Joe Goode

In 1969 Bernard Jacobson began his career as an art dealer, selling and publishing prints by important contemporary artists from a small fourth-floor gallery in London’s Mayfair. For a gallery founded on printmaking and which continues to stage major print shows by artists including Matisse and Motherwell, what better way could there be to celebrate this half century than a two-part exhibition devoted to printmaking?

This exhibition sees the grouping of recent work by Larry Bell, Joe Goode, William Tillyer, and Marc Vaux. All four were born in the 1930s - Bell and Goode prominent figures in the Los Angeles scene since passing through the Chouinard Art Institute in the early 1960s, Vaux and Tillyer having settled in London and Yorkshire respectively, after studying at the Slade, also in the early 1960s.

Bernard Jacobson Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by the renowned Los Angeles based artist Joe Goode. Born in 1937 in Oklahoma, Goode rose to prominence in the West Coast art scene of the early 1960s having made the voyage west with his childhood friend Ed Ruscha the preceding decade.
