Portraits and Other Likenesses from SFMOMA

This exhibition explores how portraiture has evolved from a form of personal identification to a genre as invested in fiction, subversion, stereotype, and fantasy as it is in the description of physical traits. Featuring more than 50 artworks ranging in date from the early 1930s to our own time, ‘Portraits and Other Likenesses from SFMOMA‘ demonstrates how artists interested in issues of identity have negotiated a vast array of European, African, and American visual-cultural forms to redefine what it means to make a portrait.
