Amon Carter Museum

Freedom Now: Tamarind Lithography Workshop

This exhibition of prints from the 1960s explores the international call for social and political justice and examines how a handful of artists addressed these themes through irony, satire, allegory, and stark realism. Showcasing seven artists who held fellowships at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles during the 1960s, the small exhibition from the Carter’s permanent collection includes works by American artists Leon Golub, James Strombotne, H. C. Westermann, and Spanish artist Rafael Canogar.

Kimbell Art Museum

From the Private Collections of Texas: European Art, Ancient to Modern

The Kimbell plays host to 100 of the most important European paintings and sculptures ever held in private collections in Texas. Most of them are works normally hidden from public view, ranging from glorious Impressionist paintings that once decorated ranchers’ homes in West Texas to gems of Renaissance and Baroque art owned by the great collectors of Dallas and Houston. Since first coming into wealth on a national scale in the 1920s, Texans have continued to assert a record of art collecting of the highest discernment. Over 40 collectors will be represented, and among the artists to be featured are Guercino, Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, and Mondrian.

Modern Art Museum Of Fort Worth

Andy Warhol: The Last Decade Andy Warhol:

The Last Decade is the first U.S. museum survey exhibition to explore the work that this seminal American artist produced during the final eight years of his life. Warhol entered a period of renewed vigor and enthusiasm in the 1980s that resulted in what was arguably the most productive period of his career. The exhibition includes approximately 55 works lent by private collections and institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Baltimore Museum of Art, and Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh. Along with an introduction to Warhol, it is divided into thematic sections based on significant Warhol series: abstract works; collaborations (featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat); black-and-white ads; works surrounding death and religion; self portraits; camouflage patterns; and a concluding section of the artist’s Last Supper series. The exhibition is organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum.
