The Dallas Museum of Art has been named by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as a certified cargo screening facility (CCSF), a federal designation that makes the process of shipping artwork by air much easier for the Museum. This makes the DMA one of very few museums in the country, and the second museum in Texas, to achieve this clearance level; others include the National Gallery of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art. The certification process, a year-and-a-half in the making, was overseen by the DMA’s Gabriela Truly, Director of Collections Management. The first certified shipment from the Museum is scheduled to take place with the closing of the touring exhibition The Lens of Impressionism.

In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexico’s state of Guerrero, large-scale mining can be dated to the sixteenth century, and silver is a way of life. In the years following the Mexican Revolution (1910-20), jewelry and other silver objects were crafted there with an entirely innovative approach, informed by modernism and the creation of a new Mexican national identity. Antonio Pineda was a member of the Taxco School and is recognized as a world-class designer. He lived a long and creative life, passing away at the age of 90 on December 14, 2009.
