Obituaries: Frank Moore II, Painter; Started AIDS Ribbon
April 23, 2002 Prominent painter Frank C. Moore II, 48, died Sunday of complications from AIDS at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in Manhattan. Moore, a Manhattan native, created works that are part of the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo. As one of the leaders of Visual AIDS, which raises money to help artists with AIDS and to preserve their work, Moore was instrumental in conceiving the overlapping red ribbon as a symbol of AIDS awareness. A book of his work, Between Life & Death, is scheduled to be published next month by Twin Palms Press.
