Cecily Brown’s “The Splendid Table” marks a historic milestone as the first of her works to join the Dallas Museum of Art’s collection, generously donated by The Rachofsky Collection and The Hartland & Mackie Family / Labora Collection. Now featured in her largest retrospective to date, the exhibition showcases Brown’s reinterpretation of historical painting, where she challenges gendered stereotypes, redefines women as fully realized creators and subjects, and solidifies their place within the history of art. On view through February 9, 2024.
