"It may seem improbable that a mid-twentieth century artist who was a student of Richard Diebenkorn and Saburō Hasegawa, who hung out with Jay DeFeo, Bruce Conner, and the Bay Area Beat artists, and who was a respected community organizer and arts administrator went relatively unknown during their lifetime. But such is the story of Bernice Bing (1936–98), a queer, Chinese American, female painter who left behind a captivating body of work upon her death twenty-six years ago. A smattering of recent shows on the West Coast have begun peeling back the shell encasing her largely unknown legacy. Now, Berry Campbell Gallery is presenting BINGO, an important show of the artist’s work that will surely do much to further scholarship on this under-acknowledged artist."
