The film focuses on the seminal Ferus Gallery, which groomed the LA art scene from a loose band of idealistic beatniks into a coterie of competitive, often brilliant artists, including Ed Kienholz, Ed Ruscha, Craig Kauffman, Wallace Berman, Ed Moses, Larry Bell, Terry Allen and Robert Irwin. The Ferus also served as a launching point for New York imports, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Roy Lichtenstein. What was lost and gained is tied up in a complex web of egos, passions, money, and art. This is how LA came of age.
"The story of The Cool School is a quintessential example of how creativity creates change and
impacts economy through a dedication to the arts and a persistence of vision."
- Rich Henrich, Founder/Director, Film 4 Change, Albuquerque Film Festival
