  • Opens March 30 at Smithsonian American Art Museum's
    March 30, 2018 Media only: [email protected] Media website: americanart.si.edu/pr “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man” Opens March 30 at Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery Exhibition Brings Large-Scale Installations From Famed Desert Gathering to Washington Cutting-edge artwork created at Burning Man, the annual desert gathering that is one of the most influential events in contemporary art and culture, will be exhibited in the nation’s capital for the first time this spring. “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man” will take over the entire Renwick Gallery building, exploring the maker culture, ethos, principles and creative spirit of Burning Man. Several artists will debut new works in the exhibition. In addition to the in-gallery presentation, the Renwick exhibition will expand beyond its walls for the first time through an outdoor extension titled “No Spectators: Beyond the Renwick,” displaying sculptures throughout the surrounding neighborhood. Nora Atkinson, the museum’s Lloyd Herman Curator of Craft, is organizing the exhibition in collaboration with the Burning Man Project, the nonprofit organization responsible for producing the annual Burning Man event in Black Rock City. The outdoor extension of the exhibition is presented in partnership with Washington, D.C.’s Golden Triangle Business Improvement District, a 43-square-block neighborhood that stretches from the White House to Dupont Circle. The Burning Man community was instrumental in suggesting artworks for inclusion in the exhibition. “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man” opens March 30, 2018. The Renwick is the sole venue for the exhibition, which will close in two phases.

  • 826 Schermerhorn
    826 schermerhorn COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY MIRIAM AND IRA D. WALLACH FINE ARTS CENTER FALL 2020 Dear students, colleagues, and friends, Had I written this text in February, it would have been guided by the same celebratory spirit as those in the past. There has indeed been much to be grateful for in the department. During the 2019–20 academic year, we received extraordinary gifts that allowed the endowment of no fewer than four new professorships. One, from an anonymous donor, honors the legacy of Howard McP. Davis, a famously great teacher of Renaissance art. Messages sent to me from his former students testify to the profound impact he had on them, and I am thrilled that we can commemorate a predecessor in my own field in this way. A second gift, from the Renate, Hans and Maria Hofmann Trust, supports teaching and scholarship in the field of modern American or European art. Our distinguished colleague Kellie Jones has been appointed the inaugural chairholder. A third, donated by the Sherman Fairchild Foundation and named in honor of the foundation’s former president, Walter Burke, will likewise go to a scholar of early modern European art. A search is underway for the first chairholder. Finally, a gift this spring allowed us to complete fundraising for the new Mary Griggs Burke Professorship in East Asian Buddhist Art History. A search for that position will take place next year. Beyond these four new chairs, the department also has two new chairholders: Holger Klein has completed his first year as Lisa and Bernard Selz Professor of Medieval Art History, and Noam Elcott is the inaugural Sobel– Dunn Chair, a title that will henceforth be held by the chair of Art Humanities.

MELLON: FOUNDER AND BENEFACTOR c_1_Mellon_7-19_BLUEPRINTS_2107.indd 2 06/10/16 16:55 Andrew W. Mellon: Founder and Benefactor PRINCE OF Andrew W. Mellon’s life spanned the abolition of slavery and PITTSBURGH invention of television, the building of the fi rst bridge across the Mississippi and construction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass and Walt Disney’s Snow White, the Dred Scott decision and the New Deal. Mellon was born the year the Paris Exposition exalted Delacroix and died the year Picasso painted Guernica. The man was as faceted as his era: an industrialist, a fi nancial genius, and a philanthropist of gar- gantuan generosity. Born into prosperous circumstances, he launched several of America’s most profi table corporations. A venture capitalist before the term entered the lexicon, he became one of the country’s richest men. Yet his name was barely known outside his hometown of Pittsburgh until he became secretary of the treasury at an age when many men retire. A man of myriad accomplishments, he is remem- bered best for one: Mellon founded an art museum by making what was thought at the time to be the single largest gift by any individual to any nation. Few philan- thropic acts of such generosity have been performed with his combination of vision, patriotism, and modesty. Fewer still bear anything but their donor’s name. But Mellon stipulated that his museum be called the National Gallery of Art.

Designed for kids in the 8-12 age group, the tour is fun and educational for older kids and adults as well. The tour materials include... • History of the White House Neighborhood • Tour Booklet Instructions • The White House Neighborhood Guide • Architectural Vocabulary • Conversation Starters • The White House Neighborhood Tour Stops • Children's Edition This project has been funded in part by a grant from the Dorothea DeSchweinitz Fund for the District of Columbia of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

White house neigh History of the White House Neighborhood The president's neighborhood hen Pierre L’Enfant designed the plan of Washington, W DC, in 1791, he selected the site for the President’s House west of the downtown. Next to the President’s House was an orchard, which was identified as President’s Park. When President Jefferson moved into the President’s House in 1801, he noted that the country residence was “free from the noise, the heat...and the bustle of a close built town.” Over the next 100 years, the neighborhood developed with many fashionable homes, including the Octagon and the Ringgold Residence.

[email protected] JULY 2015 206.654.3151 INTIMATE IMPRESSIONISM FROM THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART OPENS AT THE SEATTLE ART MUSEUM OCT 1, 2015 October 1, 2015–January 10, 2016 SEATTLE, WA – Seattle Art Museum (SAM) presents Intimate Impressionism from the National Gallery of Art, featuring the captivating work of 19th-century painters such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas and Vincent van Gogh. The exhibition includes 71 paintings from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and features a selection of intimately scaled Impressionist and Post-Impressionist still lifes, portraits and landscapes, whose charm and fluency invite close scrutiny. “This important exhibition is comprised of extraordinary paintings, among the jewels of one of the finest collections of French Impressionism in the world,” says Kimerly Rorschach, Seattle Art Museum’s Illsley Ball Nordstrom Director and CEO. “We are pleased to host these national treasures and provide our audience with the opportunity to enjoy works by Impressionist masters that are rarely seen in Seattle.” Seattle is the last opportunity to view this exhibition following an international tour that included Ara Pacis Museum of the Capitoline Museums, Rome; Fine Arts Museums in San Francisco; McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, and Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo. The significance of this exhibition is grounded in the high quality of each example and in the works’ variety of subject matter. The paintings’ dimensions reflect their intended function: display in domestic interiors.

Millon A LIFE OF LEARNING Henry A. Millon Charles Homer Haskins Lecture for 2002 American Council of Learned Societies ACLS OCCASIONAL PAPER, No. 54 The Charles Homer Haskins Lecture Charles Homer Haskins (1870-1937), for whom the ACLS lecture series is named, was the first Chairman of the American Council of Learned Societies, from 1920 to 1926. He began his teaching career at the Johns Hopkins University, where he received the B.A. degree in 1887, and the Ph.D. in 1890. He later taught at the University of Wisconsin and at Harvard, where he was Henry Charles Lea Professor of Medieval History at the time of his retirement in 1931, and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences from 1908 to 1924. He served as president of the American Historical Association in 1922, and was a founder and the second president of the Medieval Academy of America in 1926. A great American teacher, Charles Homer Haskins also did much to establish the reputation of American scholarship abroad. His distinction was recognized in honorary degrees from Strasbourg, Padua, Manchester, Paris, Louvain, Caen, Harvard, Wisconsin, and Allegheny College, where in 1883 he had begun his higher education at the age of thirteen.
