The second in a series of extended interviews incorporating unused footage from the making of Breaking the Code, the recent documentary film on artist Vernon Fisher, this conversation with Frances Colpitt (1952–2022) was recorded in 2021 at the renowned art historian’s home in Fort Worth. Watching Colpitt discussing the history of modernism, postmodernism, and conceptual art in eloquent detail, it becomes obvious why she was an in demand author, curator, and educator for several decades.
