is in the works, initially titled The Death of Art. The last given title was Quintif. It will be published by the makers of Flaunt magazine.
