Cranbrook Donor Honor Roll 2014-15 2 Cranbrook Honor Roll • 2014-15 Message from Our Chairman CRANBROOK DONOR HONOR ROLL 2014-15 2 CRANBROOK HONOR ROLL • 2014-15 MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Cranbrook Educational Community and all of the learners and visitors who enjoy our campus and our programs on it, in our region, and throughout the nation, I want to say thank you to the thousands of individuals and organizations listed in this 2014-2015 Cranbrook Donor Honor Roll and the many more who have volunteered their time, talent, and gifts to support this exceptional institution. Over the summer of 2015, craftsmen constructed two stone walls along Lone Pine Road in the vicinity of the new exit from the Cranbrook House parking lot. These walls join the old ones that frame the newly-restored Yellin Gates which were installed and dedicated in November. Walls are a significant part of the historic hardscape around Cranbrook. Within the campuses of the Schools or the Academy of Art, they offer places to sit in the sunshine, catching up with friends or enjoying a book. Around the perimeter of Cranbrook, walls serve to embrace the space. With every wall, there is a door or a gate or an opening that breaks the barrier and invites those outside in and encourages those in to go out. Inviting others in, and encouraging outward bound service, outreach and learning, are crucial to what we do at Cranbrook. As I wrote in my Honor Roll introduction last year, Cranbrook was founded upon a spirit of giving to others. Mindful of that legacy, we strive to share Cranbrook’s educational and cultural opportunities with many and diverse audiences. Your contributions inspire us and impel us to offer opportunities in education, art, and science on and off our historic 319-acre campus like no other organization in the country. We’re also working hard to develop extraordinary new, imaginative, and far-reaching experiences for learners of all kinds. We need to continue to build new audiences both on our campus and outside it. In doing so, we are sustaining the commitment of our founders, George Gough Booth and Ellen Scripps Booth, who believed that unselfish service to others not only provides the giver with health and happiness but also makes for happy and healthy communities, states, and nations as well. Thank you for all you do to make this happen. Bruce D. Peterson Chairman Board of Trustees CRANBROOK HONOR ROLL • 2014-15 3 4 CRANBROOK HONOR ROLL • 2014-15 MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT Dear Friends, To those listed on the following pages, and to the many others unnamed, on behalf of everyone associated with Cranbrook Educational Community, I extend our most profound thanks—for enhancing our capacity to provide opportunities for so many to experience the joys of learning, observing, imagining, creating, discovering, and above all, reaching for excellence. We all are deeply grateful for your continued support, encouragement, and friendship. Cranbrook’s Donor Honor Roll recognizes the individuals and organizations whose gifts to Cranbrook make it possible to share this extraordinary place with others. As you look through this publication, I encourage you to pause on the messages of the leaders in each of our program areas. In their words, you will discover how outreach is integral to what we do, how Cranbrook’s service to others takes many forms, and how each donor to Cranbrook, through their gifts, has leveraged our capacity to serve others and thus enrich ourselves. I’ve had several moments over the last month that caused me to think about Cranbrook’s history and our collective service to others, both now and in the past. George Gough Booth, Cranbrook’s founder along with his wife Ellen Scripps Booth, was many things. He was a metalsmith by trade, a newspaperman by profession, a collector by interest, an architect and landscape designer by hobby, and a philosopher by inclination. Cranbrook’s Archives are filled with his writings, which are full of quotations that challenge and inspire the reader even today. I would argue, however, that in spite of all of the Booths’ extraordinary accomplishments, serving others was a trait they held in the highest esteem. I enjoy reading the historic literature related to Cranbrook and recently came across this quote from George Booth: “If you would serve self best, then serve others.” As I read this passage, it struck me again that the Booths certainly lived up to that conviction in their own lives, and today’s Cranbrook remains the living proof of that commitment. I am delighted to tell you that each program area of Cranbrook is making an ongoing, meaningful difference in the lives of those around us. From the Horizons-Upward Bound Program at Cranbrook Schools to the Institute’s statewide educational outreach to the Art Museum’s focus on art and urban learners, all areas of Cranbrook serve others as a priority. Mindful of the Booths’ service legacy, we share our educational experiences, programs and facilities with diverse audiences and work to create life-long relationships with all of our constituents. Thank you, again, for your support and for helping Cranbrook serve those who need it most. Dominic A. DiMarco President CRANBROOK HONOR ROLL • 2014-15 5 FOUNDER’S SOCIETY CRANBROOK CUMULATIVE GIVING SOCIETIES Cranbrook’s Cumulative Giving Societies, including the Founder’s Society which recognizes cumulative giving of more than $1 million, honors Cranbrook’s founding families and the donors who are following in their footsteps with their generous support of this Community. The following pages provide insight and background into each giving level and also list those individuals who make up the 2014-15 class of the Founder’s Society as well as the dozens of other supporters who have given to Cranbrook over the years. SAARINEN • $5,000,000 SCRIPPS • $7,500,000 Susan Flint Cooper K’58 Ellen Booth’s family, the Scrippses, were leaders in the BOOTH • $10,000,000 newspaper publishing industry at the turn of the 20th George Gough and Ellen Scripps Booth century. The Scripps family was the foundation upon which Maxine and Stuart Frankel many of Cranbrook’s early successes were built. George and Ellen Booth founded Cranbrook in 1904 and guided its growth into one of the world’s leading centers for education, science and art. The idea for Cranbrook arose, in part, of their belief that beauty was essential to life and could inspire great thinking and creativity. That belief still inspires the Cranbrook vision today. 6 CRANBROOK HONOR ROLL • 2014-15 LEADERSHIP CIRCLE MILLES • $1,000,000 Margaret and Robert Allesee Anonymous Pamela Applebaum K’83 Robert L.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

California and the Fiber Art Revolution Suzanne Baizerman Imogene Gieling Curator of Crafts and Decorative Arts Oakland Museum of California Oakland, CA 510-238-3005 [email protected] In the 1960s and ‘70s, California artists participated in and influenced an international revolution in fiber art. The California Design (CD) exhibitions, a series held at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955 to 1971 (and at another venue in 1976) captured the form and spirit of the transition from handwoven, designer textiles to two dimensional fiber art and sculpture.1 Initially, the California Design exhibits brought together manufactured and one-of-a kind hand-crafted objects, akin to the Good Design exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

The gift includes works of fiber (94), ceramics (24), glass (19), turned wood/carvings (11), metal (5), furniture (4), jewelry (2), Structure No. 18: Theory of Lift, basketry (1), and folk art (1). The largest donor of contemporary craft in the Jeanette Marie Ahlgren, 1994 Museum’s history, Mrs. Farago has transformed the MFA’s collection with gifts totaling nearly 950 objects to the Museum in her lifetime. Other significant donations to the MFA by Mrs. Farago include the 2006 gift of more than 650 pieces of contemporary jewelry and the 2004 gift of more than 80 works of contemporary fiber art created by the late Edward Rossbach and Katherine Westphal.

  • At Long Last Love Press Release
    At Long Last Love: Fiber Sculpture Gets Its Due October 2014 It looks as if 2014 will be the year that contemporary fiber art finally gets the recognition and respect it deserves. For us, it kicked off at the Whitney Biennial in May which gave pride of place to Sheila Hicks’ massive cascade, Pillar of Inquiry/Supple Column. Last month saw the opening of the influential Thread Lines, at The Drawing Center in New York featuring work by 16 artists who sew, stitch and weave. Now at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the development of ab- straction and dimensionality in fiber art from the mid-twentieth centu- ry through to the present is examined in Fiber: Sculpture 1960–present from October 1st through January 4, 2015. The exhibition features 50 works by 34 artists, who crisscross generations, nationalities, processes and aesthetics. It is accompanied by an attractive companion volume, Fiber: Sculpture 1960-present available at browngrotta.com. There are some standout works in the exhibition — we were thrilled Fiber: Sculpture 1960 — present opening photo by Tom Grotta to see Naomi Kobayashi’s Ito wa Ito (1980) and Elsi Giauque’s Spatial Element (1989), on loan from European museums, in person after ad- miring them in photographs. Anne Wilson’s Blonde is exceptional and Ritzi Jacobi and Françoise Grossen are represented by strong works, too, White Exotica (1978, created with Peter Jacobi) and Inchworm, respectively. Fiber: Sculpture 1960–present aims to create a sculp- tural dialogue, an art dialogue — not one about craft, ICA Mannion Family Senior Curator Jenelle Porter explained in an opening-night conversation with Glenn Adamson, Director, Museum of Arts and Design.

  • Imagining Ishmael: Introducing American Islamicism
    Cambridge University Press 052161807X - The Cultural Roots of American Islamicism Timothy Marr Excerpt More information Imagining Ishmael: Introducing American Islamicism In April of 1997, a coalition of sixteen American Muslim organizations petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to have a larger-than-life representation of the Prophet Muhammad sandblasted off the north wall overlooking the nation’s central legal chamber. The Muslim groups took offense at the ivory marble statue that depicts a robed and bearded Muhammad with a curved sword in one hand and the Qur’an in the other. Part of the original Beaux- Arts architecture designed in the early 1930s by Adolph A. Weinman, the statue stands between Charlemagne and Justinian as one of eighteen great law givers of history. The presence of the frieze in such an official location, the Muslim leaders maintained, demonstrated insensitivity to Islamic prohi- bitions against displaying images of the Prophet, and the scimitar perpetuated stereotypes about Muslims as “intolerant conquerors.” Deeply committed to removing the statue, they offered to pay the expenses for an appropri- ate replacement. Chief Justice William Rehnquist, however, rejected their request. He claimed that the figure represented an honor rather than a form of idol worship and that the sword was a general symbol of justice. He also noted that any alterations in the frieze would not only destroy the artistic integrity of the whole, but also violate a 1949 statute against the removal of statues from the Court’s property. While he agreed with the literature handed out to visitors to the Bench that the “figure is a well-intentioned attempt by the sculptor to honor Muhammad,” he nonetheless also agreed with the Muslim protesters that “it bears no resemblance to Muhammad.”1 This ivory marble Muhammad and Rehnquist’s defense of it are but recent examples of the ways in which U.S.

  • Victoria, 1991–2000; Cast 2007 Stainless Steel; 14 X 6½ X 7½ Feet, Edition of 3 Museum Purchase with the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts 2008.6
    Information on Philip Grausman American, born 1935 Victoria, 1991–2000; cast 2007 Stainless steel; 14 X 6½ X 7½ feet, edition of 3 Museum Purchase with the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts 2008.6 Subject Matter Seen from behind, the smooth stainless steel trunk of Philip Grausman’s Victoria rises to a height of about ten feet. A giant orb of shiny metal balloons outward. The polished metal surface shows a particular woman in a very smooth stylized form. This massive sculpture weighs about 4500 pounds and stands at an overall height of 14 feet. From the front, the sculpture is clearly a head with a very long neck. The forehead is rounded and smooth, curving down and back, ending in a neat pageboy coiffure. The eyes are closed and somewhat sunken. A thin ridge rides over the bridge of the nose. This ridge and a broad brow encircle the eyes to form a mask-like structure. The mouth is closed, with lips neither very full nor very thin. Relatively small bumps represent the ears. High cheekbones, well-proportioned nose and lips, and a rounded chin complete this female figure. Light and dark areas formed from shadows on the metal give the figure a striking, chiseled appearance. The figure displays bilateral symmetry from the front and back and appears balanced when viewed from the sides. The elongated neck, closed sunken eye surrounded by furrows, and tiny ear bumps give the sculpture a surreal appearance. Other features appear proportional and realistic. Victoria, as well as other Grausman sculptures ,“have been shaped with a silky emphasis on idealization— contours slope elegantly, symmetry quietly emphasized, with facial features stoic and streamlined.
