He died of AIDS at the age of 32.[1] Early lifeSteers was born on June 12, 1962, to Nina Gore Auchincloss and Newton Steers. He was the first of three children born to his parents. Steers had two brothers, Ivan Steers and Burr Steers, the filmmaker.[2] He attended the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut and graduated from Yale University in 1985. He later attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, graduating in 1991.[3] Steers was the grandson of Hugh D. Auchincloss and Nina Gore and the great-grandson of Thomas Gore. His mother was the half-sister of writer Gore Vidal and a stepsister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. In 1974, his parents divorced and later that same year, his mother married her second husband, Michael Straight. The wedding was attended by Hugh D. Auchincloss, Janet Auchincloss, Jackie Kennedy, Renata Adler, Beatrice Straight, and Peter Cookson.[4] ArtIn 1989, Steers received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Fellowship[5] and had his first solo exhibition. He went on to exhibit his work in over 30 shows across the United States and Italy.[3] Steers' work, primarily figurative painting, is featured in the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, and the Denver Art Museum.[1] He painted in a style that mixed dreamlike allegory with Expressionist-tinged realism and incorporated art history references. In the 1990s, his work increasingly dealt with AIDS and many of his paintings showed male figures alone nearly nude or clothed in women's attire. Steers also depicted pairs of men bathing, dressing each other, and embracing. In his final works, he painted a self-portrait of a man dressed in a white hospital gown with white high heels. The figure is shown entering the lives of other characters as both an avenging and a guardian angel.[1] A comprehensive monographic catalogue of Steers’ work was published by Visual AIDS in 2015.[5] Personal lifeSteers was openly gay[3] and died of AIDS related complications in 1995 at the age of 32.[1] Exhibitions
