Description
Set against the backdrop of the Abstract Expressionist movement and the New York art world, Baitz's play Ten Unknowns asks provocative questions about whether and how artists go out of fashion, and what it's like to be left behind.
Malcolm is hot and he doesn't even know it. Malcolm Raphelson, one of ten unknown young artists to watch, quickly faded into obscurity after he turned his back on the art world. Thirty years have gone by, and Malcolm's style is now back in fashion. He's worked "on and off...but more off than on," and needs a jump-start. An ambitious young art dealer is already setting up a comeback exhibition for works not yet painted. Malcolm's skillful assistant Judd provides the needed fresh start, sparking Malcolm to turn out bold paintings in his vibrant style. But Malcolm invites Julia Bryant to stay and be his muse, throwing off a carefully crafted balance.
