San Antonio

Now a new exhibition, Victorian Radicals: From the Pre-Raphaelites to the Arts & Crafts Movement, brings their masterworks and stories to the San Antonio Museum of Art (Oct. 11, 2019-Jan. 5, 2020).

The dream of Ruby City is coming true.

In James Gobel’s 2007 work Robert, we see a bearded and tattooed person—presumably named Robert—wearing a black Morrissey tee-shirt.

“I arrived with very big ideas,” Rich Aste says, as he surveys his first two years as Director of the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio.

The donated collection includes over 500 photographs, 75 of which will be on view Feb. 22 – May 12 in Capturing the Moment: Photographs from the Marie Brenner and Ernest Pomerantz Collection at SAMA alongside key works from the Museum’s existing photography collection.

“My biggest take away from last year was that I didn’t get to experience everything,” says Kathy Armstrong, executive director of Luminaria.

In Reclaimed, the current exhibition through Jan. 26, 2019 at Ruby City in San Antonio, the collection attempts to host a myriad of themes, visual relationships, and connections through a small sampling of works by nine prominent female artists.
