Highlights from the Collection
The Amon Carter Museum opened in January 1961 to house the collection of western art amassed by Fort Worth publisher and philanthropist Amon G. Carter Sr. (1879–1955). Expanding on Mr. Carter’s original collection of 400 paintings, drawings, and works of sculpture by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell—the single most important collection of works by these artists—the museum now encompasses a wide range of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture, as well as photographs from the early days of the medium to the present.
