New documentary
features Warhol, Hockney

Variety reports that Palm Pictures has acquired rights to Peter Rosen's documentary Who Gets to Call It Art? A portrait of Metropolitan Museum curator Henry Geldzahler, this look at New York City's 1960s arts scene includes footage of gay artists Andy Warhol and David Hockney, along with Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, and James Rosenquist. Among Geldzahler's achievements was the Met's largest exhibition of modern art, "New York Painting and Sculpture 1940-1970." The film is set for an early 2006 theatrical release, followed by DVD distribution via Palm's label Arthouse Films.
