Three Artists (Westerman, Cornell and Rodia)
by Cork Marcheschi 
In December of 1978 there was an H.C. Westerman show at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Westerman had been one of my favorite artists since I first saw his work in the early '60s. It was the last day of the show and there was a line out the door. I was really surprised.... Read the full article here.
