HALLES ART BARN
Halles Art Barn is a new gallery, directed by Round Top Show Guide’s Candice Cowin, and is split between a pair of artistic entities: Steve Wrubel Collection and Texas Artists Today. The former will showcase a permanent installation of the noted Dallas photographer’s bronc-bustin’ Rodeo series. The latter, curated by PaperCity executive editor Catherine D. Anspon, will rotate exhibitions every two months, beginning with sculpture and photographs by Houston-based pop art icon Julia McLaurin.

STEVE WRUBEL COLLECTION
California-raised and “Texas-braised,” Steve Wrubel spent 25 years in fine art and commercial photography before shifting to a career capturing images of his passion: the American Rodeo.
Wrubel’s work is part photographic and part surgical, taking the subjects of his images and superimposing them onto separate backdrops using digital techniques. In the artist’s Rodeo series, images of cowboys on bucking broncos are removed from the familiar backgrounds of cheering crowds, and recontextualized against rolling country plains and blue skies.
TEXAS ARTISTS TODAY
The gallery is named after curator Catherine D. Anspon’s 2010 book of the same name, a survey of 62 leading contemporary talents in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. Texas Artists Today will introduce a new artist to Round Top every two months, beginning with Houston-based neo-pop icon Julia McLaurin.
