We are looking forward to celebrating TOSH, published by City Lights! Tosh Berman will be in conversation with Natalia Mount, Executive Director, Pro Arts Gallery, Oakland
Listen: https://soimportant.podbean.com/e/tosh-berman-on-growing-up-in-wallace-bermans-world/
Tosh Berman offers a child’s eye view of Bohemia, a charming insider’s look at his father Wallace Berman’s world. A critical figure in the history of postwar American culture, Wallace Berman was known as the "father of assemblage art.” Wallace Berman and his wife, famed beauty and artist's muse Shirley Berman, raised Tosh between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and their home life was a heady atmosphere of art, music, and literature, with local and international luminaries regularly passing through including: George Herms and Marcel Duchamp; Michael McClure, Allen Ginsberg, Diane di Prima and William S. Burroughs; Dennis Hopper and Dean Stockwell; the Rolling Stones and Neil Young. Features a preface by Amber Tamblyn, a fellow traveler of sorts in this milieu.
TOSH takes an unflinching look at the triumphs and tragedies of his unusual upbringing by an artistic genius with all-too-human frailties, against a backdrop that includes Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Wallace Berman is one of the many cultural luminaries pictured on the cover), Easy Rider, and more. Sadly, Wallace Berman was tragically killed by a drunk driver in Los Angeles when he was 50.
