ONGOING EXHIBITION
==================

SFMOMA's world-renowned photography collection includes pictures from the mid-1800s to the present. The current presentation includes a special selection of works by Bay Area photographer and San Francisco State University professor John Gutmann (1905-1998) on the centennial of his birth. A German-born artist who fled the Nazi regime for the United States in 1933, Gutmann intended his photographs as documents of the exotic American culture he saw around him, but they reflect his surrealist tendencies and poetic leanings, as well. Also on view are more than 50 recent acquisitions, pictures that have never been shown at SFMOMA.

Between Art and Life: The Contemporary Painting and Sculpture Collection

In 1959 Robert Rauschenberg said, "Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made. (I try to act in that gap between the two.)" This presentation of the SFMOMA collection is organized around this philosophy. With works from the last five decades, the exhibition emphasizes special concentrations within SFMOMA's contemporary holdings and includes works by Olafur Eliasson, Jenny Holzer, Jeff Koons, Julie Mehretu, Marilyn Minter, Chris Ofili, Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Doris Salcedo, Rachel Whiteread, and Christopher Wool. As part of the exhibition, an audio/video walk by artist Janet Cardiff is also available at the information desk in the Haas Atrium.

This broad survey ranges from well-known classics to works by emerging designers, highlighting the collection's strengths in experimental architecture, digital design, and Bay Area innovation. A selection of mid-century modern furnishings designed by Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, and Isamu Noguchi for American furniture manufacturer Herman Miller complements the exhibition Alexander Girard: Vibrant Modern.
