William T. Wiley: In Retrospect

Description

Continuing Exhibition
What’s It All Mean: William T. Wiley in Retrospect
Through July 18

What’s It All Mean: William T. Wiley in Retrospect presents a fifty-year survey of the work of one of the most singular artists of our time, a well-known and beloved Bay Area figure who is also a “national treasure,” in the words of Sidney Lawrence of the Wall Street Journal. Spanning the full scope of Wiley’s enormously vital career, the exhibition includes more than eighty paintings, drawings, watercolors, sculptures, installations, prints, book collaborations, films and videos, and even a Wiley-designed, functioning pinball machine. What’s It All Mean offers a freewheeling ride through the nooks and crannies of Wiley’s witty, idiosyncratic, and sharply critical imagination, while holding up a telling mirror to American social and political life over the past half century.

Guided Tours
Guided tours of the exhibition will be offered on selected Sundays; please consult the calendar on our website for dates. Tour guides are UC Berkeley graduate students Jadine Collingwood, Aglaya Glebova, Laura Janku, and Lizzy Ramhorst from the Department of History of Art, and Suzanne Li Puma from the Department of Rhetoric.
