Tap and Die

Lee Lozano (1930-1999) was a game-changing painter, pun-master and conceptual artist working in New York in the 60’s to early 70’s before she decided to stop and radically broke ties with the art world in her last and perhaps most consequential work: ‘Dropout piece’. Andy Kaufman (1949-1984), from Great Neck, was a self-proclaimed song-and-dance man, who challenged audiences to varying degrees of confusion, discomfort, and laughter through his radically innovative and at times confrontational performative style.
