## Exhibitions

### Rose B. Simpson: *LEXICON*

Aug 30, 2025 – Feb 7, 2027 · on view · Wilsey Court

Two cars customized with Pueblo pottery designs, parked in front of a large geometric wall design.

In 2014 Simpson, an artist from Santa Clara Pueblo, rebuilt a 1985 Chevy El Camino in a black-on-black Tewa pottery pattern and named it Maria, after the potter Maria Martinez. The show also debuts her second car, Bosque, a 1964 Buick Riviera painted in bright colors.

It is included in general admission.

### Nengi Omuku: *The Gathering*

Jun 27, 2026 – May 14, 2028 · on view · Galleries 40 + 50

The Nigerian painter’s first US solo museum show, pairing her paintings with African sculpture and textiles.

Omuku’s paintings imagine a better life for young Nigerians, with figures in forests, gardens and by the water, settings many people in Lagos rarely get to. She paints on sanyan, a handwoven Yoruba cloth traditionally worn on ceremonial occasions.

The paintings hang alongside sculptures and textiles from the museum’s arts of Africa collection.

### *Superficial Matters: Artists from the Svane Gift and Beyond*

Group exhibition · Aug 15, 2026 – Apr 11, 2027 · on view

Eight artists, among them Lorna Simpson, Ruby Neri and Stephanie Syjuco, take on surface, ornament and the way women are pictured.

Eight artists challenge the idea that surface is shallow, a judgment long tied to women, in the third show drawn from 42 works by Bay Area artists that the museums bought with a gift from the Svane Family Foundation.

Works include Lorna Simpson’s Wigs, lithographs on felt; Ruby Neri’s ceramic sculptures of women; Maria A. Guzmán Capron’s sculptures made from secondhand garments; Stephanie Syjuco’s restaged ethnographic photographs; and paintings by Christiane Lyons and Daisy May Sheff. Wesaam Al-Badry and Sunny A. Smith complete the eight.
