Artist and co-founder of BOMB magazine Sarah Charlesworth has died at the age of 66. For her most famous work, the "Modern History" series, Charlesworth reduced the front pages of newspapers across the world to only nameplates and images in order to examine the papers' changing use of photography and image. More recently, she exhibited her "Available Light" photo series, in which she manipulated natural light sources in her New York studio. A short documentary and interview about "Available Light" is below. 

Spend some time with her work in BOMB, and read an extensive obituary on GalleristNY.

The Ramones' long-term art director and lighting designer, Arturo Vega has died at the age of 65. Vega, who attended an impressive 2,263 Ramones performances, designed their patriotic crest logo after a visit to Washington, D.C. He replaced the arrows in the original Presidential seal with a more punk-friendly baseball bat, and added an apple tree branch in the eagles' left claw "since the Ramones were American as apple pie."

Rock historian Legs McNeil posted the following message on his Facebook:

"RIP: ARTURO VEGA: 1948-2013 Sleep gently my dear friend, you were the must optimistic, jubilant and fun pal anyone could wish for. I don’t know what the world will be like without, nor do I want to even imagine it… But I know you will find eternal happiness wherever you end up….I love you Arturo."
