View Photos: Change is good but thank goodness the lamb chops remained! This year’s San Francisco Fall Art and Antiques Show was all about change and for the better. The improved floor plan created secret passageways and sneak peaks for the exhibition goer. Attendees meandered through brightly-colored Farrow and Ball painted booths. The well-attended show had a fresh new look with vibrant contemporary art galleries mixed among the traditional and 20th century furniture dealers. Bravo SFFAAS 2016!
