Due to his significant contributions to Abstract Expressionism, Bay Area Figuration, and his highly acclaimed Ocean Park series, American painter and printmaker Richard Diebenkorn is regarded as one of the leading artists of the 20th century. Diebenkorn in New Mexico: 1950-1952 highlightes a little known period of Diebenkorn's life that had a lasting impact on his career. The exhibition brings together 50 paintings, works on paper, and sculpture that have never been seen together before.
