From Askart.com: Following is the obituary of the artist from SculptSite.com, dated 12/16/2011 It's with great distress and sorrow that we have to announce the death of James Rizzi. The world famous pop artist died peacefully in his sleep in his studio in SoHo, New York, the night after Christmas. His sudden and unexpected death comes as a shock to family, friends, and collectors alike. James Rizzi (1950-2011) became famous for the three dimensional paper sculptures he invented, the playful and childlike forms and bright colors of which were to become his artistic trademark. Thus he acquired a large international following across all age groups and classes. Another claim to fame came through the application of his distinctive style to a large variety of everyday objects - from Rizzi stamps to the Rizzi house, from Rizzi puzzles to the Rizzi jet plane, from Rizzi chinaware to Rizzi cars and trains. Throughout his life, Rizzi contributed to a number of charities, the wellbeing of children being particularly close to his heart. This is one of the reasons why a public school in Duisburg, Germany, bears his name. James Rizzi died in the city where he was born in New York, which influenced his life as well as his work greatly. He was in the middle of preparing for new projects when death struck him. 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. Jimmy, you will be missed.
