Filmmaker and artist Kenneth Anger has passed away. Anger's death was announced on the official website for Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers, who operated his art gallery. While the cause of death and circumstances surrounding his passing were not disclosed, Sprüth and Magers say they must let everyone know about the news that they deliver with "deep sadness" along with the entire gallery team.
