A major moment for Andy Goldsworthy in San Francisco!
Honored at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Gala at the @deyoungmuseum last month, Goldsworthy was recognized for a practice that has reshaped the language of site-responsive sculpture over the past five decades. In his remarks, he reflected on the city’s role in his work and acknowledged the collaborators who bring these ambitious projects into being.
@cheryllhaines introduced the award, reflecting on a 35-year relationship grounded in a shared commitment to site-responsive work and public experience.
For Olle is now on view at Haines Gallery.
Visit the exhibition before it closes on July 3.

FOR-SITE presents Vessels for Healing and Transmuting Grief, a new site-specific installation by Monica Canilao (@__moreferalthan__ ), opening May 29 at the Guardhouse at @fortmasoncenter .
Join us for the Public Opening Reception on Friday, May 29, 6–8 PM (remarks at 6:30 PM).
Free and open to the public. Link in bio for details.
Through a powerful constellation of reliquary altars, embellished found portraits, and site-responsive assemblage, Canilao transforms the former military guard station into a contemplative space for remembrance, ritual, and ancestral connection. She creates what she describes as a placeholder for the memories, rituals, and ancestral ties that existed before war and colonization. “We need mementos, regalia, and altars to hold our stories and tend to the memories that shape us,” Canilao reflects. Through this act of preservation and reverence, we ask ourselves—how do we honor those who came before us while carrying their histories forward… while working to become good future ancestors ourselves.

Two exhibitions open in parallel, each engaging the natural world as a site of memory, transformation, and time.
Once the Ocean Floor brings together works by John Chiara, Linda Connor, David Maisel, and Meghann Riepenhoff—artists who treat landscape as an active force, shaping and recording human presence through process and duration.
For Olle presents new work by Andy Goldsworthy, reflecting on loss and renewal through an intimate body of photographs and sculpture dedicated to Olle Lundberg.
On view May 8 – July 3, 2026
Join us at tomorrow Haines Gallery.

Haines presents #AndyGoldsworthy: For Olle, our 12th solo exhibition with the celebrated artist.
Opening reception: Friday, May 8, 5–7 PM
On view May 8 – July 3
Dedicated to Goldsworthy’s longtime friend and collaborator, architect Olle Lundberg, For Olle offers a quiet reflection on materiality and memory, loss and renewal.
The show debuts a new clay sculpture and photographs from Fallen Elm (2009–present), an ongoing series of ephemeral works made in relation to a single fallen tree near the artist’s home in Scotland—where time, weather, and careful intervention continue to transform the work.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, May 8, 5–7 PM

At the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco’s Annual Gala, Andy Goldsworthy was honored for a practice that continues to shape how we understand art in relation to place, time, and natural systems.
The evening brought together artists, institutions, and community, including @danielluriesf , @thomaspcampbell , Sako Fisher, and Becca Prowda.
Cheryl Haines introduced the award, reflecting on a 37-year relationship grounded in a shared commitment to site-responsive work and public experience.

In 2008, #AndyGoldsworthy completed his first of four permanent works in the Presidio of San Francisco—Spire, a vertical assembly of felled eucalyptus trunks that draws the forest floor upward into a singular, improbable form.
The work reflects Goldsworthy’s ongoing engagement with natural systems, material cycles, and the specific conditions of site—an approach that has shaped his practice over decades.
These images trace a longer history: from the making of Spire to earlier work in Tahoe in 1992, when #CherylHaines and the artist were already in close collaboration.
Goldsworthy will be honored at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco’s Annual Gala on April 16. In recognition of this occasion—and of a 37-year relationship with Andy Goldsworthy—FOR-SITE reflects on the making of Spire and an early collaboration in Tahoe.
In 2003, the de Young Museum invited #AndyGoldsworthy to create a permanent work for its newly reconstructed building. The resulting work, Drawn Stone (2005), disguises itself as a product of an earthquake, engaging with both the museum’s design and California’s tectonic topography.
Using the same Appleton Greenmore stone that surrounds the museum, Goldsworthy created a continuous crack running across its entryway courtyard. Along its path, the crack meets with and severs a series of large stone slabs that simultaneously function as outdoor seating for visitors.
“I wanted a crack that had a certain energy and movement to it, in contrast to the straight edges of the pavers,” Goldsworthy shared in a 2005 interview. “I’m enjoying the delicacy, the precision of this, the line. They’re qualities you don’t often associate with stone.”
Goldsworthy will be honored at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco’s Annual Gala on April 16. In recognition of this occasion—and of a 37-year relationship with Andy Goldsworthy—we’re reflecting on the making of Drawn Stone and his first-ever West Coast work: The California Project (1992) with #CherylHaines.
At @thebatterysf on Tuesday night, Cheryl Haines joined a conversation on why public art continues to matter.
She reflected on the significance of site in curatorial practice and the enduring value of art that remains free and accessible to the public.
“Public art is incredibly important because it allows a diversity of people to have a shared experience at no cost. It’s one of the most egalitarian and democratic things our culture has to offer.”
It was a spirited conversation between other panelists Alison Gass, Founding Director and Chief Curator of @icasanfrancisco , artist @catherine_wagner_studio , and Aliza Marks, CEO of @bigartloop moderated by Alison Arieff from the @sfchronicle .
👋 Only one week left to experience 𝟭-𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆 at #TheGuardhouse, at @fortmasoncenter .
Don’t miss the chance to see the installation before it closes on April 20, 2026.

#PublicArt
#EarthMonth is here—and #ClimateWeek is a reminder to get outside. 🌿
#Publicart has the power to bring us closer to the environments we move through every day. Works like those by @andygoldsworthyofficial in the @presidiosf invite us to slow down, look more closely, and notice the natural systems that often go unseen.
This Earth Month, take time to experience art in the landscape—where it lives, changes, and connects us more deeply to place.
