Things to do in San Francisco, California (CA): The Best Art Galleries
Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

The gallery specializes in the exhibition and sale of 20th-century American and European paintings, drawings, sculpture, and limited edition prints. We exhibit the work of major American post-war artists as well as younger contemporary artists. The gallery also presents exhibitions of a historic nature by artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Ellsworth Kelly, Alexander Calder, and Henri Matisse.

On January 18, I attended the opening of Berggruen's latest show, John Alexander: Landscape and Memory & Mark di Suvero: Sculpture. I have enjoyed the events I've attended at the gallery. This was my second opening and in November I attended an artist talk on the works of Helen Frankenthaler, subject of their last show. The talk was led by two very knowledgeable scholars, and was very informative. The Frankenthaler paintings were beautiful and evocative. This opening, like the previous one, was well-attended. The di Suvero and Alexander works are obviously not as important as the Frankenthalers, but were interesting on their own and in juxtaposition; the sculptures are abstract and the paintings are figurative. In addition to the usual white wine and sparkling water, the gallery served vodka and some juices. In addition, the artists were in attendance. The facility itself is very impressive, an ultra modern space in a historic building. It's three floors are connected by a gorgeous glass and stainless steel staircase. (There is also an elevator.). I highly recommend a visit to Berggruen, especially because it's located across the street from SFMOMA and in between two other excellent galleries, Gagosian and Crown Point Press, which are also worth a stop.
