Artists living as if it were the Victorian era?

March 5, 2010 10:22 AM

My google-fu is failing! Does anyone know of two male New York artists who live(d) as if it were still the Victorian era? They have nothing in their home older than 1870. There may have been an article on them in Art & Antiques Magazine, I've tried contacting the mag, but no response yet.

Oh, man -- there was something about this on a RadioLab podcast I listened to recently. I'll try to find it and post again if I do.

Best answer: Aha -- David McDermott and Peter McGough.

(David McDermott was interviewed on the episode of RadioLab called Beyond Time.)

There was a documentary made about them some years ago.

Ah, here it is. No DVD release, but used VHS copies are pretty cheap.
