Abstract:
Southern California artist, writer, and
musician George Herms was one of the founders of the West Coast assemblage movement.
Influenced by the art of his close friend Wallace Berman, his work brings together discards,
beach trash, urban detritus and other "found objects" to create a highly original and
personal mix of collage, sculpture, and assemblage. The bulk of the papers comprise full
documentation of Herms' life and work from 1960-2000.
