Gertrud Parker: The Possible celebrates the life and career of visionary artist Gertrud Parker (1924-2021) who made radical experimentation with craft and materials the wellspring of her extraordinary, decades-long practice. Offering an unprecedented view into the artists exploratory and resourceful approach to art-making, the exhibition features sculpture, paintings, watercolors, and textiles composed from an astounding array of media. Also on view are works from the artist's personal collection of key European and Mexican Surrealist women artists such as Alice Rahon and Leonora Carrington and Dynaton artists such as Wolfgang Paalen, Luchita Hurtado, and Gordon Onslow Ford whose work and friendship influenced the artist.
Co-curated by Natasha Boas & Jennifer McCabe with special thanks to Caitlin McCaffrey & Asha McGee. Drs. Natasha Boas and Jennifer McCabe are both contemporary art curators and scholars who have collaborated for over two decades. At the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Folk Art from 2007 - 2012, the curatorial duo produced critically acclaimed and Warhol Foundation-sponsored exhibitions with contemporary artists who engaged in a very broad definition of craft and folk art.
