Before the TV series National Arts, Mike Baker, Jr. hosted the Greenroom which aired in syndication on 45 PBS stations. One of the early Greenroom interviews in the late 1980s was with artist and icon Audrey Flack. Conducted at The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC this discussion is a retrospective look at her work and career as an artist.

"Audrey Flack (born May 30, 1931) is an American artist. Her work pioneered the art genre of photorealism and encompasses painting, printmaking, sculpture, and photography . . .Flack's work is displayed in several major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Flack's photorealistic paintings were the first such paintings to be purchased for the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection, and her legacy as a photorealist lives on to influence many American and International artists today."
