Summary: WHO GETS TO CALL IT ART?: A wild ride through the NYC art scene of the 1960s, through the eyes of Henry Geldzahler, the first curator of contemporary art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Geldzahler's ground-breaking show, "New York Painting and Sculpture: 1940-1970," featured his selection of 400 works by living American artists. In Peter Rosen's lively portrait of the iconoclastic connoisseur, many of these artists characterize his influence and personality with breathtaking candor. ("What will the public think? Who gives a rat's ass! It's their job to catch up." - John Chamberlain) With Mark di Suvero, Frank Stella, James Rosenquist, David Hockney, Larry Poons, Ellsworth Kelly, Francesco Clemente, and a slew of other art world notables.
