A collaboration with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the show runs from late June to mid-September and spans 2,200 years. The 72 objects on display range from 18th century Chinese sculpture to Sally Mann’s controversial black-and-white images of her young children. Visitors aren’t expected to find every work alluring; the museum warns that its mission is to provoke the eye, not just please it.

He follows up two critically acclaimed albums with “_What Is This Heart?_” on June 24.
