The Mysteries of Mark Lombardi: Connecting Art with Corruption
Mark Lombardi, a conceptual artist on the cusp of international success, had everything to live for. So why was the 48-year-old found dead, and his death ruled a suicide? In this special pre-season bonus episode, Farah Halime speaks with contemporary art curator and museum director Lawrence Rinder to shed light on Mark Lombardi’s art and legacy. Lawrence was curator at the Whitney Museum in 2000 and acquired a Mark Lombardi piece about a bank called BCCI — a very large, very significant work of art that can be described as elusive and metaphysical. It is this work of art the FBI asked to see after 9/11. The Illuminator: Art, Conspiracy and Madness is the story of a conceptual artist's rise to fame whose brilliant genius had devastating consequences. Episode 1 will be released released on 11th November 2024, with new episodes out on Mondays. Don’t want to wait for the next episode?
