In the 70's and 80's Chuck Connolley was one of the brightest starts on the art horizon. He made millions and was followed by the best galleries and critics. But his attitude and substance abuse played havoc with his life and one patron after another dropped him. Here are a few short films showing Connelly at his best as well as the arrogant angry abuser he became. Currently he is being followed as he is foreclosed on, as his future has no hope. A tale of caution, fleeting fame, and the gallery system.
