This year marked the termination of The A. W. Mellon Edu- cational and Charitable Trust in Pittsburgh, the vehicle through which Andrew W. Mellon fulfilled his promise to create and present to the United States the National Gallery of Art and the nucleus of its collections. The trust provided a final grant totaling five million dollars, which, together with a further gift by Paul Mellon, has made it possible for the Gallery to under- take "Operation Breakthrough," a remodeling program on the ground floor of the original West Building. Attendance at the Gallery, which in accordance with the United States government's pledge of support is always "free of charge," reached 5,997,210 in the fiscal year, a new record and an increase over the previous year's record level of 5,529,802. This forty-third report of the National Gallery of Art con- tains the second consecutive public report of the Gallery's finances. Both Federal and non-Federal funds have been au- dited, and the opinion of Price Waterhouse & Co., which appears later in this report, covers a consolidated statement. These financial statements demonstrate the very important role which funding by the Federal government, implementing its pledge to provide for the upkeep and operation of the Gal- lery, plays in the Gallery's financial position. However, private sources have financed the Gallery's magnificent buildings and continue to provide the means whereby the Gallery's standard of excellence as an art museum is maintained. All the works of art in the Gallery's collections are memorials to private gener- osity and patriotism. Note 2 to the financial statements shows that, in the years since the founding of the Gallery in 1937 "Operation Breakthrough" through September 30, 1980, private sources have provided all 7 the invaluable works of art in the Gallery's collections as well as the West and East Buildings and, in addition, $220,000,000 in funding, while the Federal government has provided the Gallery's land and $153,000,000 in funding. During the past year, the trustees considered various alterna- tive ways in which the future growth of the Gallery's collections might be assured and the vitality and forward-moving impetus given to the National Gallery by its founding benefactors main- tained. The trustees concluded that, to complete the financial underpinning of this unique national institution, there should be established an endowment, I he income of which would be used exclusively to purchase works of art to complement the Gallery's collection. One of the principal objectives and activ- ities of the Gallery's general trustees will be to seek support for this endowment among the many private citizens who we hope and confidently expect will share the responsibility for fulfilling the great vision of the Gallery's founder—that of an "art gal- lery of the Nation and the people of the United States" main- tained by a mutually reinforcing blend of enlightened public support and private giving, with the ultimate beneficiaries be- ing the American people. The activities of the Gallery over the year are summarized by the director in his review of the year, which follows. JOHN R.

Offenbacher, Construction Manager DIRECTOR EMERITUS OF THE GALLERY John Walker 10 DIRECTOR'S REVIEW OF THE YEAR During the fiscal year covered by this report, from October 1979 through September 1980, the Gallery progressed on several diverse fronts: the special exhibitions offered a varied panorama the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts inaugurated its program and welcomed its first group of scholars; generous donors furthered the permanent collections; and the first phase of the reconstruction of the West Building's ground floor neared completion. The Art of the Pacific Islands The Art of the Pacific Islands, the most comprehensive exhibi continues tion ever devoted to the visual arts of Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and New Guinea, had been scheduled to close October 14, but public interest remained so high that, with the permission of the many magnanimous lenders, the Gallery extended the closing date. The exhibition, with its objects of great visual power and intricacy, was seen by close to 400,000 visitors. Mies van der Rohe and To mark the fiftieth anniversary of a significant achievement uropean terra cotta exhibitions in another of the visual arts, a small exhibition entitled Mies van der Rohe: The Barcelona Pavilion went on view October 14 on the upper level of the East Building. The pavilion, perhaps the most influential single building in the international style, had been designed a half-century earlier by Mies for the 1929 Inter- national Exposition in Barcelona, Spain, and was taken down shortly thereafter. A delightful selection of sculpture in clay from the fifteenth to the twentieth century opened October 28 on the East Building's mezzanine level. The exhibition, European Terra Cottas from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, illustrated the various uses of clay as a medium, from highly finished works of art to bozzetti, the sculptor's "first thoughts" for a new work. CASVA advisory board Also in October, progress continued toward full operation of the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts to take place at the beginning of the following academic year. Seven dis- 11 The Art of the Pacific Islands exhibition tinguished scholars and art historians—Jean Sutherland Boggs, Marvin Eisenberg, Oleg Grabar, George Heard Hamilton, Francis J.H. Haskell, Irving Lavin, and William C. Loerke— agreed to serve as the first advisory board to the Study Center. A committee of the board was formed to advise the Center on the choice of resident and visiting scholars for the coming year. CASVA grants The Center received grants from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation to provide funds for three years. The Mellon grant will support the initial staff, activities, and stipends for five scholars. The Kress con- tributions will enable further development of the photographic archives and supply stipends for five more scholars. Kress Professors in Residence The Gallery also welcomed the first of two Samuel H. Kress Professors in Residence for the academic year 1979-1980. For the fall term William Heckscher served, and in the spring, Otto 12 David Smith, Sentinel I. Gift of the Collectors Committee von Simson.

  • National Dimensions
    ONS NATIONAL DIM NATIONAL DIMENNATIONAL DIMENSIONS NAL DIMENSIONS DIMENSIONS NATIO This report was researched and written by AEA Consulting: Magnus von Wistinghausen Keith Morgan Katharine Housden This report sets out the collaborative work undertaken by the UK’s nationally funded museums, libraries and archives with other organisations across the UK, and assesses their impact on cultural provision across the nation. It focuses on the activities in recent years of members of the National Museum Directors’ Conference (NMDC), and is largely based on discussions with these institutions and selected partner organisations, as well as on a series of discussion days hosted by the NMDC in different regional centres in July 2003. It does not make specific reference to collaborative work between NMDC organisations themselves, and focuses on activities and initiatives that have taken place in the last few years. For the sake of simplicity the term ‘national museum’ is used throughout the report to describe all NMDC member organisations, notwithstanding the fact that these also include libraries and archives. In this report the term ‘national’ is used to denote institutions established by Act of Parliament as custodians of public collections that belong to the nation. It is acknowledged that the NMDC does not include all museums and other collecting institutions which carry the term ‘national’ as part of their name. Specific reference to their activities is not contained in this report. Published in the United Kingdom by the National Museum Directors'

  • Family Guide (English)—Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera
    This family gallery guide introduces you to a very important collection of artworks. Just as some of you may collect things that you like, so did the husband- and-wife team of Jacques and Natasha Gelman. They acquired many works of art by their friends Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, who were married. Diego and Frida were both respected artists. Diego was already the most celebrated of all Mexican artists before he became friends with Jacques and Natasha. In 1931, a huge exhibition of Diego’s work was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He was well known for the large public murals he created in Detroit, New York, and San Francisco, as well as in Mexico. Since the 1980s, Frida has become even more famous than Diego. Her intense self-portraits have made her face familiar around the world. COVER: Bernard Silberstein (American, 1905–1999). Frida Paints “Diego on My Mind” while Diego Watches, 1940. Gelatin silver print, 17 x 14 in. The Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of 20th Century Mexican Art and the Vergel Foundation. © Bernard Silberstein About the Artist: Frida Kahlo Frida Kahlo was born in Mexico City, Mexico, in 1907. When she was eighteen years old, Frida was riding a bus when it was hit by a DESCRIPTIVE WORDS streetcar. The accident left her with extensive injuries. During her recovery, while she was confined to her bed, she began painting to relieve boredom. Frida painted throughout the rest of her life, but childhood: an early stage of growth she had only two solo exhibitions of her works while she was alive.
