SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Anna Kunzs abstract paintings and installations envelop the viewer in an immersive sensorial experience led by vibrating colors, seeping shapes, and rhythmic, rippling textures that generate what she calls compassionate geometry. Her works on paper, paintings, installations, and other compositions are held in numerous public and private collections, and have been exhibited in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, and Madrid, among other cities.
Berggruen Gallery recently presented Anna Kunzs work in a solo exhibition entitled The Tide (January - February 2023). Works by the artist will be on view at The Armory Show in New York and Art Basel Miami Beach later this year.
