Spotlighting innovative mediums and processes in California modernism, this show features works that push beyond traditional canvas— from Peter Voulkos' bronze sculpture reviving Bay Area casting at Garbanzo Works to James Melchert's tile abstractions. Drawing on UC Berkeley and Art Institute influences (e.g., Felix Ruvolo's students like Mark di Suvero), these pieces explore tactility and experimentation, with provenances like Richard Ayer's SFMOMA labels. Ideal for collectors interested in the material boldness of 1940s–1980s art, bridging 2D mixed media to 3D forms for a hands-on narrative of creative evolution.
