The Gallery’s 26th Annual Texas Art Auction to be held on Saturday, Oct. 15, will be in the new location in Alpha Plaza. Included in the live auction sale will be more than 400 lots of Texas Art ranging from early and traditional to contemporary works. Highlights include works by Julian Onderdonk, Dawson Dawson-Watson, Tom Lea, Everett Spruce and Fred Darge. Also, featured are important mid-century modern paintings by Dorothy Hood and Ben Culwell. 

Highlighted in the sale is a unique partnership with Dallas 24 Hour Club and a select group of local galleries who are donating a self-portrait from one of their artists to be sold to benefit the 24 Hour Club. All proceeds from the sale of these works will be donated to the Dallas 24 Hour Club. A selection of works also is being sold to benefit CASETA — The Center for the Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art.

The sale again will be conducted live by auctioneer, Louis Murad (TXS 13362). There will be Live In-Person Bidding, Live On-line Bidding, Phone, and Absentee Bidding. Bubbles and bites will be catered by Rodeo Goat.
