The Museum of Art & History at the McPherson Center

Futzie Nutzle: December 17, 2011–March 18, 2012

Artist Futzie Nutzle, aka Bruce Kleinsmith, is an arts activist who helped make Santa Cruz the rich artist-oriented city it is today. This exhibition highlights his drawings and assemblages, some of which have been collected by and featured in the Museum of Modern Art, Rolling Stone Magazine and The Japan Times. Nutzle’s work was shown in Café Pergolesi, the first generation of modern coffee shops in Santa Cruz. His visual puns are spare, clear, amusing, and go right to the center of the issue at hand.

This exhibition is in the Art Forum gallery on the third floor of the MAH.

This exhibition is funded in part by Chris Winfield Gallery.
