Went to SFmoma last week.
The anniversary show was nice, the highlight for me is Barry Mcgees pimple installation

The photo exhibits they have running right now are amazing-Henri cartier bresson and "exposed"-voyeurism, surveillance, and the camera since 1870. Some raw street photography.

she said it was appraised by the restorer. he probably didn't want to admit to applying Behr to her 500k piece of art.

Not bad at all. It has several early 20-century styles paraphrased in it (probably unintentionally).
