SFMOMA Opens Art of Noise May 4

Art of Noise • SFMOMA • May 4 – August 18, 2024
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
151 Third Street • San Francisco, CA 94103

Art of Noise at SFMOMA is a multi-sensory love song to the designers who devote their artistic vision to music. 

Music is a part of our daily lives. By contemplating how music is amplified by art — the design of album covers and concert posters — SFMOMA’s upcoming exhibition Art of Noise shows us how profoundly this art has shaped our experience of the rhythms and melodies we listened to for over 100 years.

A floor-to-ceiling “temple” of music design — including many hundreds of San Francisco’s psychedelic rock posters — will feature rock poster artists and legendary bands of every description. Mid-century modern album covers, as well as hip-hop, punk, and rave flyers complete this expansive display of incredible color and creativity.

Art of Noise is not to be missed by any fan of art and music! This massive exhibition celebrates the icons of concert posters including Victor Moscoso, Wes Wilson, Chuck Sperry, David Singer, Lee Conklin, Bonnie MacLean, Milton Glaser and many others.
