50 Artists: Jonn Herschend on Susan O’Malley

The thousands of artworks at SFMOMA offer countless opportunities to look closely and think deeply about some of the most amazing artists of our time. To celebrate both the artists on view in the newly expanded museum and the creative communities of the Bay Area, 50 Artists invites local artists and creative professionals to share how icons of modern and contemporary art matter to them. This week, Jonn Herschend dives into Susan O’Malley’s Advice from my 80-Year-Old Self (2015).

Herschend is a visual artist and filmmaker. He’s also cofounder and editor of experimental art publication THE THING Quarterly.
