Here is a brief synopis from that site, as well as an interesting comment (bolded below).

I know, but this is my blog goddamnit and I am excited about this.  My favorite artist of all time, and my favorite of his various stages of work is FINALLY getting an exhibition.  It will tour in 2 years, and I fully plan to take a trip to whatever city it is in to spend some time with it.

Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series, 1967 to 1985
Newport Beach

oct 11, 2009 - mar 14, 2010

Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series, 1967 to 1985 is the first major museum exhibition of the artist’s most celebrated series. Recognized as a leading West Coast Abstract Expressionist in the 1950s, Diebenkorn turned his attention to figurative painting in 1955 and achieved equal success in this alternate style. In 1968 he returned to abstraction, and during the next twenty years would forge one of the most compelling and masterful bodies of work of the 20th century: the Ocean Park series. Featuring nearly 75 works—including paintings, prints, drawings, and collages—this exhibition captures Diebenkorn’s practice of working simultaneously in diverse media and provides audiences with the first opportunity to explore the complexity of Diebenkorn’s artistic and aesthetic concerns in this seminal body of work. The exhibition will be accompanied by a 250-page fully illustrated exhibition catalogue, and will tour in 2010.


This exhibition is organized by Sarah Bancroft, curator at OCMA.

Here is Ocean Park #49 just for kicks.
