Sargent Claude Johnson

This exhibition of 41 works draws from The Huntington’s important collection by the artist as well as key loans from institutional and private collections, some not seen publicly in decades.

On view will be The Huntington’s Head of a Boy (ca. 1928) and monumental carved redwood Organ Screen (1933–34), which was created for the auditorium of the California School for the Blind in Berkeley, California. In this exhibition, the screen—which had been out of public view from 1980 to 2011, when The Huntington acquired it—will be reunited with the other parts of Johnson’s California School for the Blind commission for the first time in over four decades.
