David-Jeremiah: The Fire This Time
2025-08-16 - 2025-11-22 | Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth presents David-Jeremiah: The Fire This Time, organized by Guest Curator Christopher Blay.
The body of work on view in this exhibition is a group of vertical assemblages of black and other polychromatic paintings on shaped wood that form an installation. The twenty-eight works stand over ten feet tall. This primary configuration surrounds viewers completely.
Fire is a major motif in David-Jeremiah’s work. Figuratively, fire is the crucible through which the artist has passed. For his practice, David-Jeremiah conceived of binders full of work, operating in a conceptual space that defies any self-imposed rules made from the comfort of most artists’ studios. Birthing new modes of self-reflective determination and urgency, David-Jeremiah brings the fire this time, incinerating what has come before to propose something new. His maximalist approach to art-making feeds the flames and its towering paintings. This is a purifying, refining fire—a disruptive, controlled burn that course-corrects the trajectory of conceptualism. It is fire.
In his artistic practice, David-Jeremiah engages with the ritualistic context of fire and flame. Whether it is in his 2019 painting Hamborghini Rally: Soul Hunt City (‘68 Semipro), or the last in the series of his I Drive Thee tondo paintings manifesting its soul over the flames of an incinerator for a succession of urns in L’Anima, 2023 (part of his 2024‒25 exhibition at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts), the flames are there. In the presentation at the Modern, his paintings-as-figures bask in the glow of embers that we, the viewers, create. David-Jeremiah’s work resides at the edge of the fire, and we see our faces and selves reflected back in the flickering flames.

American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection
2025-09-07 - 2026-01-25 | Amon Carter Museum of American Art, 3501 Camp Bowie Blvd., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
In September 2025, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (the Carter) will present the first exhibition dedicated to the collection of businessman, philanthropist, and Texas native Charles Butt. Bringing together over seventy-five works, American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection, presents and recontextualizes the multifold histories of American art by sharing Butt’s vision of American creativity and opening his collection to the public for the first time. American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection premieres at the Carter on September 7, 2025 where it will be on view through January 25, 2026 as the first stop on a multi-city tour at institutions throughout Texas. The exhibition includes paintings and works on paper from the turn of the twentieth century through the end of the 1970s and features works by American modernist icons including Romare Bearden, Edward Hopper, Joan Mitchell, Alice Neel, Georgia O’Keeffe, Alma Thomas, and Andrew Wyeth, among others, many of which have never been publicly viewed. Reflecting Butt’s commitment to education and his keen entrepreneurial eye, his collection embodies a distinctly American commitment to technical, conceptual, and aesthetic innovation.

Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection
2025-09-14 - 2026-01-25 | Kimbell Art Museum, Kimbell Art Museum, Camp Bowie Boulevard, Fort Worth, TX, USA, Fort Worth, TX, United States
The Torlonia Foundation is the world’s most important private collection of ancient Roman sculpture. Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection will bring the greatest of these works to the United States for the first time, including superb portrait busts, large-scale figures of gods and goddesses, magnificent sarcophagi, and other relief carvings.
The “collection of collections”—encompassing three centuries of antiquities heritage and comprising over six hundred works—was once displayed at the Torlonia Museum in Rome. The museum closed at the onset of World War II, leaving these masterpieces largely unseen by the public until 2020.
The North American presentation will feature 58 highlights from the Torlonia Collection, including 24 newly restored works that have not been on view in nearly a century. Both intimate and monumental, the sculptures range in date from approximately the 5th century BC to the 2nd century AD, with the majority of the works dating to the High Imperial period of the 1st to 2nd centuries AD, the height of ancient Roman artistic innovation.
The works of the Torlonia Collection have been carefully studied and preserved by the Torlonia Foundation thanks to the support of Bvlgari in the Laboratori Torlonia. The Torlonia Foundation articulated program is made possible by the support of Chiomenti.
Co-organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and the Torlonia Foundation, in collaboration with the Kimbell Art Museum, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and The Museum Box, Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection offers an unprecedented opportunity for American audiences to experience one of the most significant collections of ancient Roman sculpture ever assembled.

Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting
2025-10-12 - 2026-01-18 | Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
Organized by the National Portrait Gallery, London, and Senior Curator of Contemporary Collections, Sarah Howgate, Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting is the first major museum exhibition in the US dedicated to the work of one of the world’s foremost figure painters. The exhibition will be overseen at the Modern by Chief Curator Andrea Karnes. Saville rose to prominence in the early 1990s, following her acclaimed degree show at the Glasgow School of Art. In the years since, she has played a leading role in the reinvigoration of figurative painting—a genre that she continues to test the limits of to this day. Her unique ability to create visceral portraits from thick layers of paint reveals an artist with a deep passion for the process itself, an act that she experiences as both energetic and bodily.
Bringing together fifty works made throughout the artist’s career, this exhibition traces the development of her practice from the 1990s to today, spotlighting key artworks from her career while exploring her lasting connection to art history. From charcoal drawings to large-scale oil paintings of the human form, this broadly chronological display includes works that question the conventional and historical notions of female beauty. The exhibition also highlights the monumental nudes that launched Saville to acclaim in 1992 and new ‘portraits’ made for the twenty-first century. Rendered in fluorescent, saturated tones, this pioneering series interrogates the connections between the physical and virtual in our image-saturated age.
Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting was created in close collaboration with the artist, and includes works borrowed from important public and private collections around the world. The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive publication, with texts from Emanuele Coccia, Dr Nicholas Cullinan, John Elderfield, Roxane Gay, and Karnes, and a conversation between Saville and Howgate.
