Tracy Hurley Martin, co-founder of the Morbid Anatomy Museum, former Depeche Mode publicist and wife of Vince Clarke, has died. She was 53.
She is survived by her husband of 20 years, Depeche Mode/ Yaz/ Erasure cofounder Vince Clarke(pictured above with her in 2016); a son, Oscar; a niece, Isabelle Pagnotta; and her identical twin sister, author and screenwriter Tonya Hurley. Hurley Sisters Productions recently optioned the film rights to Mark Dery’s Edward Gorey biography, as well as the assisted-suicide story of Phillip and Becky Benight. Hurley-Martin’s unusual museum — filled with “Victorian taxidermy, illustrations of medical pathologies and preserved insects, among other cultish curiosities,” according to a New York Times article —was located in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. from 2014 through 2016.
