The Artistic Furniture of Charles Rohlfs
A protean artist, actor, and furniture-maker dedicated to the primacy of individual expression, Charles Rohlfs (1853–1936) called his unprecedented designs “artistic furniture.” His unusually inventive forms and imaginative carving combined many different influences, from the abstract naturalism of art nouveau styling to boldly direct forms characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement. This exhibition—the first major monograph of Rohlfs’ work—will present over forty pieces of his furniture and related objects. |

A Dream Come True: The Dallas Arts District
The Dallas Museum of Art opens up its archives to present a special exhibition celebrating the completion of the Arts District, which began just over 25 years ago when the DMA moved to Harwood Street from Fair Park. Archival images, ephemera, and media clips illustrating the establishment and growth of the Dallas Arts District will be on view this fall in the Museum’s first floor Concourse. The growth of the Museum—both in the size of the collections and in its expanded programming—will be presented chronologically, along with an Arts District “time line” showing the arrival of the other cultural institutions, culminating with the October opening of the Dallas Center for the Performing Arts. |

FOCUS: Gardar Eide Einarsson
Exhibit will feature the work of Gardar Eide Einarsson, who often explores the complex relationship between individuals and institutions, and the painful limits of transgressing society-imposed boundaries. Growing up in Oslo, Norway, which is widely regarded as one of the safest cities in the world, and then moving to New York two days before September 11, 2001, has given Einarsson a broad perspective on the notion of the institution and how it impacts our lives.

Edward S. Curtis: The North American Indian
In 1900, Edward S. Curtis undertook the momentous task of documenting American Indian cultures across the United States. Over the next 30 years, he took over 40,000 photographs and collected information about more than 80 tribes, ranging from the Inuit people of the far north to the Hopi people of the Southwest. The Amon Carter Museum will display a selection of works from this compelling new acquisition.

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.
