It’s probably no great feat for a 19-year-old to outwit their insane, drug addict mother (heroin-crumb trail into a cage works everytime), but Frances Bean Cobain did exactly that by getting Courtney Love to release control of Kurt Cobain‘s publishing rights in exchange for a 2.75 million dollar loan. Via Page Six:
Until the loan is repaid, Love won’t profit at all from Cobain, and 19-year-old Frances Bean will run the show.
I honestly can’t believe it’s taken this long. That kid was more qualified to handle that estate before she could even walk. Not like it matters anyway because Courtney’s a famous artist now. She’s completely on Banksy’s level with pieces like this. And I think it’s safe to say that Kurt Cobain’s huge penis was the muse for this stunning work of genius. BAM, suck it Frances Bean! “You can keep your multi-million dollar publishing empire because I taught this troll who lives in my paint brush jar how to make Xanax from a charcoal pencil.” Did I mention Courtney Love is an insane drug addict? Because Courtney Love is an insane drug addict.

If I were Frances, I’d move me and my money to Holland and never look back.
Just have Courtney pick up the check south of the border. There is some chance Mexico will be snorted right off existing maps while Courtney hoovers up all the coke she’s going to buy with that money, but its worth a shot.
On a serious note, Frances Bean Cobain, a round of applause for keeping your shit together all these years. That’s no mean feat.
This was one case where a daughter rebelling against her mother was a very smart move.
Seriously, I thought she was going to be a train wreck, but she has been surprisingly smart and normal. She beat the odds so far.
She is the very rare case of a child growing up in a world of crazy and becoming immune to it. Most people would be content to wallow in the filth they were raised in. Congrats, Frances.
Christ Brown just had his art show too, so I guess they are both artists? They should have a celebrity artist throw-down! By which I mean they should both be thrown down the stairs of a 100-story building, or maybe the tallest Aztec temple (its more scenic that way – art, you know).
How about Mayan? You know, the 2012 thing.
Haha! Frank, you called him Christ.
“WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN IM NOT BEING PAID IN COKE AND HEROIN? FRANCES! GET THE SHOTGUN!”
I’ll give Courtney $2.75 towards that loan if she throws all her ‘art’ into a furnace.
This looks like the insane scribblings you see scattered across the desk of someone who works in an in-patient therapy setting and is reviewing a long-term resident’s file. …
Screw the art show – gather all that trash and get it to a therapist QUICK for analyzing. I think we might finally figure out what’s left of her brain.
Don’t waste time or money on a therapist. Just give her a kilo of heroin and by morning the problem will have fixed itself for good.
Yes; Courtney Love continues to be an inspiration to women everywhere. Her message of empowerment, “fuck me” on the wedding dress is particularly stirring.
For the love of God; this woman is nothing more than a flaming boil on the world’s poor, exhausted buttock – how does she continue to get press time?
With any luck, paramedics reading this tattoo will treat it like a “Do not resuscitate” order.
The funny thing is, if one of the actual overrated “modern art” sages created this, it would be priceless.
That’s why modern art is a sham and the people that follow it a joke.
I think this painting totally gives “Deep Fisting” a new name…
“..Love in an EL-E-VATOR…livin’ it up when I’m goin’ DOWN”
Wow, talk about a subprime loan. Those rights are hers forever now.
That’s exactly what I was thinking, and she knows it, too. She’s a smart girl from what I’ve read about her.
(sips red wine, puts reading glasses on)
“The “fuck you all” scribbled by her hip dictates the stark contrasts in our societal norms involving motherhood, versus the preconceived notions of superficial lust.”
(farts, takes deep breathe through nose)
That “Art Speak for Dummies” class you took is finally paying off.
(Puts on reading glasses, opens fifth bottle of red wine)
I love art shows – you can say any pretentious thing you want about art, especailly if you know nothing, if you say it woth conviction. This appears to be the exhibit by the attention-mad mental patient, yes?
Sadly, yes.
Kudos to Frances, for being alive and sane, and for the brilliant ruse she pulled on her mom. THAT’S the true work of art here.
HOLY SHIT!
Is she smoking indoors in NYC??? What’s this world coming to!
Don’t worry, it’s not tobacco, just crack.
lol…..I instantly love myself
!!!!!!!
Don’t worry, I don’t think anyone wants anything to do with your cunt.
lol..i actually like this
hah, I second
Dont they lock people like this up in mental hospitals?!
Thanks PB for reminding me that there is someone who is lower than a Kuntrashian or Blowhan.
“And who the fuck is this Picasso guy you keep talking about?!!! Shut up with that shit!”
How do ya like my impression of smart?!
Frances Bean has been in control for two years already:

I’ve seen better art in a blender.
How creative. She sewed the trash she spews every day onto clothes. Edgy.
I’m pretty sure she’s never picked up a needle–a sewing needle, that is.
Hey Kid, I see you’re adding famous artist to your long list of accomplishments. It’s good to see you’ve maintained those fantastic looks along the way. That is a true testament to the healthy lifestyle you employ!
Randal
so how much botox and special k will 2.75 mil buy?
More proof of this train wreck’s serious ongoing mental illnessess.
I swear sometimes I think that the NY/LA art crowd would eat shit off a sidewalk if you told them it was part of a performance art piece by (insert celebrity name here).
Did she DRAW these? I’ve seen better art from a 5 year old….
Looks like she used all 64 crayons on this one.
What a fun idea for a usually stuffy art show: dress up in a zombie costume and re-create that famous dance sequence from the Thriller video!
So she’s a cutter.
May I suggest moving from forearm to neck?
The only way these things will be worth anything is when she is dead.
With that much $$$ in hand, the value of the “works” should increase in 5, 4,3,2……
Bingo! More $$$ for Frances. This young woman is way smarter than we thought.
Whatchoo so excited about, girl?
I would buy all of this art because, when Courtney Love finally succumbs to injuries suffered when she tried to eat an entire schoolbus, it’s going to be priceless.
Madonna should know better than to let herself go right before a tour. And that tattoo! So tacky.
This is the face of an artist who insists on being taken seriously, you guys.
I’m pretty sure she just stole this out of Lady GaGa’s wardrobe.
I hope she has a Mother’s Day sale on this one.
That’s a lot of birk in one bag! How does she do it?
Armpit of death! Martyr to the kingdom of the dead!
Her pussy should have been spayed years ago.
“What do I know about art? Twenty years ago I just wanted to be the girl with the most cake!”
In her journal, her list went like this…
She’s not even:
- sober
- coherent
- conscious
- human
- fully mutated
- saved by the bell
- erect
- fully dialated
- close
- marketable
- into Nirvana
“And she’s not even pretty”…. help me out, old Hole fans (or used-to-be fans, as that’s the category I fall into now)… who said that to her?? I can’t remember. My point is, this is one more example on her holding onto the time where she was (somewhat) relevant. It’s 20-f’n'-12. The name of her art show is something someone said to her/about her roughly 20+ years ago (I wish I could remember the context.. errr). As you get older, you do get wiser, and to everyone I ever said “F You. Kurt and Billy don’t write her songs!”, I stand corrected b/c her art are shit sketches and titled after someone’s poorly placed jealous at the time and we haven’t heard a good song since Celebrity Skin and I’ll just say that b/c it sounds like it’s got Corgan all over it and I’m a Corgan fan. I wasn’t even remotely excited when original Hole got together last month (irony, MADM was more annoying the Clove). Pa-f**ckin-thetic.
My hat is off to Francis for beating the odds.
I’ll be surprised if Clove makes it out of 2012. I guess we can all take solace that Kurt’s going to chew her ass when he sees her. Thanks for reading my rant.
Yeah, it’s familiar to me too. The first thing that came to my mind was “pretty on the inside”. Then I noticed in that one “piece” where she’s holding the baby, lyrics from “I Think That I Would Die.” Then I started to look for old lyrics in the other drawings but there’s too much going on to be able to see anything. She seriously needs some new material. The last decent song she had, in my opinion, (which I’m almost 100% positiive was written by Billy Corgan) was “Reasons to be Beautiful.” Whoever wrote that song, good job, cuz I still like it. Yeah I’ll admit it.
When you’re young its OK to be edgy, rebellious and attention seeking. It ceases to be cool when you refuse to grow up and can find nothing more to rebel against than the sensibilities of your own kid, and give every appearance of competing with her. What a bitch.
“One, two, skip a few…potato!”
What a brilliant mind to think to write the names of defunct celebreality shows on her work. Like Warhol, without the subtlety. Whorehol.
What is that, blood and shit?
Uh, its clear she has no formal art education. Sad that celebrities can have their shitty art shown but a non celebrity with true talent, can’t even get their foot in the door.
Sing it, sister! Chaps my ass.
