Art Notes © STEVE MCCURRY, COURTESY STEVE MCCURRY STUDIOS, LLC I Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl, 1984, at Laura Rathe Fine Art ndelible Image: In 150-plus years of photojournalism, a handful of images fall under the label unforgettable. Among these is Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl, 1984, which originally graced the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic. See this storied photograph that documents the flight of a young Afghan refugee in the wake of the 1980s Soviet invasion, along with more of McCurry's compelling global portfolio (through June 22). Also available from the Robert Capa Gold Medal winner will be his 2009 Phaidon volume, The Unguarded Moment. Mad for Macrodons: Billy Zinser — toy-maker, sculptor, painter, creator of the über-inflatable Macrodon — is back for a return engagement at The Public Trust. This time, the Dallas-based mastermind considers the diminutive, so prepare for small-scale paintings, measuring 5-by-5 inches, which replicate the size of one of his desk-sized Macrodon sculptures. Attend the opening in conjunction with the second annual East Dallas Gallery Day Saturday, June 1, noon to 8 pm (Zinser reception 6 to 9 pm, exhibition through July 6; for more East Dallas dealer lineups, dallasgalleryday.com) … The Design District gallerists also get in on the action, rolling out their own day-to-evening art trek Saturday, July 29, noon to 8 pm (info dallasdesigndistrict. com) … For deets on who's new and gamechanging in Expo Park, The Cedars and the Design District, peruse page 16. Poignant and Presidential: At the Dallas Museum of Art, "Hotel Texas: An Art Exhibition for the President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy" showcases the masterworks installed at the president's suite, room 850, Hotel Texas (now the Hilton Fort Worth), where JFK and Jackie spent the final night before his fateful trip to Dallas. The surprising '60s-era hotel-room installation was curated by a tony group of local art collectors to showcase the riches in their town. For the first time since 1963, canvases, sculptures and works on paper by van Gogh, Franz Kline, Charles Russell and Marsden Hartley, as well as Thomas Eakin's great Swimming (1885) from the collection of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, are brought together from that installation, signifying the importance of art to the first couple as well as the citizens of Dallas-Fort Worth. Archival photographs, video and other materials never before shown offer an ode to Camelot's president and first lady on the 50-year anniversary of JFK's assassination (through September 15 at the DMA; traveling to the Amon Carter October 12, 2013 – January 12, 2014). Secrets of the Andes: Mid-month, the Kimbell Art Museum unfurls only the second exhibition ever about the ancient Andean civilization the Wari (circa 600 to 1000 AD and the predecessors to the Incans). Wari art and artifacts promise to wow and astound with their modernist affinities; as was the case with the Quilts of Gee's Bend, 20th-century New York painters weren't the first ones enamored of hard-edged geometric abstraction (June 16 – September 8). Then calendar this date: Wednesday, November 27, for the reveal of the Renzo Piano-designed new pavilion for the Kimbell — a big, big architecture story watched worldwide. Catherine D. Anspon NOT YOUR Grandfather's Clock Hublot, NorthPark Center, 469.232.9449; hublot.com It's about time: Hublot has opened a 1,000-square-foot black-marbled boutique at NorthPark Center, the ninth such destination in the States. The venerable Swiss watchmaker was the first to combine a precious metal case with a black rubber bracelet band in 2010; since then, the brand has continued to push the style and innovation envelope. An in-store holographic animation display gives aficionados a Bladerunner-esque glimpse at four of its signature collections: the Classic Fusion, Masterpiece, Big Bang and King Power. After a personal consultation in the VIP area, you'll be up to the minute when conversation turns to guillochés, ligne and tourbillons. Amanda Montgomery A NEW Hydration EQUATION Koa organic water, created by Dallas native Jonathan Rosenberg and Adam Louras, is something we can get behind. Best described as a water/juice hybrid, the beverage is fruit and vegetable juice that's been distilled, eliminating sugars, calories and carbs. The flavor and color are then removed, and what remains is a water alternative that's packed with vitamins B6, E and C, as well as potassium and zinc. $5 a bottle, at EatZi's, day spas, premium yoga and Pilates studios; koawater.com. Seth Vaughan MCQUEEN N ot many fashion labels have as profound an impact on the fashion world as the dramatic silhouettes of British designer Alexander McQueen. What other fashion house can design bumster trousers, igniting a low-rise pant trend worldwide; be the sole subject of an exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute ("Savage Beauty" is the Institute's best-attended exhibition to date); make skulls chic; and even design the wedding dress of the future Queen of England? Alexander McQueen and no other. This year, Neiman Marcus brings the drama and decadence of the house of McQueen, helmed by the talented designer Sarah Burton since McQueen's passing in 2010, to Dallas for the annual Crystal Charity Ball Best Dressed Fashion Show and Luncheon Thursday, September 12. There, the Fall/Winter 2013 collection will take over the runway, and the 10 Best Dressed honorees will model their chosen McQueen looks of Widows of Culloden collection, Spring/ the season. This Summer 2012 runway show follows on the Human chess game, Spring 2005 FOR THE DAY heels of McQueen's first Texas boutique, which opened last month in Highland Park Village. Will the runway show be fashion theater — as daring and unconventional as some of McQueen's most iconic shows? In Spring 1998, McQueen unleashed rain on the runway. The recreation of a shipwreck was the highlight of the Spring 2003 season, while Spring 2005 featured a human chess game. Or will Kate Moss make an appearance à la a life-size hologram, as she did in the Fall 2006 show, Widows of Culloden? Probably not, but the inspiration and influence of McQueen will certainly be felt in the room, as will that of Sarah Burton, who will be resting at home with her new twins.
