We are pleased to announce that the twelve months covered by this report (September 1, 2007–August 31, 2008) were marked by great resolve and dedication. Once again, the Museum successfully operated on a balanced budget, as mandated by the Board, thanks to the hard work and commitment of everyone here at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The passion of those who serve the Museum, past and present, enables us to remain a leading art museum in the region and nationally, and a relevant art organization to Milwaukee. We had 274,615 visitors to the Museum, and visitors and critics alike praised feature exhibitions Martín Ramírez, Foto: Modernity in Central Europe, 1918–1945, and Gilbert & George. Reinforcing the quality of its exhibition programming, the Museum entered into W. Kent Velde its first collaboration with the National Gallery of Art on the acclaimed Foto exhibition.

Fiscal year 2008 saw several major developments at the Milwaukee Art Museum. My arrival in February on a cold, snowy day brought back memories of growing up in Green Bay. It was a shock coming from warm California, but also a pleasant surprise. I was astonished to see that Milwaukee had developed into a thriving cultural center with the Art Museum in pride of place. The city’s rich cultural landscape of museums and performing arts venues, along with the revitalization of the lakefront and downtown, makes Milwaukee a truly beautiful place to live and work.

I was equally amazed to discover how much It has also been a busy 2008 for growing the Collection. the community and region value and support the There are too many artworks to list here (the full list of Daniel T.

The 1981 first edition of this work had long been out of print and much sought after. A second edition was published to celebrate the 2008 opening of the fully catalogued George Mann Niedecken Archives, and in conjunction with the exhibition A Revolutionary in Milwaukee: The Designs of George Mann Niedecken. This exhibition was curated by John C. Eastberg, senior historian at the Captain Pabst Mansion, and coordinated at the Museum by Liz Flaig. The expanded second edition includes the original contributions of author Cheryl Robertson and Niedecken himself, with updated photography, additional color images, and an essay by John C. Eastberg. Eastberg’s scholarship has deepened our understanding of Niedecken’s career by presenting his lesser-known work in the context of Milwaukee’s artistic and social history. Sponsored by the Mae E.
