La mère la mer

The first exhibition organised by San Francisco’s McEvoy Foundation for the Arts brings together an impressive selection of works from McEvoy’s own collection alongside that of his mother, Nan Tucker McEvoy, both world-renowned collectors. This impressively executed catalogue illustrates the Foundation’s wide-ranging debut show, which highlighted the family collections’ strengths, documented here alongside an essay by curator Kevin Moore and an introduction by Nion McEvoy. A particular emphasis on Californian artists (Richard Diebenkorn, David Hockney, Ed Ruscha, Wayne Thiebaud) is matched by a wide array of recent acquisitions by artists including Anne Collier, Roe Ethridge, Nan Goldin, Carsten Höller, Ragnar Kjartansson, Zoe Leonard, James Welling and Christopher Williams, across mediums including sculpture, photography, installation, painting, video and illustration.
