"Peter Max, as all patients with Alzheimers, should have loved relatives and children close by. Mus"ic and art often reach through Alzheimers to make the person feel more themselves and happier. Who is going to invest themselves in helping him enjoy his final years? Not the the legal guardians who won’t let him see his family or talk to them at will."

Stewart Leckie

"Our family have followed Peter' Max's art for decades. The very thought of a man who, for his entire professional career celebrated life in art and expression, to now being managed in this way is reprehensible."

Denise George

"There needs to be oversight when someone loses their capacity to live independently. The interests of our most vulnerable must be protected. Add to this basic human rights that this American treasure is quite possibly being leeched of, his creative light dimmed by over-medicating and accelerating his decline is deplorable."

"My father ran a restaurant in which he met Peter. My father always spoke of Peter's kind heart, his wit and humor and brilliance and generosity. I have 2 posters which one of them given to us as a wedding give addressed to myself and my husband all signed by Peter. Not fair that such a kind loving person should be treated this way."

"The guardianship system needs total reform. If a person under it can vocalize their desire for changes, they clearly have the capacity to understand the terms of the arrangement and either contest it or consent to it. When there isn’t consent, it’s a complete violation of basic human rights."

Jeffrey Gritz

"Friend and fan - my parents were major art collectors. I have a portrait of my Mum that Peter did of her as a gift for one of the dinners we had for him or had him join us for.

"I want Peter Max to be free of this conservatorship. It is abusive and demoralizing. This man deserves to be in control of his life, he has done so much over his span and this is not how it should end. FREE PETER MAX NOVEMBER 30th."

Timothy Aymar

"I'm an artist who has great respect for Peter Max. But even if he wasn't a brilliant artist, he deserves far better than isolation (and being robbed of his dignity) at the hands of unfeeling shysters. He and his family deserve better. If he didn't have so much wealth and fame, the people in power over him would have discarded him. Shameful."

Gary Earl Ross

"Peter has a right to his own life and finances. No decent human should be left vulnerable at the hands of people who do not have their best interest. Allow Peter to speak for himself and obtain his own attorney so he can finish his time here on earth how he wishes."
