CULTURE: Suicide Girl Painting Goes To Major Art Collection

Zak Smith, a New York City artist whose work is currently being shown as part of the Whitney Museum's Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Art, just sold a portrait of SG's very own Charlie to what the Museum of Modern Art calls "The best collection of contemporary drawings in public or private hands"--the Judith Rothschild Foundation.
The painting is the first in Smith's series "Girls In The Naked Girl Business" which will include several Suicide Girls "I'm gonna do Raven next since she's in New York too, after that, who knows?" says Smith. The entire series will be shown some time next year.
Most of Smith's best work can be seen here
