With the addition of the Fisher Collection from Gap founders Doris and Don Fisher, an expanded SFMOMA will become home to one of the world’s foremost contemporary art collections. How does an extraordinary partnership like this come about, and what does this mean for the museum’s collection? In addition to discussing the ways a museum collection is built, this special panel will share insight into the museum’s past collecting practices and future plans. Join this distinguished panel of art professionals as they look forward to the next decade of growth.
