Description
Nona and Richard Barrett of Dallas gave more than 180 works from their outstanding private collection of contemporary Texas art to the permanent collections of the Dallas Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The Barretts’ gift, which will be displayed in this exhibition, represents artwork from the 1970s to the present, with the majority of the pieces dating from the 1980s and 90s. The gift of more than 180 paintings, drawings, photographs and sculpture adds the work of 31 artists to the Museum, 11 of them entirely new, including important works by Jesse Amado, Steve Dennie, David Gibson, Lucas Johnson, Sharon Kopriva, Michael Miller, Kermit Oliver, Al Souza, Dick Wray and Judy Youngblood, and a 1971 assemblage sculpture by a California artist with Texas connections, Ed Kienholz.
Curated by Charles Wylie, The Lupe Murchison Curator of Contemporary Art at the Dallas Museum of Art.
