"THE DARKER SIDE OF PLAYLAND: Childhood Imagery from the Logan Collection"
2000-09-01 until 2001-01-02
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
San Francisco, CA, USA

Third in a series of presentations from the Kent and Vicki Logan Collection of contemporary art, this exhibition focuses on works that depict toys, cartoon characters and childhood fantasies observed from a child's perspective.

While many of the images in the exhibition are normally associated with childhood happiness, others implicate issues of violence in society and cultural identity. Artists represented in the exhibition include David Levinthal, Laurie Simmons, Shonagh Adelman and J.D. Beltran.
