On Saturday, May 25, the Grace Hudson Museum will organize a bus trip to the de Young Museum in San Francisco, to view three special exhibitions as well as the core galleries.
The exhibits include:
"Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style." This major show is the first presentation of the de Young's clothing collection in over 35 years. From high fashion and haute couture to avant garde, the designs on view reflect San Francisco's long-standing tradition of self-expression through fashion.
"Irving Penn" showcases the fashion, portraiture, and documentary photography of one of America's most important photographers. As Vogue's longest-standing contributor, Penn revolutionized fashion photography during the course of his 70-year career. A special section of images from San Francisco's Summer of Love and other Northern California images are featured.
"Japanese Prints in Transition: From the Floating World to the Modern World" marks the shift in society and culture during the Meiji era (1868-1912). It features the printwork of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, whose distinctive, sometimes eccentric, images serve as a link between the era of feudal military rule and that of modernization.
Tickets are $100 and include round-trip transportation from Ukiah and de Young Museum admission fees. Participants can bring a lunch, or dine in the de Young's excellent café. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended. To purchase tickets, go to the museum's website at www.gracehudsonmuseum.org and to the Events page to find a registration link, or call the museum at (707) 467-2836.
