'The Brockman Gallery: Los Angeles, 1967–1990' is the first large-scale exhibition dedicated to the impact of the Brockman Gallery.
The exhibition features rich archival material and over 60 works of art across media, all with ties to the Davises’ community-oriented project.
The Brockman Gallery was founded in South L.A. by brothers Alonzo and Dale Brockman Davis in the wake of the Watts Rebellion.
The gallery became vital for young artists of color, including David Hammons, Suzanne Jackson, and Carrie Mae Weems.
The exhibition traces how the Davises cultivated a space for artistic experimentation, intellectual exchange, and multicultural community.
This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
