Agnes Denes, a pioneer of ecological and land art known for work on a monumental scale, will be the focus of an upcoming documentary
The untitled project will explore a prodigious talent who continues to make art at the age of 94. Denes, born in Hungary in 1931, has been based in New York for decades and it was in Manhattan in 1982 that she created her most celebrated piece — “Wheatfield – A Confrontation,” that saw her plant and harvest “a field of golden wheat on two acres of rubble-strewn landfill near Wall Street and the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan,” https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2025/08/agnes-deness-wheatfield-confrontation.html
FirstGen Content’s Girson originated the project. “Like so many, I had somehow never heard of Agnes Denes when I first saw the iconic photograph of Agnes in her wheatfield,” he said.
“That project, like Agnes’s singular career and enduring belief in the human spirit, represents the highest ideal of art—and art’s vital role in our shared human experience. That Agnes spent years as a neglected-yet-revered working artist in New York City adds intrigue and complexity to her story, which we are excited to share with people when the film is ready.”
