“The Art of Failure: Chuck Connelly, Not for Sale” is the HBO documentary of the rise and fall of Chuck Connelly, a major up-and-coming talent in the 1980’s New York art scene until he alienated every collector and gallery owner he worked with.
Curator, gallerist and artist, Tony Carretta, will speak about his years representing Connelly’s work following the documentary, how he came to be involved with the HBO release, as well as answer questions about the film.
