Richard Diebenkorn: Still Life opens tomorrow, Wednesday, April 29, showcasing 14 works from the Diebenkorn family collection that have never been for sale, highlighting the artist’s Berkeley period still lifes from 1956 to 1967.

The quotidian objects are made extraordinary by the artist’s use of them as instruments of tension. An empty chair in solitude is not only abundant in its evocative capability and compact symbolism but also a multifaceted pictorial tool that reflects daylight and casts a shadow, adds gravity to the horizon, and fractures the balance of a rectangular picture plane.

This week is the last week to see Jackie Saccoccio: Portraits. Open through Friday, April 24th.

"Sometimes the packed, geometric zigzags of microchip components seem to shine forth from the paintings. Saccoccio was known for using rows of drips, then changing their directions by re-angling her canvases while her oils were wet. She also messed with these drips in other ways: In her 2017 painting “Portrait (Widower),” there is a brush mark at the end of each rivulet, as if the painter were adding a single bead to each fringe on a shirt." –Dawn Chan for Art Gallery Shows to See in March, The New York Times, 2026

"The paintings also seem to imagine what a cloud, itself, might see down below: grids of human activity — railroad tracks and parking lots — merging with the organic shapes of rivers and ridges." -Dawn Chan

“In the compositions of late American artist Jackie Saccoccio, the evocation of otherworldly terrains is precisely balanced with the marks and traces of the highly physical process that brought them to life.”

Van Doren Waxter is pleased to exhibit Portraits, a show of works by the late American painter, Jackie Saccoccio. The exhibition opens on March 12, with an opening reception from 6 to 8 PM. Showcasing five paintings, including two monumental works titled “Portraits,” as well as seven works on paper, Portraits presents Saccoccio’s mature works.

The distinctly figurative title, Portrait, came after Saccoccio's revelatory trip to Rome. Having long been inspired by Roman Baroque paintings and architecture, when faced with a larger-than-life statue of Pope Innocent X by Alessandro Algardi at the Capitoline Museum, Saccoccio was astounded by the immersive force of the monument. Within its immense scale, the sculpture contained multitudes of intricate details that captured light and shadow. Saccoccio’s mark-making reflects the desire for such multiplicity– rattling the deep pools of chemical and electric color underneath. The subject of Algardi’s sculpture is a distant reference, similar to Saccoccio’s amorphous field of color. Without explicit historical attributions, but through their sheer scale and depth, Saccoccio’s paintings push the viewers to look inwards to themselves, returning to the figure, the person, from abstraction.
