For nearly five decades Judy Chicago has dauntlessly defied social and artistic conventions with her art. Internationally recognized as a pioneer of the Feminist Art Movement since the 1979 debut of her most prominent work, the Dinner Party; her expansive series on the mysteries of birth, female sexuality, the iconography of (male) power, and the Holocaust have also established her as one of the most influential artists of our time.
Judy Chicago: Dauntless is the first retrospective of Judy Chicago’s ongoing creative career. The 96 works that comprise this exhibition stand witness to Judy Chicago’s extraordinary artistic achievements as they continue - after decades of exposure in the public limelight and uncountable words of evaluation, censure, praise and critical acclaim - to challenge and re-define conventions of gender, history and artistic media.
Exhibits Development Group is honored to represent this extraordinary woman and artist's retrospective. Only two venues in the US will have the opportunity to host the exhibition in 2011-2012 before it travels to Europe.

For more than forty years, Liberace set the standard for extravagant style in music entertainment and invented "show business!". He captivated his audiences the second the curtains were lifted with his charismatic charm and eccentric style. He was a sincere and generous man who was dedicated to make every performance, his best performance.
Liberace! is a spectacle of luxury and extravagance, a showcase of bling from the man who started it all. This exhibition features more than fifteen extraordinary costumes full of flamboyance and flare made with everything from Swarovski crystals and pink turkey feathers to monkey fur and mink tails, along with his costume-complementing cars- and pianos.
This exhibition will surely appeal to a broad audience and attract new visitors and members to museums. Museum-goers will have a full Liberace experience, beginning with the young piano prodigy who became one of America's most unique performers ever to fuel show-business.

Featuring 85 paintings from the collection of the Ramos Foundation, Miami, Florida, Great Masters of Cuban Art, reveals the talent and passion of some of the best known artists in Cuban history. Through movement, emotion and vibrant colors the exhibition focuses on the beloved themes of Cuban artists: portraits, landscapes, music, religion and the history of Cuba. Together these artistic renditions present the most powerful exhibit of pre-revolutionary Cuban painting and offer the opportunity to experience an almost forgotten Cuban lifestyle.
Great Masters of Cuban Art is a painted document of more than a century of history and art. Most importantly, it is the visual record of a land famous for its beauty and fertility and a culture renowned for its vibrant artistic, literary and musical heritage.
