OIL WELL You can own an oil well right here in the United States. Not only does it offer the prospect of US energy independence, it also has the potential to provide tremendous tax advantages.

Typically most of the joint venture drilling costs, called Intangible Drilling Costs (IDC), are deductible in the same tax year. Simply put, for every dollar of IDC invested, the investor receives one dollar of deduction. IDCs can make up roughly 85% of the total investment. Accredited Investors Only

BOUQUETS: FRENCH STILL-LIFE PAINTING FROM CHARDIN TO MATISSE OCTOBER 26, 2014 – FEBRUARY 8, 2015 THE FIRST MAJOR AMERICAN exhibition to consider the French floral still life across the 19th century premiered at the DMA in October 2014. Bouquets: French Still-Life Painting from Chardin to Matisse, co-organized by the DMA and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, showcases approximately 60 floral still lifes from painters such as Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Courbet, Henri Fantin-Latour, Édouard Manet, and Paul Cézanne to, highlight the well-established painting genre in France during the 1800s. SMALL WORLDS: EDOUARD VUILLARD AND THE INTIMATE ART OF THE NABIS NOVEMBER 21, 2014 – APRIL 19, 2015 SMALL WORLDS: EDOUARD VUILLARD AND THE INTIMATE ART OF THE NABIS explores works in the DMA’s collection created by Nabis artists, including Edouard Vuillard, Paul Bonnard, Maurice Denis, and Félix Vallotton.

school known as the Académie Julian. Calling themselves the Nabis, a Hebrew word meaning “prophets,” these young artists forged a new relationship to many of the same subjects that had fascinated the impressionists a generation before: the modern city, its streets and public spaces, and the status of the private self in relation to this public sphere. ROCK CRYSTAL EWER FROM THE KEIR COLLECTION MAY 27, 2014 – SEPTEMBER 27, 2015 THE CARVED ROCK crystal ewer from late 10th- to 11th-century Fatimid Egypt (969–1171), the first work of art from the rarely shown Keir Collection to arrive at the DMA, is considered one of the wonders of Islamic art. Rock crystal is a pure form of the silica mineral quartz, prized for its transparency and flawless structure. Used as a gemstone and in ornamental carvings, large crystals are rare. Only seven rock crystal ewers of this caliber from the entire medieval Islamic world are known, and this ewer is the only one of its type in the United States. Its style reflects that of a ewer inscribed with the name of the Fatimid Caliph al-Aziz (r. 975–996) in the treasury of the Basilica of San Marco in Venice. MODERN OPULENCE IN VIENNA: THE WITTGENSTEIN VITRINE NOVEMBER 15, 2014 – OCTOBER 18, 2015 IN DECEMBER 2013, the Dallas Museum of Art announced the acquisition of one of the most significant additions to its collection to date: an exceptional silver vitrine originally owned by the Wittgenstein family of Vienna and designed by Carl Otto Czeschka (1878–1960) of the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops). The Wittgenstein Vitrine stands over five feet tall and is made of solid silver encrusted with enamel, pearls, opals, moonstones, and other semiprecious stones. This masterpiece, unique in the production of the Werkstätte, is one of the most important objects of the 20th century, marking the apogee of ornamental richness in Viennese Secessionist art and

questioning the very direction of early modern design. Since its arrival in Dallas, the vitrine has been the subject of an intensive research and conservation program. The exhibition, Modern Opulence in Vienna: The Wittgenstein Vitrine, will reveal these results by exploring the conservation effort and charting the context and history of this masterwork’s design and fabrication, iconography, and provenance. The exhibition will also present new Carl Otto Czeschka, Wittgenstein Vitrine (for the 1908 Kunstschau), Silver, moonstone, opal, lapis lazuli, perspectives on mother-of-pearl, baroque pearls, onyx, ivory, enamel, glass, and ebony veneers, 66 1/4 x 24 x 12 5/8. designer Carl Otto Dallas Museum of Art, The Eugene and Margaret McDermott Art Fund, Inc.

ADD TO, TAKE AWAY: ARTISTRY AND INNOVATION IN AFRICAN TEXTILES NOVEMBER 8, 2014 – DECEMBER 6, 2015 “ADD TO” AND “TAKE AWAY” refer to basic techniques African textile artists use to decorate cloth. “Add to” techniques include embroidery and appliqué. “Take away” refers to the removal of threads from cloth to create intricate patterns. Decorated cloth is often a powerful expressive medium in African life, a kind of visual language that can be read by those familiar with it. This installation of cloths drawn primarily from the DMA’s collection explores these techniques as they have been – and still are –

practiced in Mali, Republic of Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Ethiopia. FORM/UNFORMED: DESIGN FROM 1960 TO THE PRESENT DECEMBER 19, 2010 – DECEMBER 31, 2015 INCLUDING OVER THIRTY works drawn largely from the Museum’s collection dating from the 1960s to the present, this exhibition reveals the transformation of ideology and forms that have shaped international design of the last half century. From the technological and formal ideals of modernism to the influence of the handmade object, the works reflect increasingly complex and vibrant relationships between concepts of function, aesthetics, and material expression. Featured are designs by Verner Panton, Frank Gehry, Aldo Rossi, Ettore Sottsass, Robert Venturi, Donald Judd, Zaha Hadid, Louise Campbell, and Fernando and Humberto Campana. BETWEEN ACTION AND THE UNKNOWN: THE ART OF KAZUO SHIRAGA AND SADAMASA MOTONAGA FEBRUARY 8 – JULY 19, 2015 BETWEEN ACTION AND THE UNKNOWN: THE ART OF KAZUO SHIRAGA AND SADAMASA MOTONAGA will examine the full arcs of the artists’ careers, from their early works to their 18-year engagement with the Gutai Art Association – the leading avant-garde

group of postwar Japanese artists – to their later masterworks created in the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s. Drawing from among the best collections in Japan, the exhibition will include paintings, drawings, photographs, films, small-scale sculpture, Gutai-related ephemera, and re-creations of outdoor installations – many of which have never been exhibited in the United States. Organized by the Dallas Museum of Art and the Japan Foundation in Tokyo, the exhibition highlights the experimental and innovative quality of Shiraga’s and Motonaga’s creative production through nearly 60 works of art and historical materials. FRANK BOWLING: MAP PAINTINGS FEBRUARY 20 – AUGUST 2, 2015 FRANK BOWLING: MAP PAINTINGS will highlight the DMA’s acquisition of its first painting by the seminal artist Frank Bowling, Marcia H Travels (1970), in an installation with three additional works from private collections from the artist’s influential “Map Paintings” series. Bowling, the Guyanese-born British painter widely celebrated for his contributions to the field of abstraction and his advocacy of black artists internationally, created a number of paintings in the 1970s, characterized by his use of world maps as organizational tools to explore color as its own subject – a recurring theme in his work. Frank Bowling: Map Paintings will explore the development of the series and Bowling’s influences as he forged his artistic path. The exhibition also marks the first time in nearly 45 years that these “Map Paintings” will be brought together since their debut at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1971. CONCENTRATIONS 58: CHOSIL KIL FEBRUARY 20 – AUGUST 8, 2015 IN HER FIRST U.S. museum solo show, London-based artist Chosil Kil continues her exploration of the liminal space between interior and exterior; material and immaterial; object and performance.

references to the artist’s own body, with works such as helium-filled balloons or canvases made of leather/lambskin purposefully hung at the artist’s height. These floating objects and wall works double as bodies in space that beckon to the viewer, insisting their presence be acknowledged. The artist is also keenly aware of how objects occupy and manipulate space and sound, playing with concepts of volume and resonance. For Concentrations 58: Chosil Kil, the artist will present a new site-specific installation in the DMA’s Stoffel Quadrant gallery including a group of new wall works. MICHAËL BORREMANS: AS SWEET AS IT GETS MARCH 15 – JULY 5, 2015 THE U.S. PREMIERE of the international traveling exhibition on the work of contemporary Belgian artist Michaël Borremans opens at the DMA in March 2015. Co-organized by the DMA and Center for Fine Arts, Brussels (BOZAR) and curated by Jeffrey Grove, the DMA’s Senior Curator of Special Projects & Research, Michaël Borremans: As sweet as it gets is the first to bring together the artist’s paintings, drawings, and films from over the last fourteen years in a single survey.

INCA: CONQUESTS OF THE ANDES/ LOS INCAS Y LAS CONQUISTAS DE LOS ANDES MAY 15 – NOVEMBER 15, 2015 INCA: CONQUESTS OF THE ANDES explores the dynamic nature of state expansion and imperial conquest on Andean visual arts. The Inca Empire developed through the 15th and early 16th centuries, encompassing the central Andes of South America. Before and after the Inca Empire, political expansions by local states or foreign empires continually transformed the Andean coast and highlands. The visual arts of these periods reflect the dynamism of such cultural convergence. The exhibition presents more than 70 works exclusively drawn from the DMA’s collection, many of which are on view for the first time. The Inca and their imperial impact are framed by pre-Inca cultures, such as the Wari (Huari), and the successive early Spanish colonial period. The exhibition reflects the traditional media of Andean visual arts, from ceramic and wood to gold, silver, feather, and textile objects. They convey the richness and dynamism of over 1,000 years of Andean cultural history. INTERNATIONAL POP OCTOBER 11, 2015 – JANUARY 17, 2016 INTERNATIONAL POP, ORGANIZED by the Walker Art Center, chronicles the global emergence of Pop in the 1960s and early 1970s. While previous exhibitions and prevailing scholarship have primarily focused on the dominance of Pop activity in New York and London during this time, this exhibition examines work from artists across the globe who were confronting many of the same radical developments, laying the foundation of the emergence of an art form that embraced figuration, media strategies, and mechanical processes with a new spirit of urgency and/or exuberance. This groundbreaking exhibition follows the trajectories of Pop and its critical points of contact

JACKSON POLLOCK: BLIND SPOTS NOVEMBER 15, 2015 – MARCH 20, 2016 IN NOVEMBER 2015, the Dallas Museum of Art will become the exclusive American venue for a new exhibition of works by Jackson Pollock, the first in over three decades to survey a phase of work known as his Black Pourings. Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots will illuminate this underexplored but pivotal part of the artist’s practice. The exhibition will explore the Pollock’s practice via a selection of paintings made between 1947 and 1949; these works will serve to contextualize the radical departure Jackson Pollock, Number 14, 1951, Oil on canvas. represented by the Black © The Pollock-Krasner Foundation Pourings, a series of black ARS, NY and DACS, London 2014 enamel and oil paintings that Pollock created between 1951 and 1953.

SIGHTINGS: ANNA-BELLA PAPP OCTOBER 14, 2014 – JANUARY 18, 2015 ANNA-BELLA PAPP makes exquisitely restrained works in unfired clay. Occupying tabletops or mounted to walls, the sculpted reliefs are intimate in scale yet suggest objects and spaces many times their scale. Many of the works recall low-relief architectural models or site plans for minimalist earthworks. They also call to mind modernist reliefs by artists as diverse as Jean Arp, Alberto Giacometti, and Ben Nicholson. Although relatively flat, the works are resolutely sculptural, often worked on both faces and even at times their edges. In this spare, rectangular format, subtle inflections and minor surface articulations take on surprising power. Papp harnesses this extraordinary economy of means to moving effect. Born in Romania in 1988 and currently living and working in Rome, Papp’s Sightings exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center will be the first museum presentation of her work in the United States.
