In 1977, American artist Frank Moore (1953-2002) took a freighter from Montreal to Santander, Spain. He traveled through Spain, France and Morocco, finally settling in Paris, where he obtained a residency in the Cité des Arts. Upon his return to New York, Moore began a decade-long involvement with modern dance, theater, film and video that paralleled his development as a painter. The increasing devastation of the AIDS crisis through the eighties profoundly and irrevocably transformed his life and work. Moore's work was included in the 1995 Whitney Biennial and is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Albright Knox Art Gallery.
