Overview
- RM made an in‑person appearance and spoke at a private media preview on Sept. 29, describing the exhibition as his debut as a co‑curator and saying he was nervous about presenting a personal collection.
- SFMOMA will present the exhibition in early October and keep it on view through Feb. 7, 2027, with member previews scheduled the first days of October and public tickets available for the run.
- The show pairs roughly 140–142 works from RM’s collection with 36 pieces from SFMOMA for a total near 170–180 works, many of which will be shown in the United States for the first time.
- RM worked with SFMOMA co‑curators América Castillo and Hyoeun Kim, wrote bilingual wall texts, recorded an audio guide in Korean and English, curated an in‑gallery playlist, and signed exhibition walls.
- Galleries place modern and contemporary Korean artists such as Yun Hyong‑keun and Park Rae‑hyun alongside international figures like Mark Rothko and Matisse, and the museum is offering daily tickets, a $75 Encore Pass for unlimited entry, and a pop‑up store to manage strong public and fan interest.
