First stop, the home of Pamela Joyner where we were introduced to the most spectacular collection of African American artists. We were a great team headed by my wonderful ‘Lil Sis’ Yana Peel and Hans Ulrich Obrist. This was just the beginning
Then it was off to a home in Palo Alto where the host had video screens on his ceiling!
David Ireland House at 500 Capp Street was a lovely surprise, a special Mike Kelley show ‘Pushing and pulling, pulling and pushing’. A few edition photographs from the ‘Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstruction’ series, which are also in the Zabludowicz collection, were on show
Also this wonderful light taken from the Homestead in MOCAD
We had a beautiful lunch at CCA Wattis Institute and afterwards artist Rosha Yaghmai gave us a presentation of her weird and wonderful installation ‘Miraclegrow’
The installation reflects a distorted bathroom using found materials to represent a spider, with intense and interesting piping details. Fingers, ears and many other weird and wonderful things could be found if you looked carefully
We visited Altman Siegel Gallery where the artist Zarouhie Abdalian gave us an interesting presentation of her work
She looks at objects and perspective in a very obscure way
Jessica Silverman was a bundle of fun! We received a wonderful presentation by Woody De Othello, Davina Semo and Matthew Angelo Harrison
The highlight of the day was going to visit the new and wonderful SFMOMA, and viewing the Fisher Family gift. It is spectacular through and through. We sadly only had time to see the ‘Approaching American Abstraction’ show, works from the Doris and Donald Fisher Collection
A relaxing moment was visiting the home of Carla Emil where we could lounge around and admire the perfect architect and art. This painting is by Francis Picabia
Then a quick visit to Pier 24 to admire some to the photography
A rest with Antonia Gross in front of the Bay Bridge and then on our way to LA!
