BIG NEWS! We are thrilled to announce that today SFMOMA has acquired Robert Arneson’s Portrait of George (Moscone), 1981.
This remarkable sculpture represents a turbulent moment in San Francisco’s political and social history. Following the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk in 1978, the noted Bay Area sculptor Robert Arneson was commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission to create a commemorative bust portrait of the mayor to be installed in the new Moscone Convention Center.
When first displayed to the public during the dedication of the Moscone Center on December 2, 1981, the provocative piece struck a nerve with the public and it was immediately the subject of controversy. Within days of the unveiling, the Arts Commission voted to reject the sculpture. Since that time, it has been in private hands and seen publicly only on occasion.
Thirty one years after it was made, we are at last able to share this artistic and cultural icon with the public and ensure its safe care in our collection.

Cool. Cool cool cool. I’ll have to swing by next time I’m in the City.
BOY. This film was amazing. So funny. And colorful. And heartfelt. Like Wes Anderson but without the privlege. Everyone needs to see it immediately, it’s at the Loft until tomorrow, then probably DVD.
