The Fisher Collection + SFMOMA

This morning SFMOMA announced the development of what looks to be one heck of a partnership with Gap Inc. founders Doris and Don Fisher:  One that will tuck their renowned collection—one of the world’s leading in contemporary art—neatly at home at our museum.

The Fisher Collection includes more than 1,100 works, by artists such as Alexander Calder, Chuck Close, Willem de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn, Anselm Kiefer, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra, Cy Twombly, and Andy Warhol.

    I would love to see preview images of some of the Fisher collection. It sounds amazing… any future images to be posted?

    Hi Stephanie,

    You can see a very few images here. We’ll see in coming weeks or months what we might be able to rotate through on the blog…

    You should check out YouTube – Donald Fisher and his art collection, where Kenneth Baker gets a tour of some of his collection, during D. Fishers attempt to build a Museum in the Presidio.
