The Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO, cordially invite you to the exhibition premiere and reception celebrating American Beauty: The Osher Collection of American Art.

About the exhibition

American Beauty: The Osher Collection of American Art celebrates one of the most transformative gifts of art in the history of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Anchored by the works of Impressionist and Realist masters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the collection of Bernard and Barbro Osher describes the dynamic and complicated ways in which American art was shaped both by its international influences and by its regional character.
