I have recently found a copy of the book "New York Painting and Sculpture: 1940-1970" by Henry Geldzahler in a charity shop. This book is a perfect complement for this doucmentary. In fact Geldzahler (Curator of Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the time) also features in this documentary.
