The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Announces Fall Exhibition ​In the Company of Artists: 25 Years of Artists-In-Residence FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Announces Fall Exhibition In the Company of Artists: 25 Years of ​ Artists-in-Residence On View: October 17, 2019 – January 20, 2020 Bharti Kher, Six Women, 2013-2015. Plaster of Paris, wood, metal, in 6 parts approx. Courtesy of the artist and Hauser & ​ ​ Worth. Photo: Maegan Hill-Carroll, Vancouver Art Gallery. BOSTON, MA (August 2019) – This October, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will open In the ​ ​ Company of Artists: 25 Years of Artists-in-Residence, an exhibition celebrating the Museum’s ​ legacy of inviting artists to live at the Museum, explore the collection, and create new works inspired by their experience. The exhibition will feature work from dynamic Artists-in-Residence including Sophie Calle, Bharti Kher, Luisa Lambri, Laura Owens, Rachel Perry, Dayanita Singh, and Su-Mei Tse. In selecting the seven women artists for the exhibition, the Museum recognizes ​ ​ and furthers the legacy of its founder—a woman with a bold creative spirit, who championed the artists of her own time. In the Company of Artists will be on view in the Museum’s Hostetter ​ ​ Gallery from Oct. 17, 2019 to Jan. 20, 2020. “In the Company of Artists reminds us that Isabella’s tradition of inviting artists to experience the ​ ​ collection and beauty of the Museum lives on here every day,” said Pieranna Cavalchini, the Tom and Lisa Blumenthal Curator of Contemporary Art. “We call it the gift of time: time to draw, ​ write, and imagine new work. Artists who live on the property have a unique perspective on the Museum and are given special access to the collection and inner workings of the institution. Bringing different minds from many cultures, and using the Museum—what many have called Isabella’s total work of art—as a building block for new thinking and creative engagement is a unique part of the Gardner Legacy.“ In the Company of Artists’s works on view will include: ​ ● Sophie Calle, What Do You See? (Rembrandt, A Lady and Gentleman in Black), 2013, ​ ​ ​ ​ What Do You See? (Vermeer, The Concert), 2013, Two lambda prints, two lithographs on ​ Rives BFK paper. ● Bharti Kher, 6 Women, 2013-2015, Plaster of Paris, wood, metal. ​ ​ ● Luisa Lambri, four untitled works, 2008-2012, Laserchrome print. ● Laura Owens, one untitled work, 2001, Watercolor and pencil on paper. ● Rachel Perry, Halos, 2014-ongoing, Braille punch, graphite, and gold leaf on paper. ​ ​ ● Dayanita Singh, Museum of Shedding, 2013, Wood furniture and photographs. ​ ​ ● Su-Mei Tse, Bleeding Tools, 2009, Steel, wood, paper, brushes. ​ ​ Many of the artists in the exhibition drew inspiration from the Gardner itself—its collections, environment and history. Laura Owens’s watercolor and pencil work reinterprets a 17th-century Spanish embroidery from the Raphael Room; Sophie Calle’s What Do You See? are two works ​ ​ from a series responding to the infamous 1990 Gardner Museum theft; and Rachel Perry’s Halos is ​ ​ ​ ​ inspired by the Museum’s abundance of religious paintings and sculptures. Other artists have been re-energized by their time at the Museum. Their residencies and the immersive environment of the Museum led to creative renewal for Bharti Kher, Luisa Lambri, Dayanita Singh, and Su-Mei Tse. The Gardner is one of the only museums in the world to welcome artists to live and work on site—usually for about a month in a specially designed apartment in the Museum—to experience the collection in personal, intimate ways. Since its inception, the Gardner Museum has been a haven for artists of all disciplines. In her time, Isabella Stewart Gardner nurtured and supported many creative minds—inviting them to activate the galleries through their work, ranging from painting to performances of music and dance, to literary readings. John Singer Sargent is considered the Museum’s first Artist-in-Residence, since Isabella Stewart Gardner invited him to live at the Museum and use the Gothic Room as his studio in 1903. In 1992, the Museum’s then-Director, Anne Hawley, started the Artist-in-Residence program as a way to ​ ​ connect more directly with artists and re-energize the Museum with the founder’s creative spirit. “During Isabella’s lifetime, she surrounded herself with artists of every discipline and saw her Museum as a vibrant space for concerts, performances, salons, and creativity in many forms,” said Peggy Fogelman, the Museum’s Norma Jean Calderwood Director. “This exhibition ​ ​ celebrates her legacy and 25 years of our Artist-in-Residence program, which has become an incredibly rewarding partnership between the Museum and artists from around the world. We look forward to them bringing the Museum to life through their works and sharing their stories and experiences with our visitors.” In addition to the exhibition on display in Hostetter Gallery, other Artists-in-Residence will activate spaces throughout the Museum and the historic palace, with participatory artworks and performances including Sonic Blossom (2013-present) by Lee Mingwei, live portrait drawing with ​ ​ ​ ​ Charmaine Wheatley, and storytelling with Gcina Mhlophe. Supporting fall programming includes a three day film festival in November featuring works by Artists-in-Residence, Museum Salon Luminaries and local filmmakers. ​ ​ In conjunction with the exhibition, the Museum will launch its first artist-guided audio tours recorded by Steve Locke, Elisa Hamilton, and Gregory Maguire—giving visitors the experience of seeing the Museum’s galleries and Courtyard from their perspectives and personal experiences. In its entirety, In the Company of Artists and its supporting elements and programming will ​ ​ reintroduce to visitors all the ways the Museum works with the creative community—both local and international—across all stages of their careers.

Touching the Void: The museological implications of theft on public art collections Jillian Seaton Ph.D. University of Edinburgh 2014 Abstract Of central importance to this thesis is the way security measures contradict the process through which museums have been seeking to divest themselves of theoretical hierarchies and value judgments in recent years. A context for investigation is established that considers how a perceptible increase in art theft, complicated by the escalating value of individual objects and the proliferation of museums as represented by a rise in attendance figures has produced a climate of vulnerability for arts collections around the world. In response, museums are installing unprecedented levels of security that are having a significant impact on established viewing conditions and redefining museum space. Further hindering this situation is the disparity between the fields of museology and museum security.

  • Excerpted from Bernard Berenson and the Picture Trade
    1 Bernard Berenson at Harvard College* Rachel Cohen When Bernard Berenson began his university studies, he was eighteen years old, and his family had been in the United States for eight years. The Berensons, who had been the Valvrojenskis when they left the village of Butrimonys in Lithuania, had settled in the West End of Boston. They lived near the North Station rail yard and the North End, which would soon see a great influx of Eastern European Jews. But the Berensons were among the early arrivals, their struggles were solitary, and they had not exactly prospered. Albert Berenson (fig. CC.I.1), the father of the family, worked as a tin peddler, and though he had tried for a while to run a small shop out of their house, that had failed, and by the time Berenson began college, his father had gone back to the long trudging rounds with his copper and tin pots. Berenson did his first college year at Boston University, but, an avid reader and already a lover of art and culture, he hoped for a wider field. It seems that he met Edward Warren (fig. CC.I.16), with whom he shared an interest in classical antiquities, and that Warren generously offered to pay the fees that had otherwise prevented Berenson from attempting to transfer to Harvard. To go to Harvard would, in later decades, be an ambition of many of the Jews of Boston, both the wealthier German and Central European Jews who were the first to come, and the poorer Jews, like the Berensons, who left the Pale of Settlement in the period of economic crisis and pogroms.1 But Berenson came before this; he was among a very small group of Jewish students, and one of the first of the Russian Jews, to go to Harvard.

  • Botticelli: Heroines + Heroes on View: February 14, 2019 – May 19, 2019
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Botticelli: Heroines + Heroes On View: February 14, 2019 – May 19, 2019 Sandro Botticelli (Italian, 1444 or 1445-1510), The Tragedy of Lucretia, 1499-1500. Tempera and oil on panel, 83.8 x 176.8 cm (33 x 69 5/8 in.) Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston (P16e20) BOSTON, MA (October 2018) – For the forthcoming Botticelli: Heroines + Heroes exhibition in early 2019, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum will be the sole venue in the United States to reunite Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli’s The Story of Lucretia from the Gardner Museum collection with the painter’s Story of Virginia, on loan from Italy for the first time. This presentation explores Botticelli’s revolutionary narrative paintings and brings them into dialogue with contemporary responses. The exhibition opens Feb. 14, 2019 and runs through May 19, 2019. Painted around 1500, eight monumental works – including important loans from museums in Europe and the U.S. - demonstrate Botticelli’s extraordinary talent as a master storyteller. He reinvented ancient Roman and early Christian heroines and heroes as role models, transforming their stories of lust, betrayal, and violence into parables for a new era of political and religious turmoil. Considered one of the most renowned artists of the Renaissance, Botticelli (about 1445-1510) was sought after by popes, princes, and prelates for paintings to decorate Italian churches. His Medici-era madonnas elevated Botticelli to a household name in Gilded Age Boston. Yet the painter achieved iconic status through his secular paintings for domestic interiors – like the Primavera. All of the works in the Gardner’s exhibition originally filled the palaces of Florence, adorning patrician bedrooms with sophisticated modern spins on ancient tales.
