If Julian Assange dies in prison, I would think he no longer has rights and any artwork he has created can be freely destroyed without fear of litigation, especially if it is privately owned.

It depends on the country. In the US an artist has rights and deliberately destroying an artwork can get you sued.

If I had to choose one? I’d burn the art to save a life. If he died and the artwork was destroyed, I would think that was two tragedies.
These artists are all dead.
