New Work

Nicola Tyson, Red Self-Portrait, 1996; Collection SFMOMA

December 17, 1999 - March 01, 2000

The SFMOMA Painting and Sculpture Department is actively adding to its collection of paintings by emerging artists working locally, nationally, and internationally. This exhibition, presenting works acquired in the past three years through both purchases and gifts, marks the first public viewing at SFMOMA of many of these paintings. It is far from a complete selection of new works in the collection by younger or less-established artists, but it does provide a representative overview.
