Three Dancing Figures, Keith Haring, 1989, San Francisco

Early yesterday in San Francisco, a gentleman in red rushes past Three Dancing Figures to join the entry queue at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. The lines were long because it was the opening of Bouquets to Art in the permanent galleries.

It seems that however early you think you are,
you are never as early as you ought to be.

Gallery 22: Girandole Mirror (1810) with floral arrangement by Sunshine Flowers and Constance Shrecengost

Look closely: Self portrait of Carto in the Girandole mirror.

Fresh flowers don’t last; you have only a few days to see this show at the De Young. This is a whole new way to appreciate the permanent collection.
