Ten of the best art documentaries to watch right now With many museums temporarily shuttered, now is a great time to catch up on some of the superb films that have been made about art and artists. Spanning London, Beijing and New York, Picasso, Basquiat and Stella, here are 10 of our favourites 1 Jacqueline Weld spent the summers of 1978 and 1979 interviewing Peggy Guggenheim, gathering material for her biography of the revolutionary art patron, Peggy: The Wayward Guggenheim. The tapes, however, were lost and never heard by the public. When the director Lisa Immordino Vreeland set out to make a film about Guggenheim decades later, she never dreamt of discovering them. But during a fortuitous visit to Weld’s apartment, Vreeland found them languishing in a basement, in a box full of books. The recordings became the framework of this compelling documentary.
