Members are invited to book tickets to preview Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art before it opens to the public. Each ticket includes entry to the exhibition as well as all permanent collection galleries at the Legion of Honor on the day of your visit.

Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021) became famous for his colorful paintings of American confections and buffets. Highlighting work from across the beloved artist’s six-decade career, this exhibition features Thiebaud’s inventive reinterpretations and direct copies of famous artworks, as well as objects from his personal art collection that inspired him. Approximately 60 quintessential works by Thiebaud — including paintings of people; still lives of cakes, tabletops, and other ordinary objects; cityscapes featuring soaring buildings; and mountain landscapes — offer an in-depth exploration of one of the most important and overlooked aspects of his creative practice: his passionate engagement with art history.
