Overview

San Francisco: The Golden Age details the extra ordinary development of the Bay Area art scene between 1930 and 1960. During that time, a great museum director, an enlightened patron and a brilliant art school came together to create an environment that nurtured a host of innovative artists. The 1940s and 1950s saw the emergence of a startling number of distinctive artists in the Bay Area including Clyfford Still, Claire Falkenstein, Jay DeFeo, Richard Diebenkorn and Ruth Asawa. Working far from the art world power bases in Europe and New York, these artists developed styles of art-making that are only now being fully recognised but helped put San Francisco on the map as an artist destination.
