The Tony Greene moment: Art life after death

When painter Tony Greene died of an AIDS -related illness in 1990, it was far from certain that anyone beyond his circle of friends and colleagues would remember him or his work.

"His work is so important because it comes at a time when artists were responding to the AIDS epidemic," Monica Majoli adds. This included Greene himself, who was fighting the disease throughout the late 1980s. "But he does it in a way that is so different from much of what was being produced, which tended to have more of an activist bent. He acknowledges the issue of mortality and crisis, this horrible reality that he's facing. But he also acknowledges his sexuality and his desire. He doesn't cover it up."
