Milton Glaser Documentary  

oh.
I'd like to see that. Thanks for the heads up. I'll track it down.
Wonder if it is on-line somewhere...

It's been in my Netflix queue for months,
soon to be available on DVD (via Netflix, if you happen to be member).

Was it you that had the Lager...
Was it you that had the Lagerfeld docu on queue?

Yeah, that was me.
I have a taste for frivolous fashion documentaries. Speaking of which-- just saw Yves St. Laurent: His Life and Times (Netflix "watch instantly" choice). A documentary made up of two parts-- "His Life and Times" (straightforward biographical stuff) and "5th Avenue Marceau 75116 Paris" which chronicles the work method at the YSL atelier (the most interesting part, in my opinion.)
(Not design related, but I also recommend, "Dr Bronner's Magic Soap Box", a must-see for anyone who's ever used Dr. Bronner's Soap, and wondered about the "all-one-or-none!" lunacy on the 30,000 word label.)

There was one on Marc Jacobs...
on "cable" not THAT long ago. Although it was a little sad when his staff was all sitting around a table with him awaiting his "judgement" on an item to determine wheter or not the COLLECTIVE would bless it or not.
The documentary was enjoyable nevertheless. I've seen the one on Lagerfeld as well.
How about "Objectified"? I bought it fomr the ITMS but haven't watched it yet.

"Objectified", eh?
Looks worthwhile, just put it on my queue, thanks.
Lets see... what other documentaries can I recommend... "Helvetica", of course. "Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollock?" if you haven't seen it. "My Kid Could Paint That" was kinda interesting.

Yeah...
My Kid Could Paint That was a good one, but I haven't seen The Pollock one. I'm sure you noticed this, but Helvetica was done by the same guy that did Objectified. Another one I would like to see is "Died Young, Stayed Pretty", about the Indie Rock Poster scene. It looks interesting as well.

Breaking news--
Available in the near future, you can put it on your queue, as I have: "Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman"(2008):
"Filmmaker Eric Bricker directs this fascinating documentary about the life and times of architectural photographer Julius Shulman, whose work is known for helping to launch the careers of giants like Rudolf Schindler and Frank Lloyd Wright. With insight from fellow architects Frank Gehry, Ricardo Legorreta and Shulman himself, Bricker's effort illuminates the legendary artist's gift for capturing space, form and design."

YEP!!
Had that one in my queue already. What about "Art & Copy"?. That one looks good but is also in the "saved" portion of my queue.

Ok, so...
I just watched the Pollock film and found it VERY INTERESTING, especially in light of the "new" Da Vinci that was discovered.

Oh yeah--
The art forensics guy (Peter Paul Biro) who claimed to have found fingerprints on the "Pollock" is the same who fingerprinted the would-be Da Vinci, I noted that as well.
In some of the Da Vinci news stories, it's been implied that his previous Pollock ID was fraudulent.
It's been a while since I've seen the Pollock documentary, though after watching it I was fairly convinced that the painting was genuine, I do remember thinking Biro seemed a bit of a charlatan.
Which makes the story no less interesting-- I find art forgery a fascinating subject in and of itself.
(Which doesn't mean that all documentaries about forgery are fascinating. Don't ever bother with Orson Welles "F is for Fake"... a real stinker despite the the great subject--art forger Elmyr de Hory. The Clifford Irving book on de Hory ["Fake"], on the other hand, is pretty good, although Irving was a notorious hoax-biographer.)
P.S. Thanks for suggesting "Art & Copy", it's been added to my queue.

Even MORE interesting...
Didn't know that the forensics guy was also involved with the new Da Vinci! Casts interesting light on the idea that the origin of the discovery has much to do with the authentication process. Meaning, that they are saying the Pollock is fake because, despite the forensic evidence, the person who discovered it was not "in the scene" and the painting was discovered in such a humble setting, whereas the the Da Vinci, with similar forensic authentication (even from the same source) was discovered in more "appropriate setting" is pretty much guaranteed to be proven authentic.
I really wanted to smack that former director/curator,whatever from the Met. What a pompous old fart.
I loved the line that a fingerprint is enough to convict someone of a crime but not enough to prove a painting authentic.
And about this Da Vinci, didn't they say it is painted on an animal hide which is RARE for Da Vinci? Slunk skin perhaps ;0).

The pompous old fart was Thomas Hoving,
long time director of the Met museum. Amusing how he made a show of shielding his eyes from the painting as he entered the room... then sat... then massaged his head as if readying an especially delicate instrument... before finally looking at the painting.
(By the way, the accusation of fraud against the art forensic guy (Biro), seems unsubstantiated-- I checked it out after my earlier post.)
