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.

‬October 9‭ – ‬November 1‭, ‬2025
By Erica Schmidt‭ | ‬Regional Premiere
A regional premiere by Erica Schmidt‭, ‬Adapted from William Shakespeare’s‭ ‬Macbeth
An exhilarating adaptation that revitalizes Shakespeare’s classic tragedy‭, ‬Mac Beth‭ ‬infuses the tale of ambition and madness with a vibrant‭, ‬contemporary energy‭. ‬After school‭, ‬seven teenage girls convene in an abandoned lot‭. ‬They drop their backpacks‭, ‬transform their uniforms‭, ‬and dive into a DIY retelling of Macbeth‭. ‬As the girls conjure‭ ‬kings‭, ‬warriors‭, ‬and witches‭, ‬Shakespeare’s bloody tale seeps into their reality‭. ‬Mac Beth‭ ‬recontextualizes a classic text to expose the ferocity of adolescence and the intoxicating power of collective fantasy‭.‬
Mac Beth’s‭ ‬setting amplifies the intensity and immediacy of the story‭, ‬creating an immersive experience that brings new dimensions to the‭ ‬classic narrative‭. ‬This thrilling adaptation‭, ‬that critics have lauded as‭ ‬“vividly reimagined”‭ ‬and‭ ‬“boldly innovative‭,‬”‭ ‬blends timeless drama with a contemporary twist‭, ‬and closes Circle’s 44th‭ ‬season with a captivating exploration of power‭, ‬ambition‭, ‬and identity‭. ‬
‭*‬contains adult language and situations‭*‬

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.
