Art Review – PIXAR: 25 Years of Animation at the Oakland Museum of California

August 13th, 2010 § 0

After a worldwide tour that started in 2005 at New York’s MoMA, PIXAR: 25 Years of Animation recently returned home to the Bay Area at the Oakland Museum of California. This is a newly enhanced presentation from the original MoMA exhibit that includes all of the original art plus new additions from Pixar’s latest films: Ratatouille, WALL•E, Up, and Toy Story 3. It features approximately 600 works, of which OMCA’s senior curator René de Guzman proudly admits he has “about 600” favorites.

After reviewing the inspiring exhibition, I could not agree more with the curator. I was completely blown away. Check out my article on PIXAR: 25 Years of Animation on SF Station.
