ABOUT THE FILM

Agnes “Aggie” Gund has one of the most vast and impressive contemporary art collections in the world… but her art might not be the most impressive thing about her. Aggie has used her status in the art world to influence incredible social change. Not only has Aggie spent her entire career in the arts highlighting female artists and artists of color, she has also dedicated herself to supporting arts education and social justice projects of all kinds. In 2017 she created one of her biggest projects yet: the Art for Justice Fund in an effort to fight mass incarceration. For someone with so many great accomplishments, Aggie is authentically humble and seems to put everyone around her at ease. It should be no surprise she was born and raised in Cleveland! An intimate documentary directed by her daughter, AGGIE not only captures Agnes Gund’s impressive status as an art collector, but also tells the story of her incredible philanthropic work and the lasting impact she has had on so many. — G.S.
