User Reviews for di Rosa Preserve

Rene Di Rosa's collection is absolutely incredible! It represents one mans life journey with an intimate connection with grass roots artists of the Bay Area. Spanning 50 years, his collection contains multiple pieces from a single artist produced over time, creating microcosims of their carreers. Though "modern" art often appears nothing more than paint splattered on paper, none of that is here. These pieces have powerful political, social, spiritual, and human messages (leave the kids home), produced through ingenuity and invention, stretching the boundaries of "tradition", but leaving no doubt that they are "ART". As a result of Mr. Di Rosa's nurturing many young artists over time, he has amassed a legacy everyone should see. If you love art, I promise you will be overwhelmed!
Pros: Never Crowded, A Good Value, Simply Beautiful
Cons: , Reservations Not Easy, Can Be Hard to Find

A marvelous experience covering the range and breadth of Bay Area art of the last 50 years. Delightful surroundings with both dairy cattle and vineyards; a fascinating tour.

This place has got it all. An excentric art collector. A house tour. Strange Rules. Local legend. It's definitely worth it. The art is modern: sculpture, huge outdoor installation pieces, paintings, talking birds on ladders (?), decorated cars, video, photography, floating cows, mixed media. If you like modern at all, you'll find pieces you enjoy. The di Rosa preserve is an experience I'll never forget.
