Weisel Family to the Fine Arts Museums of San FranciscoLines on the Horizon highlights Native American art from the collection of the Thomas W. Weisel Family. Spanning more than 1,000 years of artistic creativity, the exhibition will focus on the indigenous arts of the American Southwest, featuring 11th-century Mimbres ceramics alongside masterful classic Navajo weavings from the mid to late 19th century and 20th-century works by recognized artists such as the ceramicist Nampeyo of Hano Pueblo. Singular pieces from the Northwest Coast and the first Plains ledger drawings to enter the permanent collection will also be shown. The artworks, carefully chosen over 30 years of collecting, reflect an emerging sense that, through close visual and technical analysis, it may be possible to identify the styles of specific individuals who created these diverse works. Even if we may never know their names, we can still celebrate their works of art as expressions of personal and communal worldviews.This exhibition is made possible by a gift of the Thomas W. Weisel Family to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Major support is provided by the Phyllis C. Wattis Fund for Exhibitions.Entry to this exhibition is included in general admission to the museum.Adults $10, seniors 65+ $7, students with current ID $6, youths 6–17 $6, members and children 5 and under free.
