The New York Art Scene Of The 60s And The Man Who Made It Pop!
Who Gets To Call It Art? is a wild ride through the fascinating 1960s New York art world, seen through the eyes of the first "contemporary art" curator for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Henry Geldzahler. Exclusive footage of artists including Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein, and interviews with artists Frank Stella, David Hockney, John Chamberlain, Francesco Clemente, Mark di Suvero, Ellsworth Kelly, Larry Poons and James Rosenquist provide an inside look at one of the most creatively fertile periods of American Art. Geldzahler had an unsurpassed eye for spotting talent and was the curator responsible for "New York Painting and Sculpture 1940-1970," the largest exhibit of modern art ever shown at the Met. With music from the period, including The Velvet Underground, Can, Eric Dolphy and The Monks, director Peter Rosen's Who Gets To Call It Art? presents a vibrant look at ten amazing years when American artists challenged everything and forever changed the world of art.
