Synopsis
In 1969, Paraguayan-born printmaker Juan Trepadori burst on the scene of New York’s thriving art market, and became an instant success. His prints were shown in major exhibitions and sold robustly, the print studio churning out multiples to meet the demand. But by 1970, he disappeared into thin air. Just one year after his splashy entry into the art scene, his flow of work dried up, and he was never heard from again. What happened to Juan Trepadori?
