Berkeley, CA.- The University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA) presents “Kurt Schwitters: Color and Collage, the first major overview of the German artist’s work presented in the United States since the Museum of Modern Art’s celebrated 1985 retrospective. The exhibition includes approximately eighty assemblages, sculptures, and collages made between 1918 and 1947 that elucidate the relationship between collage and painting—as well as color and material—in Schwitters’s work. It also features the reconstruction of the artist’s monumental walk-in installation piece, ‘Merzbau’, which was bombed by the Allies in 1943. Originated by the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas and on view at BAM/PFA through November 27th, this presentation is the only West Coast stop for the exhibition.
