January 1 - March 31? 1970
DEVELOPMENT OFFICE
April 10, 1970
Muclg. of the first quarter of 1970 has been devoted to making sure that our obligations to HUD and the Prudential Insurance Company of America are fulfilled with a regard to their support of the exhibition of Paolo Soleri. We have also been seeking additional avenues of funding for a traveling exhibition of the Paolo Soleri show.
Additionally, considerable time has been spent on seeking funds for the Special Projects Department, particularly their Summer Enrichment programs. A request for $113,000 to cover these costs has been filed with Dr. James Jones, Special Assistant to the Mayor for Youth Opportunity Services. The proposal covers funding for 20 mixed media workshops through¬ out the Washington community, two photography workshops and one filmmaking workshop.
A request has also been filed with the D. C. Commission on the Arts requesting a matching grant of $6,000 to inaugurate a series of 20 programs in the black arts.
A request has also been filed with the Queene Ferry Coonley Foundation for a $2,000 grant for an emergency discretionary fund for the Executive Vice President for the 1970 calendar year. This fund would cover either emergencies or unforeseen opportunities which arise from time to time and cannot be met through the regular budget.
The Development Office has also been engaged in laying plans for corporate support with the Corporate Subcommittee of the Development Com- mitee and organized two luncheons for key leaders of the Washington business community. These luncheons were generously underwritten by a member of the Board of Governors.
The Development Office has also presented the Development Committee with a comprehensive plan, including goals, for a fall campaign.
The Development Office has also worked closely with the Manager of Public Information on general Gallery publicity as well as the new Corcoran Newsletter.
Prospect research for our capital campaign is proceeding on schedule. Over one third of the research on individuals has been completed. This page was intentionally removed due to a research restriction on all Corcoran Gallery of Art Development and Membership records.
Please contact the Public Services and Instruction Librarian with any questions. Quarterly Report Development Office April, May and June, 1970
During this period the Development Office has been involved with the following projects:
1. Obtained underwriting for the Soleri exhibition at the Whitney Museum. It was to our interests to insure underwriting for this project was made available to the Whitney because the Corcoran receives a fee of $6,000 for this exhibition. We were instrumental in leading the Whitney to Pittsburgh Plate Glass who are now sponsoring ^heir exhibition.
2. Filed a proposal requesting a total of $75jOOOj $25,000 a year for three years, with the Hattie M. Strong Foundation for underwriting the Corcoran's education programs. Although this proposal was turned down, Strong will reconsider it in the fall.
3. Made a request for and received film equipment and supplies for the Special Projects department workshops from the National Association of Photographic Manufacturers, Inc. Also obtained minor funding from local food chains for the refreshments served at the opening of the "Art and Youth" exhibition opening.
4. Explored in some depth the possibility of government funding, particularly HEW, for Art School programs and facilities. Responses were unvaryingly negative. Also explored the possibilities of government funding for an art program to be held at the Minimum Security Facility at Lorton. This program is now being done through Special Projects.
5. Obtained funding for a traveling exhibition of the Paolo Soleri show from the Prudential Insurance Company of America. The amount of this grant is up to $14,000, dependent upon the Gallery’s final cost estimates.
6. In the absence of a Membership Secretary during this quarter, the Manager of Development has been deeply involved in plans for a new member drive in October, including the recruitment of volunteer workers by telethon and the planning of a Corcoran Open House as a feature of Membership Month.
7. Plans for the National Committee for the Corcoran have been developed and initial meeting held in June.
8. Identification, evaluation and some assignments of special prospects have been made both for donations and for Membership in the National Committee for the Corcoran. Quarterly Report Development Office page 2
9. The Manager of Development has attended the United Arts Organization meetings to insure that those plans are in harmony with the overall Corcoran development plans.
10. Plans for the capital fund drive are proceeding on schedule. Detailed outlines for the Gallery’s case statement have been developed. Prospect research for the campaign on both foundations and individuals is proceeding on schedule.
3 Quarterly Report Development Office July, August and September, 1970
During this period the Development Office has been involved in cultivating various foundations and making specific proposals to the Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation, the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and a second proposal to the Hattie M. Strong Foundation.
Continuing work has been done on Special Gift prospects annual giving and the assignment of these prospects.
Corporate solicitation for annual giving has been slow in starting but with Mr. C. D. Kaufmann now chairman, the Development Office with the assistance of Niles Bond has developed plans for Mr. Kaufmann's consideration.
Meetings have been continuing with the United Arts Organization which, it is hoped, will develop into a long term source of support.
Much time has been spent with the Membership Secretary in developing plans and materials for all phases of Membership Month and the Corcoran Now Open House.
Continuing preparation and staff coordination of the case statement. Five all day staff meetings have been held during this period.
Continuing work is being done on identification and evaluation of individual corporate and foundation prospects for the Capital Fund Drive.

The Board of Trustees The Corcoran Gallery of Art Washington, D.C.
The following is a summary of the activities of the plant maintenance staff of the Corcoran Gallery of Art from April 1, 1970 to June 30, 1970.
During this quarter, the maintenance crew dismantled the Soleri show and packed it for New York. The major exhibit of Alexander Liberman which opened on April 18, required the construction of several sculpture stands and partitions; several galleries were repainted and concrete bases poured for the steel sculptures mounted on New York Avenue.
Concurrent with preparations for the Liberman show, the maintenance crew also assisted the Women's Committee in a wide variety of tasks associated with the annual Ball.
The installations of the Vincent Longo, Paul Guiragossian, Fort Lincoln Project and Special Projects' Art and Youth exhibitions required construction of additional partitions, extensive repainting, special lighting equipment, and in the case of the Fort Lincoln Project, a special projection box.
Further work was done on the Pubiication/Sales storeroom; the Superintendents office was completed and new office space for the assistant curator was set up in the existing curatorial office. The Special Projects office moved into the basement office previously occupied by the Curator of Architecture and Historian. Old cases in the Clark addition were removed; walls were replastered and repainted for the reinstallation of the Clark Collection. Galleries 74 and 75 were converted into temporary storage.
In the school, a broken drain pipe which periodically flooded the photo lab was repaired as well as the school steps. The crew repainted several cofridors, lockers and the men's room.
In total the maintenance crew prepared the Gallery for 1 discussion, 5 openings, 1 symposium, 6 lectures, 3 receptions, 3 films, 1 Ball, several luncheons, 13 meetings, 2 concerts and a telethon. Members of the crew also provided invaluable assistance with the Gallery event LOOK-OUT! QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE MAINTENANCE EEPARTMENT July 1 - September 30, 1970
During August, the Maintenance Department completely repainted the School interior and panelled and painted the back School corridor.
The Art Rental Gallery was fitted with display shelves and a large cloth-covered wall.
Galleries 41, 42, 43 and 30 were repainted and the Drawing Society and Eleanor Dickinson exbibitions were installed in there. Three free¬ standing walls were built for these exhibitions.
Alexander Liberman §teel sculptures were packed and the exhibition shipped out.
Several upper galleries were repainted for the Area Sculpture
Exhibition.
1 ' The vestibule was fainted.
In the interest of safety, all the old wooden ladders were replaced.
STML'-
At the beginning of 1970 there were 13 budgeted positions on the maintenance staff, including a new position of plumber at $6000/year ••st A.- which has not been filled to date. During this last quarter, we have been without an electrician as well. Two of our maintenance men with experience in handling paintings left for better jobs at the end of summer.
Ray Stephenson, Shop Foremanj Joe Tice, Floor Foreman; Russell
Simms, Carpenter; and John Pauli, Painter, are all in their sixties.
They do an astonishing amount of work and willingly work long hours.
The gallery can never hope to obtain this kind of loyalty from their replacements, but we have got to start training younger men against their eventual retirement.

Dear Mr. Chapin:
The following report reveals the publicity received by the Coi— coran Gallery for the second quarter of 1970, April 1 through July 31. Reviews of the ARCH 1TECTUAL VISION OF PAOLO SOLERI continued to dominate the press coverage, as it had in the first quarter. The Corcoran Ball, the Li berman show, and the Longo exhibition also drew a very enthusiastic response. The number and variety of Corcoran activities is reflected by the unusually large number of articles and media interviews.

Finley, Chairman; Vincent Melzac, Vice Chairman; George E. Hamilton, Jr.; James Harkless; f *■ Walter Hopps, Director i W-* The meeting began at 10:30 A.M. with Messrs. Finley, r Melzac and Hopps in attendance. Messrs. Hamilton and Harkless joined the meeting in progress.
Messrs. Finley and Melzac expressed disappointment and concern that attendance at the meeting had proved im¬ possible for a majority of the Committee members. It was agreed that only those items felt to be most urgent in the Agenda prepared by Mr. Hopps would be dealt with. It was agreed that a subsequent Committee on Works of Art meeting be scheduled for Friday, November 13 at 12:00 noon with a light lunch being served. General discussion in¬ * r- dicated the difficulty of members attending at hours other £ than during the midday luncheon hours.
I. Exhibition Approval
The exhibition schedule for 1970 was discussed (all exhibitions throughout the remainder of this year have pre¬ viously been approved). Minor revisions, dates and a can¬ cellation for the 1970 schedule were acknowledged as noted in the Agenda for this meeting.
The forthcoming exhibition The Vincent Melzac Collec¬ tion was discussed. The Committee affirmed the importance of a major catalog for this exhibition and its essential requirement of a set of at least 10 important color plates. Mr. Hopps gave his assurance that this will be fulfilled. Mr. Hopps also stated that negotiations were underway for presentation of this exhibition at the Wadsworth Atheneum, the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Mr. Melzac suggested, with the Committee concurring, that catalogs, press releases, press clippings and atten¬ dance figures be sent for all exhibitions to the members of the Committee on Works of Art in the future. Committee on Works of Art Meeting, October 16, 1970, page 2

Mr. Hopps stated that this outstanding historical sur¬ vey of master works in the tradition of Western print-making with strong inclusion of 20th century,and contemporary examples would be available to the Corcoran following its presentation at the new Indianapolis Museum of Art. Mr. Hopps further , stated that expenses for this exhibit could be expected not to exceed $1200, thanks to the generosity.of Mr. Donald Karshan making the already assembled works available.
The Albert Bierstadt Retrospective was unanimously approved. Presentation at the Corcoran will follow its in¬ auguration at the»Amon Carter Museum of Western Art post summer 1971. Mr. Hopps stated that this major 19th century exhibition could be expected to cost the Corcoran circa.. $10,000. i * •v It was agreed that other exhibitions requiring approval as listed in the Agenda for this meeting would be discussed at the next CWA meeting in order to allow for discussion and a more complete participation on the part of Committee members.

V. Purchase Considerations Action was taken on the unresolved matter of an ink drawing, Untitled by John Flanagan, offered by R. M. Light, Boston, for $1,650. Purchase of this drawing was originally approved by the Committee on Works of Art on February 19, 1969. However, the price was recorded in error. At a subsequent meeting on March 20, 1970 the Committee and Curatorial Staff decided against purchase of the work and asked Mr. Hamilton to give an opinion as to whether the Gallery is legally obli¬ gated. At the current meeting, however, the Staff and Commit¬ tee on Works of Art agreed to accept the drawing and negotiate an exchange of prints from the Corcoran collection equal to the price of $1650. Messrs. Hopps and Pilgrim were authorized to complete the matter. Committee on Works of Art Meeting, October 16, 1970, page 5
Addendum It was discussed that if it were necessary to accept gifts of works of art prior to the end of the calendar year, a short meeting would be called for this purpose in December. CORCORAN GALLERY GF ART

PUBLICATIONS Corcoran Newsletter published in September was devoted to the Corcoran School of Art with articles on "New Directions at the Corcoran School of Art", "The Students Speak Out" and "New Programs". CURRICULUM INNOVATIONS This Fall a new class is being introduced on Wednesday evenings, Experimental Studio is designed expressly for beginners and for those who want to find their own ability in art and design. The course will give a broad introduction to art and design through practical work in the studio, lectures, and discussions. Insight into Art on Tuesday evenings, is a series of illustrat¬ ed lectures, museum and studio visits, and discussions, dealing with the intuitive and intellectual aspects of Art today. - 3 The Foundation Program is for full-time first year students. The one-year program furnishes the student with an under~ standing of the concepts and processes fundamental to art and design. Group and individual work will provide visual experience. The program is flexible and adaptable, in order to allow for full expression of diverse ideas, so that the experimental work necessary to visual progress can be done. DEVELOPMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE SUMMER Improvements in appearance of the School Studios painted white Better lighting and ventilation Additional exhibition space School supervisor (Bob Simmons) Foundations program: increased and continued enrollment Experimental studio Andrew Hudson seminars through School Faculty involvement Faculty meetings - formal and informal Heads of departments Corcoran Newsletter - September 1970 Visiting artists Lectures and events Docent lecture on and visit to School Womens committee lecture series: co-ordinated with School Co-ordination and cooperation with the Gallery August staff meetings: Gallery and School School self study August opus 1970: statement on the School During August and September there were a series of meetings between the Gallery and School administration towards the preparation of a case statement. Much work was done on this and a self study for the School. Such material can be used both for the capital fund drive and NASA accreditation. A meeting was held with Mr. Richard Lahey, Principal Emeritus, to discuss with him the history of the School. Consideration is being given to the continuing development of the four year professional program. The work of the Founda¬ tion program, which now has two groups of full-time students, indicates the need for a professional program. 4 Membership of NASA the Division 3 level which is not accredited and non-voting will be sought during the coming year. Negotiations were made during August and September for a NASA consultant to visit the School during the Fall.
