Did You Know?

The original owner of this painting sold it to the museum because she felt it was too large to comfortably hang in the Frank Lloyd Wright house she had just purchased.

Description

The hilly coastal landscape of Berkeley, California, informed a series of paintings by Richard Diebenkorn, who assigned numbers as titles to most of them. Despite this source, the artist emphasized the abstract qualities of these works, insisting in his notebook, "I am not a landscape painter."
