Fran Herndon: Curated by Lee Plested & Kevin Killian

Sep 8 - Oct 29, 2011
Overview

Altman Siegel Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of work by Fran Herndon. This will be Herndon’s first exhibition with the gallery and amounts to a retrospective in miniature of a formative time in the artist’s development.

 

In Fran Herndon, curator Kevin Killian has worked with the artist to assemble a survey of the early work from the 1950s and 1960s when, as a young artist new to San Francisco’s bohemia, she began experimenting in a variety of media. The exhibition focuses on works created side by side with the California poet Jack Spicer (1925-1965), the man who urged Herndon to enroll in art school as a way to make magic.
