SITE131 will present "Texas Collects," featuring collectors sharing their private holdings with a crowd eager to learn about new art. The initial exhibition in the series will feature the holdings of 30-year Dallas collector Michael Wynne and his wife, Betsy Carter.

A majority of the 40 artworks on view feature Texas artists. Key statewide artists include Rachel Hecker’s Ache, whom Wynne sees as the most overlooked artist in Texas. An early important Untitled 1994 piece by Scott Barber, recalling the tragedy of his untimely early death, is matched by a current drum piece by Jake Elliott & River Shell made this year. Appreciating her sense of humor, Celia Eberle’s fake ceramics, Mark Flood’s beautifully made skateboards, and Jeff Elrod’s hand-drawn computer squiggles feature key works in the collection.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through December 10.
