Redux” is a reconfiguration of the iconic works from the museum’s

most well-attended show in its history, “Surf Culture -- The Art

History of Surfing.” Past, present and future links between surfing

and art are explored through works of art by surfers and artists

influenced by surfing.

“While Pollock Was Sleeping: Bay Area Abstract Expressionism from

the Blair Collection:” will open July 31 and run through Oct. 2.

The Blair Collection provides a rich view of California Abstract

Expressionist painting from 1948 to 1964. Many paintings in the

collection have not been displayed for more than 40 years. The

collection includes a few easily recognizable names, but many more of

the works in the exhibition are by artists who are lesser known but

equally significant to the California-based “Second Wave” of Abstract

Expressionist painting.
