Posthumous fame and influence</SPAN>
Darger's landlords, Nathan and Kiyoko Lerner, came across his work shortly before his death, a day after his birthday, on April 13, 1973.
Nathan Lerner
, an accomplished photographer whose long career the
New York Times
wrote "was inextricably bound up in the history of visual culture in Chicago",
[22]
recognized immediately the artistic merit of Darger's work. By this time Darger was in the Catholic mission St. Augustine's, operated by the
Little Sisters of the Poor
, where his father had died.
The Lerners took charge of the Darger estate, publicizing his work and contributing to projects such as the 2004 documentary
In the Realms of the Unreal
. In cooperation with Kiyoko Lerner,
Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art
[23]
dedicated the Henry Darger Room Collection
[24]
in 2008 as part of its permanent collection. Darger has become internationally recognized thanks to the efforts of people who knew to save his works. After Nathan Lerner's death in 1997, Kiyoko Lerner became the sole figure in charge of both her husband's and Darger's estates. The U.S. copyright representative for the Estate of Henry Darger and the Estate of Nathan Lerner is the
Artists Rights Society
.
[25]
Darger is today one of the most famous figures in the history of
outsider art
. At the Outsider Art Fair, held every January in
New York City
, and at auction, his work is among the highest-priced of any self-taught artist. The
American Folk Art Museum
,
New York City
, opened a Henry Darger Study Center in 2001.
[26]
His work now commands upwards of $80,000.

In popular culture
The cover art of the 2005
Animal Collective
album
Feels
is a homage to Darger's visual style.
Since his death in 1973 and the discovery of his massive opus, and especially since the 1990s, there have been many references in
popular culture
to Darger's work by other
visual artists
including, but not limited to, artists of
comics
and
graphic novels
; numerous popular songs; a 1999 book-length poem,
Girls on the Run
, by
John Ashbery
; a multi-player online game,
SiSSYFiGHT 2000
, and a 2004
multimedia
piece by
choreographer
Pat Graney incorporating Darger images.
Jesse Kellerman
's 2008 novel
The Genius
took part of its inspiration from Darger's story.
[29]
These artists have variously drawn from and responded to Darger's artistic style, his themes (especially the Vivian Girls, the young heroines of Darger's massive illustrated novel), and the events in his life.
Jessica Yu
's 2004
documentary
In the Realms of the Unreal
details Darger's life and artworks.
Comic book artist
Scott McCloud
refers to Darger's work in his book
Making Comics
, while describing the danger artists encounter in the creation of a character's back-story. McCloud says that complicated narratives can easily spin out of control when too much unseen information is built up around the characters.
[30]
Darger and his work have been an inspiration for several music artists. The
Vivian Girls
are an all-girl indie/punk trio from Brooklyn;
[31]
"Henry Darger" is a song by

In 2008, the exhibition at the American Folk Art Museum, titled "Dargerism: Contemporary Artists and Henry Darger", examined the influence of Darger's oeuvre on 11 artists, including
Trenton Doyle Hancock
,
Robyn O'Neil
, and
Amy Cutler
, who were responding not only to the aesthetic nature of Darger's mythic work — with its tales of good versus evil, its epic scope and complexity, and its transgressive undertone — but also to his driven work ethic and all-consuming devotion to artmaking.
[26]
Also in 2008,
Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art
in Chicago opened its permanent exhibit of the Henry Darger Room Collection,
[33]
an installation that meticulously recreates the small northside Chicago apartment where Darger lived and made his art.
