SUMMARY:The SVMA is open Wed-Sun 11am-5pm except major holidays

This exhibition is a retrospective of the work of Nancy Genn, a Berkeley-based artist, whose long career explores the history of post-war American art in the fields of gestural abstraction and abstract expressionism. Genn’s work addresses cross-cultural connections. She is known for working in various media, including paintings, bronze sculpture, printmaking, and notably, handmade paper rooted in the Japanese washi papermaking tradition. Influenced by her extensive travels, Asian craft aesthetics, and spiritual traditions, her work features nature’s effects of light, landscape, and water, along with the human presence represented by architectural motifs and functional objects.

Genn’s work can be found in distinguished collections such as the Achenbach Foundation, San Francisco, CA; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY; American Craft Museum, New York, NY; Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; Library of Congress, Washington, DC; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; Museum of Modern Art, New York, New York, NY; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; and Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC.
