Richard Hambleton (1952 – 2017), Image Mass murder, Canada/USA 1976 – 79.

This early street art series of fictional murder victim outlines, including (blood) red stains, comprised 620 illegal works in 15 North American cities. Passers-by were left in the dark as to whether it was a crime or anonymous art. Only in the press, gallery exhibitions and a mail art booklet did Hambleton declare his authorship of this series, which was influenced by comics and detective films.
