While we've got your attention, we're wondering a bit about the figurative snippets in the painting, their genesis or inspiration, as well as title reference. Who or what is Alice the Goon? Thanks for the correction and any thoughts on our query! Amy

However, I sure wish they would add more pieces from the great 50's/60's era here in SF. I just went to a talk on Bernice Bing, another great Asian-American woman painter who has just (almost) fallen through the cracks. I'm not adverse to the museum having more paintings by Diebenkorn, Park and Dischoff but there were many women painters who also deserve recognition.
