THE KIMBELL ART MUSEUM: FROM THE PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OF TEXAS: EUROPEAN ART, ANCIENT TO MODERN
This exhibit surveys the history of private art collecting in Texas from the oil boom days of Spindletop to the present day. The exhibition tells the stories of the men and women in the state who have collected European paintings and sculpture at the highest level. Many of the resulting collections might seem more at home in Paris, France, than Houston, Texas, or on an English country estate than a West Texas cattle ranch. The exhibition draws from the very best of these collections and totals over 100 works. Reflecting the Kimbell’s own collecting areas, the exhibition will focus on the art of Europe and the ancient Mediterranean from around 700 b.c. to the 1940s. More than 40 collectors will be represented, and among the artists to be featured are Guido Reni, Guercino, Rembrandt van Rijn, Thomas Gainsborough, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Piet Mondrian. Cost: $14 adults $12 students/seniors. For information: 817-332-8451 or www.kimbellart.org
