The inaugural exhibition, "Far Out: Northern California Art," features artists such as Enrique Chagoya, Peter Saul, Viola Frey, Roy De Forest, and Jay DeFeo, celebrating the radical, countercultural ethos of the region.

di rosa art center estate sale 1234770699

The di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art in Napa, California, has listed its 217-acre estate for $10.9 million amid ongoing financial struggles. The property, which houses a significant collection of postwar Northern California art including works by Mark di Suvero, Peter Saul, and Jay DeFeo, was founded by collector Rene di Rosa and his wife Veronica. The center has been seeking financial stability since 2019, when it briefly attempted to sell its holdings before reversing course after local backlash. Director Kate Eilertsen hopes a wealthy philanthropist will purchase the estate and lease it back to the center, or that Napa County may acquire the land for public use while preserving the sculptures.

This Berkeley MFA exhibition probes how museums and institutions exclude disabled bodies

Priyanka D’Souza's Master of Fine Arts thesis installation, "b. Call in sick," opens today at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) as part of the annual MFA exhibition at UC Berkeley. D’Souza, one of six graduating MFA students, created works that critique how museums and institutions exclude disabled bodies, using angled shelves, rolling stools, and seating to privilege seated viewers over standing ones. Her practice draws on campus protest photos from Berkeley archives, transformed into semi-abstract renderings, and builds on her earlier Instagram project "Resting Museum," developed after a residency at the Delfina Foundation in London.
