Join us for a very special late-summer stroll around the grounds of the privately-owned Oliver Ranch in Sonoma County, which features an extraordinary array of commissioned, site-specific art installations that are in dynamic dialogue with the surrounding environment. Tour participants will view installations throughout the property including works by internationally-renowned artists Andy Goldsworthy, Ann Hamilton, Viola Frey, Martin Puryear, and Richard Serra. Steve Oliver will provide a personal tour of the grounds and his remarkable stories and recollections of the artists and what it took to realize these monumental projects is not to be missed.
Following the 2+ hour sculpture walk our deluxe tour bus will take us a few miles away to the idyllic site of the Clos du Bois Winery where we will be served gourmet box lunches from North Berkeley's Poulet and drink special reserve wines. Guests may also partake in on-site wine tasting.
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity! Space is limited. Ticket price ($125 Berkeley Art Center members; $150 for non-members) is all-inclusive of bus, tour, box lunch and special reserve wines. All proceeds benefit Berkeley Art Center, a private, non-profit organization.

Fall Artist Lecture Series: Hung Liu
Saturday, November 19, 4pm
Celebrated Bay Area artist and Mills College professor, Hung Liu creates luminous and memorable works that focus on what she calls the "mythic poses' that underlay the photographic surfaces of history with an overlay of traditional Chinese birds, flowers, insects, and dragons, and, most recently, stylized human figures. Liu offers her subjects artistic evidence of their own rich heritage.

Fall Artist Lecture Series: Chris Brown
Saturday, December 3, 4pm
Brown is primarily a figurative artist, many of his paintings involve formal examinations of relations of scale and depth. Space in Brown's canvases is often irrational, an almost dream-like landscape where scale and distance fail to cohere. Brown's collages of memory images and photographic records converge in irrational juxtapositions—confounding representation and abstraction and testing the boundaries between pictorial modes. Christopher Brown lives in Berkeley and is represented by John Berggruen Gallery.
RSVPs are strongly encouraged by calling 510.644.6893 or e-mail annw [at] berkeleyartcenter.org
