Hasta La Ideas

Yves Behar continues to be unstoppable in 2010. Not only is he currently serving as an exhibition curator at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, now he’s also taken over at the SFMOMA directly across the street. Hot off the heals of that museum announcing they’ve selected the red hot Norwegian firm Snøhetta to design their new Fisher Wing, the SFMOMA has announced the induction of Behar as their new Artist Trustee. Along with that came the news that Robert Fisher has been named the Board’s president, he of the same Fishers who gave their whole modern art collection to the museum (we stopped by last Friday to check out the just-a-small-peek Fisher exhibition and it’s great, by the way). Venture capitalist Irwin Federman was the third to be named in the announcement as a new trustee. Here’s word from the Board Chair, Charles Schwab:

“These appointments come at a transformative time for SFMOMA. In response to the tremendous growth of the museum’s programming, collections, and audiences in recent years, SFMOMA is planning for an expansion that will triple the museum’s gallery and public spaces; support enhanced exhibitions, educational programs, and services for the public; and showcase the exceptional Doris and Donald Fisher Collection of modern and contemporary art,” says Schwab.
