San Francisco Museum of Art

One of the most important collections of contemporary art in the world is on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Doris and Donald Fisher collected this magnificent group of 160 paintings and sculptures and Mr. Fisher said, "he only wished that he had collected more."

We, the public, are the lucky recipients of their passions. Previously, the work could only be seen in their offices of THE GAP clothing stores. Through a partnership with this museum, it will be housed here for the next 100 years and beyond.
