Elmer Bischoff

Five decades of the artist's work - 1940s to 1980s. Nelson Duni is proud to announce an exhibition of Elmer Bischoff, a celebration for one of the central figures of the Bay Area Figurative Movement and a pillar of San Francisco art. Opening January 22, 2026, and on view through March 15, the show coincides with San Francisco Art Week and the FOG Design+Art Fair, offering art lovers a rare opportunity to encounter Bischoff's work in depth. The exhibition will present some forty paintings and works on paper, spanning the artist's career from his early abstract, surrealist canvases and his large figurative compositions, to his joyous late abstractions. This comprehensive selection will illuminate Bischoff's singular ability to capture atmosphere and feeling through brushwork that is at once descriptive and entirely free of representation.
