Artist publicity stunt?
What do you think would happen to an artists sales if, as a living artist, he legally changed his name to "the late (name withheld)" as a publicity stunt? Since artwork is more valuable after the artist is dead, I think it would be a good publicity stunt. He would, of course, not pretend to be dead- that would be deceitful.

And changing your name as a publicity stunt is NOT deceitful?
I'm afraid this is a case of situational ethics. "The term, "deceitful" only applies to where I want it and to what other people do. In MY case, it doesn't apply to ME."

MAking people think he is dead would not automatically guarantee him fame. Hundreds of Artists die every day without becoming famous
