Closely Considered – Diebenkorn in Berkeley

Featuring intimate works on paper by Richard Diebenkorn created during his Berkeley years (1953 – 1966), several will be shown publicly for first time. Also included will be drawings by other Bay Area Figurative movement artists and those closest to Diebenkorn including David Park, Elmer Bischoff, Frank Lobdell, Nathan Oliveira and James Weeks. An exhibition catalog and public program series will showcase the historic role that the Art Center played in the rise of the Bay Area Figurative movement and provide a unique perspective into the ways in which Diebenkorn’s work lives on in private collections and still resonates in the contemporary art world today. Guest curated by Jan Wurm.
