Comment: I agree with the last reviewer. Most of the cited sources do not discuss Barrish at all, and most are simple database pages. A example of a good source would be a biography or a paper analysing Barrish's works. Ca talk to me! 11:38, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The draft needs to be improved by adding fully independent, signficant coverage in reliable sources. The sourcing on the permanent collections should not be cited to an art sales site (that should be removed); the other source used in collections is an interview which is a primary source - please try to find the museums' collections website themselves to provide verification that he is actually in these collections. The public art work should be sourced to an independent reliable source. Netherzone (talk) 20:03, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Jerry Ross Barrish (born July 23, 1939) is a San Francisco artist known for his filmmaking and found object assemblage sculpture.
Early life
[edit]Barrish was born in 1939 in San Francisco, California. In 1961 he created a successful bail bonds business. He posted bail for protesters jailed during many now-iconic social movements including 1964's Auto Row Protests, Berkeley's Free Speech Movement of 1964-65, the San Francisco State University Strike (Third World Liberation Front Strikes) of 1968-69, amongst others.[1][2]
Art
[edit]Sculpture
[edit]Barrish studied with CB (Charles Betram) Johnson as an apprentice sculptor (1968–1969).[3] He created first portfolio in metal, bronze and stone.
Film
[edit]Barrish received his BFA (1974) and his MFA (1976) in filmmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute.[4] He studied with James Broughton and George Kuchar. His first feature-length film, Dan's Motel (1981) was selected for New Directors, New Films at NYC Lincoln Center.[5] His second independent feature was Recent Sorrows (1984) which gained him access to the prestigious DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) program in 1986. Upon his return to the United States, he shot his final film Shuttlecock (1989).
In Berlin, Barrish was cast in the role of an American director in Wim Wenders' Palme d'Or winning Wings of Desire (1987). Barrish also acted in Until the End of the World (1991), also directed by Wenders, Rembrandt Laughing (1991), written and directed by Jon Jost, and I Married a Heathen (1974) directed by George Kuchar. He is the star of a documentary, Plastic Man: The Artful Life of Jerry Barrish (2014) directed by William Farley which details his practice and life story.[6]
Found object assemblage
[edit]In 1988, Barrish shifted his focus back to sculpture, creating assemblages using plastic found materials. He has amassed a large body of work in found object assemblage spanning from 1988 to present.
Select notable works have been reborn into bronze sculptures.
He is represented in many permanent collections including The Oakland Museum of California, Berkeley Art Museum, Crocker Museum and San Jose Art Museum.[7][8][9]
Public art commission
[edit]Bayview Horn is located at The Shipyard SF at Hunters Point. It was commissioned by Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (successor to San Francisco Redevelopment Agency).[10]
