### ....Bernd & Hilla Becher - Fraenkel Gallery - San Francisco - 05 Jan. / 25 Feb. 2023.... ###

A wide-ranging survey featuring typologies and industrial landscapes.

Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photographs by celebrated German artists Bernd and Hilla Becher, their fifth with the gallery. Spanning the Bechers’ career, the exhibition features approximately 35 works made between 1967 and 2010, including examples of their pioneering typologies, a selection of early industrial landscapes, and a collection of iconic water towers. The exhibition coincides with a major retrospective of the Bechers’ work organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art from December 17, 2022, until April 2, 2023.

### ....Shawn Huckins - Modernism Inc. Gallery - 12 Jan. to 04 March 2023 - San Francisco.... ###

Our relationship with cloth is visceral and primal -- we are swaddled in it at birth and aside from a caregiver’s embrace, fabric is our first experience with touch and comfort. Who of us, in times of turmoil, has not pulled the covers over our head, or wrapped ourselves in a loved one’s shirt, sweater, or scarf? To be covered is to be comforted, protected, and hidden. To wit, cloak is both a garment and an action to shield from sight.

MODERNISM is pleased to present its fourth solo exhibition of contemporary American painter Shawn Huckins. If I’m Home, Find Me Here employs modern fabrics painted over traditional American portraiture to explore questions surrounding what, how much, and how well we share and hide. ...” + info
