In celebration of the museum's 75th anniversary on 18 January 2010, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) will present two special exhibitions tracing the extraordinary growth and evolution of the collection and offering an in-depth look at SFMOMA's past, present, and future.
On view from 19 December 2009 to 16 May 2010, SFMOMA: 75 Years of Looking Forward focuses on SFMOMA's role in both the history and the future of modern and contemporary art through major acquisitions, groundbreaking exhibitions, and innovative public programming.
Beginning with the museum's founding in 1935 and continuing to the present day, SFMOMA: 75 Years of Looking Forward brings together nearly 250 works from the permanent collection, including painting, sculpture, media arts, photography, and architecture and design.
Also highlighted is the art of Bruce Conner, Sol LeWitt, and Robert Rauschenberg, whose early-career work was presciently collected by SFMOMA, making it particularly well represented in the collection today.
"San Francisco has long been a place of innovation, a place of revolution. And for 75 years, SFMOMA has been known for breaking new ground," said Director Neal Benezra. "Today the museum continues to take risks, to celebrate new directions in art, and to advance scholarship worldwide."
