Robert Riggs (1896-1970) - Dust storm

Lithograph. Printed in 1941.

14.1 x 14.1 inches, 36 x 35.6 cm. Estimate: US$5,000-8,000.

Sold Swann Galleries, New York, 18 April 2024 for US$10,000 incl B.P.

Only a handful of this print have appeared at auction in the last 30 years. During the 1930s and 1940s, banks foreclosed on thousands of poor farmers in the Dust Bowl states forcing them off their land. Oppression does not see colour. A good time to watch The Grapes of Wrath.

ANDRE MELENDEZ

1971-1996

Andre Melendez moved from Colombia to New York with his family when he was aged 8-years-old. He became a drug dealer during the 1990s at Peter Gatien’s nightclubs in NYC. He is best known for wearing feathered wings in Manhattan clubs.

Melendez was a member of the Club Kids, the Club Kids were a group of young people who would frequently occupy NYC nightclubs through the late 1980s and early 1990s. They were known for their outrageous dress and being flamboyant.

Melendez was murdered by Michael Alig and Robert Freeze Riggs on Sunday, 17 March 1996. There was a confrontation between the men which became violent, and the two men killed him. They then placed him in a bathtub and kept him there for 5-7 days, they then dismembered him and placed his body parts in bags and a cardboard box and dumped his remains in the Hudson River. The box was found in April 1996 in Staten Island (due to a tropical storm). He was identified by the use of dental records.

Alig fled to New Jersey and stayed at a motel room with his drug dealer boyfriend. Alig was arrested in December 1996 and hours later they arrested Riggs in Manhattan.

Alig and Riggs were offered a plea deal for 10-20 years if they accepted charge of manslaughter. In 1997 they pled guilty, Riggs was released on parole in 2010 and Alig released in 2014. Alig died in 2020 of a drug overdose aged 54.

At one point in this interview, Chandler starts talking about how he read the comics when he was 10, and Kirkman says that that’s horrifying. Like, my dude, you do realize he was so young when he read them because THAT’S HOW OLD HE WAS WHEN HE WAS CAST IN THE SHOW, RIGHT????
