In today's post, I'm presenting three announcements about Beauford that I recently found online.
SFMOMA announces major gift from the Pamela J. Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida Collection
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art announced a major gift of 31 paintings, sculptures and drawings by 20 American artists from the Pamela J. Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida Collection—celebrated for its intergenerational holdings of abstract art of the African diaspora. The addition of important historical works by Elizabeth Catlett, Beauford Delaney, Norman Lewis and Richard Mayhew, among many others, has inspired a reexamination of SFMOMA’s permanent collection and is having a transformative impact on its galleries.
