More on SFMOMA

Tyler Green has posted more of his notes on his recent SFMOMA exhibit. I generally agree with him (as I have noted earlier - especially on Thiebaud), but he is understating when he says that SFMOMA is not strong on Picasso. I also must question his take on Deborah Luster. I was underimpressed to say the least.

He is quite correct on praising the Bay Area room with its two Parks, two Diebenkorns and outstanding Joan Brown sculpture. Those who know me know that I think Brown to be one of the most overrated artists in the Bay Area. I thought that she was fine until I saw her monumental retrospective a few years back and realized that in the end she is a minor painter (it is funny how many retrospectives have totally changed my view of painters: Keith Haring is one I thought very little of until I saw his retrospective, ditto David Ireland).

Now, could someone tell me why Jay DeFeo's Incision is up in the Fifth Floor Hall of Silliness instead of down in the Bay Area room?
