The Warehouse Dallas Art Foundation (The Warehouse), a nonprofit art foundation, opens its inaugural exhibition today, February 15, 2025.
Last fall, Dallas-based art collectors and philanthropists Howard E. Rachofsky and Thomas Hartland-Mackie announced the formation of the jointly operated foundation. The organization will operate out of The Warehouse, located at 14105 Inwood Road, an 18,000-square-foot property with 16 galleries, which the Rachofskys opened in 2012 with co-founder and collector Vernon Faulconer.

The inaugural exhibition, Double Vision, showcases each collector’s unique vision while revealing some of the overlapping themes in the collections, such as monumentality. Howardena Pindell’s Untitled (Reflections), which was jointly acquired in 2024, serves as an anchor piece for the show. The 29-foot-long sculpture is a reinterpretation of Claude Monet’s Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas.

The show also features two significant room-filling installations, one by Elaine Cameron-Weir and another by Marguerite Humeau. Both works were highlights of the 2022 Venice Biennale prior to being acquired by the Labora and Rachofsky collections, respectively. Both The Rachofsky Collection and the Hartland & Mackie / Labora Collection have committed to collecting several artists in-depth, including Carroll Dunham, Wade Guyton, Marguerite Humeau, Calvin Marcus, and Dana Schutz.
In addition to the inaugural exhibition, the organization will present Francesca Mollett: Elsewhere, the third iteration of WAREHOUSE:01, an initiative of annual solo shows for emerging artists. Elsewhere presents nine abstract paintings by Francesca Mollett, which draw inspiration from various sources including literature and nature.
Double Vision and Francesca Mollett: Elsewhere will be on view through Saturday, June 28, 2025. Learn more about The Warehouse via the organization’s website.
