Acclaimed art historian Marlene Strauss revisits her well received lecture series, Art’s Bad Boys. This illustrated talk will discuss artists whose social behavior strayed from the acceptable and whose promising careers were cut short by drugs, alcohol or a deadly weapon. Included among the artists are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Carl Andre and Ana Mendieta. Marlene Strauss is a frequent O’Keeffe Speaker at The Four Arts and an art historian whose lectures were featured annually in the Rogers Theatre of The Metropolitan Museum of Art for 25 years.
