Francis DeErdely Major Exhibition and New Book

Francis DeErdely: Striking Figures is currently on view at the Laguna Art Museum. Curated by California art historian Alissa Anderson Campbell, this is the first major exhibition since the artist’s lifetime (1904-1959), including 36 paintings and drawings by Francis DeErdely.



This exhibition is the result of Anderson Campbell’s 16 years of research and work gathering the artist’s paintings and drawings from various private and public collections and institutions throughout the US. She is the leading expert and authenticator on DeErdely’s work.

An exhibition catalog, written by Anderson Campbell has been published by Laguna Art Museum to accompany the show and is the first major biography on Francis DeErdely. Anderson Campbell conducted her research at the Smithsonian Archive of American Art and throughout California in 2006.

It is published by the Laguna Art Museum (2022).

For more information on Francis DeErdely see Anderson Art and Appraisals. For more information on the exhibition or Alissa Anderson Campbell’s lecture “Focus on the Figure”
