  • Summer Art Acquisitions
    COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Boulevard I Richmond, Virginia 23220-4007 www.vmfa.museum/pressroom I T 804.204.2704 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 15, 2013 Summer Art Acquisitions The following artworks were approved by the VMFA Board of Trustees in June 2013. VMFA is a state agency and a public/private partnership. All works of art are purchased with private funds from dedicated endowments. After VMFA’s board approves proposed acquisitions on a quarterly basis, the art becomes the property of the Commonwealth of Virginia to protect, preserve, and interpret. 1. Head of a Herm, Augustan (late 1st c. BCE—early 1st century CE), marble, 19¾‖ (w/o base); 26¾‖ (w/base). Arthur and Margaret Glasgow Endowment. This beautifully carved image of a bearded god is VMFA’s first major acquisition of ancient art in recent years and a significant addition to the museum’s holdings of Greek and Roman sculpture. As a late Hellenistic or Roman creation based on an original from the mid-fifth century BCE, this sculpture reflects the esteem later generations of artists held for the art of classical Athens. The head came from a herm, a type of sculpture that consists of a head surmounting a tall pillar with projecting posts evoking arms and an erect phallus. Early herms had a sacred character and served as distance and boundary markers with the power to ward away evil. Later herms had different type of heads, including female heads and even portraits. The form of the herm has remained part of the visual vocabulary of Western art with a wide variety of adaptations.

    Oral history interview with June Wayne, 1970 August 4-6 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with June Wayne on August 4, 1970. The interview took place in Los Angeles, CA, and was conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview Tape 1, Side 1 PAUL CUMMINGS: It's August 4 - Paul Cummings talking to June Wayne in her studio. Well, how about some background. You were born in Chicago? JUNE WAYNE: Yes, I was. I understand I was born at the Lying-In Hospital on the Midway in Chicago. Right in the shadow of the University of Chicago. PAUL CUMMINGS: And then you went to Gary, Indiana? JUNE WAYNE: I went to Gary when I was an infant. I don't know whether I was a year old or two years old. I do know that I was back in Chicago by the time I was four or five. So my stay in Gary was very brief. Incidentally, I have memories of Gary, of the steel mills at night, those giant candles with the flutes of fire coming out of the stacks. I also remember very vividly picking black-eyed Susans along the railroad tracks of the Illinois Central in Gary. I must have lived somewhere nearby. My grandmother used to take me for walks along there. I can remember that very significantly. I have lots of memories of Gary.

    Tamarind homage to lithography Preface by William S. Lieberman. Introduction by Virginia Allen Author Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.) Date 1969 Publisher Distributed by New York Graphic Society, Greenwich, Conn. Exhibition URL www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1869 The Museum of Modern Art's exhibition history—from our founding in 1929 to the present—is available online. It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Tamarind:Homage to Lithography Tamarind: Homage to Lithography Preface by William S. Lieberman Introduction by Virginia Allen 4- The Tamarind Lithography Workshop has almost single- handedly revived the difficult medium of lithography in the past decade. It has provided not only the materials but also the environment that fosters the delicate collaboration be tween artist and printer. Such an environment and indeed even the materials were almost nonexistent in the United States before June Wayne and the Ford Foundation agreed on the importance of providing them. Since Tama rind opened its doors in 1960 it has provided fellowships for numerous artists and printers, most of whom have con tinued their exploration of lithography after leaving Tama rind. The author describes this unique Workshop and also gives a brief history of lithography in Europe and in the United States. Included is a list which catalogs part of the promised gift to The Museum of Modern Art of the Kleiner, Bell and Company Collection of Tamarind Impressions. The author, Virginia Allen, former curator of Tamarind, is now Assistant to William S.
