Rhapsody: Works from the Cooper Rosenwasser Collection

Visited the Berkeley Art Museum and had a look at the current exhibit Rhapsody: Works from the Cooper Rosenwasser. It is great news that these pieces are becoming part of the museum’s permanent collection — everyone will be able to enjoy them when they are exhibited for years to come.
There is a lot of outstanding work, and of course I really get excited when I see other artists doing art that is all about circles and grids. Jennifer Bartlett’s Binary Combinations was a favorite of mine.  Howardena Pindell’s piece is one of those things that makes me say, “I wish I had done that…”  Consider me inspired.  The current show is up through June 28, 2026.
