Personal Views: Regarding Private Collections in San Diego

Culminating a year-long celebration of the Museum's 80th Anniversary, this diverse display features 25 of the finest private collections to be found in the San Diego area.

Personal Views represents a wide range of artistic practices, bringing together high-quality examples of African, Oceanic, Pre-Columbian, South Asian, Ancient Mediterranean, Old Master, European Modernist, American, and Latin American art, as well as an international selection of contemporary art.

The exhibition includes works by Rembrandt van Rijn, Georgia O'Keeffe, Claude Monet, Willem de Kooning, Frida Kahlo, and Nan Goldin—giving museum visitors an inside look into what otherwise might never be seen in a public setting. Personal Views reveals the sophisticated tastes of the many participating collectors from throughout San Diego County who have generously opened up their homes for museum visitors.

Personal Views: Regarding Private Collections in San Diego is organized by the San Diego Museum of Art. The exhibition is made possible by the generous support of the DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary, Northern Trust Bank, the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Program, and members of the San Diego Museum of Art. Further support for the associated catalogue was made possible by a generous donation from the African Arts Council of the San Diego Museum of Art.

Major support for the 80th Anniversary at SDMA is provided by Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Audrey S. Geisel, Wells Fargo Bank, Gordon Brodfuehrer, Mary H. Clark, the office of San Diego County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and the Docent Council of the San Diego Museum of Art.
