SFMOMA Extends its Appreciation to The Charles Schwab Corporation, Lead Corporate Sponsor of The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde

SFMOMA is delighted to recognize The Charles Schwab Corporation as the lead corporate sponsor of the exhibition The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde, which reunites the collections of author Gertrude Stein, her brothers Leo and Michael, and Michael’s wife Sarah.

The exhibition features the Steins' remarkable collection of works by their friends Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, whose careers they fostered and whose work they collected in depth, as well as the work of contemporaries. The Charles Schwab Corporation's generous gift has allowed SFMOMA to present this extraordinary collection of works to our community, and for this SFMOMA is most grateful.

SFMOMA is Pleased to Once Again Partner with Target for the Yerba Buena Free Family Day

SFMOMA would like to acknowledge Target for their generous support of the upcoming Yerba Buena Free Family Day, which promises to be a wonderful community event that will feature free admission and family activities at SFMOMA and our neighbors: Contemporary Jewish Museum, Museum of the African Diaspora, Zeum, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. At SFMOMA, programming will be themed around "DRAWing Inspiration." Families will be invited to draw on their imaginations and make their mark at the museum as they sketch, scribble, and squiggle their way through the wonderful world of drawing.

Programs for families represent among the most important work undertaken by SFMOMA, and Target's partnership with the museum has enabled SFMOMA to provide highly satisfying family programs on-site and in the community. SFMOMA is honored to again merit the support of Target in 2011.

Art Auction 2011

More than 450 of SFMOMA's supporters came together on April 6 to bid on 90 artworks at the museum's Art Auction 2011. The event, organized by the Modern Art Council SFMOMA's fund-raising auxiliary, raised more than $2 million in support of the museum's exhibitions and education programs, making this the most successful auction in the museum's history.

SFMOMA thanks lead sponsor Bank of America and media sponsor San Francisco magazine, as well as the Modern Art Council, led by Jill Barnett; event co-chairs Ariane Maclean Trimuschat and Annie Robinson Woods; and all the sponsors, donors, trustees, staff, and volunteers whose contributions made the auction such an overwhelming success.
