The Amazing Art of John Berkey
​
If you've seen movie posters for King Kong, Star Wars and the Towering Inferno, or U.S. postage stamps of Santa Claus Christmas in 1983 and 1991, you've seen some of the work of artist John Berkey.
By the time he was inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 2004, Berkey was called the most innovative and influential futurist painter of his time.
His art is now exhibited and for sale on the second floor of the museum. Also on display is the calligraphy of his wife, Damaris. Berkey was born in South Dakota but lived most of his life in Excelsior, Minnesota. Their son, John J. Berkey, is a Dassel resident and design engineer for RSI, Inc.
