Biographical Information
Hans Hofmann (1880-1966), an early 20th century artist, an Abstract Expressionist, from Bavaria, started teaching art classes during summer session at the University of California, Berkley, in 1930. In 1963 he donated forty-five paintings and $250,000 to the University of California on the condition that an art museum be built on campus. Today the Berkeley Art Museum's (or the University of California, Berkeley, University Art Museum) collection of work by Hofmann is the largest in any museum internationally.
