The adventure today was to visit SFMOMA (museum of modern art) to see the retrospective of the works of Ruth Asawa. Joanne and I left at 9, and were parked and ready to go in at 9:45, but the museum didn’t open until 10. We walked around the garden at the Yerba Buena center across the street to kill time.
The exhibit was excellent, they covered Asawa’s career from college days — intricate patterned calligraphic drawings and watercolors — through her major career, making these intricate woven wire hangings, and later life with other things.
Had a nice lunch in the MOMA cafe. Then we drove to Golden Gate Park because I had a notion to see the rhododendrons in the Rhododendron Dell. Every road in the park was solidly lined with parked cars but we lucked into a parking space along one of the roads. It was well past peak rhodie season but we had a nice walk anyway. Back home to CH by 2pm.
Did a guitar rehearsal of the full program for the Lee Center, it comes to just the half hour I wanted.
