Nam June Paik was ahead of his time: In 1974, visionary genre-leaping artist Nam June Paik coined the term "electronic superhighway." Nearly 50 years later, in a time unimaginable without the internet, SFMOMA is presenting Nam June Paik, his first-ever West Coast retrospective and the only U.S. venue for 200 spectacular works by the father of video art.    

May 8 – October 3, 2021
