Presents the only in-depth survey devoted exclusively to the state's nonprofit visual arts institutions.
Rebecca Cohen organizes the book regionally. Individual entries for museums and galleries give essential contact information, including phone numbers and Web sites, as well as a description of the collection(s) and past exhibitions, a brief history of the institution, significant architectural details about the building, and assorted practical tips. Black-and-white photographs accompany many of the entries, as well as notable quotes on art and architecture. In addition, Cohen's essays on the phenomenal late-twentieth-century growth of the arts in Texas and on arts activity in the different regions of the state provide a helpful context for exploring the arts in Texas.
"Simply phrased: This is the most important guide to the art treasures of Texas. This book is essential for serious tourists and a basic reference for all Texans. It should be placed right alongside the Yellow Pages and the Gideon Bible in every Texas hotel." Peter C. Marzio, Director, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
