On his website you can read:

“His sudden and unexpected death comes as a shock to family, friends, and collectors alike. [...] In James Rizzi the art world loses one of the last great pop artists, and we lose a good friend and a wonderful human being.”

James Rizzi has a strong connection to Braunschweig: the “Happy Rizzi House” was built here and opened in 2001. His last visit to the city was in late 2008.
