SAN DIEGO, CA.- Running from January 13 to March 18, Mel Bochner: Drawing from Four Decades is the first exhibition to give an overview of Bochner’s drawing practice while Jasper Johns’ Green Angel highlights two significant etchings from the artist's Green Angel series, one of which he donated to the Museum in 2006.

This special exhibition is the first to offer an overview of Mel Bochner’s drawing practice, which has been at the center of his art since the start of his career. Drawing has remained key to Bochner’s art over subsequent decades, during which he both expanded upon his early work and extended his conceptual, visual, and emotional reach. The exhibition includes 29 works that suggest the density of Bochner's approach and the role drawing has played both in the creation of unique works and as a methodology essential to installation, painting, and sculpture.
