Description

Deeply engaged with the unique setting of the Bay Area, artist Richard Diebenkorn profoundly influenced postwar American art during his years spent working in Berkeley, from 1953 to 1966. Explore this first exhibition to focus on this pivotal period in Diebenkorn's career.

During his years in Berkeley, Diebenkorn was deeply engaged with the unique setting of the Bay Area, saturating his works with color, light, and atmosphere. More than 130 paintings and drawings, beginning with the artist's earlier abstract works and moving through his subsequent figurative phase, display his profound influence on postwar American art.

A companion retrospective exhibition of photographs by Rose Mandel, a colleague and contemporary of Diebenkorn's, further illuminates this dynamic period in Bay Area art and provides an intimate view of the painter’s studio.
