The documentary “Guest of Cindy Sherman” is the definitive study of a contemporary art world that Eric Bogosian, one of the film’s astute interviewees, calls “completely bullshit”. Directed by and featuring Paul H-O (the initials stand for the surnames of his Japanese mother and American father: Hasegawa-Overacker), a long-time denizen of the art world who was host of the public access cable TV show GalleryBeat in the 1980s, it examines the celebrity, ambition, power, and money that taints the art world. It even affected his long-time relationship with Cindy Sherman, who personifies those aspects of a world largely indistinguishable from Wall Street-its principal benefactor.
