74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 7 2/22/08 10:11:15 AM president and chairperson’s report

As we start a new year, we are pleased that the twelve months covered by this report (September 1, 2006–August 31, 2007) have been an extraordinary period of vitality, strength, and artistic growth at the Milwaukee Art Museum. In short, we had a spectacular year. We achieved goal-reaching attendance and critical success with Biedermeier, Francis Bacon, and Pissarro and had solid sales in the Museum Store and Café Calatrava. Our fi nances are sound. We have mandated that the Museum run with a balanced budget, and once again this year, we are pleased to report a solid fi nancial performance, after a transfer of $294,000 to a Board- designated fund for future use, with an operating surplus at year-end.

The hard work and enthusiasm of everyone here at the Milwaukee Art Museum, past and present, has enabled us to reach our objectives. We extend our thanks and appreciation to former Board president Andy Ziegler for his dedication to the Milwaukee Art Museum. Also, we bid farewell and say thanks to outgoing Board members Terry Hueneke, Jeff Joerres, and James Schloemer for their tireless energy.

We have no doubt that the momentum will continue as Kenneth C. Krei from M&I Wealth Management and Valerie B. Clarke from Friends of Art join our Board of

W. Kent Velde Trustees. Also, Mary Cann, who represents Collectors’ Corner, and Phyllis Scharner, from the Garden Club, bring fresh perspective and energy to the Board. We are indebted to our Members and trustees for their stellar contributions to the annual operating fund, which make possible the wide array of programs and services we off er the community year after year.

David Gordon, CEO and director of the Milwaukee Art Museum, is stepping down after fi ve and half years of outstanding service to the Museum. His British humor and wit, love of art, and leadership will be missed.

The new fi scal year begins with the best possible foundation for the future: an exuberant community of museum professionals, trustees, artists, and visitors, all of whom bring an eagerness to experience something new and diff erent while demanding absolute authenticity. “Art Lives Here,” a phrase emblazoned on Museum shirts, totes, and hats, is our common value and a sincere pledge. Art lives Sheldon B. Lubar at the Museum, indeed: the exhibitions in our galleries and the lectures and fi lms in Lubar Auditorium attest to our ongoing commitment to presenting work by artists of remarkable courage and ingenuity—the sort of work that makes us all take notice and think about art in new ways.

To this end, our great Museum adds measurable value to the region’s economic life—approximately $17 million of economic impact in a typical year, according to research done by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism. This past year, we welcomed almost 297,000 visitors, and many more watched the Museum’s wings lift over the Museum. More importantly, the Museum contributes in ways that are beyond measure, enriching daily life and inspiring individuals to appreciate other times and cultures, and to explore new horizons. Art can do things not possible through any other means.

Gift of Fay Martin Chandler M2006.53 Chairperson. While supporting the Museum today, we also look forward to the year ahead and the next group of leaders, who will serve with enthusiasm and commitment to the mission of the Milwaukee Art Museum.

We are deeply grateful to all of our generous donors who support the Milwaukee Art Museum and its mission. A museum like ours is a collaboration of private donors, dedicated employees, and an eager public. And we have an extraordinarily productive collaboration here at the Milwaukee Art Museum. We appreciate all of you who come and come back again, bringing open minds through our open doors. You create the strongest and most vital energy source of all: active engagement in the art and culture.

Sincerely,

W. Kent Velde President of the Board of Trustees

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 9 2/21/08 5:18:18 PM director’s report

My fi rst objective when I arrived was to make it abundantly clear that the Museum was artistically dynamic and was not resting on the laurels of its extraordinary new building. My second objective was to build an outstanding team from existing staff and from new recruits. And the third was to make repayment of debt the Museum’s top priority— which could only be tackled once the community was convinced that the Museum was artistically ambitious and well run.

That is the platform I laid out in the 2003 Annual Report at the end of my fi rst year. By the time this 2007 Annual Report is circulated, I will have stepped down as director, having seen the Museum through successfully achieving these three key objectives. Further, the Museum has attained a higher artistic profi le both nationally and internationally as a result of exhibitions such as Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity—one of the highlights of a year rich in superb exhibitions. The Museum’s education and public programs are also making an invaluable impact, with demand requiring that the 2008 budget be 110 percent higher than it was six years ago.

How should museums measure their performance? This is a question with which every museum wrestles. For a long time, museums were unquestioningly thought to be good in themselves. As the basis of fi nancial support broadened from a few David Gordon wealthy philanthropists to corporations, foundations, and members, museums began to receive pressure not only to measure ASSOCIATION OF ART MUSEUM DIRECTORS ANNUAL STATISTICAL SURVEY and benchmark their performance but also to Position relative to 133 other museums be more business-like. While these expectations are good in theory, museums are not businesses Space for display of art 17 and the central experience of learning, looking, On-site art storage 51 contemplating, and being moved or challenged by works of art is an individual and immeasurable one. Administrative space 28

Library space 43 That said, the majority of the members of the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) On-site education space 53 participate in an annual statistical survey in an

Attendance 26 eff ort to benchmark the measurable features of our museums. There were 133 participants in the 2007 Visitors Paying Admission 12 survey, and 62 non-participants. You can see how Visits by Members 20 the Milwaukee Art Museum ranked in the graph.

Visits by students 15 We ranked high (17th) in terms of space devoted to the display of art (121,200 sq. ft.), yet the Education visits 7 space we have dedicated for on-site education Hours open/year 13 is a problem given our extraordinary number of

Operating budget 38 educational visits.

Number of employees 29 Overall, attendance numbers at the Museum have been hovering around 300,000 for the past Cost of maintenance 30 few years, since the novelty of coming to see the Endowment 81 Calatrava-designed Quadracci Pavilion wore off . For the AAMD year under review, attendance Total earned income 24 was 287,880, which placed us 26th. It is important Store income 19 to note, however, that our Museum is very strict

Food service income 11 about counting only those who get a sticker at admissions: we do not count those who simply Rental income 4 come to take a look at the building, go to the

Contributed income 16 store or café, or come to the Museum through

10 |

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 10 2/22/08 10:11:27 AM programs, we were in the top ten for education visits, with 67,597 youth visits (now up to 70,140 in the year covered in this report). Interestingly, we are one of only twenty-six U.S. museums open every day of the week.

In spite of the fears expressed about the new building, the costs of maintenance for the Quadracci Pavilion are quite reasonable. However, the leaks and other building problems experienced over the past years in the Saarinen/Kahler Slater buildings indicate that not enough has been spent there. We are grateful that Milwaukee County and War Memorial Corporation, which are responsible for the upkeep of those buildings, are now engaged in refurbishment, but the fact that we are one of the only museums without control over the HVAC for an art collection worth nearly $1 billion leaves us uncomfortable.

Since we are poor in terms of endowment, we have to earn and raise more than others through the store, café, and rentals, and through contributions—and we rank high on those measures.

The implication for the Museum of the survey’s results were spelled out in the Strategic Plan (available under Annual Reports on our website) and discussed in last year’s Annual Report. In one word, it is endowment. The Museum’s fi nances are Georgia O’Keeff e, Poppies, 1950 (detail). Oil on too precariously based on admissions, which depend approximately 50 percent canvas.

So far, so mostly good, and 2007 ended again with a balanced budget.

In closing, I would like to pay tribute to the dedicated staff that this Museum is fortunate to have, and in particular to my colleagues on the senior management team, with whom it has been a great pleasure and privilege to work. I will miss our chocolate-fuelled Wednesday afternoon meetings. I will also miss the docents, who have been tremendously supportive, and the volunteers. The Members of the Museum are an amazing group of people that have supported the Museum by bringing their families here every year and renewing their membership year after year. They, and other donors, provide the fuel for our engine.

A great number of trustees give their time and energies to the committees that oversee important aspects of the Museum, and I would like to thank them for Andy Warhol, Brillo Box, 1964 (detail). Screenprint on wood. Gift of Mrs. Harry Lynde Bradley M1975.172 their diligent work. I know that I am something of a boat-rocker, and I thank them for putting up with a director that has sometimes made them feel uneasy. Governance is the number one priority in non-profi ts, and I am glad that the Board is planning induction sessions and, hopefully, training. In my fi ve and a half years as director, I have worked with four presidents, and I would recommend for the sake of my successor that the previous regime of three-year terms for presidents be reinstituted, if possible.

I look forward to coming to the Museum as a visitor and being able to look at our wonderful Collection of art, unhurried and unworried.

For the curatorial department, 2007 was a year of signifi cant acquisitions and celebrated exhibitions, among other major accomplishments advancing the objectives laid out in the Strategic Plan. Each of the departments has worked towards focusing the artistic program on the core collections of the Museum, and on developing the policies, procedures, and processes important to eff ectively organize the visual art program.

The curatorial staff , in concert with the Exhibitions Committee of the Board of Trustees, developed an Exhibitions Philosophy to help guide decisions on special exhibitions and to establish a set of procedures for managing the Museum’s active exhibition program.

As part of the overall strategy, we now have an area on the Mezzanine Level for the rotation of the Museum’s largest collections: prints, drawings, and photographs. This level holds both the Herzfeld Study Center and the Koss Gallery, which features special exhibitions of works on paper. With the support of the Herzfeld Foundation, the Museum inaugurated this new rotation space in April. Installations, often including recent acquisitions, will change every three months. The Museum also reconfi gured the Cudahy Gallery to serve as a rotation space for its collection of twentieth- century Studio Craft. Opened last April with an installation curated by Chipstone Werner Mantz, Bridge in Cologne, 1929 (detail). Foundation Assistant Curator Sarah Fayen, the gallery contains marvelous Gelatin silver print. Purchase, with funds from Christine Symchych and the Suzanne and Richard examples of glass and ceramics from the Collection. Now the Studio Craft gallery, Pieper Family M2007.49 2oth-Century Design gallery, and Niedecken Archives are all in contiguous spaces.

Essential to the development of the curatorial program are the images and information resources in the George Peckham Miller Art Research Library. Under the direction of Librarian Heather Winter, the library’s collection has continued to grow through generous donations and the worldwide catalogue exchange. Graduate student interns assisted in arranging and discussing with visitors the library’s research collection, while display cases were installed outside of the library to feature selections from the Museum’s collection of rare books, including Ambroise Vollard’s Paul Cézanne (Paris: Vollard Editeur, 1914) and two volumes of Wilhelm von Bode’s The Complete Work of Rembrandt (Paris: Charles Sedelmeyer, 1897–1906).

A project to upgrade archival storage continued in the Niedecken Archives, with George Niedecken, Advertisement for Palmolive, the assistance of a grant from the Mae E. Demmer Foundation. This is being 1902 (detail). Blown and drawn glass, cut and polished.

In conservation, the new lab continued to be a draw for behind-the-scenes tours, with over seven hundred people from schools and special interest groups participating. Under the direction of Senior Conservator Jim deYoung, the Conservation Plan was reviewed, and a disaster plan was developed, conservation priorities adjusted, and Collection maintenance and preservation schedules revised.

The conservation staff and several contracted specialists devoted much of their time to the conservation of Howard Jones’ Sonic II (1967–68) and Stanley Harvey K. Littleton, Lemon/Red Crown, 1989.

After a conservation survey of the photography collection, over fi ve hundred works were matted and/or conserved for exhibition.

Over the past year, the curatorial department appointed Dawn Frank to the position of registrar; she has been with the Museum for fi fteen years. Ms. Frank, in turn, hired Stephanie Hansen from the Kohler Foundation in Sheboygan, who will be actively involved in updating the Museum’s Collection database. In addition, John McKinnon joined the Museum as the curatorial assistant in modern and contemporary art. John is completing his M.A. at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and works with Chief Curator Joe Ketner.

Acquisitions The Museum has made excellent acquisitions of art over the past year. In celebration of the fi ftieth anniversary of Friends of Art, the Museum purchased a Nam Jun Paik video wall, Ruin (2001), one of the last monumental pieces by Robin Rhode, Color Chart, 2006. Digital animation, duration of 4:50, ed. 3 of 5. Purchase, with funds Paik not in a museum collection. With funds donated by the Contemporary Art from Contemporary Art Society M2007.11.1,.2 Photo courtesy the artist Society (CAS), the Museum acquired a group of eighteen fi lms by Bruce Conner, plus videos by Robin Rhode and Jason Yi. CAS also sponsored the purchase of an important painting by James Siena. Among the gifts, Hidden Resources (1974) by artist Grace Hartigan is especially notable. This gift builds upon the Museum’s collection of paintings from the 1970s by this last surviving member of the Abstract Expressionist generation. The exhibition Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity was a catalyst for three major acquisitions of Biedermeier furniture and decorative arts, further enhancing what is already recognized as the best museum collection of Biedermeier in the United States. Thanks to the generosity of the Collectors’ Corner, Fine Arts Society, Avis and James K. Heller, Suzanne and Henry Herzing, and many private individuals, the Museum acquired the sleek, oval mahogany Table (1826) by the preeminent cabinetmaker and designer Josef Ulrich Danhauser. The Museum also acquired a Jason S. Yi, Familiar, 2006. DVD, ed. 1 of 5. Purchase, with funds from Contemporary Art Pair of Night Stands (Column Cabinets) (ca. 1820) designed by Danhauser, with funds Society M2007.27 Photo courtesy the artist provided by Sharon and William Treul. The third Biedermeier acquisition was a Pair of Candelabra (ca. 1820) made by Stephan Mayerhofer, a Viennese silversmith who was among the fi rst to specialize in silver-plated pieces. The candelabra were purchased with funds from Kenneth Treis. In addition, Frank A. Murn gifted two earlier European paintings: the allegorical painting Sloth (ca. 1642), recently identifi ed as a work by the Antwerp painter Jacques de l’Ange, and a sixteenth- century Italian Portrait of a Young Woman (ca. 1520), attributed to Lorenzo Lotto. With the steadfast support of the Richard and Ethel Herzfeld Foundation, we have been building a world-class collection of mid-century American street photography; this year we added nine works by Saul Leiter, as well as vintage prints by masters of the medium: Lisette Model, Louis Faurer, Ted Croner, and William Klein. In addition, we enhanced our holdings of European photographs from between the wars—an era of vital signifi cance both for the photographic medium Stephan Mayerhofer, Sr.; produced by Mayer- hofer & Klinkosch, Pair of Candelabra, ca. 1820 and the history of Modern art—with an exquisite photogram by the ever-inventive (detail). Silver-plated copper. Purchase, with funds from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, László Moholy-Nagy and a visually stunning work by Werner Mantz. Among many Kenneth R. Treis Fund M2007.50a,b. Photo by Lois Lammerhuber. other important works, the collection also received an entire set of photographs by Milwaukee artist Stanley Ryan Jones of Milwaukee’s punk and New Wave subculture of the 1970s and 1980s. The collection of prints and drawings continued to grow with purchases and generous gifts from the community. Important purchases included Warrington

14 |

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 14 2/22/08 10:12:12 AM Colescott’s suite of seven etchings, My German Trip (1992), purchased with funds from Print Forum. Gifts ranged from the sixteenth-century engraving of Henri II by Nicolas Beatrizet (gift of the Hockerman Charitable Trust) to exciting modern and contemporary works, including Sol LeWitt’s Monochromatic Five Pointed Star (1995–96) and Roy Lichtenstein’s Imperfect Diptych 57 ³⁄₈ × 93 ¾" (1988), both donated by Rockwell Automation. The American collections were enhanced with an important acquisition of a rare landscape by Robert S. Duncanson, Minnenopa Falls (1862). Duncanson is one of the fi nest landscape painters of his generation and is quite remarkable as an accomplished African American artist, who carved out a career in the antebellum era working in the so-called Hudson River Valley tradition. The Museum also received several generous gifts this year that added depth and interest to the American decorative arts and design collections. A side chair designed in 1912 by George Washington Maher for Rockledge, the Homer, Minnesota, home of Ernest L. King, is considered to be among the best examples of Maher’s “Motif Rhythm Theory” design. Given in honor of former Museum curator Cheryl Robertson, this gift came from American Decorative Art 1900 Foundation. Longtime friends of the Museum, Bob and JoAnn Wagner donated an important nineteenth-century

work that was a centerpiece of the Museum’s 2003 exhibition American Fancy. This Attributed to David Gilly, Chair, Berlin, ca. 1800. Black polished beech, modern upholstery. Gift of “Fancy Sample Box,” one of only two examples known in the country (the other is René von Schleinitz Memorial Fund, by exchange M2004.593 at the American Folk Art Museum in New York), marks the Museum as a leader in Photo by Lois Lammerhuber collecting mid-nineteenth-century “Fancy” wares.

Exhibitions The Museum’s exhibition season in the Baker/Rowland Galleries opened with the groundbreaking exhibition Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity. Organized by Museum curator Laurie Winters in collaboration with the Albertina in Vienna, the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin, and the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the exhibition redefi ned the Biedermeier period as a precursor to modernism and twentieth-century design. The exhibition attracted an unprecedented degree of publicity, from, among others, Art in America, Apollo, The Burlington Magazine, Frankfurter Allegemeine, The New York Times, and Der Spiegel. Writing in The New Saul Leiter, Snow, 1960 (detail). Silver dye bleach print, printed later. Purchase, Richard and Ethel Republic, art critic Jed Perl called the exhibition a “triumph,” and stated that Herzfeld Foundation Acquisition Fund M2006.27 “curators, administrators, and trustees across the country should take note of what is happening in Milwaukee. The city has produced a blockbuster with brains—a blockbuster that honors the audience.” The exhibition catalogue likewise received awards, including the Vienna Art Book Award for the Best Art Book of 2007 in Europe on a topic before 1848. In September, In Living Color: Photographs by Saul Leiter premiered to widespread acclaim. The photographer spoke to a packed auditorium, endearing himself to the audience with a smart—not to mention hilarious—take on art and life. The exhibition, organized by photography curator Lisa Hostetler, was the fi rst solo museum show devoted to Leiter, whose pioneering color photography of the 1950s and 1960s presented familiar urban structures as yawning swaths of color in images that recall the lyricism and spontaneity of Abstract Expressionist painting.

Photography © The Art Institute of Art Gallery, Buff alo, New York, brought to the United States the fi rst exhibition Chicago. © 2006 The Estate of Francis Bacon / ARS, New York / DACS, London to examine the formative career of English painter Francis Bacon, Francis Bacon: Paintings from the 1950s. With approximately fi fty paintings assembled by the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, East Norwich, UK, curated by Michael Peppiatt and coordinated at the Museum by Chief Curator Joe Ketner, the exhibition traced the emerging vision of this painter whose haunting renderings of screaming popes, howling baboons, and tortured souls evoked the angst of post-World War II Europe.

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 15 2/22/08 10:12:22 AM The spring feature exhibition brought Impressionist painting to Milwaukee with Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist Landscape—the fi rst exhibition to examine Camille Pissarro’s transformation from a traditional landscape painter to a daring pioneer of Impressionism, during a pivotal decade in his career, 1864–74. Curated by the Baltimore Museum of Art and coordinated at the Museum by curator Laurie Winters, the exhibition displayed more than forty of the artist’s most beautiful and innovative canvases from major museums and private collectors around the world. This exhibition exceeded attendance projections and attracted enthusiastic crowds of Milwaukeeans for an opening night lecture by the artist’s great-granddaughter Lélia Pissarro and a closing day lecture by his great-grandson Joachim Pissarro, a renowned curator and art historian of Impressionist painting. In May, the exhibition Adolph Gottlieb: Early Prints opened in the Koss Gallery. This exhibition of Gottlieb’s rare early work featured all forty of the images the artist is known to have created from 1933 to 1946, including his evocative “Pictographs,” the universal visual language of invented symbols he began to develop in 1941. The Museum was fortunate to host Sanford Hirsch, executive director of the Esther and Adolph Gottlieb Foundation and organizer of the exhibition, who provided the public with an illuminating lecture about Gottlieb.

In fall, former Chipstone curator Nationaux / Art Resource, NY. Glenn Adamson (now head of graduate studies at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London) introduced a contemporary artist whose work opens up the category of furniture to an unprecedented range of psychological and conceptual content. Gord Peteran: Furniture Meets Its Maker was supported in part by the Windgate Charitable Foundation, whose generous grant made possible a fi ve-venue national tour and an exceptional catalogue of the same title. The catalogue was authored primarily by Mr. Adamson and designed by the Museum’s director of design and publications, Dan Saal. The catalogue won Best of Show in HOW magazine’s annual In-House Design Award competition. From this exhibition, the Museum acquired Peteran’s A Table Made of Wood (1999), whose traditional demi-lune shape is built up from scraps of wood.

White III, an independent scholar working with the Chipstone Foundation, presented new insights into the ways colonial furniture-makers reacted to their new homes in America. The spring exhibition, Going Out of Style: 400 Years of Changing Tastes in Furniture, rather than pointing out the signifi cance of the styles through time, presented period commentary that criticized each style as it fell out of fashion. Chipstone curator Sarah Fayen presented examples of furniture drawn from the collections of the Museum, Chipstone, and private lenders.

Art Lives Here at the Milwaukee Art Museum—and engages visitors of all ages through our education and public programs. This year, we expanded the Museum’s educational off erings to further facilitate visitors in making connections with the art. There were new gallery classes for adults, enhanced technological aids, and opportunities to make art inspired by works in the Collection and feature exhibitions. Adult participation in gallery talks and art appreciation classes more than doubled from 1,386 to 3,540 participants this fi scal year. We introduced new programs such as Elderhostel Days of Discovery, comprising daylong explorations of the feature exhibitions and Collection, lively Book Salons, and Express Talks in English and French held in conjunction with Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist Landscape. Art lovers spent an hour a week discussing one work of art in the new Looking at Art class, and more than twenty experts in the arts—artists and art historians—from A young guest drawing at Target around the world came to the Museum to speak to often sold-out audiences. Family Sundays Visitors were aff orded new opportunities to take charge of their own art experiences through interactive technologies available online, in the galleries, and in the Museum’s public spaces. If visitors missed a lecture, they could take a tour with the experts on an audio tour, now downloadable from audible.com. We introduced podcasts and streaming video with the Saul Leiter and Francis Bacon exhibitions, and related articles, video, and audio recordings were available through our website. The UBS Francis Bacon Learning Lounge off ered visitors a moment’s pause after the exhibition to have coff ee, talk, enjoy art journals and catalogues, send exhibition postcards to friends, or explore the Francis Bacon website, adding their comments to the Museum’s blog and seeing the latest Bacon- inspired videos from YouTube. The Museum’s historically strong school program continues to be the core of the education program. Growth in school participation was one hallmark of the Dancing at Target Family Sundays impressive attendance, totaled at the end of fi scal year 2007: Over sixty thousand student visits occurred in the twelve months prior to August 31, 2006, up from 22,646 in fi scal year 2000/01. Fifty-four percent of all Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) visited the Museum during the same period—nearly double from fi scal year 2001/02. Works in the Collection and feature exhibitions inspire these young students to challenge themselves and to see the world through a diff erent lens. High school students in the ArtWorks program looked to the art of Francis Bacon to create life-

The work of Kara Walker informed the mural made by the ArtXpress students for placement on a county bus. Students in the Junior Docent School Program, as part of their graduation, re-created their own interpretations of works of art they had selected to study. The art in the galleries also serves as a catalyst to dramatic change for another community of children that greatly benefi t from both looking at and creating art, resulting in the Museum hosting for a second year an art therapy program with the Epilepsy Foundation of Southeast Wisconsin. The family and community events held in conjunction with our school programs are integral to the students’ experience of art and were also well attended. Four hundred students and their families came to the Museum to participate in Wisconsin Writes. Visiting the Museum with their families on fi eld trips through the nine-week after-school library program, Art Aloud, were 454 students. Approximately nine hundred junior docents gave tours to their friends and families as part of their graduation from the three-year gallery program. Over eight hundred people fi lled the Museum for the SHARP literacy end-of-the-year event, which allowed students to show their families the art they had studied. More than fourteen hundred students and their families from throughout Wisconsin attended the Milwaukee Bucks player reading to opening of the Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition and Awards Ceremonies in January. MPS students at Bucks for Books Finally, the number of schools and community groups participating in Target Family Sundays events doubled in the past year. All of these events provide opportunities for parents to support their child’s education, and often lead to greater involvement in the Museum. Alessandro Storniolo’s love of the Museum’s drawing classes eventually involved the whole family. “He encouraged us a lot,” said Alessandro’s father, Carl. “We were coming here more and more, so it made sense to join. For a family, a membership is invaluable. Now we visit two or three times a month, mainly because the kids enjoy it so much.” Through its Public Programs, the Museum continues to engage and inspire Milwaukee’s community of local artists. Over fi fty area artists created new works based on artistic challenges developed by our co-presenters Cedar Block, the Milwaukee-based presenting company, and were highlighted in special late- A member of the Kluge Drummers at Target Family Sundays: A Celebration night celebrations and exhibitions at the Museum. Milwaukee Street Milwaukee of African American Art designed around the Saul Leiter exhibition and Three Degrees of Separation, held in conjunction with the Francis Bacon exhibition, drew over thirteen hundred young artists and friends to the Museum. This year also marked the inaugural season of Sounds of Saturday. These Saturday afternoon concerts showcase musicians from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee’s Peck School of the Arts. In addition, MAM Film continues to promote fi lm by local and regional artists, such as Alan Stenum, Chris Strompolous, and Eric Zala’s Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation. Finally, our collaboration with the Milwaukee International Film Festival now extends year-round to include a 24-hour fi lm contest, the outdoor Laugh Your Shorts Off screening (among other outdoor screenings in the summer), and individual fi lm nights curated in conjuction with the feature exhibitions. As a premier educational resource, the Museum continues to grow, and its collaborations with community groups throughout the region such as the An ArtXpress student drawing Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, Cedar Block, First Stage Children’s Theater, and Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, among others, which make it possible for the Museum to off er outstanding fi lm, theater, and music programs, further cement the Museum as a gathering place for the community to experience the arts. Finally, none of these programs would be possible without the generosity of our sponsors and the dedication of the docent corps of volunteers. Thank you.

Most of this Annual Report recounts the Museum’s many achievements in 2006–2007. This section applauds the generous donors who made these accomplishments possible. Their gifts large and small underwrote everything that occurred at the Museum during the past fi scal year, from outstanding feature exhibitions to the meticulous conservation eff orts carried out behind the scenes.

The Museum is not eligible for funding from UPAF or United Way and receives diminishing support from governmental bodies. Thus, it relies heavily on the many individuals, foundations, and businesses that recognize the Museum’s importance to the community with their gifts. The following reviews the breadth and depth of their help in 2006–2007.

2006–2007 Giving More than nineteen thousand Members and donors—7.6 percent more than the previous year—contributed a total of $6,994,639. This total includes $4,701,042 for the Museum’s membership and annual campaign, pushing it past its $4.68 million goal. Members who give at higher levels are part of our annual campaign. Led by Trustee Ellen Glaisner and a dedicated committee of volunteers, the annual fund once again was the Museum’s principal source of support. TOTAL MUSEUM CONTRIBUTIONS $8,000,000

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 35 2/22/08 11:42:13 AM Membership The importance of the Museum’s Members is immeasurable. They are an integral part of one of Milwaukee’s most celebrated institutions. The Museum depends upon Members at all levels to help sustain and strengthen its presence in the community, locally, as well as nationally and internationally. It is the Museum’s responsibility as an arts institution and cultural cornerstone to oversee a world- renowned collection of art, deliver recognized scholarship in the fi eld, present groundbreaking and historically signifi cant exhibitions, and delight, inspire, and teach a diverse audience—all of which is made possible through Member support. Museum Members, in turn, receive a variety of benefi ts, including free general admission, discounts in the Museum Store and on programs and classes, as well as access to exclusive Member-only events. Membership grew in 2007, increasing from 17,970 in 2006 to 19,220 at the end of 2007. Much of this growth can be attributed to the caliber of the feature exhibitions: Biedermeier, Francis Bacon, and Pissarro. Many visitors became Members during the Pissarro exhibition—over 750 through the mail, another 1,000 on-site. In fact, attendance at the Pissarro Member Preview Celebration was record setting at Members at the Member Preview more than 1,200. Celebration for Francis Bacon: Paintings from the 1950s The Museum hosted events to show its appreciation to longtime Members, and to introduce new Members to the Museum. Over three thousand people who have been Members, consecutively, for twenty years or more were invited to attend events celebrating their loyal and enduring support. Guests were treated to a complimentary brunch or reception, followed by a private tour of Pissarro. Over four hundred guests attended a special New Member Evening, consisting of a special lecture on Pissarro, tours of the exhibition and the Museum’s Collection galleries, and light refreshments. Children and those young at heart created Parisian-inspired postcards to mail to friends and relatives. The Museum counts itself very fortunate to have such a longstanding and supportive base of Members. Their generosity contributes to the success of the Museum in serving the community as a gathering place to experience the arts.

Tin Eng at the President’s Circle Preview Celebration for Biedermeier: The Invention President’s Circle of Simplicity At the heart of every great institution is a core of great supporters—a circle of civic and philanthropic leaders committed to its success. For the Museum, that group is the President’s Circle. Everyone who enjoyed Museum programs during the past year benefi ted from their generosity. Its 284 Members gave, in contributions of $2,500 or more each, a total of $2,948,148 to the 2006–2007 annual fund, providing 63 percent of its record-setting total. President’s Circle Members participated in the Museum’s programs as avidly as they supported them, celebrating feature exhibitions at exclusive premieres and marking Museum milestones at special events. Board of Trustees President Kent Velde and Trustee Ellen Glaisner spearheaded the 2006–2007 fundraising eff orts among President’s Circle Members, increasing membership by 5 percent. President’s Circle Members enjoyed private tours of exhibitions, celebrations, and the annual President’s Circle party. Ray Kehm, chair of the Docent Council and board member of Print Forum

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 36 2/22/08 3:35:55 PM Sponsorships 2006–2007 brought a high point in the Argosy Foundation’s long history of exhibition support at the Museum. Its backing for Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity, aided by the Lai Family Foundation and others, launched the exhibition on its way to international success. Trustee Lynde B. Uihlein and UBS, a much- appreciated newcomer to exhibition sponsorship at the Museum, underwrote the Francis Bacon: Paintings from the 1950s exhibition in winter. In June, Wisconsin Energy Corporation Foundation and M&I Foundation teamed up to bring Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist Landscape to Milwaukee. Fortunately, these major exhibition sponsors were not alone. All together, more than sixty foundations, corporations, and governmental agencies enriched the lives of children and adults throughout the region through their support of Museum programs in 2006–2007—from the education programs sponsored by Harley-Davidson Foundation to a new collaborative program for middle-schoolers sponsored by Rockwell Automation. (For a full list of these sponsors, see page 41.)

Legacy Society Thelma Sias of Wisconsin One of the most enduring ways to support the Museum is a planned gift, made Energy Corporation, co-sponsor of Pissarro: Creating the from assets remaining after death. Using wills, trusts, insurance, retirement plan Impressionist Landscape assets, or other assets, planned gift donors receive valuable tax advantages while providing support that benefi ts Museum visitors for years to come. In fi scal year 2007, the Museum received $374,000 from planned gifts. Six Museum friends also arranged planned gifts of their own for the future, raising the Legacy Society membership to more than ninety. (For information on estate gifts, request the Museum’s new Planned Giving brochure from Director of Planned Giving Mary Albrecht at 414-224-3245.) Over the long term, an increased endowment is key to the Museum’s success. Its $29.2 million endowment, while growing, still generates less than 10 percent of the annual operating budget, trailing all comparable U.S. art museums. Thus, building an endowment remains an important priority for the years ahead. Lawrence Feldmesser of UBS, sponsor of Francis Bacon: Paintings from the 1950s Recognizing Leadership Outstanding supporters set powerful examples for others. The Museum in this year singled out two dedicated backers with special awards named in their honor.

The new Jean Friedlander Award for Exceptional Service, created by the Museum’s Trustees, recognizes its namesake for more than fi fty years of volunteer leadership: as a trustee, co-chair of the Museum’s fi rst endowment campaign, annual fund campaign volunteer, docent, Print Forum Member, and capital campaign leader. Appropriately, Jean was the award’s fi rst recipient. It will be presented periodically to others whose sustained eff orts, like Jean’s, lift the Museum and the volunteers who advance it.

With the Photography Council, the Museum also launched the Richard and Ethel Jean Friedlander, recipient of the Herzfeld Award to recognize outstanding support for the Museum’s photography fi rst Jean Friedlander Award for collection. Richard Herzfeld gained fame as a business executive and civic leader Exceptional Service in Milwaukee, but he was also an avid photographer. In the past decade, the foundation has helped the Museum acquire more than one hundred outstanding photographs, building a collection that has become one of the Museum’s strengths. The Richard and Ethel Herzfeld Foundation was the fi rst recipient of the award, which will be presented periodically to those who make signifi cant advances in the Museum’s photography collection possible.

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 43 2/22/08 1:00:19 PM support groups African American Art Alliance Founded in 1990, the African American Art Alliance (AAAA) seeks to engage the community and provide a forum for education, discussion, and enjoyment of African American art and artists. The Alliance is also dedicated to supporting the Museum in the acquisition of African and African American art for its Collection.

A key focus of AAAA this year was the development of a new African American Art Tour—an addition to the Museum’s self-guided Collection brochure series— providing visitors with an informative and engaging way to enjoy works of African American art on view in the Collection galleries. Also through the assistance of AAAA, Song of the Towers (1966), a painting by Aaron Douglas, was given to the Museum on long-term loan from the State of Wisconsin. This signifi cant piece is a signature work of the Harlem Renaissance. It is currently traveling with the fi rst major retrospective of Douglas’s work, and is included in the exhibition catalogue.

A notable highlight of the 2006–2007 season was a lecture by Kehinde Wiley, an exceptional young artist in the contemporary art scene today. Hosted by AAAA in March, this much-anticipated visit served as a fi tting follow-up to last year’s acquisition by the Museum of Wiley’s painting, St. Dionysus (2006), a gift Dorothy Nelle Sanders and from AAAA. Following this popular lecture, Wiley joined members of AAAA and Willodene Harris at the African American Art Alliance annual the Contemporary Arts Society for a dinner program. Another artist, Robert S. meeting Duncanson, was honored at AAAA’s Annual Meeting in June, which featured the newly acquired painting Minnenopa Falls (1862). Distinguished for his largely self- taught still lifes, landscapes, portraits, and genre subjects, Duncanson was one of the fi rst black American professional painters to gain international acclaim. The event also included the election of new board members Nancy Simuel, Mutopé Johnson, and ShaRon Williams.

The season concluded with the kickoff of Quad A Quartets, a new quarterly program series for AAAA Members.

American Heritage Society

Barbara Fuldner, AHS president, The American Heritage Society (AHS) supports the Museum’s collection of and Joe Gromacki, board member American fi ne and decorative arts from the colonial era into the twentieth century through the development and/or sponsorship of educational programs, workshops, trips, acquisitions, and conservation eff orts.

In 2007, AHS Members enjoyed a year full of exceptional programming opportunities. The group coordinated tours of important collections at private homes, including the Frank Lloyd Wright Frederick Bogk House and Richard Philipp Sarah Weil House— both of which are owned by AHS Members gracious enough to open up their homes for the Annual Meeting. In addition, the owners of an outstanding collection of early American furniture and English decorative arts invited their fellow AHS Members to their home for an informative and intimate tour. Finally, a trip to Chicago’s Astor Street District included tours of rare and exciting private homes and collections, thanks to the generosity of another AHS Member.

AHS also went behind the scenes with the Museum’s conservation department for Artist Gord Peteran and guest curator Glenn Adamson at an introduction to the care of artworks, and behind closed (cabinet) doors during reception co-sponsored by AHS a curator-led tour of the American collections. Throughout the year, the group and CAS continued to support the Museum’s exhibitions with a variety of programs, from lectures on changing tastes in furniture and the pathways of colonial furniture makers to an up-close and personal interview with artist Gord Peteran on his furniture-inspired artworks.

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 44 2/22/08 3:44:20 PM Contemporary Art Society The Contemporary Art Society (CAS) promotes the appreciation of contemporary art through the sponsorship of programs that bring renowned artists, critics, and curators to the Museum, and by supporting the Museum in its acquisition of important works of contemporary art. This special interest group provides a forum for emerging enthusiasts and dedicated collectors alike.

CAS kicked off the year’s programs in September by visiting the studios of Milwaukee artists Scott and Tyson Reeder, Fred Stonehouse, and Jason Yi. In November, Gregory S. Athnos, professor emeritus of music at North Park University, Illinois, spoke at the Museum about the relationship between the visual arts and music. During the winter months, CAS sponsored a symposium in conjunction with the Francis Bacon exhibition that focused on the issues facing painters today. Co-moderated by Chief Curator Joe Ketner and artist Michelle Grabner, panelists Brad Kahlhamer, José Lerma, and Fred Tomaselli spoke about meaning, content, and imagery in contemporary painting. In early March, CAS co-sponsored with the African American Art Alliance a lecture by artist Kehinde Wiley, who spoke about his larger than life-sized paintings of young African American men. Finally,

a discussion was held with Robert Greenstreet, dean of the School of Architecture Tim Hawkinson touring CAS and Urban Planning and director of Planning and Design of Milwaukee, about his Members through his Überorgan installation at the J. Paul Getty plans to revitalize the city. Museum, Los Angeles CAS also supported the Museum’s acquisition of a painting by James Siena and videos by Bruce Conner, Robin Rhode, and Jason Yi. Members of the planning committee for the forthcoming Tenth Benefi t Art Auction were busy all year securing art donations for the biennial event, traveling to Chicago and New York, as well as accompanying CAS Members on their trip to Los Angeles, where they visited numerous museums and private collections.

Collectors’ Corner The Collectors’ Corner began supporting the Museum in 1948, when a group of women decided to form an organization devoted to the study of decorative arts and antiques. Today, Collectors’ Corner Members continue to develop engaging CAS Members enjoying a studio visit with artist Fred Stonehouse programs that serve to expand and deepen the public’s appreciation for the decorative arts, and support the Museum in making acquisitions of important decorative arts pieces for its Collection. In 2007, Members enjoyed a slate of exciting and wide-ranging events, from a visit to a nationally renowned private Arts and Crafts collection in Lake Bluff , Illinois, to curator-led tours of the decorative arts exhibitions at the Museum. Visiting scholars including Stephen Sennott and Timothy J. Whealon gave lectures on Chicago architecture and eighteenth-century antiques, and Collectors’ Corner Members Marilyn Bradley and Barbara Morris spoke on folk art and contemporary crafts. The year closed in May with a rousing talk from Chief Educator Barbara Brown Lee on Camille Pissarro.

Fine Arts Society Founded in 1987, the Fine Arts Society (FAS) is a group of European-art enthusiasts CAS Members Tony Krausen, that sponsor and support related educational programs and lectures, exhibitions, Sue Frautschi, and Cyntia Stoll trips, and acquisitions by the Museum, which serve to increase community knowledge and appreciation for European art.

The Fine Arts Society launched its 2006–2007 year with an outstanding series of lectures held in conjunction with the groundbreaking exhibition Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity. Curator Laurie Winters gave Members a private tour of the exhibition during FAS’s Annual Meeting in September. James Zemaitis, vice

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 45 2/22/08 3:44:31 PM president and director of twentieth-century design at Sotheby’s, led a daylong seminar at the end of September on “how to” collect Biedermeier furniture in tandem with modern European design. New York dealer and social historian Angus Wilkie spoke in October about the Biedermeier period within the historical context of the nineteenth century. In November, the holidays brought the second annual installation of the Neapolitan crèche, which is now part of the Museum’s Collection, providing a festive opportunity for a lecture by renowned crèche expert Eric Cirilano. Celebrations continued in December with Laurie Winters introducing the upcoming Pissarro exhibition at the group’s annual holiday lecture/luncheon at the Woman’s Club of Wisconsin.

The New Year opened with international fl are when Laurie Winters and FAS Members attended the Biedermeier opening at the Albertina in Vienna. In February, a slideshow together with Viennese sweets re-created the excitement of the exhibition opening for those who were unable to attend. In March, Ian Kennedy, curator of European painting and sculpture at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, lectured on twelve seventeenth- and early-eighteenth-century Italian paintings lent to the Museum from Houston collector Mark Haukohl; a sumptuous Italian dinner followed the lecture. April featured a behind-the-scenes tour of the FAS Members Mary Rotheray, conservation lab with Chief Conservator Jim deYoung. Sheila Schmitz-Lanners, JoAnna Poehlmann, and Ken Tries at the During the summer, FAS again organized a series of lectures to complement the Biedermeier fundraiser Pissarro exhibition. Among the exceptional speakers were Katy Rothkopf, curator of European painting and sculpture at the Baltimore Museum of Art and organizing curator of the exhibition; Christopher Lloyd, former surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures and contributor to the exhibition catalogue; Richard R. Brettell, Margaret McDermott Distinguished Professor of Art and Aesthetics at the University of Texas at Dallas; and Joachim Pissarro, great-grandson of the artist and curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. And fi nally, FAS concluded its busy year in July with “A Day in the Country” at the farm of FAS Member Frank Murn.

Friends of Art As the Museum’s largest volunteer support group, Friends of Art (FOA) presents FAS Members Christy Foote and Eileen Jezo at the Biedermeier numerous special events throughout the year to engage the community, expand fundraiser the Museum’s audience, and generate funds to support the Museum and its Art Acquisition and Exhibition Fund. In 2006–2007 alone, FOA events raised over $350,000 to support the Museum.

The FOA event season began in October with the celebrated return of the Grape Lakes Food & Wine Festival. The 19th annual series of events was chaired by Jon Hopkins and began, as always, with the festive Grape Stomp Twilight 5K Run and 2-mile walk. The next evening, guests enjoyed the Wine and Dine Gourmet Dinner and Collectors Fine Wine Auction at the University Club. Chaired by Alison Culver, the feast featured nine courses prepared by Milwaukee’s premier chefs, with nine wine pairings. For the Grand Tasting, which concluded the festival with over eighty wines from around the world as well as culinary delights, event chair Gregory L. Meyers encouraged guests to “Taste It, Love It, Buy It!”

FAS Members at the Biedermeier Ornaments & Adornments kicked off the holiday season with the mid-November fundraiser art and gift sale in Windhover Hall. Julia DeCicco and Kate Ojeda chaired the 9th annual, three-day event, which included seventy-fi ve juried artists. Chairs Holly Segel and Joe Massimino, stressed the “fun” part of fundraising in April at the 48th annual Bal du Lac, FOA’s premier gala fundraiser. For the fi rst time, Bal guests were treated to dinner in the Baker/Rowland Galleries.

This incredible response was also largely due to the unprecedented support of 2007’s LFOA presenting sponsors: Quad/Graphics and Milwaukee Magazine.

Also notable in 2007, FOA President Ed Hanrahan led the kickoff of a series of festivities surrounding FOA’s 50th anniversary. This yearlong celebration, chaired by Ed Hashek, was developed to recognize FOA’s collective contributions to the Museum, totaling nearly $6 million since their inception in 1957 in support of various exhibitions and the acquisition of hundreds of artworks for the Collection. FOA50 events were also focused on recognizing the enthusiastic support of the community and the eff orts of literally thousands of volunteers that made FOA’s accomplishment of these milestones possible. A community day was hosted by FOA in September, allowing the general public to enjoy free admission to the Museum’s Collection galleries along with a wide range of family friendly activities. The event brought more than two thousand visitors to the Museum.

Key FOA volunteers and business partners were recognized during the Annual Meeting for their commitment and eff orts in helping FOA accomplish its 2006–2007 fundraising goals. Volunteer Service Awards were presented to Ann and John Children of all ages enjoying Krueger and Linda Boxill, recognizing their work on the children’s art center at painting on the glass wall at LFOA. Kahler Slater was selected as the 2007 Partner in Art Award winner for their Lakefront Festival of Arts long-term commitment to the Museum and ongoing support of numerous FOA events.

2007 annual report | 47

74623 MAM AR07-Body.indd 47 2/22/08 1:00:05 PM March’s annual event was the highlight of the season, during which Photography Council Members voted to support the acquisition of one of four photographs by emerging Midwest photographers. The selected artist was Jen Davis, but—in what is fast becoming the norm for the event—the generosity of individual Council Members enabled the Museum to acquire the remaining three photographs as well. In April, the Photography Council collaborated with the Contemporary Art Society for a special tour of Madeleine and David Lubar’s outstanding collection of photographs. The opening of the rotation space for the Museum’s collection of prints, drawings, and photographs on the Mezzanine Level occasioned another collaboration, this time with the Museum’s Print Forum. The two groups enjoyed talks by curators Lisa Hostetler and Mary Weaver Chapin while enjoying hors d’oeuvres—and each other’s company. The fi nal event of the season was a party at which Members shared their favorite photographs of the year.

Print Forum Print Forum enjoyed another busy year, beginning with a private “Curator’s Choice” lecture in the Herzfeld Study Center in September. Mary Weaver Chapin, assistant curator of prints and drawings, discussed some of her favorite works in Opening reception for In Living Color: Photographs by Saul Leiter following the collection, ranging from Renaissance drawings on long-term loan from the the artist’s lecture, sponsored by the Stephen Solovy Art Foundation to contemporary prints by local and international Photography Council artists. In October, Gillian Saunders, curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, provided a public lecture titled “Prints Now: Directions and Defi nitions.” Saunders’ talk explored the radical transformation of printmaking over the last two decades, and was particularly well-attended by local printmakers and students from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. In November, independent scholar Laurie A. Stein provided Print Forum Members with a private tour of the exhibition, Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity. Stein focused on the works on paper in the exhibition with her talk, “Biedermeier Drawings: Mirrors of Individuality.” The Print Forum annual holiday party was hosted by Charles and Cathy Wickler.

Engraving. financial report Gift of the Hockerman Charitable Trust M2007.51 Financially, the Milwaukee Art Museum concluded fiscal year 2007 with a balanced budget and a strong balance sheet, bolstered by the receipt of capital campaign pledges and a continued reduction in debt (which was entirely paid off by December 31, 2007, after the end of our fiscal year). Net assets remained steady at $130 million as of year-end.

Highlights of the 2007 operating year include • Transfer of $294,000 from operations to a Board-designated reserve for future operating needs, made possible primarily by reducing spending and controlling costs • Successfully meeting the annual campaign and membership goals, increasing 6% from prior year. Continuing success of the store, café, and facility rental, which contributed a gross profit of $1.9 million, increasing 12% from prior year • Growth in sponsorship revenue of 14% from prior year ($2.0 million to $2.3 million) for both curatorial and education programs • Significant increase in exhibition sales and fees (increase of $0.7 million or 317% from prior year) and exhibition expenses (increase of $1.1 million or 83% from prior year) primarily due to the Biedermeier exhibition The investment portfolio experienced solid performance in 2007, earning a total return of $3.5 million—an increase of $1.4 million (64%) from the prior year return. Total market value of investments increased from $27.8 million to $31.9 million (14.8%) from 2006 to 2007. Each year, 5% of the three-year average of the endowment funds restricted for operations is distributed to the operating fund. In 2007, this amounted to 7% of operations. The Museum’s ability to raise and earn revenues sufficient to cover operating expenses will continue to be a challenge in the years ahead. As the Museum plans for its future, successfully accomplishing its goals will depend on continuing to expand the visitor experience, grow its Member and donor base, and build a larger endowment. financial statements MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM CONDENSED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION As of August 31, 2007
