Founded in 1935, SFMOMA was the first museum on the West Coast devoted to modern and contemporary art. From the outset, the museum has championed the most innovative and challenging art of its time, and we continue to exhibit and collect work by both modern masters and younger, less-established artists.

Find moments of wonder in Graciela Iturbide's dreamlike photographs 📸

These are some of the images Iturbide caught on film during her years living in Juchitán de Zaragoza, Oaxaca, home to Indigenous Zapotec communities where women are at the center of social and public life.

Over time, and always with permission, Iturbide captured the extraordinary in the everyday with her camera. See how Iturbide's desire to honor and understand people and places unfolded over her 50+ year career.

"Graciela Iturbide: Between Two Worlds" is on view now.

The artist who changed the way RM experienced art.

RM first encountered Yun Hyong-keun's paintings at the 2019 Venice Biennale. At a time when life felt like it was moving at full speed, he felt compelled to slow down in front of Yun's work and found solace—it was a moment of connection that changed his relationship with art.

Yun Hyong-keun was a leading figure of Korea's 1970s Dansaekhwa movement, defined by abstract monochrome painting and repetitive, meditative mark-making. He layered ultramarine blue and burnt umber, diluted with turpentine, until the colors soaked deep into the canvas and appeared almost black.

Spend time with the artworks that have stayed with RM, including a breadth of Korean modern art rarely seen in the US. "RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me" opens October 3.

A single painting holds the story to this entire exhibition—that’s Kim Whanki’s “26-I-70 #141” ✨💙

In this clip from the audio guide for “RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me,” RM explains why he chose an artwork by Kim, a pioneering figure in Korean abstract painting, to open up the exhibition.
