Free for members with regular member ticket.
Members see it first and get in free! Enjoy advance viewing of Amy Sherald: American Sublime before it opens to the public. The largest and most comprehensive presentation of Amy Sherald’s work to date, American Sublime will bring together more than 45 paintings made from 2007 to the present — from her poetic early portraits to the incisive, moving figure paintings for which she is best known. Iconic portraits of Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor — arguably the most recognizable and impactful paintings made in the U.S. in the last 50 years — will be joined by early works never or rarely seen by the public and new works created specifically for the exhibition, on view for the first time. Another highlight of the exhibition is For Love, and for Country (2022), a landmark painting recently acquired by SFMOMA for its permanent collection.
This exhibition will also be open after-hours on Friday, November 15, as part of our annual Member Party! View the Member Party event page for more details.
