One of our biggest priorities is to make the Worcester Art Museum more accessible to the community and the world. the re-opening of the Salisbury doors is a symbolic gesture of that accessibility and the free admission provides literal access to all. through the combination of these acts, combined with others in the future, we hope to deliver the message to the community that we welcome and encourage everyone to experience what this tremendous institution has to offer. We’re so appreciative of the encouragement and support we’ve received from our community in helping to make the Worcester Art Museum free for all to enjoy over the next couple of months...Without their commitment, it would have been extremely difficult to make this dream a reality. —Matthias Waschek, WAM Director Several community leaders and elected officials attended a press conference to support the museum’s announcement, including: Senator Harriette Chandler; The Museum knows how to pay it Malcolm rogers - Director, Museum of Fine Arts boston; Anita Walker - back with free admission…other executive Director, Massachusetts Cultural Coalition; Lisa Simmons – Director museums: there’s a lesson here. of pr, MA Office of travel and tourism; Councilor Konnie Lukes, and erin —Judith H.

From 2010 to 2012 the Worcester Art Museum conservation laboratory evaluated, treated, and conserved the Chapter House, using the most advanced scientific methods. Conservators carefully studied the entire structure and diagnosed its problems, using such analytical techniques as x-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, and petrography. With detailed knowledge of the building’s condition they devised a methodical treatment plan.

Decades of Museum visitors had touched the stone surfaces leaving oil and dirt from their skin. Conservators used a scientifically-formulated gel to dissolve the dirt and oil on the stone surfaces, and then removed both with moist cotton pads. With a laser they cleaned the lower walls where over the years floor coatings and waxes had gotten onto the stone. Orange iron stains, caused by a water leak, were removed with a special cleaning solution.

Old plaster repairs covered some areas of the building’s surface. Conservators removed these using a chisel and mallet, and also filled-in graffiti scratched into the walls. they found that some stones had become decayed and weakened from high salt deposits in their structure. using water-soaked poultices they were able to draw out these damaging salts. Conservators also stabilized brittle and deteriorating stone blocks by applying dilute adhesive with a brush, or injecting it into the stone with a syringe.

In 2010, funding for this project was generously provided by an anonymous donor through the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation. In 2011, the Museum was awarded an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Officer’s Grant in support of Conservation Fellow Susan Costello, who carried out the conservation research and treatment.

Myles McDonough Orantes are ancient terracotta statues of women that were discovered in underground tombs in Canosa, the capital of an ancient greek province in modern-day southeastern Italy. Dating to the 3rd century bCe these half-life-sized statues were found in groups along with rich grave goods. With their arms raised –a gesture of praying or mourning—they surrounded the deceased laid to rest in these multi-chambered tombs. the Museum has in its collection two of these statues, which have a fascinating history. When they first came as a pair to Worcester in 1927, one was severely damaged in transit. the intact figure was sold while the fragmentary one was forgotten in storage. the rediscovery of the damaged statue nearly seven decades later by Curator of Ancient Art Christine Kondoleon, and its subsequent conservation by the Andrew W. Mellon Fellow in Objects Conservation Susan Costello, coincided with a serendipitous opportunity to purchase its long-lost mate, which had by then traveled halfway around the world. After more than 80 years the Museum’s two reunited Orantes and a third one on loan from a private collection will be displayed to the public for the first time in the Museum’s new Jeppson Idea Lab. this exhibition, which will open in June 2013, is organized by Conservator paula Artal-Isbrand in consultation with Christine Kondoleon, now george D. and Margo behrakis richard prouty Senior Curator of greek and roman Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, boston.

Capacity building towards improved efficiency

the annual report of every institution, although a recap of the past, is also a stepping stone towards the future. Henceforth, WAM’s annual reports will refer in one way or another to the realization of our Vision Statement, namely to welcome 200,000 visitors annually to our gallery spaces. Currently, the Museum does not have the necessary curatorial staff depth to develop a sustained exhibition program, which is essential for attracting more visitors through our doors. Other departments in the Museum are also understaffed. We need to increase access to our building, expand parking availability and make necessary facility upgrades. As we move forward, our focus will have to be strategic in order to accomplish all of these vital initiatives. thanks to a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we will now be able to fill the vacant position of Curator of American Art. Other initiatives will follow to further fortify our curatorial team. An important announcement, which will be made in the next couple of months, will tell you how we will further strengthen our Museum’s capacity to tell our story better – stay tuned. I would also like to announce that we have begun the process of creating a master plan with Kulapat Yantrasast, principal, WHY Architecture (www.why-architecture.com). Yantrasast has numerous prominent projects under his belt, including the design of the grand rapids Art Museum and the master plan for the Speed Museum in Louisville, KY. Yantrasast recommends a novel approach—”architectural acupuncture” where limited, but strategically applied means allow institutions to activate existing architecture, rather than overstretching an institutions’ financial capacity with expensive new structures. the image you see on this page reflects his idea of transforming our Lancaster Street lobby into a more welcoming and functional space to visitors an -d increasing access to the building through a ramp on the outside of the building—stay tuned. the next chapter of WAM’s history will be most exciting – a string of press releases is in preparation, reflecting a string of amazing opportunities and of strategic decisions that will unfold in the months to come!

Stay tuned...
