Description
"Galaxy: A Hundred or So Stars Visible to the Naked Eye," an exhibition curated by BAM/PFA Director Larry Rinder, showcases the depth and diversity of the Berkeley Art Museum’s permanent collection. Rinder calls Galaxy “a very personal exploration of the BAM collection.” It includes works by major artists such as D-L Alvarez, John Baldessari, Romare Bearden, Paul Gauguin, Zoe Leonard, René Magritte, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Sir Peter Paul Rubens.One of the exhibition’s diverse and rich segments is a stellar array of drawings that date from the early sixteenth century to the first decade of the twenty-first. With a steady yet light touch of graphite, ink, or charcoal, artists have transformed once blank sheets of paper into pictures of blossoms bending, cupids playing, Christ praying, a female figure flying, and a "Study for Queer Mysteries," by D-L Alvarez.
