SFMOMA at 75, the collection and Luc Tuymans

From the SFMOMA permanent collection.

A little Henri Matisse still life.

Richard Diebenkorn figure painting.

Richter candle painting. they also had Lesende, a large abstract, a red mirror painting, and a painting I had never seen before called Reiseburo (Travel Agency).

Henry Wessel photograph. It is harder to tell from my photograph, but it is a man standing in front of a group of pigeons taking flight.

THE MAIN EVENT

Entering the Tuymans exhibition over the bridge.

Exiting the exhibition. Of course, they don’t allow photography in the exhibition, which is understandable as they don’t own the paintings or rights to the images. The exhibition was quite good. One painting I was hoping to see based on catalog wasn’t in this incarnation of the show, but otherwise a very strong showing.
