Did you know some of the most influential art of the 20th century was made right here in San Francisco? So we’re dedicating an entire exhibition to it!
Announcing “Made in San Francisco,” an exhibition that reveals how the city became a launchpad for for new artists and art styles in the post–World War II period (1945–1969) and examines the rich legacy of the California School of Fine Arts (later the San Francisco Art Institute).
From Abstract Expressionism and Bay Area Figuration to Beat, Funk, and assemblage art, more than 100 works by over 70 artists tell the story of how San Francisco shaped a generation of artists, and how that generation shaped the art world.
Featuring works by Joan Brown, Bruce Conner, Imogen Cunningham, Jay DeFeo, Richard Diebenkorn, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and many more.
“Made in San Francisco” will be on view at the de Young from April 10 to October 24, 2027, as part of the Further Triennial. Tap the link below for more info!
