The Artist Faked Death and Relocation Program (AFDRP) is a program that is designed to help artists fake their own death so they can relocate to another area of the world that is conducive to their artist’s mission. Administered by the non-profit Art Trip Art Foundation and operated by the unpaid interns gleaned from recently graduated MFAs from the prestigious art programs in Ivy League universities, AFDRP is designed to foster economic viability in times threatened by an artist’s own failed career.
How it works:
The artist is given a choice of death (choosing wisely here because the more dynamic and creative the death, the more your art work will appreciate in value). The news of the artist’s death is planted around the Internet and in the exclusive Artist Obituary Listing in Art Magazine. This will fuel the rush to buy the artist’s work (NOTE: All work will be exclusively offered for sale through AFDRPs network of world-wide dealers). The artist will be given a new name and choice of disguises so the artist can create in peace (and to see their art hanging in high end galleries and museums after their ‘death’) while quietly cashing in checks sent from AFDRP (minus a 75% cut for services rendered). When current supplies of the artist’s works are depleted, AFDRP will ‘discover’ a new cache of work (supplied by you from your new hideaway) so the selling can continue.
98 percent of artists in the program claim increased income from their art and peace of mind after enrolling in the program.
About the company:
AFDRP was established in 1987 with a charter to provide innovative and industry-leading faked artist death and relocation support to artists, hedge fund managers and disgraced sports figures, politicians, as well as corporate CEOs convicted of a variety of white collar crimes. In 1990, AFDRP created the Center for Creative Artists Death (CCAD), and developed a number of tools and critical data elements to support the process.
In 2009, AFDRP held contracts of over 15,000 artists providing various forms of global relocation assistance. With an average of 500 works per artist handled through AFDRP, that has made the company one of the largest proxy owners of art work world-wide.
What FAS Customers Are Saying
"I disappeared in 1987 and greatly appreciate the relationship that I have developed with AFDRP. Their insight, advice and partnership have been invaluable. I quickly learned utilizing them early which led to more successful art sales and helped me generate more art to sell. When you deal with AFDRP, you are dealing with professionals that understand the art business and are fully engaged to be part of the death faking process. I don’t think of AFDRP as a service provider, I consider them a part of my team! This will be famous forever." - Andy - NY
