Star-Telegram art critic Gaile Robinson writes of the Carter’s new special exhibition: “Museumgoers are rarely treated to works on paper shows, and this is an opportunity to see more than 100 pieces by a who’s who of America’s most famous artists of the past century.”

Read what else she had to say about American Moderns on Paper: Masterworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.

The New Year is just around the corner, and the Amon Carter Museum has a stellar 2010 exhibition schedule. Comprised of three special exhibitions that celebrate modern art, each will focus on different American modern art movements spanning the years 1902 to 1962 in a variety of media including works on paper, paintings, sculpture and photographs.

Be on the lookout for the Carter’s Wrapped Oranges on the side of a Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) Bus. Three new buses depicting Fort Worth’s art museums and their iconic works recently hit the streets. It’s a component of a partnership between The T and the museums to encourage the public to “Ride the T to the Cultural District.” For more information on how to ride the T, visit www.the-t.com.
