“The exhibition embodies the D.I.Y. attitude of the Texas Panhandle and the unique aesthetic coming from Yellow City (Amarillo). It includes work by artists who have a relationship with Amarillo, some still living there and others who have moved on to other parts of the country. Focusing in part on the major works of art around Amarillo — Robert Smithson’s Amarillo Ramp, Ed Ruscha’s Standard Oil Station, the Ant Farm’s Cadillac Ranch, and the Dynamite Museum’s Sign Project — the exhibition demonstrates the creative environment that left its mark on these and subsequent Amarillo artists and draws attention to the thread that connects their diverse body of work. Following the theme of big art from small towns, this exhibition presents the idea of an unconventional art center, the goal to expose the greater Texas Panhandle community to new ways of thinking about art and highlighting the interesting aesthetics coming from the Yellow City.”
