    Judy Chicago: Revelations

    Artist and educator Judy Chicago has revolutionized the art world with her unique and brave takes on art from a feminist perspective.

On this episode, Dan speaks with Becker about his days as a young protégé of Brassaï, his days in New York during the heyday of the ’70s, his decades of contributions to Vanity Fair, his thoughts on the art form today, and how he once drove Diana Vreeland around in a taxi.
