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