The UC Davis legacy includes a series of coexisting developments explored by artists in Northern California at the end of the Twentieth Century. This extended community has been critically undervalued relative to movements coming out of New York and Southern California. Irving Marcus: Romance & Disaster is the first museum retrospective of this important, and yet overlooked, artist. The exhibition surveys more than 45 years of work; featured are his vibrant and intensely personal paintings exhibited alongside works on paper.

This reception event for this exhibit takes place on September 27 with live music from Münechild and hands-on activities.
