PAINTINGS AT THE / METART GALLERY / SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / JUNE 17 THRU JULY 14 / JULY 1950
Work Description: 
This hand-lettered ephemera was created to document the exhibition "Paintings by Clyfford Still" at the Metart Gallery in San Francisco. In 1946, Still returned to the Bay Area to begin teaching at the California School of Fine Arts. A group of CSFA students opened the Metart Gallery at the artist's recommendation in 1949. With the announcement of his resignation from his position the following year, Still's students invited him to show a selection of thirteen paintings, twelve of which were completed during his teaching term at the school. On view June 17 through July 14, 1950, the presentation of these artworks served as the gallery’s final exhibition.
