Berry Campbell is pleased to be the final venue of the Syd Solomon traveling museum exhibition, Syd Solomon: Concealed and Revealed. After opening at the Deland Museum, Florida, in 2016, the retrospective traveled to the Greenville County Museum, South Carolina (2017), and then to Guild Hall Museum, East Hampton, New York (2018). The exhibition opened in December of 2019 at The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, Florida, and was on view through January 2021. This special exhibition opens at Berry Campbell on January 6, 2022 and continues through February 5, 2022.
"Syd Solomon: Concealed and Revealed" consists of 16 paintings and works on paper sourced from the Estate of Syd Solomon. Newly discovered materials from the Solomon Archive detail how Syd Solomon's World War II camouflage designs and other early graphic arts skills were foundational to his unique approach to Abstract Expressionism. This new information furthers the understanding of Syd Solomon’s life and work.
