Great things happen when extraordinary art is paired with fresh, new ideas, and the proof is in the exhibition that opens tomorrow. I am thrilled with the results of a partnership between the Cantor and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Flesh and Metal: Body and Machine in Early 20th-Century Art presents 70 masterworks from SFMOMA's collection. Come to the Cantor and see the works of Mondrian, Brancusi, Duchamp, and so many others. It is an exhibition you will want to experience again and again!
