Peter Saul, View of SF / Red Plane, 1985. Acrylic and oil on canvas, 67 x 109 in. di Rosa collection, Napa.
Peter Saul‘s lush and masterfully rendered paintings have been admired and derided far and wide for more than 50 years. A San Francisco native, Saul (b. 1934) has charted his own candy-colored course from California to Paris to Austin to New York, exploring sex, money, politics, self-loathing, food, war, death, and many combinations therein. Marking the first time all seven Saul works in the di Rosa collection have been exhibited simultaneously, this presentation also includes one of only two Saul sculptures in existence, Relax in Electric Chair (Dirty Guy) from 1965. Together, this arresting collection presents the outline of a singular career defined less by trends than by bucking them. Curated by Amy Owen and Jordan Stein.
