Programs & Exhibitions Fall 2013 / Winter 2014

Dear Members & Friends,

New York will explode into the modern world all over again when The Armory Show at 100: Modern Art and Revolution opens on October 11, 2013 at the New-York Historical Society. Our Armory Show includes more than one hundred works from the original 1913 Armory Show, which introduced New York and the nation to modern art. Our galleries will be filled with paintings and sculptures by Picasso, Matisse, Brancusi, Duchamp, Cézanne, van Gogh, and others, as well as materials documenting the full impact of modernism delivered in 1913: the debates, discussions, and cultural shocks that made this show a “bombshell.” Also on view this fall/winter season will be Beauty’s Legacy: Gilded Age Portraits in America, a spectacular new exhibition drawn from our permanent Museum collection, and a remarkable selection of paintings by the contemporary American artist Clarice Smith. Our project in all three of these extraordinary exhibitions is to draw attention to the aesthetic pleasure of great works of art as well as the ways in which history frames them. In our DiMenna Children’s History Museum we call this approach “The Art of History.” Be sure to check out our new weekend and holiday programs for children and families featuring history and art on pages 26-27 of this brochure.

As always we look to engage our serious “history buffs” and all those who love the American story in our Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series, with offerings that include evening and weekend programs with Russell Shorto, Barry Lewis, Kati Marton, Leon Botstein, Khalil Gibran Muhammad, and Jodi Kantor, as well as our President Bill Clinton annual lecture featuring A. Scott Berg on Wilson. The Harold and Ruth Newman Lecture in American History will be given this fall by Robert A. Caro. The Byron Wien Lecture in Financial History will focus on the 1920s to the “Crash,” with James Grant and Amity Shlaes joining Byron R. Wien on the stage. Our Carl Menges Lecture in American History will look at “The Founders at Home,” with Myron Magnet and Richard Brookhiser. We thank Bernard and Irene Schwartz for enabling the Distinguished Speakers Series, the heart of our public programs, as well as our Classic Film Series, which will include Associate Justice, United States Supreme Court, Samuel Alito, among others. How lucky we are for the Schwartzes, whose generosity and leadership have made it possible for us to invite great historians, writers, and now filmmakers to our Robert H. Smith Auditorium over the past nearly ten years!

Many thanks are owed as well to our outstanding Board of Trustees, above all our Chairman, Opposite and Front Roger Hertog, our Chair-elect, Pam B. Schafler, and our visionary past chairman, Richard Cover (detail): Gilder. As always I want to recognize and compliment my colleague Dale Gregory, our Vice Marcel Duchamp President for Public Programs, and her team for the splendid work that they do.
