SWOON

On view through August 11

 Caledonia Curry, whose work appears under the name Swoon, is a Brooklyn-based artist and is widely known as the first woman to gain large-scale recognition in the male-dominated world of street art. Callie took to the streets of New York while attending the Pratt Institute of Art in 1999, pasting her paper portraits to the sides of buildings with the goal of making art and the public space of the city more accessible.

THE COLLECTION OF DR. & MRS. WILLIAM T. PRICE

ONGOING

The Amarillo Museum of Art’s Asian art collection has grown dramatically over the past 10 years through the generosity of Dr. and Mrs. William T. Price of Amarillo. Their donations of art objects have and will spark a variety of significant exhibitions, introducing Asian art and culture to the Texas Panhandle community and to visitors near and far.

Over the past 50 years, Dr. and Mrs. Price have collected sculpture, prints, paintings, textiles and decorative arts from South/Southeast Asia, Japan and the Middle East. They have donated over 300 works to the Permanent Collection, including nearly 150 Edo Period (1615-1868) Japanese Woodblock Prints, and over 15 significant Hindu and Buddhist sculptures dating from the 2nd– 19th centuries. The origins of these sculptures include India, Cambodia, Nepal and Indonesia (including works from Java’s monumental Buddhist temple complex, Borobudur). Textiles are also one of the Price’s passions, and they have generously donated over 75 Islamic prayer rugs and secular rugs, saddle blankets and bags from such countries as Turkey, Afghanistan, Iran, Spain and Tibet.

In February 2005, the Museum and its Board of Trustees honored Dr. and Mrs. Price with the naming of a Museum gallery in their honor; it is now called the Price Gallery of Asian Art.
