Berggruen Gallery is proud to announce our 55th Anniversary Exhibition, a celebratory group show marking over half a century of championing exceptional contemporary and modern art. Featuring paintings, works on paper, sculpture, film, and archival ephemera from the SFMOMA Library, and SFAI archive, this ambitious exhibition showcases museum-quality works by contemporary and historical artists, illustrating Berggruen Gallery's extensive curatorial history as well as its commitment to the development of the arts in the San Francisco Bay Area. Many of the works included in the show are on loan from private collections and have rarely been exhibited to the public.
Berggruen Gallery—across its various spaces and iterations—has offered San Francisco a place where world-class art can be seen, contemplated, and collected for 55 years and counting. John Berggruen continues to energetically promote fine art through his deep curatorial knowledge, ever-present enthusiasm—and always with humor he might joke, “Fifty-five years—isn’t that long enough?”
