End of the Art World (1971)

The late 1960s art scene in New York, one of the coolest places in the universe. This universe is portrayed in this quirky little documentary. It certainly has a galaxy of stars of the art scene including Roy Liechtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg and of course Andy Warhol

It also at times so jarring a watch it can feel like the end of the world. Experimental film making is all very well though sometimes can be a bit tiring. As a historical document this can't be faulted though, the art and the artists were fantastic. As were the times.
