"In a way I ruined my life but I did a body of work and for that body of work it was worth ruining my life." Jack Goldstein The artist Jack Goldstein managed to be many things to many people during his troubled life. A member of the 1970?s notorious CalArts mafia, he was briefly a celebrity artist with eight assistants, owned a collection of Corvettes and was a lover to major art dealers in the New York scene, but with an addiction to hard drugs his reputation as the artist's artist was succeeded by one of a burnout, a junkie, a disappearing act. Then Jack became a legend, a myth and finally a suicide when he hanged himself just as his reputation was seemingly on its way to being restored.
