�� In the tumultuous 1960s and ’70s, a cadre of

renegade artists – including Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, Carl Andre, and others – sought to transcend the limitations of painting and sculpture by producing monumental earthworks in the desolate deserts of the American southwest. (James Crump, 2015, 72 min.)

��Alexander Calder’s aesthetic revolution concerned itself with a taboo

topic in the art world of his day – fun. Calder’s proliﬁc and passionate output brought with it a sense of play unlike any before, ignoring formal structures and redeﬁning what art could be. (Roger Sherman, 1998, 57 min.)

��Vivian Maier was a

mysterious nanny who secretly took more than 100,000 photographs that remained hidden in storage lockers for decades. Following the surprising discovery of the trove, Maier is now considered among the 20th century’s greatest street photographers. The strange and riveting story of her life and art is revealed through never before seen photographs, ﬁlms, and interviews with dozens who thought they knew her. (John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, 2014, 83 min.)

��David Hockney provided

acclaimed filmmaker Randall Wright unprecedented access to his personal archive of photographs and film, resulting in an unparalleled visual diary of a long life. The film chronicles Hockney’s vast career and the experiences that led him to create some of the most renowned works of the past century, from his formative years in the British Pop Art scene to his iconic life in Hollywood. The film offers a unique view of this charismatic and unconventional artist who, approaching the age of 80, is actively making new art and reaching new peaks of popularity.
