Synopsis

The book presents the first accurate timeline of the seminal Dilexi gallery, founded in 1958 by Jim Newman and Robert Alexander. It offers the first accurate accounts of lesser known artists William Dubin, Muriel Goodwin Francis, Gary Molitor, Leslie Kerr, Arthur Richer, Alvin Light, Julius Wasserstein, Philip Roeber, Raymond Rocklin, Arlo Acton, Horst Trave, and Alan Lynch, all of whom were key participants in the California art scene and who have been overlooked through time. It also ventures into film, video and music projects which extended the gallery’s ethos and vision. Central to the narrative of the book is the important convergences happening from 1958 to 1972 between contemporary art and experimental music. These convergences in San Francisco would prove to be key roots of the art and music of the late 60s and the currents of minimalism and conceptualism that followed.
