About This Item

The artist Harriet Burden, embittered by the lack of attention paid her by the New York art world, conducts an experiment: she hides her identity behind three male fronts in a series of solo exhibitions. Yet when she unmasks herself, not everyone believes her.
In a collection of texts compiled posthumously, Burden's story emerges from a range of sources including her own notebooks and the testimonies of her children, her lover and a dear friend. Each account is different, however, and the mysteries multiply. But one thing is clear: Burden's involvement with the last of her masks turned into a dangerous psychological game that ended with the man's bizarre death.
