Empires - The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance

A fascinating and highly entertaining look at one of the most important families of the Renaissance era--the Medici.
Sister Wendy - The Complete Collection (Story of Painting / Grand Tour / Odyssey / Pains of Glass)

“Sister Wendy Beckett has transformed public appreciation of art through her astonishing knowledge, insight and passion for painting and painters.” This set includes Sister Wendy's Story of Painting, Sister Wendy's Odyssey, and Sister Wendy's Grand Tour. Simultaneously delightful and scholarly--this is a must have for anyone interested in art history.
Exit Through the Gift Shop

When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
The Impressionists

A dramatization of the Impressionist movement as seen through the eyes of Claude Monet. Highly entertaining and informative.
The Impressionists: The Other French Revolution

A very personal and revealing look at the personalities that created Impressionism.

“Things That Go Pop: Jeff Koons’s Seesaw Market”

Monday, July 23, 2012 at 12:01PM

Works including "Tulips", 1995-2004, by Jeff Koons are drawing the crowds to Basel’s Fondation (click photo for larger image)

Jeff Koons is an artist about whom opinions are very much divided. But he certainly has a strong presence right now:

“One American artist seems to be everywhere this year. At the Fondation Beyeler here in Basel, the acclaimed exhibition ‘Jeff Koons’ opened on 13 May (until 2 September). The celebrations continue in Frankfurt on 20 June, when simultaneous exhibitions—one of his painting, the other of his sculpture—open at the Schirn Kunsthalle and the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung (until 23 September).”
