A show focused on music, and most of it is posters. There are two huge walls floor to ceiling with posters from 60s SF, one wall of Blue Note and and some other album covers, and two walls of some newer and/or larger posters. Some jukeboxes and other things in another room, but people were pretty close together in there so we skipped it.
Also it was free admission day on Saturday. Yes!
A lot of the SF posters are great but I think it might have been better if they narrowed down the selection a bit so they were all closer to eye level, or just put the best ones at that level. Nevertheless, it did look great with so many of them, and it is amazing that so much art was being made on a weekly basis for those shows.
I'd say recommended, at least to DM and TG. I have to say though, most of the Fisher collection in the upstairs galleries is not to my taste at all, and I say skip it, especially if you're short on time.
AND - there's another show up of art from Creative Growth in Oakland (an art-based facility for developmentally disabled people). Some of that stuff is fun, and some really good - there's a guy who does kind of an Abstract Expressionist thing with marks all over the surface and one of them was fantastic. Incidentally, we have a piece at home by one of the artists in the show, and I think ours is better than the one in the show.
