    On Monday, May 17, 7 pm, see the documentary Who Gets to Call It Art? directed by Peter Rosen. The film 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. The culmination of the film is the famous and hugely controversial show Mr. Geldzahler put on in 1970 at the Metropolitan, "New York Painting 1940-1970". It was a blockbuster and still resonates to this day. We get to see inside his home and the beautiful objects with which he had surrounded himself. Never-before-seen footage of artists including Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein as well as exclusive interviews with artists Frank Stella, David Hockney, and James Rosenquist provide a vibrant and entertaining look at ten amazing years when American artists challenged everything and forever changed the world of art. One of TIME Magazineﾒs top ten DVDs of 2006.
