This exhibition draws an analogy between the achievements of a number of pioneering artists from the last 100 years and the defining character of the California pioneers of the nineteenth century. It will take the form of both a cultural history display and an exhibition of artworks by pioneering figures from the San Francisco Bay Area, with the two strands interrelated, overlapping, and interwoven, the common theme being the idea of traveling to new frontiers and breaking new ground.
The presentation will include works by Ant Farm, Robert Bechtle, Wallace Berman, the Cockettes, Bruce Conner, Jay DeFeo, Emory Douglas, Yun Gee, Anna Halprin, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Jess, Paul Kos, Dorothea Lange, José Montoya, Diego Rivera, Achilles Rizzoli, Ed Rossbach, Mario Savio, Rosie Lee Tompkins, and Katherine Westphal as well as a selection of artifacts from the collection of the Society of California Pioneers.
Lead sponsorship for Pioneers is provided by the Fleishhacker Foundation.
