The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, present a joint exhibition of the work of artist David Bates on view February 9 through May 11, 2014. The exhibition is a retrospective of Bates's work installed in both locations with an emphasis on painting in Fort Worth and sculpture and works on paper in Dallas. This is the first collaboration between the two museums. The exhibition is organized by Dr. Marla Price, director of the Modern, and Jeremy Strick, director of the Nasher. Dr. Price, who organized David Bates: Forty Paintings for the Modern in 1988, the first major museum exhibition of the artist's work, says, "David Bates's exuberant paintings, sculptures, and reliefs are memorable and treasured works in the Modern's permanent collection. His masterful technique creates an unforgettable portrait of a particular place and its inhabitants. He translates his own experiences into works of art that transcend regional boundaries." The exhibition at the Modern concludes with recent work, including Bates's self-portraits and still lifes, while the installation at the Nasher will include a gallery devoted to the artist's studio practice, highlighting connections among his paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Bates has been the focus of many solo museum and gallery exhibitions, including David Bates: The Katrina Paintings, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, Missouri; David Bates since 1982: From the Everyday to the Epic, Austin Museum of Art, Austin, Texas; and David Bates: Paintings from Texas Collections, The Grace Museum, Abilene, Texas. He has also been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including Still Life Masterpieces: A Visual Feast from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Elements of Nature: Selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, Carnegie Art Museum, Oxnard, California; Variations on America: Masterworks from American Art Forum Collections, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; and the 1987 Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. His work is prominently collected by museums, corporations, and individuals nationally, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Dallas Museum of Art. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has 12 works in its permanent collection.  by The
