Berry Campbell is pleased to present its third solo exhibition of works by Dan Christensen (1942-2007). This exhibition focuses on works created between 1977 and 1984, the eight-year period in which the artist created his Calligraphic Stain and Calligraphic Scrape paintings. Christensen, an artist with an intense passion for the possibilities of new paint materials and techniques, epitomized the union of paint and science in twentieth-century Color Field painting. In the late 1960s, Christensen’s art was championed by curators, critics, and art dealers with many of his paintings being placed in important public and private collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
