Any idea of organized education was abandoned to work against the war in Vietnam. He copied portrait paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. He considers himself largely self taught. Eventually, in 1992, he founded and directed the Museum of Contemporary Art in Washington DC from 1992-2006.
“I lived in modern art history. I argued about art with Julian Schnable. I painted for Gene Davis and Tom Downing. I hung out with Rivers, Rauschenberg, and Warhol…Now I’m up in my years. The scene today is totally different. But most people who will go for my work aren’t even been born yet… My church is art; it’s a sacred trust. I’m competing with the ages now, not with the artists of the moment.”
Fox moved to New York city in 1970 and currently lives and works there and in Los Angeles.
His work is in several collections – private and institutional.
