If you are like most people, you are eager fill your weekends with fun and adventure. Whether you are re-visiting some of your favorite places or discovering new ones, I hope Maryhill is on your summer short list. We certainly have plenty to tempt you. On July 13 we open the special exhibition West Coast Woodcut: Contemporary Relief Prints by Regional Artists, which showcases some of the best printmakers of the region. The 60 prints on view feature masterfully rendered landscapes, flora and fauna of the West coast, along with explorations of social and environmental issues. Plein air artists will be back in action this summer when the 2019 Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge kicks off in late July; throughout August we will exhibit their paintings in the museum’s M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center. The show is always a delight and I look forward to seeing the Gorge through the eyes of these talented artists. Speaking of the Gorge — we are in the thick of it with the Exquisite Gorge Project, a collaborative printmaking effort that has brought together 11 artists to create large-scale woodblock prints reflective of a 220-mile stretch of the Columbia River. On August 24 we invite you to participate in the culmination of the project as the print blocks are inked, laid end-to-end and printed using a steamroller on the grounds at Maryhill.

    Winter 2011–2012 Dear Members & Friends, It’s trulY NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT to say that Maryhill Museum of Art has had a monumental year. Last fall we received a generous challenge grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and in February held a groundbreaking for the first expansion in the museum’s history. On hand for the occasion were numerous members, donors and museum supporters who have worked hard to make the expansion project – many years in the making – a reality. Capital Campaign co-chair Laura Cheney, whose mother, Mary Hoyt Stevenson, provided the $2.6 million lead gift that made this new wing possible, was there to hoist a golden shovel and spoke eloquently about her mother’s dream for Maryhill.

  • Press Release for Editing
    Moderne Gallery Is Making A Move! - as always...looking forward, taking the lead ---- From Old City to Port Richmond, Philadelphia, in January 2019 Moderne Gallery, recognized internationally as the prime gallery for studio craft furniture, and as the leading Nakashima dealer in the world, is moving to a new center for high end design, art and antiques in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, as of January 2019. The new showroom is not open to the public as of yet, but can be visited by appointment only. It is set to open in the Spring of 2019. Moderne Gallery will be the first tenant in the Showrooms at 2220, a newly restored former mill at 2220 East Allegheny Avenue, (Port Richmond) Philadelphia, PA 19134. The 100,000 square-foot building is owned and managed by Jeffrey Kamal and Joe Holahan, co-owners of Kamelot Auction Company, which holds its auctions and has its offices in the building. "We are not downsizing, or giving up our showroom concept with special exhibitions," says Moderne Gallery founder/director Robert Aibel. "And certainly we will continue to build our business through internet sales." Joshua Aibel, Robert's son, is now co-director of Moderne Gallery and helping to develop this combination of sales concepts. "We see this as an opportunity to move to a setting that presents a comprehensive, easily accessible major art, antiques and design center for our region, just off I-95," says Josh Aibel. "The Showrooms at 2220 offer an attractive new venue with great showroom spaces and many advantages for our storage and shipping requirements." Moderne Gallery's new showrooms are being designed by the gallery's longtime interior designer Michael Gruber of Philadelphia.

  • Théodore Rivière: Sculpture
    Théodore Rivière: Sculpture Théodore Rivière: Sculpture Théodore Louis Auguste Rivière (French, 1857‒1912) was born in Toulouse and received his art education there at the School of Fine Arts. He then attended the National School of Fine Arts of Paris. As a young man, Rivière studied under François Jouffroy (French, 1806‒1882), Antonin Mercié (French, 1845‒1916), and Alexandre Falguière (French, 1851‒1900)—who had been a student of both Jouffroy and Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (French, 1824‒1887). Carrier- Belleuse is known to Maryhill Museum of Art patrons through his Diana, Goddess of the Hunt (1886), which stands opposite the museum’s public entrance. Rivière is remembered for his bronze sculptures, but he also worked in other mediums. His creations are generally associated with the Art Nouveau style and he was a leading French sculptor of Oriental subjects. Rivière drew inspiration from Greek and Roman mythology, biblical narratives, literary texts, and his travels in North Africa, the Far East, and elsewhere. He lived for a while in Carthage (Tunisia), and there completed two Orientalist groups based on Gustave Flaubert’s 1862 novel about Salammbô. These were exhibited to acclaim at the 1894 and 1895 Paris Salons. Maryhill Museum of Art’s Théodore Rivière collection has an interesting—even unusual—history. In 1949, Alma de Bretteville Spreckels wrote to the museum’s director and reported that she had acquired the sculptures in 1915, through Loïe Fuller. Chicago businessman and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald (1862–1932), who was an owner and executive of Sears, Roebuck and Company, was also interested in them, but Alma “begged” Loïe to let her have the works.
