"Donald and Doris Fisher's collection of blue-chip contemporary art has been on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art since 2016, several years after the museum arranged a long-term loan-a 100-year-long one, to be exact-with the Fisher Art Foundation. Now, a decade after the initial installation, SFMOMA has announced an overhaul of the Fisher Collection galleries. The new presentation will open on April 18, 2026."
""Reimagined" is spread across four floors at the museum, which each floor having its own theme. The third floor will focus on playful, large-scale sculptures-and their related drawings and models-by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The fourth floor is broken into monographic galleries dedicated to 14 different artists featured in the Fisher collection, among them Philip Guston, Agnes Martin, and Roy Lichtenstein. The fifth floor will showcase work by three artists the Fishers collected in depth: Alexander Calder, Sol LeWitt, and Ellsworth Kelly."
SFMOMA will unveil a reimagined presentation of the Fisher Collection on April 18, 2026, featuring 250 artworks by 35 modern and contemporary artists. The reinstallation will occupy 60,000 square feet across four themed floors and was led by Ted Mann and Gamynne Guillotte. Donald and Doris Fisher began collecting soon after founding Gap, Inc. in 1969, and amassed significant holdings including works by Alexander Calder, Gerhard Richter, and Andy Warhol. Gallery groupings include large-scale sculptures and related materials by Oldenburg and van Bruggen, monographic rooms for 14 artists, focused displays for Calder, LeWitt, and Kelly, and galleries for artists addressing material and psychic legacies.
