Wayne Thiebaud: Paintings and Pastels at the John Berggruen Gallery might suggest that the gallery now represents the dean of Northern California painters. In fact, the show consists of works sold by Berggruen over many years, borrowed back from their owners, with just a handful for sale. Only the genteel phrase "price upon request appearing a few times on the show list hints at Thiebaud's exalted position in the art market.
