Scott Richards Contemporary Art: Anna Halldin Maule - Persona.
Comment by AB: You might call Anna Halldin Maule's striking portrait paintings unreal realism. Often adorned with accents of name brand luxury, you know these haunting enchantresses don't actually exist, but at this moment they do. Pick of First Thursday and definitely worth a visit.

Stephen Wirtz Gallery: Closing Celebration.
Comment by AB: After more than 35 years in business, Stephen Wirtz Gallery will be no more. Once again, an unbearably burdensome rent increase is the cause. For this final time we celebrate one of San Francisco's most venerable galleries.
The last time we're ever gonna see this. Bye-bye Stephen Wirtz Gallery.
