The Next Amazing Art Tour re-visits

The Best that San Francisco is Known For:

Elmer Bischoff, a giant of the San Francisco Figurative Art School

and
Jerry Barrish, an artist inspired to make art out of recycled plastic materials

First we will visit a brand new gallery that is showing an important selection of paintings and drawings by Elmer Bischoff. With artworks that range from 1947 to 1982, this tyoe of museum-quality exhibit is rarely shown in galleries. Bischoff’s work includes examples of figurative works from the fifties that he created as a peer of Richard Diebenkorn and David Park. It also includes the abstract paintings of his later years.

In assoication with this gallery, we will also visit the studio of Bay Area sculptor, Jerry Barrish. Barrish has been making art out of found plastics for decades. Recently he has been casting select pieces in bronze. We will receive rare access to his studio space and learn about his vision and his process.

Following a no-host lunch at a nearby cafe, we will visit a local storefront City Art collective of San Francisco artists.

Let the adventure happen!
