Circle members are invited to join Dr. Heather Ecker, The Marguerite S. Hoffman and Thomas W. Lentz Curator of Islamic and Medieval Art, for a look at the recent rotation in the Keir Collection of Islamic Art Gallery, and for a discussion about this unique opportunity to combine historical Islamic art with contemporary art.
The Keir Collection Gallery presents a selection of masterworks of Islamic art from the Keir Collection, now on long-term loan to the Dallas Museum of Art. Ranking among the finest private collections of Islamic art in the world, the collection is particularly strong in Islamic ceramics and includes fascinating examples of medieval Islamic metalwork.
