Gerhard Richter, the world's most valuable (and the market is always right?) classical artist, turns 90 today ():

https://www.dw.com/en/artist-gerhard-richter-at-90/a-60694533

 

He would be an unusual, but also justified entry for the DeathList. There are no real news on his health though, at first glance. He's also a bit reclusive.

 

In other news, German Schlagerstar and top name on the Majorca booze circuit, Mickie Krause, has bladder cancer:

It was discovered while he was preparing for a cancer benefit TV show...good timing.

One from our very long longlist (who received nul points): Austrian local politician Eleonore Schönborn has died at age 101.

She is also the mother of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn and is a pick in the DDP and maybe in the Centenarians DP.

Not sure who picked her or indeed why.

There's more chance of Putin pulling out of Ukraine then sending a hamper with mini muffins and an apology letter than there is of her getting a QO.

I think you're absolutely right!

Also a DDP pick, though I'm not sure whether of this year or last year, so either LotL or LotM.

I've picked him here and there before for years. He looked bad 10 years ago, but lasted impressively long. He just had his birthday 2 weeks ago, nothing seemed different from the years before.

Right.

He is a bedblocker in my German theme team for 5 years, now finally a unique hit, if he's getting a qo.

Hermann Nitsch, Austrian avant-garde artist who worked in experimental and multimedia modes, has died at age 83.
