De la exhibición ‘Lines of Thought’ en BAMPFA (January 5–July 3, 2022)

Hoy la directora, a quien al final le tocó curar esta exhibición, nos dio un tour de la exhibición:

Lines of Thought
Gestural Abstraction in the BAMPFA Collection

Acá les va un poco sobre esta exhibición:

As a result of a transformative gift of nearly fifty paintings by the artist Hans Hofmann in the 1960s, Abstract Expressionism and its various offshoots (Color Field, action painting, gestural abstraction) have become a foundational strength of BAMPFA’s collection. Abstract Expressionism was both an international style and a hallmark of artmaking in the Bay Area in the mid-twentieth century, and many of the artists included in this exhibition taught at UC Berkeley, including Hofmann, Hassel Smith, and Esteban Vicente.
