The murder of President Kennedy was the inspiration for the first painting in his career, when he realized that there were other options to express thoughts or events. He purchased and renovated a ship into his home and studio and moored it in the Amstel River. Viktor lived, works and created on the ship up until his tragic death in 1986 when he got entangled in the ropes doing some renovations below the ship and drowned. Many of his works can be found at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, NY Carlsberg Glyptotek and the Louisiana Museum in Denmark, but also in many galleries around the world, including his birthplace in New York.
