Helen Ann Berggruen[1] (born May 23, 1945) is an American painter who is primarily inspired by French impressionism, Dutch genre painting as well as Indian and Persian miniature. She is a daughter of Heinz Berggruen, sister of John Berggruen and half-sister of Olivier Berggruen and Nicolas Berggruen.
Early life and education
Berggruen was born on May 23, 1945, in San Francisco, California, the second of two children born to German-born Heinz Berggruen, a devoted art dealer and collector, and Lillian Zellerbach, a scion of a well-known San Francisco family. Her maternal grandfather was Isadore Zellerbach (1866-1941), who was the president of Crown Zellerbach Paper Company, and a devoted philanthropist. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Sarah Lawrence College in 1967.[2][3] Between 1971 and 1974 she studied with Director Robert Wilson's Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds, an experimental performance group.[4]
Career
Initially, Berggruen worked with Robert Wilson as an actress before ultimately being motivated by her father to pursue her passion for the arts and painting. Her works are today regularly exhibited in galleries in New York, California and Berlin, Germany (Mutter Fourage Gallery). Berggruen currently resides and works in San Francisco and in the Southwest of France.[5]
