Join other women in the San Francisco Pomegranate community for a special evening of art, appetizers and delightful company. This unique exhibition will profile the experience, the legacies, and the different methodologies of postwar artists in both San Francisco and New York. The installation will consist of rare, museum-quality works by major American artists, such as as Josef Albers, Elmer Bischoff, Willem de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn, Helen Frankenthaler, Hans Hofmann, Franz Kline, Frank Lobdell, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, Manuel Neri, David Park, Wayne Thiebaud and Andy Warhol. The presentation will underline the context under which these important pieces have been created, highlighting the differences and similarities between painters both well-known and obscure. Notable works of Jewish artists will be covered and explained within the overall context of the America's postwar visual culture.
Belonging to the Pomegranate community connects each woman to others similarly committed to tzedakah.
A woman's individual gift of $1,800 or more to the 2007 Annual Campaign is required to attend. You may also invite a female guest who would enjoy the opportunity to be a part of this community.
