Brandon Zech and Jessica Fuentes preview six highly anticipated Texas art exhibitions for fall 2025. Highlights include "Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting" at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the first major U.S. museum survey of the British figurative painter; "Robert Rauschenberg: Fabric Works of the 1970s" at the Menil Collection in Houston, exploring the artist's innovative use of textiles; "Constellations: Contemporary Jewelry at the Dallas Museum of Art," featuring over 350 wearable works; and "HOST: Raul De Lara" at The Contemporary Austin, showcasing the sculptor's surreal wooden forms.
This preview matters because it spotlights the diversity and strength of Texas's art scene, bringing major international artists like Jenny Saville and Robert Rauschenberg into dialogue with contemporary jewelry and emerging sculptors. The exhibitions reflect broader trends in figurative painting, material experimentation, and the growing institutional recognition of craft-based art forms, offering audiences across the state a rich fall season of visual culture.
