The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) has acquired six works by artists Nicole Eisenman, Gloria Klein, Caroline Monnet, and Raymond Saunders from the 2026 Dallas Art Fair. The purchases were made through the joint Dallas Art Fair Foundation + Dallas Museum of Art Acquisition Fund, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary and has now placed 78 works into the museum's collection with over $1 million in funding.
This acquisition initiative highlights the museum's commitment to diversifying its permanent collection by focusing on artists from Indigenous, LGBTQ, women, and African diaspora perspectives. The fund's decade-long impact demonstrates a significant model for institutional collecting that directly supports living artists and their galleries, while also shaping the cultural narrative of a major public collection.
