My main objective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art was the Luc Tuymans retrospective in the soaring top-floor galleries. I will have to see the show again before I can start blasting out opinions about it, but my first impression was more favorable than the publicity images had led me to expect.

Then downstairs I revisited a few of my favorites in the beautifully rearranged sampling from the permanent collection marking the museum's 75th anniversary.
