The Dallas International Art, Antique & Jewelry Show is apparently making a third go at a show in the Big D, this time at Market Hall. The new location is more central to the city, but may not have the same cachet of the Dallas Convention Center (site of the 2009 Show) or the newly [...]

“The Youthful Genius” – four paintings by John Singer Sargent from the Clark Art Institute, current exhibited at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, is mini-scaled show mixed with monumentality and intimacy. All painted by Sargent when he was aboard, between the age of 22 and 27, the artworks are extraordinary for painters of any age; yet [...]

The event, which drew visitors from as far away as Japan and Italy, was held at the Grapevine Convention Center near DFW airport. “It really was heart-warming [...]

The rain almost stopped on the opening night of the current 500X gallery exhibition. At least it didn’t dampen the young vibe that is so characteristic of galleries in Deep Ellum. The fact that both Scott Hilton and John Nicholas Hutchings are art teachers attracted so many students that the overhanging Bohemian atmosphere surely kept [...]

This weekend I spent a couple hours with four paintings by John Singer Sargent in a new exhibition at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. The four paintings were created when the artist was between the ages of 22 and 26, and represent a period of artistic development prior to the Amon Carter’s own [...]

If you’ve never been to antiques shows in Texas, when finally make it, you find they have their own look and do their own thing. Today might be the day to make the trip to Fort Worth for “the oldest antiques show in the west,” the Dolly Johnson Antiques and Art Show. The show was [...]

Once again the promise of art (and free wine) lured us out into the galleries of Dallas. Most are clustered in the design district, with 500x across town in Deep Ellum. With the latest hours, many from the other galleries also end the night there.

The Antique Elegance Show, formerly the Victorian Elegance Show in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, is a show of a different breed. Changing the name from Victorian to antique does not change the dandy nature of the show. If vintage clothing and jewelry have traditionally distanced some antiques dealers who strictly follow a thumb rule [...]

Looking through the Western Galleries at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, many visitors compare the work of Frederic Remington and Charlie Russell. Quite often the conclusion is something like Remington was a better painter, but Russell knew the frontier better. When making these assessments, for the most part we’re looking [...]

Duncan Phyfe: Master Cabinetmaker in New York—the first retrospective on Phyfe in 90 years was long over-due. It was postponed so long due to the financial situation that at one time I thought it would never materialize. The first retrospective show of Phyfe’s furniture, also at the Met, curated by Charles Over Cornelius in 1922, [...]
