Ten Unknowns
Jon Robin Baitz
(Author)Description
Ten Unknowns, John Robin Baitz's latest work, is an explosive drama about art -- and what happens when it becomes commerce.
Malcolm Raphelson is a painter who was at the top of the art world -- until the critical vogue turned from realism to abstract expressionist work.
He has been in self-imposed exile in Mexico for decades, until dealer Trevor Fabricant decides it's time for a retrospective.
Trevor sends Judd, a talented and tormented young painter, to serve as Malcolm's assistant and unofficial minder.
When they are joined by a beautiful young student, their tense equilibrium is upset.
With seemingly spontaneous dialogue and a world portrayed with its many conflicts, Ten Unknowns is an important contemporary work about modern America, bringing into question its morals and sensibilities.
