The Amon Carter Museum of American Art will present "American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection," the first exhibition dedicated to the collection of businessman, philanthropist, and Texas native Charles Butt.

Bringing together over 75 works, the exhibition presents and recontextualizes the multifold histories of American art by sharing Butt’s vision of American creativity and opening his collection to the public for the first time. It comes to Fort Worth as the first stop on a multi-city tour at institutions throughout Texas.

The exhibition includes paintings and works on paper from the turn of the 20th century through the end of the 1970s and features works by American modernist icons, including Romare Bearden, Edward Hopper, Joan Mitchell, Alice Neel, Georgia O’Keeffe, Alma Thomas, and Andrew Wyeth, among others, many of which have never been publicly viewed.

Reflecting Butt's commitment to education and his keen entrepreneurial eye, his collection embodies a distinctly American commitment to technical, conceptual, and aesthetic innovation.
