californias beloved di rosa art center is reborn with a love letter to incorrect art

Six years after announcing plans to deaccession its 1,600-work collection—the world's foremost trove of Post-war Northern California art—the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art has reopened in a new downtown San Francisco space. The inaugural exhibition, "Far Out: Northern California Art," features artists such as Enrique Chagoya, Peter Saul, Viola Frey, Roy De Forest, and Jay DeFeo, celebrating the radical, countercultural ethos of the region. The space, located at the Minnesota Street Project in Dogpatch, had been vacant since the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts closed in 2023. Curator Twyla Ruby reports that visitors have been emotionally moved by seeing the collection reunited.
