 Intra died in Manhattan in December 2002, on a visit for the opening of an exhibition by one of China Art Objects' artists.In an obituary for "Frieze" Will Bradley wrote that Intra would be remembered "for his achievements as an artist, writer and co-founder of China Art Objects Galleries in Los Angeles, and equally for his enthusiasm, intelligence, integrity, warmth and all-around obvious decency".In 2007 Intra's mother donated his archives to the Auckland Art Gallery.
