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.
