The Gift of Life (or Art)

Situated at the main entrance to the Dallas Museum of Art (and its underground parking garage) is a large glass mosaic. The mosaic is 12 feet high and spans an impressive 60 feet in width.

The mosaic, entitled Genesis, the Gift of Life, was created by Miguel Covarrubias as a commission by Peter and Waldo Stewart for the Stewart Building in 1954.  It was moved to the DMA and restored in the early 1990s.

More information on the piece and the artist is available from the DMA Connect website.
