THE ENLIGHTENED PATRONAGE OF DOMINIQUE AND JOHN DE MENIL: HOUSTON, NEW YORK, PARIS
William Middleton is the author of Double Vision: The Unerring Eye of Art World Avatars Dominique and John de Menil, the first-ever and definitive biography of the legendary art patrons Dominique and John de Menil. In Houston, the Menils built the Menil Collection, the Rothko Chapel, the Byzantine Fresco Chapel, the Cy Twombly Gallery, and underwrote the Contemporary Arts Museum.
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the art world of the twentieth century, and the enormous influence the Menils wielded through what they collected and the causes they believed in.
A book signing will follow the lecture.
