As president of BAM from 1999-2015, I was proud that Chuck contributed work to BAM's first fundraising initiative. He created a Harvey Lichtenstein photo portrait for the BAM Harvey Theater and was a member of our audience for decades. Sending a message of sincere condolences to the family of this brilliant artist.
