Never heard of him, doesn't sound like anything I'd care for.

Gunther von Hagens has created an exhibit consisting of works that include a man seated at a chess board, his brain exposed; a woman whose pregnant belly is peeled back to reveal an 8-month fetus curled inside; a skinned man astride a horse, holding his brain in his right hand, the horse's in his left; a winged man whose flesh is splayed open wearing a fedora; a man stretched four times his normal height riding a ten foot stage-prop bicycle; a soccer player holding his insides aloft; along with multiple “plastinated” fetuses.

Von Hagens' "Bodyworks" exhibit is not representational art -- the usual paintings or sculptures or even photographs -- but actual human bodies or body parts from 200 dead men, women and children preserved, dissected, mutilated and put on display to entertain.
