On its 50th anniversary, the Kimbell Art Museum has acquired three artworks that demonstrate the institution’s dedication to collecting and exhibiting objects that speak to the transcendent power of art.
A new installation of selected African, Ancient American, Asian, and European artworks celebrating the depth and diversity of the museum’s permanent collection is now on view in the Louis I. Kahn Building.
We are proud to welcome this remarkable painting into our collection — the first work by an Austrian artist at the Kimbell — and to share it with the public for the first time in more than 50 years.
Anne Vallayer-Coster’s 1787 painting Still Life with Mackerelis among the most beautiful and innovative by one of the foremost still-life painters of eighteenth-century France.
"Still Life with a Bowl of Strawberries, Basket of Cherries, and Branch of Gooseberries" will be on public view for the first time in its history beginning November 18, 2022.
