Art World SF: Valentines Day, 2014

      The Deputy Mayor and the Minister of Eastern Culture and Religions attended an exhibition at the DeYoung Museum in SF.  The Bulgari Exhibit, which the Mayor visited months ago, was still drawing crowds who wanted to view some of the most prized pieces of jewelry ever made.  Good reviews were forth coming.   As an added bonus, the pair were able to preview the next major exhibit: the Art and Artistry of Georgia O'Keefe.   In a major exhibition, examples of her work highlighted her long career and long life.  Many of the works came from different periods of her life reflecting the different locations in  which she lived: New England, New Mexico, and California.
      After the show, the Deputy Mayor, the Mayor, and the Minister met in Sausalito for a nice lunch at Cibo on Bridgeway.  It was warm enough to sit outside(while the East Coast was getting hammered by heavy snow and ice, as reported by the Minister of Lain American Affairs in Washington,DC).  A smoked salmon panini with squash and ginger soup took the edge off the appetite.
