Mark Di Suvero

Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Henry Geldzahler reflects on the 1960s pop art scene in New York.

Digitally restored by Pentimenti in 2016, this long lost documentary short profiles painter Mark di Suvero, an abstract expressionist sculptor. Part of "4 Films by Suzanne Simpson," a whimsical quartet of archival films that captures artists flourishing amidst the 1970s Bay Area art scene, when Funk art was thriving.

In this memorable footage, Dirk Van Dall combines time lapse video and interviews to capture the community-driven, Herculean initiative to create Socrates Sculpture Park in 1986.
