Abstract: Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the artist's accidental death at age 50, this volume offers the first substantial survey of the entire oeuvre of Wallace Berman (1926-76) from the late 1940s until 1976. Berman intersected with several intriguing cultural moments, starting with his first Los Angeles solo show in 1957 at Ed Kienholz and Walter Hopps' Ferus Gallery. He also participated in an important 1966 group exhibition in London at the legendary Robert Fraser Gallery, whose other artists included Richard Hamilton, Bruce Conner and Peter Blake--who put Berman's face among the notable crowd in his cover for the Beatles' 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. Exhibition: Michael Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles, USA. (06.05-24.06.2016).
