May 1st, L88U 900 :il |446>198 17 The Trustee- had tin- satisfaction one year ago of inform­ ing the members of the Ifaseum that their valuable posses, -ions had been safely transferred from Fourteenth Street to the new building in the Park, and the annual meeting of the corporation was then for tin- first time held in thai building, which \va.- without furniture. 'Phe appropriation for it- equipment was 880,000, to he placed in the tax lew of 1^7'.'. and 880,000 in that of 1880, which was then available only to the extent of the first sum. It was the hope of the Trustees that they would with that amount be able to open a portion of the Museum in tin- fall of IS7'-'. But the labor of furnishing and equippingthe building and arranging the collections proved much more tedious than had heen anticipated, and the labors of the Director with his assistants, aided by committees of Trus­ tees, have heen continuous and uninterrupted during the entire year. The Brat BUm of (30,000 was economically expended hy the Park Department in strict and courteous accord with the wishes and recommendations of this Hoard, and after flu' commencement of the year 1880 the second like sum was in the same way applied to the purpo-es of its appropriation. The peculiarities of the building, its form and arrangement, required extraordinary labor and expense to tit it for the reception of the Museum's collections. With l he utmost care, and the adjustment of oases to every pos­ sible part of the building, it i- -till found inadequate to the accommodation of the present possessions of the Museum, and obviously insufficient for that increase which, it is hoped. will now be rapid and continuous. The second Cesnola collect ion has IK-CM incorporated wit II the first, and now, for the first time, this collect ion [g completed as a unit, and arranged for the examination of student-. Duplicate- have heen taken out and formed into collections, to be disposed of hereafter; and some 2,600 ob jecls which are not duplicates, hut which were of minor importance in some respects, have heen reserved from e.x- hihition simply because of lack of room iii the building. The importance of Ceramic Arl with regard to the manu facturing and commercial industries oi our country, as welt as it- general educational value, have led the Trustees to de sire permanent examples as a portion of the exhibitions. In this respect they have heretofore heen dependent on the Loan collection. The influence of that collection in the families and households of our citizens, and on the Ameri­ can potteries and importations, are so marked and decided that no doubt could be entertained of the immediate im­ portance of making that art a permanent feature of the Museum instruction. In pursuance of this plan, the Trus­ tees asked contributions from the members and others for the purchase of the Oriental Porcelains of Mr. S. P. Avery, Mime of which had been from time to time Loaned to as. This purchase was effected for $35,000, and the arrangement in the north gallery of the Grand Hall has already proved 80 useful to practical potters from all part-, of the country, and BO Interesting and instructive to crowds of visitors, that the Trust gratulate the members and themselves on the acquisition, as certain to prove useful and valuable for all future time. The history of Glass Manufactures has never heretofore attracted the attention of tin- American Public. The Cean ction illustrates this as an ancient product of beautiful art. and that collection has Keen placed in the h Gallery. Mr. Henry G. Marquand has presented to the museum a choice collection of old Venetian Glass, which has been arranged in case.- in the same gallery, in which are some very beautiful specimens of that delicate and graceful work. This is probably the first collection of Venetian Glass which has been made in America. The indn making and decoration is becoming im portant in this country, and the tr atertain the hope that Mr. M.iroiiaiidV valuable donation will form the nucleus '. c illustration of the art. Mr. Marquand has likewise presented to this institution a valuable collection of Ancient American found in iiiri. in what are called the u Mound Builders Tombs," the prehistoric nation- of the Mississippi valley an- verj important to the Museum, as in the future one of It 'iild be a collection of the ancient arts • The Rev. K. I.. I >. I)., of Philadelphia, on a visit to the Museum while as yet nnopened, verj generously pre ft to the people, a valuable col lection of 85 water colored paintings by the eminent artist William T. Richards, and Dr. ICagoon proposes to increase the number to one hundred specimens. This collection will be properly and uniformly framed and placed on exhibition, a- soon as possible, SO that the public may fully appreciate the generous gift of the donor. The Trustees have, during the first year, carefully con sidered the subject of establishing industrial Art Schools in connection with the Museum, The necessity for these has become, to them, more and more apparent. With some ex­ ceptions, our artisan- and mechanics show great lack of ar­ tistic taste and knowledge, and arc practically destitute of originality in design.

Zalewski: Art for the Public: William Henry Vanderbilt’s Cultural Legacy Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 11, no. 2 (Summer 2012) Art for the Public: William Henry Vanderbilt’s Cultural Legacy by Leanne Zalewski Railroad magnate William Henry Vanderbilt’s (1821–85) art collection occupies an important place in the history of collecting in the United States.[1] His collection, housed in his personal art gallery at 640 Fifth Avenue, was more accessible than any other private collection in the early postbellum era and offered to New Yorkers a rare opportunity to acquaint themselves with contemporary European art. Moreover, his was the first major private art collection in New York City to be catalogued for its own sake rather than in conjunction with a special exhibition or auction sale. In addition to four small collection catalogs, he published a lavishly illustrated four-volume work, Mr. Vanderbilt’s House and Collection, with text written by prominent art critic, Edward Strahan.[2] His collection catalogues and his accessible private art gallery provided a model for later collectors such as Henry Clay Frick, who once housed his burgeoning collection of old master paintings in Vanderbilt’s splendid art gallery.[3] Vanderbilt formed his prodigious collection of over two hundred paintings by the foremost contemporary French, Belgian, German, Hungarian, English, Spanish, and Italian artists in less than four years (1878–82), astonishingly swift by any standard.

The importance of this enterprise is too obvious to need any extended explanation or argument. Not only those who are specially interested in Art and Artistic Culture, but all in- telligent citizens who have anything at stake in this great city, and who wish to see it become as famous for its attractions in this direction, as for its wealth and commercial prosperity, will surely take pride and pleasure in being among the earliest pro- moters and founders of a great Institution, opening the treasures of art of all ages and nations for the free instruction and grati- fication of the whole people. ý872. _ý TEMPORARYý_ GALLERY, c No. 68t FIFTH AVENUE, (near 53d Street.)
