Diebenkorn Exhibit at de Young Museum

A couple of weeks ago I was in San Francisco and was lucky enough to go to the de Young Museum of Art in Golden Gate Park on the recommendation of a friend. The de Young is a beautiiful building made of Copper, stone, wood and glass and set in a beautifully landscaped sculpture garden and grounds. The big surprise for me was the large “Berkeley Years” retrospective of Richard Diebenkorn.  I had only seen his works in books, so I was not prepared for the stunning abstract/landscapes in person.  If you are in the area, it closes Sept 29th and is well worth seeing.  If not, lets hope it goes on tour soon.
