The Amon Carter Museum of American Art announces that it has acquired an important painting by Mary Cassatt, Woman Standing, Holding a Fan, created in 1878–79. The work is one of only two known canvases painted by the artist almost entirely in the medium of distemper and represents a key moment in her transformation into an Impressionist.

Today the Dallas Museum of Art announced the acquisition of the first life-sized marble figure executed by Anne Whitney, one of America’s premiere women sculptors working during the second half of the 19th century. This is the first work by Whitney to enter the DMA’s collection, and it is currently on view in the DMA’s fourth level Arts of the Americas gallery.
This month the Dallas Museum of Art celebrates the opening of its new second-floor European art galleries, which now allow visitors to experience the Museum’s collection in a series of small vignettes that more cohesively reflect the progression of European art across several centuries. The new galleries also enhance the Museum’s ability to place a greater number of works on view, and to present new acquisitions, selections from the DMA’s Decorative Arts collection, and important loans from local private collections.
The Kimbell Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas, has acquired the painting Christ and the Woman of Samaria, dated to 1619–20, by the Italian artist Guercino, one of the foremost painters of his time. The purchase was announced today by the Museum’s director, Eric M. Lee. The painting dates from Guercino’s early, rarest, and most desirable period, when the artist achieved acclaim for the emotional power of his compositions.
New Arrivals: Works from the Collection is an exhibition of recent acquisitions to the Museum’s permanent collection. New Arrivals highlights the important role the art patron plays in developing a Museum’s collection-either through an outright donation or partnering with the Museum in a purchase.
The Amon Carter Museum has acquired a rediscovered painting by American artist George de Forest Brush. The Potter, painted in 1889, had been in private hands since 1946, when it was sold from the collection of the Galveston financier William L. Moody III.
The Kimbell Art Museum has added to its collection an exquisite oil sketch by the British artist Richard Parkes Bonington (1802–1828), The Grand Canal, Venice, Looking Toward the Rialto, painted on the spot in 1826. Its purchase was announced today by the Kimbell’s director, Dr. Eric M. Lee.
Each year The El Paso Museum of Art hosts the Members’ Choice event during the month of December where Museum Members gather to vote on a selection of art works, choosing one to add to the permanent collection. Each year art work from a different genre (European, Mexican, or American) is selected for consideration. It is an event that the membership looks forward to each year.
The Dallas Museum of Art today announced the acquisition of a major large-scale sculpture, The Eye, by the celebrated Canadian artist David Altmejd. Among the artist’s most ambitious works to date, The Eye measures approximately 11 by 18 feet and is an imposing and mesmerizing structure of mirrored glass and wooden support that engulfs the viewer in a spectacular environment of fractured light and reflection. Acquired by the DMA through the DMA/amfAR Benefit Auction Fund made possible by Two by Two for AIDS and Art, the work is currently on view in the DMA’s exhibition Performance/Art through March 21, 2010.
