  "account": "Ingrid Wiener, a Viennese Actionist artist, passed away in 2026. She specialized in tapestries that combined photography, painting, collage, and text to create works that were at once documentary, abstract, and surreal. Wiener collaborated with other notable artists, including Valie Export and Dieter Roth, and ventured into film as well.\n\nScott Froschauer, a sculptor and painter, also succumbed to his passing in 2026. Froschauer gained recognition for his large-scale art installations, which he created for Burning Man events in the 2010s. His series, The Word on the Street, features modified traffic signs intended to inspire optimism or positivity. These works were showcased in an exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2018.\n\nIan Berry, a British photojournalist, died in 2026. During his career with the Daily Mail and Drum magazine, Berry documented significant events such as the Sharpeville massacre in South Africa during the Apartheid era in 1960. This event saw police kill 69 people and injure 178 others at a peaceful protest. Berry was affiliated with Magnum Photos and received numerous awards from various organizations for his work.\n\nBob Masse, a Canadian poster artist, stopped creating posters in 2026. Throughout the 1960s, Masse designed concert posters for artists like Neil Young, Tori Amos, and the Smashing Pumpkins, as well as film posters for Back to the Future Part III and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His poster designs were also featured in magazines like Time and People.",
