The artworks in this gallery showcase the deep desire among athletes (and artists) to participate in games that prove — to rivals and spectators, coaches and family members, and the participants themselves — that they are worthy of the task at hand. In the game, players discover that the hours spent practicing with heads bent, in a crouch, or cradling a ball, yield a grace and beauty that only surfaces when tested. And sometimes the sociopolitical context in which one performs makes it even harder. In this exhibition, the physical, mental, emotional, and political resilience required to play is made visible. When Indigenous, Black, or women athletes refuse to give up, especially when they were historically excluded, their presence in the contest changes it. They make the game wider, deeper, and more meaningful. They make a beautiful game even more beautiful.

Major international competitions where athletes compete as members of a national team are highly anticipated and widely watched media events. Such tournaments find participants facing their fiercest competitors, and often befriending them. Host cities invest in building state-of-the-art arenas, transportation, and hospitality to increase tourism. Nations finance research and development of performance sports gear, like the racing wheelchair and hydrofoil sailboat on view here, which in turn influence the sporting goods made available to the public. Given the global attention, many athletes take the opportunity to surface inequities they have encountered for broader perspectives and debate. In addition to showcasing the highest level of performance, international games spur innovations in design and urban planning, and significant discussions that influence broader social progress.

With work that exudes cool elegance and unconventional sensuality, Tamara de Lempicka (1894-1980) helped define Art Deco. Her paintings captured the glamour and energy of postwar Paris and the cosmopolitan glamour of Hollywood celebrity. This exhibition, the first major museum retrospective of Lempicka in the United States, explores the artist's unique style and eclectic life through four main chapters. The more than 100 works on display include her post-Cubist works from 1920s Paris, her most famous nudes and portraits, and melancholic still lifes and interiors from her last days in the United States and Mexico. The exhibition offers an in-depth look at the artist's drawings and research, revealing the creative process behind her iconic paintings.

Fae Myenne Ng’s Orphan Bachelors is an extraordinary memoir of her beloved San Francisco’s Chinatown and of a family building a life in a country bent on their exclusion. Orphan Bachelors weaves together the history of one family, lucky to exist and nevertheless doomed; an elegy for brothers estranged and for elders lost; and insights into writing between languages and teaching between generations. It also features Cantonese profanity, snakes that cure fear and opium that conquers sorrow, and a seemingly immortal creep of tortoises. In this powerful remembrance, Fae Myenne Ng gives voice to her valiant ancestors, her bold and ruthless Orphan Bachelors, and her own inner self, howling in Cantonese, impossible to translate but determined to be heard. Join this in-depth conversation with fellow author May-lee Chai, as they discuss the history of orphan bachelors, Chinatown as inspiration, and more. Admission is free. RSVP is requested. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ng is a first-gneration Chinese American novelist, and short story writer, born and raised in San Francisco.
