The show at San Francisco's Legion of Honor will pair Schnabel's paintings with Classical art from the museum's collection.
The Julian Schnabel revival continues, with the ’80s art star slated to have a solo show at the Legion of Honor at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco in April 2018.
Since rejoining the Pace stable in May 2016, after a 14-year stint with Gagosian Gallery, Schnabel has had a very busy year. In addition to this triumphant return to his old gallery, with a show of new plate paintings (a series of works that first catapulted him to fame back in 1979), Schnabel has had major exhibitions at the Aspen Art Museum; the Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut; and currently has a show at the Schloss Derneburg Museum in Germany, as well as an opening this week at the Almine Rech Gallery in New York.
