Directed by Leonard Feinstein, Robert Irwin: The Beauty of Questions provides an immersive and enlightening look into the life of light and space artist Robert Irwin, who is the focus of the exhibition Robert Irwin: All the Rules will Change. Filmed over a five-year period, the film follows Irwin along travels to Paris, New York, and LA, and illustrates his deep interest in everything from Coca-Cola to Hegel and from the desert to the racetrack.  Throughout the course of the film, viewers watch Robert Irwin reflect on his journey from his early years as a painter to his bold experimentations with light and space sculpture and installations.  The film was the Grand Prize recipient at the 6^th International Biennale of Films on Art in Paris in 1998.

1997; run time: 59 minutes.
