Over the summer I visited the Di Rosa. It is an amazing, exuberant collection of Northern California regional art. It's fascinating, really. The property has four major areas where the art is displayed; the gatehouse gallery (which showcases an artist), the sculpture meadow, the main gallery and the house. I wanted to live inside of the main gallery. There were so many interesting works of art that I only barely got to look at on the tour. The collection has works by such artists as Robert Arneson, Jay DeFeo, Peter Saul, Roy DeForest and Lynn Hershman Leeson. The Di Rosa is an experience, first and foremost. It's amazing to feel immersed in the art and immerse yourself in the mind of Di Rosa, in a way. I was so enraptured by the collection that I didn't get to take too many pictures, but here's a small taste.
