9 Great Bay Area art shows to see right now

Berggruen is celebrating its 55th anniversary with a landmark exhibition tracing its legacy as a powerhouse of modern and contemporary art. The show features paintings, sculpture, film, and archival ephemera from 49 artists, including local icons like Richard Diebenkorn and Robert Bechtle and global masters like Alexander Calder and Ellsworth Kelly. Among the highlights are rarely seen pieces on loan from private collections, including work from Helen Frankenthaler, and a historic 1942 film documenting the Bay Area art scene. The exhibition is both a retrospective and a vibrant statement of the gallery’s impact locally and beyond.
