Abstraction & Figuration in “Bischoff / Burckhardt: A Dialogue”

Bischoff/Burckhardt: A Dialogue, now at New York’s George Adams Gallery, creates a visual conversation between influential twentieth-century Bay-Area painter Elmer Bischoff (1916–1991) and contemporary New York-based painter Tom Burckhardt, drawing interesting parallels between Bischoff’s monumental abstractions and Burckhardt’s abstracted heads.
