The Cincinnati Art Museum has announced it will host Yayoi Kusama’s immersive installation, "All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins," from July 17 through October 18, 2026. On loan from the Dallas Museum of Art, the exhibition features one of the artist's signature Infinity Mirror Rooms filled with polka-dotted acrylic pumpkins, accompanied by twelve of her pumpkin paintings created between 1990 and 2004.
Museums across the Dallas-Fort Worth area have announced their summer exhibitions, including a range of shows from Western art that influenced Hollywood to immersive installations and historical surveys. The Sid Richardson Museum in Fort Worth debuted "The Cinematic West: The Art That Made the Movies," which explores how artists like Frederic Remington and Charles Russell shaped early silent Western films through paintings, sculptures, and ephemera. The Dallas Museum of Art reopened its popular Yayoi Kusama infinity room, "All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins," while the Nasher Sculpture Center opened "Generations: 150 Years of Sculpture," featuring 50 works from its permanent collection. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art is opening "East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art" alongside a Richard Avedon exhibition.
Cindy and Howard Rachofsky, prominent art collectors and mainstays on the ARTnews Top 200 Collectors list, have reduced the asking price of their Dallas home, the Richard Meier–designed Rachofsky House, from $23 million to $17.5 million. The property, completed in 1996 and located in the affluent Preston Hollow neighborhood, has been on the market since October 2024. The Rachofskys, whose collection includes over 800 works, previously hosted the Two x Two gala in support of AIDS- and art-focused initiatives in Dallas, but stopped hosting the event in 2024.
Sotheby’s is offering María Berrío’s mixed-media collage "Act II, Scene 4: Threshold" in its "Contemporary Discoveries" online sale with an estimate of $60,000–$80,000. This specific work previously sold for $380,000 at the Two x Two for AIDS and Art charity auction in 2023, far exceeding its then-retail value of $125,000. The current auction serves as a litmus test for the artist's secondary market resilience following a period of intense speculative trading.
The Rachofsky House, a landmark contemporary art residence in Dallas designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier, has been quietly listed for sale off-market by Compass agent Faisal Halum. The 9,000-square-foot home at 8605 Preston Road has been owned for decades by prominent collectors Howard and Cindy Rachofsky, who annually hosted the Two x Two gala there, raising over $130 million for amfAR and the Dallas Museum of Art. Howard Rachofsky confirmed the sale, citing his age (81) and ongoing estate planning.
