Amon Carter Museum
Fort Worth, TX,
USA
In its forty-year history, the Amon Carter Museum has sponsored more than 100 exhibitions and seventy publications devoted to
some aspect of western art. Beyond that, the museum has endeavored to acquire seminal works of western art for its
permanent collection.
This special exhibition celebrates forty years of collecting outstanding examples of the art of the American
West. Beginning with an early view (1826) of Hudson’s Bay by Peter Rindisbacher and moving forward to a photograph of
California clouds by Edward Weston (1936), the exhibition comprises ninety paintings, sculptures, watercolors, drawings,
photographs, and rare books by fifty-two artists who depicted the North American frontier.
