Cornerstones: Robert Arneson and the Brick

Paul Thiebaud Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Cornerstones – Robert Arneson and the Brick on Saturday March 21, 2026, with a reception from 3-5pm and a gallery talk at 3:30pm. Featuring more than 25 never before or rarely seen ceramic and bronze sculptures, drawings, and prints, this exhibition is the first to focus on Arneson's use of the brick as an integral form in the development and trajectory of his career. Employed as canvas, vessel, homage, surrealist expression, monument, conceptual object, and a medium for portraiture, Robert Arneson explored the possibilities of what a brick is and could be in greater dimension and depth than any other artist before him.
