Burt Shonberg is one of the best-kept secrets in the art world.
But his art, having only ever been exhibited once before in a solo exhibition in Los Angeles in 1967, is about to be re-introduced to the world some 50 years later by historian, curator, and longtime Shonberg advocate Brian Chidester at the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in Cleveland Ohio. The exhibition opens on August 17, 2021, and will be accompanied by the first-ever catalog of Shonberg's works.
Brian says.. "..Shonberg was too strange for even the '60s California sci-fi world, and too far removed from the fine art establishment, to be embraced by either. Even today, when radical viewpoints are commonplace in the art world, Shonberg has yet to receive recognition. Meanwhile, a unique body of work remains hidden in plain sight."
Have a look at some of the works in the exhibition and a selection of other works by the artist.
The catalog will be available through the Buckland Museum upon the exhibition's opening, which runs from August 17th - November 1st, 2021.
