Over 45 works from the California art legend Wallace Berman, including selections from his rare short film Aleph. Wallace Berman (1926–76) was a notorious guru of the 1960s art pan theon. Often cited as a West Coast Beat Generation artist who rubbed elbows with the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Dennis Hopper and the Rolling Stones, his contributions transcend the comparisons of his aesthetic and the associations that he kept. A self-taught artist, Berman was influenced by Surrealism, Dadaism and the Kabbalah, as well as jazz music and the mystical symbols and popular imagery of his time. Hardcover, 152 pages. Show more
