The Kimbell Art Museum will be the only venue to showcase the first-ever loan of the renowned 20th-century collection from The Art Institute of Chicago. The Age of Picasso and Matisse: Modern Masters from The Art Institute of Chicago will be on view Oct. 6, 2013, to Feb. 4, 2014, during which time the Kimbell's highly anticipated Renzo Piano Pavilion is scheduled to open. The Art Institute of Chicago holds one of the greatest collections of modern European art in the world.
Nearly 100 works by artists including Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Vasily Kandinsky, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Joan Miró and Marcel Duchamp, among others, will travel to Fort Worth as beautiful examples of European modernism. "The chance to see some of the 20th century's greatest masterpieces in one of its most beautiful buildings will be a profoundly moving experience––for us at the Kimbell and for all of our visitors," said George T. M. Shackelford, deputy director of the Kimbell Art Museum, in a news release.
