DALLAS, TX.- This November marks the 25th anniversary of the Wendy and Emery Reves Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art. In 1985, the Museum received more than 1,400 works from the private art collection of Emery Reves – including impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, and decorative arts objects – donated by the Wendy & Emery Reves Foundation, Inc. on behalf of Wendy’s late husband Emery. With this gift the Museum’s collections of late 19th- and early 20th-century European art and European decorative art were transformed. To house the remarkable collection, the DMA opened a 16,500-square-foot wing in 1985 designed by the Museum’s architect, Edward Larrabee Barnes, to recreate five rooms from Villa La Pausa, the home of Wendy and Emery Reves in the south of France. The wing presents the entire Reves Collection, featuring important works by
