- miniFremont, CA212,218 contributionsI went to the store area of the Chinse Cultural Center. They had some cute kids books for the upcoming Chinese New Years (Year of the Rat).
It was a quick visit this time as they were int he midst of setting up a new art exhibit. The new art collection willl be available to see February 8, 2020.Written January 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The gallery staff were pleasant and low key with no pressure to buy. We were allowed to simply enjoy the display. They said they frequently handle this type of material.Written July 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carey SDenver, CO299 contributionsWe have previously purchased from ZK’s sister gallery, Eden Fine Art (right next door), and have always enjoyed the variety of mediums exhibited. Our interest this time was focused on two Charles Fazzino pieces that we have seen at other galleries. The ‘owner’, Eric, and the gallery director, Fiona, we’re great to work with. Eric loves to chat, and worked with us on pricing for both pieces. After a second visit, we made a deal (shipping included). We are familiar with the pricing on these pieces by other galleries, and felt that Eric gave us a very fair price. If you’re on or near the wharf, stop by and enjoy the art. It’s not inexpensive; but rest assured, if you like something and are willing to do some negotiating, you’ll receive a very fair price with shipping included.Written October 19, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LankCabo San Lucas, Mexico147 contributionsSuper duper display of 🎶 musicology of the bay area. Which is pretty provincial and doesn't provide sufficient space for other national music such as blues, jazz, hip hop etc.Written October 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tuberose17 contributionsChristmas ideas .
Affordable. A little of traveling with your mind once you are at Xela!
Lovely atmosphere. Great selection of incense, palo santo etc. The jewelry is so different from what you see around.

I have enjoyed the events I've attended at the gallery. This was my second opening and in November I attended an artist talk on the works of Helen Frankenthaler, subject of their last show. The talk was led by two very knowledgeable scholars, and was very informative. The Frankenthaler paintings were beautiful and evocative.
This opening, like the previous one, was well-attended. The di Suvero and Alexander works are obviously not as important as the Frankenthalers, but were interesting on their own and in juxtaposition; the sculptures are abstract and the paintings are figurative.
In addition to the usual white wine and sparkling water, the gallery served vodka and some juices. In addition, the artists were in attendance. The facility itself is very impressive, an ultra modern space in a historic building. It's three floors are connected by a gorgeous glass and stainless steel staircase. (There is also an elevator.). I highly recommend a visit to Berggruen, especially because it's located across the street from SFMOMA and in between two other excellent galleries, Gagosian and Crown Point Press, which are also worth a stop.Written January 21, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- An0nyMsTucson, AZ1,594 contributionsI'd usually avoid an exhibition this small unless I'm really interested in what it covers. But this one, on the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus type design, was packed with examples, most from the early decades. It was fascinating. (It also helped that I could get in free through my membership with NARM, North American Reciprocal Museums.)
The entrance isn't marked. I've included a photo of it. The sign listing building tenants shows two different street addresses in (it seems) the same building. We were lucky that we met someone coming out of the building to tell us what to do. You might call ahead for directions.Written March 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The house and its contents are his greatest work of art. It is also a superb introduction to conceptual art in its many forms and styles.
Small group tours must be booked online. And the artist guides are great. Counter balance your trip to the incredible new and huge SFMOMA with a visit to this modest but fascinating house in the Mission District.Written November 2, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A local might find something they like here. I was offered the two leather sofas for $2,000.Written July 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- misopiso88Seattle, WA24,842 contributionsI was visiting SF for a few weeks and walked around the city to see many of the sites. Although I saw dozens of iconic landmarks, nothing was as stunning and memorable as the wild parrots flying around Telegraph Hill!
One generally associates parrots with the jungles of a tropical location, yet living in the middle of urban SF is a huge population of wild parrots. The parrot flock began in the early 90s when one pair of escaped cherry-headed conures (a small parrot species) quickly found an ecological niche on Telegraph Hill. They were joined by other escaped conures from around the city. After a couple generations of offspring, the flock had grown to over 200 wild parrots by 2005. Today, the parrots of Telegraph Hill can be spotted all over the city.
Worth the trek to Telegraph Hill to grab a glimpse. We saw a huge flock where the Greenwich Steps intersect with Montgomery Street.Written March 1, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
