Himself
Retrato biográfico de la coleccionista y galerista Peggy Guggenheim, dirigido por Lisa Immordino Vreeland, que ya llamó la atención con su anterior trabajo "Diana Vreeland, la mirada educada". Basado en su autobiografía, "Confesiones de una Adicta al Arte", el documental cuenta como la heredera de la familia Guggenheim llegó a convertirse en una figura clave del arte contemporáneo. Su vida personal estuvo estrechamente ligada al ascenso de figuras clave del arte del s. XX, fue amante de Jackson Pollock, Alexander Calder y Marcel Duchamp, entre otros y los ayudó a situar su obra entre las más reconocidas y cotizadas del mundo del arte.
The film offers a unique insight into the world of Giger's creation and his private life. In addition to the interview with the artist himself, a considerable part of the documentary is formed by interviews with personalities such as Ernst Fuchs, Stanislav Grof and Debbie Harry. Though the authors do not avoid particular developmental periods of Giger's work, the main purpose was not to create the artist's biography. In this case, it is more likely considered to be an authentic perspective on the peculiar world of this Swiss surrealist artist.

A portrait of New York artist Keith Haring. The film looks to Haring as an artistic role model for his preternatural talent, of course, but also for his infectious lust for life that had him as committed to social activism and teaching children as to his latest painting.
