Synopsis:
Aggie: A Life of Art and Justice tells the remarkable story of Agnes Gund, one of the most influential art patrons in the United States and a long-time leader in the museum world. Known affectionately as “Aggie,” Gund spent decades shaping cultural institutions, including her work with the Museum of Modern Art.
The documentary centers on a defining moment in Gund’s life: her decision to sell Roy Lichtenstein’s painting Masterpiece for more than $150 million and use the proceeds to create the Art for Justice Fund, an initiative aimed at combating mass incarceration in the United States.
Through interviews with artists, activists, family members and cultural leaders, the film explores how Gund transformed her lifelong passion for art into a platform for social change. The documentary traces her upbringing, her role in shaping major art collections, and her growing awareness of inequality and systemic injustice.
Ultimately, the film asks a powerful question: what happens when art — often associated with wealth and privilege — becomes a tool for justice?
