The Musée du Al, founded by Al Kreisel, has garnered attention for its inaugural show featuring works by artists who exhibited at the American Gallery or frequented Al's Bar. The collection includes 'Clavo' (1981), a pastel portrait of a Chicano youth by artist John Valadez. Critics have praised the exhibition, with Alissa Wilkinson giving it a Critic's Pick designation for its well-structured and meticulously researched content. This posthumous recognition highlights the lasting impact of Kreisel's vision for a unique art space that showcases diverse artistic voices.
