Bad Boy of the Art World

2023 1h 24mMovie

Controversial and provocative artist Larry Rivers ( 1923-2002 ) was recently the subject of a Vanity Fair profile, “Crimes of the Art”, and was on the front page of the NY Times twice because of the ongoing controversy with his two grown daughters who claim he emotionally damaged them by painting and photographing them in naked sexual poses during their younger years. Larry Rivers was an artist willing to sacrifice conventional artistic vision by pushing all the sexual harassment boundaries and breaking down all the gender barriers, at the expense of personal, family, and moral stability.
