NAT TATE - WILLIAM BOYD KARTONIERT (TB)

The infamous literary hoax that fooled the art world On January 8 1960  artist Nat Tate set out
to burn his entire life's work. Four days later he jumped off a Staten Island ferry  killing
himself. His body was never found. When William Boyd published his biography of Abstract
Expressionist Nat Tate  tributes poured in from a whole host of artists and critics in the New
York art world. They toasted the troubled genius in a Manhattan launch party attended by David
Bowie and Gore Vidal. But Nat Tate never existed. The book was a hoax. Will Boyd's biography of
a fake artist is a brilliant probe into the politics of authenticity and reputation in the
modern art scene. It is a playful and intelligent insight into the fascinating  often cryptic
world of modern art.
