Yet the works he produced have continued to intrigue art historians as well as offering contemporary audiences new perspectives on the prevailing movements, influences and milieus of twentieth century art. Following his own independent and wayward course, evolving from representational art to the post war, painterly style of abstraction inspired by cubism and surrealism, Stillman took cues from his surroundings — Paris in the 20’s, New York in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s and Mexico in the 60’s. While he absorbed the stylistic experiments and innovations of these decades, he distilled them through his singular vision to produce a remarkably distinct and mature body of work. In tracing the evolution of Stillman’s art, one finds evidence of his early academic training in Russia, the lingering spell of Impressionism in Europe in the early part of the twentieth century, and the mid-century impact of Abstract Expressionism in America. Further, one discovers yet another story as well — the story of a young Jewish boy in Russia seeking to realize his dream of becoming an artist against all prevailing odds. His legacy is not only the distinctive body of work that he created, but also the undaunted resolve that characterized his life as an artist.

  • 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.

  • Size, Scale and the Imaginary in the Work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim
    Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim © Michael Albert Hedger A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Art History and Art Education UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES | Art & Design August 2014 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hedger First name: Michael Other name/s: Albert Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: Ph.D. School: Art History and Education Faculty: Art & Design Title: Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Conventionally understood to be gigantic interventions in remote sites such as the deserts of Utah and Nevada, and packed with characteristics of "romance", "adventure" and "masculinity", Land Art (as this thesis shows) is a far more nuanced phenomenon. Through an examination of the work of three seminal artists: Michael Heizer (b. 1944), Dennis Oppenheim (1938-2011) and Walter De Maria (1935-2013), the thesis argues for an expanded reading of Land Art; one that recognizes the significance of size and scale but which takes a new view of these essential elements. This is achieved first by the introduction of the "imaginary" into the discourse on Land Art through two major literary texts, Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726) and Shelley's sonnet Ozymandias (1818)- works that, in addition to size and scale, negotiate presence and absence, the whimsical and fantastic, longevity and death, in ways that strongly resonate with Heizer, De Maria and especially Oppenheim.

  • Collected Works of Ary Stillman, Noted Abstract Expressionist, Donated to Columbia
    Media contact: Nick Obourn, 212-854-8336, [email protected] Collected Works of Ary Stillman, Noted Abstract Expressionist, Donated to Columbia NEW YORK, March 10, 2011 — A gift of 90 paintings and drawings will position Columbia University as the most significant repository of the work of Ary Stillman (1891-1967), a mid-20th-century artist affiliated with the New York School of abstract expressionists. The recent donation from the Stillman-Lack Foundation also includes $800,000 to establish an endowed fellowship fund for PhD candidates in modern art in Columbia’s Department of Art History and Archaeology. Of the 15 canvases and 75 works on paper included in the donation, several have already been put on display in the department. The first 25 Stillman Fellows will be given a work of art from the collection in addition to financial support for travel and research related to the completion of their dissertations. The Russia-born Stillman immigrated to the United States as a teenager. He spent much of the 1920s in Paris and became affiliated with the New York School of artists in the 1940s. His work, which evolved from representation to abstract expressionism over time, was exhibited widely during his lifetime and can be found in the permanent collections of many American museums. “Having completed 12 solo and group exhibitions in the last five years, a well-received monograph, and a 2010 colloquium, we wanted Ary Stillman’s legacy to reside at a teaching university,” said foundation executive director Barry Lack. “Columbia was an obvious choice — for its distinguished tradition as a training ground for art historians and for its location in a major art center where Ary had lived, studied, and painted for many years.

    POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE Art and Craft A Film directed by Sam Cullman and Jennifer Grausman and co-directed by Mark Becker www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILMMAKERS NEW YORK CITY , F EBRUARY 2015 When The New York Times published an article about Mark Landis, one of the most prolific art forgers in U.S. history, we were hooked from the start by its unusual premise: a talented and seemingly inex - haustible art forger who wasn’t motivated by money. Over the last 30 years, Landis had copied hundreds of pieces, from Sam Cullman Jennifer Grausman Mark Becker 15th-century icons to works Photo by London King Photo by Deborah Grausman Photo by Nadine Maleh by Pablo Picasso and even Dr. Seuss. And then, posing as a philanthropic donor, a grieving executor of a family member’s will and, most recently, as a Jesuit priest, he donated them—hundreds of them—to a staggering list of museums across the United States. At the time, Landis had yet to be tracked down by the media, so we began filming with Matthew Leininger, an unusually tena - cious registrar in Cincinnati who had first uncovered the decades-long ruse. Determined to bring Landis’s “philanthropic” spree to an end, Leininger set the stage for a cat-and-mouse chase that would play out in front of our camera for the next two years. But we were dying to know more. Who was Mark Landis? What were his motivations? We had to meet him. Remarkably, Landis was hiding in plain sight at his mother’s house in Mississippi.

They are part of a wider project, Rumours of a New Planet, which I have undertaken over the last two years, following an invitation from Collective to devise an alternative way to access the potentialities present in a site rich in historical and associative narratives. My approach – both in this book and in the wider project – has been to consider Calton Hill as a central node in a network of ideas, events, people and spaces. As such, the essays in this book are not about Calton Hill, but instead represent a view from it, or more specifically, a view from a building positioned on its peak: the City Observatory.

    Paris, 1930, (Nov 7–21, 1930, Exposition d’Ary Stillman, Paysages & Compositions de Santa-Fe / Galerie Zak) Ary Stillman (1891 –1967) was an artist who, in spite of gaining recogni- tion in his day, is missing from the annals of art history. Yet the works he produced have stood the test of time and offer contemporary audi- ences new perspectives on the prevailing styles and infl uences of the past. Following his own independent and wayward course, Stillman took cues from his surroundings — be it Paris in the ’20s, New York in the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, or Mexico in the ’60s — and, while absorbing the stylistic innovations of these decades, translated them through his own particular vision to arrive ultimately at a unique, mature body of work. In tracing the evolution of Stillman’s art, one fi nds evidence of his early academic training in Russia, the lingering spell of Impressionism in Eu- rope in the early part of the twentieth century, and the mid-century impact of Abstract Expressionism in America. However, in examining his earliest works, one discovers another story — the story of a young Jewish boy in Russia seeking to fulfi ll his dream of becoming an artist against all odds. In the course of his lifetime, Stillman overcame poverty, politi- cal turmoil, and failing health to pursue that goal. His legacy is not only the more than 1500 works that he left behind, but also the inspirational example of his life.
