I cannot thank you enough for posting this film. It really was fascinating to hear her speak.

[@chezceleste]

I love her work...inspiring and make the spirit soar.

It's really pathetic how she manages to talk almost pseudo intellectually and kind of snobbishly about these arguably rather deplorable paintings. She comes across like a completely undignified fool. Really tough to watch.

Really interesting, love her, fantastic painter

Admittedly her artwork doesn’t offer much to the soul, but she certainly has mastered the language of describing her work. She is intelligent, but from the artworks shown, vacuous. Her contemporaries at least seemed to really struggle in creating a new language, and offered much to pushing boundaries in abstract expressionism.

[@lisengel2498]

I am a great lover of her work and I think drawing with color is a very somatic kind of drawing catching the vibrational feeling og spaces of light

Much better picks than the usual pieces of hers that get chosen

[@charrymorris413]

I love this human's perspective and work.

[@jennatamazing]

[@dannistor7294]

...obviously an average painter, whose reputation is benefitting from her association with a group of better artists, including her husband. I find it striking how mediocre was the selection made for this movie... she has better stuff...

[@marwinsing]

Wow! Love listening to Helen talk about her art, as I love her paintings. Thank you, Gagosian.

[@wmreger]

This is the same pattern of thinking that must keep us from saying something inane like history repeats itself.

[@manoleioan6216]

Topology of color...

[@jennyhughes4474]

None of this work spoke to me or raised any emotion other than boredom, maybe you have to go see them HUGE?

[@freehaven1]

Born into a wealthy, highly influential, upper east side jewish family....and friend of Greenburg,a very high profile art critic. Gee,I wonder how she made it? Also,married Motherwell

[@hannahkline6710]

It's the antisemitism for me

[@BeverleyIsaacs]

you are so transparently anti-Semitic. There are plenty of other artists that have made it that came from wealthy family's in art history - and no one mentions their religion...but your taking the opportunity to do so shows either you are aware of your hatred (or jealousy) toward Jews, or you have an unconscious bias. Why don't you do a test and find out for yourself : www.osce.org/files/f/documents/6/9/441083.pdf.

[@chezceleste]

Can't blame anyone for riding their luck

[@herrbrucvald6376]

what a bunch of crap...'emperor's clothes' and all...this makes me ashamed for art...

[@BeverleyIsaacs]

evolve please!

[@stevehughes2133]

What a load of old self impressed twaddle, and people buy into it !!
