The newly revamped San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is officially the jewel in the crown of San Francisco’s culture scene. On Friday, April 29, the reimagined institution hummed with VIP culture-seekers as they joined for a celebratory affair in anticipation of the museum’s grand reopening on May 14. Helmed by a team of lauded art world players (Norah Stone, Helen Schwab, Randi Fisher, Dolly Chammas, Alka Agrawal, Becca Prowda, Katie Paige, Gina Peterson and Lisa Pritzker), the SFMOMA Art Bash welcomed over 2,000 art enthusiasts, gallerists, museum directors and artists into the transformed space. Luminaries from across the country turned out for the celebration including performance artist and filmmaker Miranda July, philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad of The Broad museum in Downtown Los Angeles, director of New York’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation Richard Armstrong and S.F.-based contemporary artist Jim Campbell. Live art performances, music and film displays echoed throughout the museum’s newly expanded walls, as guests buzzed over the art scene’s most anticipated spectacle which is now the nation’s largest contemporary art museum.
