Art dealers, collectors and enthusiasts are in Dallas this weekend for the third annual Dallas Art Fair.
The event that mirrors the famed Miami Art Basel features contemporary and modern art from over 70 exhibitors. Notable galleries in attendance include New York’s Andrew Edlin Gallery, San Francisco’s Anthony Meier Fine Arts, St. Louis’ William Shearburn Gallery and London’s Stuart Shave Modern Art.
Seventeen Texas-based exhibitors from Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Marfa and Austin will also be partaking in the fair.
“Hope,” a recent polished-aluminium sculpture by pop artist Robert Indiana will be in the Houston-based Colton & Farb Gallery booth and works by Daniel Blagg can be found in Fort Worth’s Artspace 111 booth.
Dallas dealers Barry Whistler Gallery, Conduit Gallery, Holly Johnson Gallery and Cris Worley Fine Arts will also have pieces on display.
In addition to art, the Dallas Art Fair will offer panel discussions throughout the weekend with conversations led by art experts, international collectors, cultural institution directors and educators.
A public screening of the docu-mentary film “Full Circle: Before They Were Famous” will be shown in association with the Dallas Art Fair today and Saturday, April 9 at 5:00 p.m.
The film follows fine art photographer William John Kennedy’s early 1960s photographs of never before seen images of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. Following the film will be a panel discussion with Andy Warhol’s former colleague and superstar Ultra Violet and photographer William John Kennedy.
A student three-day pass to the event is $30. The Dallas Art Fair runs today through Sunday at the Fashion Industry Gallery, 1807 Ross Ave.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.DallasArtFair.com or at the door.
