(see times)
San Francisco, CA – A major exhibition, “Hans Burkhardt – Expressionism in the 1960’s – Paintings and Drawings” will be featured at Paul Mahder Gallery.
This will be the first exhibit of Burkhardt’s paintings in San Francisco of this scale and scope since a landmark 30-year retrospective at the Legion of Honor in 1961-62.
The exhibition, curated by Peter Selz, former chief curator of New York MOMA, includes paintings and drawings spanning the entire decade of the 1960s, a critical period in the evolution of American art. Works in the exhibition reveal the full range of Burkhardt’s paintings, reflecting both the excitement of a decade marked by the hopeful social revolution that was the 1960s, and works of unprecedented potency in their protest of the Viet Nam War.
