British artist Richard Long has given us his 'Dallas Rag' - Dallas Morning News
Craig Hall and I met in Vienna in 1999, when his wife, Kathryn, was serving as the U. S. ambassador to Austria, an appointee of President Bill Clinton. We talked about the parties you get to host as U. S. ambassador to Austria, where the couple’s guests have included Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel, Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, novelists Toni Morrison and Richard Ford, wine connoisseur Robert... He overcame a childhood marred by epilepsy to join the city’s ranks of multimillionaires when he moved to Dallas in 1979. Hall had admired and collected art since he was a teenager. Now he seeks the same synergy at Hall Arts in the Dallas Arts District. He wanted just the right kind of experiential art to adorn the lobby of KPMG Plaza. Hall hired Long to create the massive wall piece for the lobby of the anchor building for Hall Arts, a five-acre complex in the Arts District that will house Jackson Walker, UMB Bank, Hall Financial Group and a new Stephan Pyles restaurant. Long ranks as one of Britain’s most significant artists. His works appear in the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Source: www.dallasnews.com
