Michael Kohn Gallery is pleased to participate in this year's Paris
Photo LA with a selection of iconic Verifax collages and black-and-white
photos by one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century, Wallace
Berman. Berman was a prominent Beat artist of 1950s and '60s California
counter-culture, whose assemblage and collage work can be found in most
major museum collections including SFMOMA, MOCA, LACMA, the Whitney Museum
of American Art, MOMA and more. In addition to holdings in museum permanent
collections, Berman was recently highlighted as a key contributor to
California's unique art history in Pacific Standard Time, a
statewide set of exhibitions mounted and organized by The Getty
Foundation.
The charismatic nucleus of a tightly knit creative
community, Berman photographed a circle of friends that would eventually
become instrumental art world figures themselves, such as Charles Brittin,
Jay DeFeo, Bruce Conner, Lyn Foulkes, Dennis Hopper, Alan Ginsberg and many
others that are now household names. Images of Berman and his circle by
photographer Charles Brittin will also be present in the Kohn Gallery booth
at Paris Photo LA to evoke the fascinating historical milieu surrounding
these artists in a turbulent era of racial tension, antiwar protest and the
women's liberation movement.
