The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are proud to announce the West Coast debut of Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love, celebrating the remarkable career and legacy of Black fashion designer Patrick Kelly (1954–1990). The exhibition, organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, arrives at the de Young museum to spotlight 80 of Kelly’s sophisticated and light-hearted designs. These fully accessorized ensembles are presented alongside footage from his groundbreaking fashion shows, revealing a designer’s enduring message of love – one that boldly asserted Black empowerment and fearlessly pushed the bounds of fashion. “I want my clothes to make you smile” – Patrick Kelly. “The de Young museum has always been committed to showcasing the world’s finest fashion designers, and we could not be more delighted to present Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love to our audiences,” said Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “Kelly was a trailblazing artist who created an extraordinary array of designs during his lifetime. Everyone should know the name “Patrick Kelly” and we hope this exhibition does just that.” Inquire about a number of interesting lectures and presentations in conjunction with this very exciting exhibit.

The Victorian Papered Wall: Online Exhibit at SFO

October 09, 2021 – August 21, 2022

While the pandemic hibernation inspired you to indulge in home decoration, get inspired by the beautiful online exhibit of the Victorian Papered Wall at the San Francisco International Airport • International Terminal Main Hall Museum. Leading designers, including Christian Herter (1839–83), Louis C. Tiffany (1848–1933), and William Morris (1834–96) all designed wallpapers during these decades. This exhibition celebrates Bradbury & Bradbury Art Wallpapers’ roots with six sumptuous Victorian-era room sets that feature both wall and elaborate ceiling papers. At their studio in Benicia, California, they hand silkscreened hundreds of historic designs using oil-based paints with a small, dedicated staff of employees. Their most complex paper, St. James, requires seventeen individually applied colors. From its inception, wallpaper imitated luxurious materials, providing a more affordable alternative to tapestries, fabrics, mural paintings, and architectural elements. Crafted in repeating rolls and pasted to walls, this decorative art has an ephemeral quality unlike any other. Wallpaper reflects the design styles popular at the time, and in the late nineteenth century during the Victorian Era (1837–1901), walls richly came to life. Even if your taste in decorating reflects a more modern outlook, enjoy your homebound time of learning about the fascinating history of the Victorian Papered Wall art.
