Cornerstones - Robert Arneson and the Brick

North Beach

Robert Arneson spent decades proving a brick could be anything: a surrealist canvas with fingers emerging from clay, a vessel for motor oil, a monument to his own ego, even a self-portrait staring back at you. This first-of-its-kind exhibition gathers 25 rarely seen ceramic and bronze works that turn the humble brick into biography, wit, and mortality.
