Layered with a thoughtful curation of Spanish abstract paintings and sculptural work, the show spotlights over 40 works of art from the world-renowned Museo de Arte Abstracto Español. The visual story features works from over 30 artists from the 1960s and 1970s—including storied artists like Pablo Palazuelo, Antonio Saura, Eduardo Chillida and more. Running through June 18, Dallas marks the only location in the U.S. to feature the touring exhibition. Concurrently, the museum has announced another celebratory milestone—Amanda W. Dotseth, who has been appointed as the Linda P. and William A. Custard director of the Meadows Museum. Regarding the new exhibition, Dotseth shares, “This worldrenowned, intriguing collection has much to teach us about history, artistic process, collaboration and materiality, showing the great diversity of Spanish abstraction, from informalism to geometric abstract art.” 5900 Bishop Blvd., meadowsmuseumdallas.org
