Review:
The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive was established in 1963 with a donation of several paintings and funds from Hans Hofmann, an artist and teacher. Opened in 1970, the museum is associated with the University of California, Berkeley. Some of the featured artists include Robert Mapplethorpe, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko, among others. One of the museum’s programs is The MATRIX Program for Contemporary Art, and it recently acquired Steven Leiber’s collection of art materials and Conceptual Art. Founded in 1966 by Sheldon Renan, the Pacific Film Archive screens international films and has a library with an online database of the films. The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive recently moved into a new building designed by renowned architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
