Forgotten Icons of the Philadelphia School - The Son

In the first official episode of Famous or Forgotten, we sit down with the son of post-war Philadelphia based Abstract artist C.R. Bechtle, Reid Bechtle. Reid was generous enough to share his journey and how he’s been trying to get his father’s work recognized since 2014.

In this episode, we discuss:
Dealing with rejection from museums.
Cataloging the work of an artist who is deceased.
The impact of trying different things.
The differences in promoting your work in the 1960’s vs. today.
A reflection on the modern world of art.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did and learn some insights from Reid. To learn more about C.R. Bechtle, check out his website: https://www.crbechtleart.com/
