McNay Art Museum will explore the dynamic growth of their holdings with "untitled: 20 Years of Collecting Contemporary Art". The exhibition of more than 100 works, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos and installations, demonstrates the McNay’s dedication to contemporary art and celebrates the influential tenure of former head of curatorial affairs, René Paul Barilleaux.

The exhibition presents unexpected pairings by organizing objects according to the seven elements of art - line, shape, color, form, texture, value and space - and one principle of design - pattern. Visitors will find works by established and emerging artists in the galleries and on Museum grounds. Many of the artists have ties to San Antonio and several have longstanding relationships with the McNay.

The collection’s growth in the areas of modern and contemporary art was made possible through years of support from a wide community of donors, patrons and contemporary art enthusiasts. This generous support assisted in acquiring important works by women and artists of color, as well as art by emerging and regionally recognized artists.
