55 years. Berggruen Gallery

Berggruen Gallery in San Francisco announces its 55th Anniversary Exhibition, a group show running from June 26 to August 14, 2025. The exhibition features paintings, works on paper, sculpture, film, and archival ephemera from the SFMOMA Library and SFAI archive, showcasing museum-quality works by contemporary and historical artists. Many pieces are on loan from private collections and rarely exhibited publicly. The gallery, founded by John Berggruen in 1970 on Grant Avenue, quickly became a nationally recognized force in shaping the West Coast art scene, bridging New York and international artists with local collectors.
