One of Texas' most iconic dealers, Meredith Long, marks six decades as one of the grand champions of American art. This month, an exhibition celebrates the anniversary with some of the heroes of modern and contemporary art from the Meredith Long & Company stable, including Sarah Lamb, Stephen Hannock, and Rachel Hovnanian (who all created works for the occasion), and Kenneth Noland, alongside such 19th-century masters as landscape painter George Inness, a touchstone of the gallery.
