the Menil Collection

The Menil Collection and the Dia Art Foundation have announced that next year they will host the first major U.S. exhibition of Greek-born artist Chryssa’s work since 1982.

Barbara Goot Gamson, a trustee for both The Menil Collection and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, has been appointed to serve on the President’s Advisory Committee on the Arts.

The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts has awarded a total of $4.1 million to 49 museums and arts organizations through its Fall 2021 grants. Houston nonprofits DiverseWorks, FotoFest, and The Menil Collection are among the recipients.  

Jessica Fuentes, William Sarradet, and Brandon Zech discuss anticipated upcoming exhibitions, including the Obama Portraits' trip to Houston, a solo exhibition of Wendy Red Star at SAMA, and a focus on female portraits at the Modern.
