On January 18, I attended the opening of Berggruen's latest show, John Alexander: Landscape and Memory & Mark di Suvero: Sculpture. I have enjoyed the events I've attended at the gallery. This was my second opening and in November I attended an artist talk on the works of Helen Frankenthaler, subject of their last show. The talk was led by two very knowledgeable scholars, and was very informative. The Frankenthaler paintings were beautiful and evocative.
This opening, like the previous one, was well-attended. The di Suvero and Alexander works are obviously not as important as the Frankenthalers, but were interesting on their own and in juxtaposition; the sculptures are abstract and the paintings are figurative.
In addition to the usual white wine and sparkling water, the gallery served vodka and some juices. In addition, the artists were in attendance. The facility itself is very impressive, an ultra modern space in a historic building. It's three floors are connected by a gorgeous glass and stainless steel staircase. (There is also an elevator.). I highly recommend a visit to Berggruen, especially because it's located across the street from SFMOMA and in between two other excellent galleries, Gagosian and Crown Point Press, which are also worth a stop.

The new Berggruen Gallery just opened in January of 20l7. Located in San Francisco, near MOMA , it is a lovely gallery that has three levels in a modern interior filled with light. The gallery features prominent artists and artwork with an initial show entitled “ The Human Form,” which will run through March 4th. ” From Picasso to Matisse, and beyond really, the show includes sculpture as well as paintings. Hopper, Thiebaud, Matisse and Henry Moore are some of my favorite artists, so it was a pleasure to view works I had not seen before. Open to the public, it is a gallery, not a museum, and there is no admission charge. Definitely worth seeing this assemblage of early 20th century and beyond gives us an overview of some of the best artists in works that have been carefully chosen to showcase a variety of styles, connected to the human form. Include this fine gallery in your next visit to San Francisco. You will be pleased with the art and the interior of the building as well.

Other than SFMOMA, this gallery seems unconventional and unexpected. It is not a museum and no fee is charged to view the art which is all for sale. I happened to meet one of the owners and she was most kind and welcoming, as was the rest of the staff. The art on display changes with different collections being shown during the year, so you cannot really be certain to see a particular artist or work. It may be sold, as well as not being on display. It was a very interesting way to pass an hour, and not well known so there are no crowds. I enjoyed spending time in this gallery and would return the next time I am in town.

I don't think people realise it's there, I had the place to myself and wandered round taking my time over each picture. If you're interested in art it's well worth popping in. Completely free and a great way to see a real Picasso without battling vast crowds of people.

To happen upon a light and airy space one block from MOMA. Free. 3 floors of the great Helen Frankenthaler's work. Wow. What a treat! If in the vicinity check out this gallery.
