The Menil's founding director forever changed Houston's art scene. His gift of 600 works shows how
He went on to become director of the Pasadena Art Museum, now the Norton Simon Museum, and Corcoran Gallery of Art; then, curator of modern art at the National Collection of Fine Arts, now the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In the 1960s Hopps met John de Menil while curating an exhibition on Jasper Johns in Pasadena, though he wasn't introduced to de Menil's wife, Dominique, until 1971 during the opening for a Barnett Newman exhibition in New York City.
Which is how more than 600 works came to the museum in 2019. The exhibition, which opens Friday, celebrates those recent and promised gifts. Elliott concurred; Hopps moved very quickly, and very decisively. He frequently startled museum security as he leapt from one artwork to another. "Some guest tripped over a barrier and into one of the cubes," Bell recalled with a sly smile."I heard this clunk and knew it was."
A trio of Houston-based artists Suzanne Bloom, Terrell James, and Sharon Kopriva each has work on view in the alcove adjacent to the Robert Rauschenberg room. There, James took pause to thank Huber for nurturing up and coming female artists way back when.
