Dennis Oppenheim, the artist behind the neon paintbrushes downtown, died Saturday. He was 72. The Las Vegas paintbrushes sit unlit on Charleston Boulevard at the intersections of Casino Center Boulevard and Fourth Street. They were one of Oppenheim’s final projects but went unfinished as he quietly battled liver cancer.
