Episode No. 85 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features curator Timothy Anglin Burgard.
Burgard is the co-curator (with Palm Springs Art Museum director Steven A. Nash) of “Richard Diebenkorn: The Berkeley Years, 1953-66.” The exhibition opens Saturday, June 22 at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, where it is on view through September 29. The exhibition catalogue — which includes full-page plates of many Berkeley-era paintings not in the exhibition — is published by Yale University Press. Burgard, Nash and Emma Acker contributed three of the best catalogue essays I’ve read this year. If you are interested in 20th-century painting, this book needs to be in your library.
Burgard is the curator of American art at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. He has organized exhibitions on Enrico Donati, Frank Lobdell and Stephen De Staebler.
Burgard and host Tyler Green discussed the importance of the Bayeux Tapestries to a young Diebenkorn. See images of them here.
