W hile you may not be able to tour Dallas' celebrated private art collections — troves of often museum- promised or -exhibited work, owned by discreet Artnews Top 200 types — art seekers can bask in an important selection of these treasures this spring and summer. It's all thanks to the Green Family Art Foundation (just a stroll from the Nasher Sculpture Center), which welcomes the public. "Fields of Vision: Dallas Collects," curated by Sara Hignite of Hignite Projects, is the perfect show to unveil this month when international and national art-goers flock to town, with more than 40 works showcased. It pulls back the curtain on the holdings of The Rachofsky Collection (Tomoo Gokita), Cindy and Armond Schwartz (Lonnie Holley), Wendy and Jeremy Strick (Piero Golia), Annika and Dennis Cail (Jammie Holmes), Dan Patterson (Katharina Grosse), the Karpidas Family (Ewa Juszkiewicz), Craig and Kathryn Hall (Pedro Reyes), Dallas Art Fair's John and Marlene Sughrue (Gabriel Rico), Marlo and Jeff Melucci (Dallas-based painter Evita Tezeno), Mark Giambrone (Nasher Prize talent Theaster Gates), Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation (DMA-exhibited, Dallas-born artist/filmmaker Ja'Tovia Gary), and finally, Green Family Art Foundation (Nasher-exhibited Hugh Hayden). Through August 9, greenfamilyartfoundation.org. Catherine D. Anspon First Families of Dallas Collecting Mapping the Body at The Power Station Clockwise, all at Green Family Art Foundation: Ja'Tovia Gary, Citational Ethics (Saidiya Hartman, 2017), 2020.

Cindy Sherman, Untitled (Woman in Sundress), 2003, at The Power Station during his lifetime, then fell out of favor as he was neither Impressionist nor avant- garde. Recent scholarship, capped by this exhibition, returns him to his rightful place among the pantheon of 19th-/early-20th- century Spanish painters that includes his brother-in-law, Mariano Fortuny. Madrazo and Fortuny often took painting trips together; this exhibition underscores the latter's influence, particularly regarding the preciosista style. At the Meadows, you'll see more than 100 works, primarily portraits and genre scenes that span decades, explored thematically and chronologically. Included are several freshly discovered canvases and loans from approximately 60 national and international institutions and esteemed private collections, including Prado, The Met, and Musée d'Orsay. Through June 21, meadowsmuseumdallas. org. Catherine D. Anspon A l w a y s p ro v o c a t i v e i n i t s programming, The Power Station has devised a timely exhibition for Art Week 2026 that examines the fragmentation that marks our modern experience. "Body Fragment" proves that self-obsession with distraction and disintegration is hardly a contemporary problem. Featuring artworks spanning from antiquity to the present, the show juxtaposes classical sculptures with modern works from an all-star roster, including Kelly Akashi, Tracey Emin, Sean Landers, Sarah Lucas, and Cindy Sherman. Concurrently on view in the Station's annex and third floor is the 16th project COLLECTION THE CARL & MARILYNN THOMA FOUNDATION. © JA'TOVIA GARY. COURTESY PAULA COOPER GALLERY.
