Works by Yinka Shonibare, Eve Sussman | The Rufus Corporation, José Manuel Ballester and Thomas Struth to be displayed throughout Meadows’ permanent collection
This September, El Greco’s monumental masterpiece Pentecost will be installed at the Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University (SMU), marking the beginning of a multifaceted three-year partnership with the Prado Museum in Madrid. Pentecost will be on view at the Meadows Museum from Sept. 12, 2010 through Feb. 6, 2011. The presentation of the painting, which is on loan from the Prado, will coincide with the release of a book that includes new research about El Greco and the socio-cultural atmosphere of his time. Pentecost will serve as a focal point for the reimagining of the museum’s installation of its permanent collection, acting as a gateway between the Old Masters and the artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. In conjunction with this presentation, the Meadows has organized two companion exhibitions that explore the history of Spanish art and its contemporary influence. Together, the exhibitions and publications offer a renewed look at one of Spain’s greatest masters. …continue reading Meadows Museum Presents El Greco’s Masterwork Pentecost in a New Context

Amon Carter Museum

On display is a collection of Ansel Adams photographs created between the early-1930s and 1970s.
