ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL 2013–2014 Cover: GIUSEPPE PENONE Italian, born 1947 Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012 Bronze with gold leaf 433 1/16 x 96 3/4 x 79 in. (1100 x 245.7 x 200.7 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund 2014.728 While arboreal imagery has dominated Giuseppe Penone’s sculptures across his career, monumental bronzes of storm- blasted trees have only recently appeared as major themes in his work. Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument.

    39 Ching-Ling Wang* R E JA P RE-CONSIDERING A CIZHOU-TYPE JAR IN THE VVAK COLLECTION U-TY Introduction O Within the collection of the VVAK, on long term loan to the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, is a Cizhou-type (Cizhouyao xi) stoneware jar (AK-MAK-536, fig. 1). This jar has a short tapered neck, a wide mouth, and four small loops between the neck and the shoulder which would originally have been used to IZH secure a lid; from the square shoulder the sides narrow towards the foot. C The inner neck and the body are covered with a crackled glaze and slip to around three centimeters above the base. On the surface of the glaze are cloudy patches of slip that turned pink or brownish-beige during firing. A The slip has been worn away around the base. One side is decorated with G a painting of a galloping horse, shown running through grassland – as suggested by spare brush strokes. The horse is painted in shades of iron IN brown beneath the glaze. It has a dark brown body, a yellowish-brown mane, R and a tail painted with fluid brushstrokes. On the other side, in the same E palette, is an as yet unidentified plant (fig. 2). The base of the jar is plain biscuit (fig. 3). D I first encountered this jar in September 2013 during an interview for my job as curator of Chinese art in the Rijksmuseum. I remember that this jar was NSI placed in front of me and I was asked several questions about it.

  • Annual Report for the Year 2003–2004
    2003–2004 ANNUAL REPORT SAM Students with Sanislo Feast SAM CONNECTS ART TO LIFE CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ARTIST LI JIN’S A FEAST made a permanent impression on the fourth- and fifth-grade students at Sanislo Elementary School. Inspired by the fifty-nine- foot-long painting depicting food from a traditional Chinese dinner on a background of recipes written in Chinese calligraphy, the students set out to re-create their own version. Art teachers Ruth Winter and Carolyn Autenrieth designed the project to celebrate the diversity of cultures at their school. Students painted their favorite ethnic foods, and staff helped transcribe the recipes into the students’ original languages. On display at the Seattle Asian Art Museum last spring, the students’ work, Sanislo Feast, a fifty-foot-long art scroll portraying food and languages from seventeen different nations and cultures, reflected the heritage of Sanislo students and staff. Students, families and teachers commemorated the unveiling of their “masterpiece” with a special celebration at SAAM. cover: Li Jin, China, born 1958, A Feast, 2001, ink on Xuan paper, 39 3/8 x 708 5/8 in., Courtesy of the artist and CourtYard Gallery, Beijing right: Wolfgang Groschedel and Kunz Lochner, Equestrian armor for Philip II, ca. 1554, etched steel and gold, Patrimonio Nacional, Real Armería, Madrid SEATTLE ART MUSEUM TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Director’s Letter 17 Betty Bowen Award 2 Board of Trustees 18 Reaching Out to Youth & Families 3 Broadening, Deepening, Diversifying 19 Teaching and Learning 4–5 One Museum, Three
