Crafting Modernism: The story of MAD and postwar American aesthetic culture Dear Friends,

It’s hard to believe, but this September 27th will be the third anniversary of our opening at 2 Columbus Circle. Now that all the hoopla is over, we’re finally beginning to feel like we’ve arrived—at last a fixture in the cultural landscape of New York. (It takes a good long while. We first opened our doors as the Museum of Contemporary Crafts on September 20, 1956. That was 55 years ago! Crafting Modernism: Midcentury American Art and Design, which opens on October 12, is as much a story of the evolution of this museum as it is of American postwar aesthetic culture.) After our recent change of address, we celebrated all kinds of Holly Hotchner Board of Trustees Nanette L. Laitman Director milestones with fanfare: Exhibits like Second Lives and Read My Pins drew record Lewis Kruger Chairman crowds; our MADcrush evenings made us a hit with the young and thirsty; The Jerome A. Chazen Store became a shopping destination practically overnight. Chairman Emeritus Barbara Tober But more gratifying have been the quieter achievements. Seats to the round tables Chairman Emerita Fred Kleisner we host at the opening of major exhibitions, with featured artists, select press, Treasurer and hand-picked experts discoursing on a topic pertaining to the exhibit, have Linda E. Johnson become much sought-after invitations among the press. This spring, for instance, Secretary Holly Hotchner a group of distinguished art and science writers joined Otherworldly artists—Amy Director Bennett, Joe Fig, Lori Nix, and Liliana Porter—and Harvard neurobiologist Margaret Stanley Arkin Livingstone, author of “Vision and Art: The Biology of Seeing,” and the Director Diego Arria of NYU’s Institute for the Humanities Lawrence Weschler, distinguished for his George Bouri works of creative non-fiction, in a conversation about how the viewing of artist- Kay Bucksbaum made worlds heightens our awareness of the real. The talk was fascinating. Which Cecily Carson Simona Chazen is why we’ve decided to no longer keep these heady chats as private press perks, Michele Cohen but to videotape them for public viewing. Stay tuned for web postings. Eric Dobkin Marcia Docter If you’re already hungry for a sampling of this kind of choice discourse, come to Renaud Dutreil C. Virginia Fields the talk “Constructed Images: The Intersection of Sculpture and Photography,” Carolee Friedlander on Saturday afternoon, September 17, in the MAD Theater.

Jeffery Kauffman Nanette L. Laitman We have a number of interesting new alliances coming up this fall. During New Jeffrey Manocherian York Fashion Week, we’re teaming with media partners Vanity Fair and the Film Robert Lee Morris Karim Rashid Society of Lincoln Center, and corporate sponsors L’Oreal and BMW, to present Barbara Karp Shuster Fashion on Film, a series of cult flicks, like William Klein’s 1966 indie classic Ruth Siegel “Qui êtes-vous, Polly Magoo?” Style authority and window dresser extraordinaire, Klara Silverstein Simon Doonan, will host.

4 museum of arts and design [ NEW ACQUISITIONS ]

The Wright Stuff

When Jennifer Scanlan, a MAD associate curator, spotted this Frank Lloyd Wright block-print paper prototype and resulting linen print in a catalogue of the antique textile gallery Cora Ginsburg, she immedi- ately took note. Collecting prototypes for important designs is an acquisitions priority for MAD, because prototypes illustrate the creative process behind a design, and illuminating process is central to the Museum’s mission. The pieces were among the products of Wright’s collaboration with the decorative fabrics company F. Schumacher and Co., which was his only venture into mass-scale textile production. During the early twentieth century, Schumacher commissioned designs from a variety of well-known European and American names, including the couturier Paul Poiret, the industrial designer Donald Deskey, and the textile designer Ruth Reeves. The editor of House Beautiful, Elizabeth Gordon, orchestrated this project with Wright, and the fabrics were featured in the magazine’s November 1955 issue under the title: “Frank Lloyd Wright: His Contribution to the Beauty of American Life.” The design Scanlan spied was by Ling Po, a Fellow at Wright’s Taliesin West studio, where work was carried out under Wright’s direction and supervision. After the gallery agreed to hold the pieces, Scanlan presented the works at the April 2011 Collections Committee. To the delight of everyone, funds were donated on the spot by Laura Oskowitz, one of the committee’s newest members. “It was a beautiful piece,” says Oskowitz, explaining her magnanimous gesture, “I felt that MAD should have a work by Frank Lloyd Wright, because he is an American icon.” Born in South Africa, Oskowitz is an independent entrepreneur with a longstanding interest in the arts and an outstanding collection of art of all kinds. We count ourselves lucky to have such a generous and sophisticated new friend.

These purchases were made possible through the generosity of Laura Selwyn Oskowitz. Above: Frank Lloyd Wright. Prototype for Design no. 102, Taliesin Line for F. Schumacher & Co, 1955. Block printed with paint on fabric; 96 x 51 in. Photo courtesy of Cora Ginsburg.

As part of the public program series “The Home Front: American Furniture Now,” members of The American Design Club (AmDC), a national collective of leading young American design talents, took over the Open Studios for a week to create “something to sit on.” Organized by Dan Rubinstein, the editor of Surface magazine, the program showcased new currents in furniture design. Kai Tsien- Williams, Stanley Ruiz, and Sergio Silva and Matthew Bradshaw of the studio Silva/Bradshaw, and Gregory Buntain and Ian Collings of Fort Standard, all from Brooklyn, came with their tools and materials to construct a variety of chairs—from a sleek wooden chair to an industrial aluminum stool to a chair carved from foam and covered in rice husks. Crowds of museumgoers enjoyed talking shop with the designers who showed them how to bend wood and make a laminate. At the end of the week, Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer of the design blog “Sight Unseen” moderated a discussion in the Theatre about the making and significance of these inventive designs.

Worlds Gone Awry

In the days leading up to the opening of Otherworldly this past spring, if you happened to drop by the Museum you probably came upon several scraggly young men in the lobby, standing on a platform painting swirls and swatches of blue on the ceiling and hanging from that surface what looked like flotsam. They were Brooklyn-based artist David Opdyke and his assis- tants. Those random patches and pieces came together in an uncannily explosive spectacle: an apocalyptic diorama of Columbus Circle swept

For example, Photos courtesy of MAD and Linda Florio his 2004 work “Oil Empire” is a “topographic” rendering of oil refineries and pipelines run- ning across the US. Specially conceived for Otherworldly, “Lost at Sea,” was a riveting tableau worthy of a Spielberg blockbuster that spurred portentous visions of climate change and financial col- lapse. Disturbing as Opdyke’s imagery was, museumgoers didn’t flee, they headed in droves into the elevators and up to the galleries to see many more works of dark imagining.

12 museum of arts and design [ INSIDE MAD ] A Night of Otherworldly Wonders At the exhibition’s opening, members and friends swarmed about the compelling, often enigmatic, installations eager for a chance to peer into peepholes, check out model houses, and witness zoetropic mayhem. Outside, passersby crowded about “Eye Contact,” a special interactive art installation conceived by NYU students. Participants looked into a camera to view Columbus Circle and their eye was projected onto the museum’s 160-foot-high façade! Talk about an eye-opening spectacle!

SPECIAL EVENTS RENTALS

Guests are dazzled when then visit our premier event space on the seventh floor and catch sight of its floor-to-ceiling views of the Time Warner Center, Columbus Circle, and Central Park West, not to mention the full expanse of Central Park, a knock-out vista in any season. But that’s not the only option available for private occasions. The Barbara Tober Grand Atrium and our gallery floors are also available for rental, as is our glamorous midcentury modern theater on the Museum’s lower level. It seats 143 and is equipped with Blu-Ray, DVD, 35mm projection, digital, laptop, and auxiliary inputs with Dolby surround sound. A full menu of options for renting select spaces, including combining various floors or the full Museum is possible.

Some recent events at MAD have included a private tour of the Global Africa Project and a dinner for members of the Board of Trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation; filming for the movie “Tower Heist” with Ben Stiller, Casey Affleck, and Eddie Murphy; press events for Procter & Gamble’s products Tide and Sonicare; a ready-to-wear fashion show for Louis Vuitton; CMT up fronts featuring country music star Miranda Lambert; and alumni events for UC Berkeley and Stanford University.

Another exciting option for clients is the use of our building’s ceramic-and-glass-paneled façade for video projections and installations. Thanks to our central location, artistic projections can reach tens of thousands of New Yorkers and visitors every day. In December 2010, the Museum’s façade served as a 10-story screen for a 3-D video installation by Parker Pens entitled “Write Big,” which depicted the thoughts, witticisms, dreams, and hopes of people from around the world.

Creating singular events for you and your guests is our specialty. We offer catering exclusively through Ark Restaurants, which manages our much-acclaimed restaurant, Robert, on the 9th floor.

Now that MAD has become a vibrant, new cultural center in Manhattan’s midtown, it is little wonder that Barbara Tober, our Chairman Emerita and Chairman of the Global Leadership Council, has been in demand as a speaker throughout the city and abroad. At two venues this past spring, the Cosmopolitan Club and Christie’s, she adroitly wove stories of her long history of involve- ment with MAD—from its days as a leading showcase for contemporary crafts to its current status as a singular institution acclaimed for exploring materials and Barbara Tober with her husband Donald in Millbrook, New York, at Fitch’s process in contemporary creation—into an engrossing Corner Horse Show, an event organized by Fernanda Kellogg. talk that has won over new friends and members. “The public has fallen in love with the imagination, innovation, accessibility, and artistic excellence that character- izes all that we present here, from The Store to the Open Studios, the Restaurant, and all the Galleries in between,” says Mrs. Tober. This growing renown and respect for MAD has given our members and wonderful trustees like Barbara Tober all the more reason to be excited about the successes that lie ahead for the Museum.
