F Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote "There are no second acts in American lives" - he never met Mary Boone.
The disgraced art dealer is on the comeback trail with a New York show revisiting her own heyday in the city in the 1980s.
Boone was credited with championing artists from Eric Fischl and Barbara Kruger to Jean-Michel Basquiat with many of them featuring in the new show at Levy Gorvy Dayan on East 64th Street.
She started her career representing Julian Schnabel and David Salle and by 1982 was dubbed "The New Queen of the Art Scene" by New York magazine.
Her fall from grace came in 2018 when she pleaded guilty to filing false income tax returns and agreed to pay back millions of dollars before she was sentenced a year later to 30 months in prison. She was released from prison five years ago.
The show, Downtown/Uptown: New York in the Eighties, opens on September 18 and runs to December 13 and also includes work by Guerilla Girls, Keith Haring, Cindy Sherman and Robert Mapplethorpe as well as a Basquiat in the form of a punch bag with Boone's name painted on it.
