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.

Jon Rafman - 9 Rua Pereira da Costa, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 2010 (click photo for larger image)

“On Google Street View you can take a virtual walk down almost any street in the developed world – and it's inspiring some fascinating new art. Jon Rafman is one of a new breed of street photographers sourcing images from Google Street View to create fascinating series of work. Rafman has suggested that it might be the ultimate conclusion of the medium: 'it's almost as if the camera is this modern God that sees everything, but doesn't make any moral judgements.’”
