Counterpoint

20th-Century Art from the John M. Parker Jr. Collection

Counterpoint tells the story of one man’s generous gift that formed a brilliant collection of Minimalism, Conceptualism, and Avant-Garde art.

Tells the story of one man’s generous gift that formed a brilliant collection of Minimalism, Conceptualism, and Avant-Garde art.

Counterpoint explores the vision of John M. Parker Jr., a prominent Texas art collector known for his patronage of minimalism, conceptualism, and other avant-garde art produced from 1970 onwards. Parker gifted his collections to the McNay Art Museum in 2017 and with a bequest in 2023.

Parker's collection includes more than 160 prints, drawings, photographs, paintings, and sculptures, with well-known artists including Josef Albers, Alice Aycock, John Baldessari, Katharina Fritsch, Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, Agnes Martin, and Frank Stella, among others.

Featuring much of Parker’s gift to the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas, this richly illustrated catalogue highlights the experimental work of well-known twentieth-century artists. The essays examine the formation of a personal collection, as well broader artistic discussions on the importance of printmaking to major artists and the impact of the political landscape on art of the twentieth century.
