Peter Saul’s "View of SF/Red Airplane," (1985) doesn’t land quietly. It’s loud, chaotic, and a kaleidoscope of color and movement — just how we like it. Featured in the di Rosa Collection and the inspirational image for our Expression Ball held at Minnesota Street Project, it captures everything we love: bold color, cultural critique, and a little irreverence. Sound familiar? We’re channeling that same fearless energy at the Expression Ball on June 28. Art should make a scene. Dress accordingly. #dirosaart #ArtAtdiRosa #contemporaryart #ExpressionBallSF (fb)
