T exas volleys a visual milestone in April, when Dallas Art Fair returns to Fashion Industry Gallery for its 15th edition featuring a roster of 90 international, national, and Texas galleries. Co-founded by visionary John Sughrue and led by longtime director Kelly Cornell, this influential boutique fair in the heart of the Dallas Arts District has come a long way from its fledgling arrival in 2009 during precarious financial times, mining one important entity that no other place in Texas has in such abundance: collectors. Dallas has eclipsed every other city in Texas as a 21st- century nexus for investigating and acquiring visual culture thanks to this fair. In April, expect big players arriving from 49 cities in 22 countries, beginning with global powerhouse Perrotin; unique internationals such as Mexico dealer Drexel Galería, London-based Josh Lilley, Italian export SECCI, and, in from Kyiv, Voloshyn Gallery, bravely focused upon Ukrainian TEXAS DESIGN WEEK HOUSTON!
