Artist Andy Goldsworthy said the color red is a central focus of his exhibition because it is the "result of iron in the earth, as in our blood — a reminder that earth flows through our veins as it does countries."


This July, San Francisco’s waterfront is staging the West Coast premiere of a monumental exhibition comprising 50 enormous flags.


The Gateway Pavilion at the Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture will serve as the home of “Andy Goldsworthy: Red Flags,” an exhibition by the British sculptor and photographer that was first shown in 2020 at Rockefeller Center in New York City.


It will be on view in The City through July 30, displaying flags that have been stained various shades of red with earth collected from every U.S. state.


“Red Flags” is being organized by the For-Site Foundation, an arts nonprofit that hosts installations at National Parks land. Goldsworthy’s exhibition coincides with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, on July 4.
