The Song Inside of Things is a new publication by California artist Helen Berggruen. Featuring oils on canvas and linen from her exhibition at Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco, in summer 2025, alongside other works made between 1994 and 2025, the book showcases a world where time is suspended, and people, objects and places flicker with restless vivacity. The book forms part of the Hurtwood Artist & Gallery Series.

With an insightful foreword by Berggruen Gallery’s Mary Kate Tankard, a detailed, extended essay by writer Craig Burnett, and a lively interview by Jeff Gunderson of the San Francisco Art Institute Legacy Foundation & Archive, the book illuminates Berggruen’s practice within a selection of forty-five of her most significant paintings.
