Amon Carter Museum of American Art: Preparing for Renovation
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art is renovating its building facade. This time lapse video, condensing three days work into less than two minutes, shows the artworks being removed from the affected spaces. The Burmese teak paneling, original to the 1961 building, was also removed and packed for storage.
The east-facing facade, a curtain wall of glass with bronze mullions, is a part of the original 1961 museum structure designed by architect Philip Johnson. The front windows of the museum will be replaced with new windows optimized for insulation and blocking ultraviolet light. Also, the current revolving door will be replaced with a new entryway for easier access to the building and better climate control.
Although the front galleries are closed temporarily, the museum will remain open during the renovation. During construction, please use the Lancaster Avenue entrance.
The museum’s collection will be hung throughout the open galleries and the museum is presenting four installations of artworks not typically on view. These include: 'Audubon’s Beasts' (through August 2), 'American Still Life' (through August 2), 'Like Father Like Son: Edward and Brett Weston' (through August 23) and 'Remington and Russell' (February 28–June 2). Also on view are 'Lone Star Portraits' (through May 17) and 'George and Martha' (through July).

Navigating the West: George Caleb Bingham and the River at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Navigating the West, a dynamic exhibition featuring sixteen iconic river paintings and fifty drawings, reveals for the first time how George Caleb Bingham (1811–1879) created his art and artistic persona at a time when American painting, like the country, was dramatically shifting. Then and now our nation’s waterways—how they are used, controlled, and the lives of the people closest to them—remain a current and important issue.
The exhibition has been organized by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas, and the Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, Missouri. It is supported in part by generous grants from the Henry Luce Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Fort Worth presentation is supported by the Mr. And Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts and the Crystelle Waggoner Charitable Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee. After premiering at the Amon Carter, the exhibition travels to the Saint Louis Art Museum, on view from February 22–May 17, 2015. It can be seen in New York at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from June 15–September 20, 2015.

Panorama Installation Timelapse
The last surviving 19th century panorama of the Mississippi River can be seen at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas, in the exhibition 'Navigating the West: George Caleb Bingham and the River,' on view October 2, 2014, through January 18, 2015.
This time-lapse video shows the Installation crew at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art working over a period of four days to assemble and install a custom-built device to safely hold and display one scene on the panorama.
'Panorama of the Monumental Grandeur of the Mississippi Valley' was painted circa 1850 by John J. Egan (born in Ireland, active in 19th century). The painting measures 7-1/2 by 348 feet and depicts 24 different scenes. It is on loan from the Saint Louis Art Museum.
During the mid-19th century, moving panoramas proliferated as a popular form of visual entertainment. These long strips of painted canvas were mounted on two vertical rollers and wound from one roller to the other so that a series of scenes scrolled past a gathered audience. The Mississippi River was a popular subject for such panoramas, and many examples toured throughout the United States and Europe.

Samuel F. B. Morse and American Artists at the Louvre
Olivier Meslay, Associate Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Dallas Museum of Art, and formerly Curator of British, American, and Spanish Paintings at the Musée du Louvre, discusses Samuel F. B. Morse's painting, 'Gallery of the Louvre,' and American artists Benjamin West and George Catlin, as well as connections between American artists and the Louvre in the mid-nineteenth century.
The Amon Carter is delighted to participate in a national tour organized by the Terra Foundation for American Art of Samuel F. B. Morse’s iconic painting 'Gallery of the Louvre' (1831–1833). The exhibition 'Samuel F. B. Morse's Gallery of the Louvre and the Art of Invention' presents Morse’s famous painting and painted preparatory sketch in combination with works on paper from the museum’s own collection that, like Morse’s painting, feature museum and gallery spaces as their subject matter.
