“Founded in 1935, SFMOMA was the first museum on the West Coast

devoted to modern and contemporary art. From the outset, the museum

has championed the most innovative and challenging art of its time, and

we continue to exhibit and collect work by both modern masters and

younger, less-established artists. By embracing the challenge of the new

and unexpected, we hope to encourage fresh ways of seeing, thinking,

and engaging with the world”

“SFMOMA was founded in 1935 under director Grace L. McCann Morley

as the San Francisco Museum of Art. For its first sixty years, the museum

occupied the fourth floor of the War Memorial Veterans Building on Van

Ness Avenue in the Civic Center. A gift of 36 artworks from Albert M.

Bender, including The Flower Carrier (1935) by Diego Rivera, established

the basis of the permanent collection. Bender donated more than 1,100

objects to SFMOMA during his lifetime and endowed the museum's first

purchase fund”

“The museum began its second year with an exhibition of works by

Henri Matisse. In this same year the museum established its

photography collection, becoming one of the first museums to recognize

photography as a fine art. SFMOMA held its first architecture

exhibition, entitled Telesis: Space for Living, in 1940. SFMOMA was

obliged to move to a temporary facility on Post Street in March 1945 to

make way for the United Nations Conference on International

Organization”

REFLECTION

Through this experience I have learned to appreciate modern art and what is has contributed to todays

society . SFMOMA is dedicated to making the art of our time a vital and meaningful part of public life.

For that reason they assemble unparalleled collections, create exhilarating exhibitions, and develop

engaging public programs. There museum includes many things such as modern art and multimedia

art. They include sculpture, photography , architecture design and media arts. Their museum is an

internationally recognized collection of modern and contemporary art that includes more than 29,000

works and continues to grow. The strong holdings in photography, painting and sculpture, architecture

and design, and media arts include key examples of Modernism as well as more recent works that

reflect a variety of artistic developments occurring regionally, nationally, and around the world.
