Small Secreta^ of the Smithsphian Institution • ,8 NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART Washington, D.C. The National Gallery of Art as seen from the Capitol Building n my first year as president of the National Gallery of Art, 1 have been privileged to work with a truly remarkable and dedicated team in fulfilling the Gallery's mandate of excellence. The Board of Trustees and Trustees' Council have provided extraordinary leadership and support this year, as have Rusty Powell, the Gallery's director, and the entire staff". I also want to congratulate Robert H. Smith, who retired from the board after eighteen years of exemplary service as trustee, including the last ten as president. It is a pleasure to serve on the Board of Trustees with Robert F. Erburu of Los Angeles, who Dcontinues as chairman; John C. Fontaine of New York City; Julian Ganz,Jr., oi" Los Angeles; and David O. Maxwell of Washington, D.C., all of whom continue as general trustees. The Chief Justice of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution serve as ex-officio trustees. The Trustees' Council, a national advisory body to the board, continues to offer invaluable counsel and assistance to the Gallery. We extend a warm welcome to two new members of the Council in 2004: Betsy K. Karel of Washington, DC., and Frederick W. Beinecke of New York City. My fellow trustees and I are grateful to Jack Fontaine, chair of the Council, and to all of our Council members for their dedication and generosity. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of my involvement with the Gallery is to see how Andrew W. Mellon's vision of a national art collection continues to be nurtured today. No single gift this fiscal year captures Mr. Mellon's ideal more beautifully than John Wilinerding's gift and promised gift to the Gallery of his acclaimed nineteenth-century American art collection. Fifty-one masterpieces by George Caleb Bingham, Martin Johnson Heade, Frederic Edwin Church, Fitz Hugh Lane, Winslow Homer, and Thomas Eakins, among others, which were featured in the year's special exhibition American Masters from Bingham to Eakins: The John Wilmerding Collection, reflect his pas- sion for American art as a scholar, collector, and benefactor. This gift of Professor Wilmerding, a Trustees' Council member and former deputy director of the Gallery, provides our visitors with a rich appreciation of our nation's artistic heritage. Gifts such as this demonstrate the strength of the ongoing partnership between the federal gov- ernment and the private sector which has created and continues to sustain the excellence of the Gallery's collections and programs. I speak for the trustees in reiterating our deep appreciation to the President and the Congress for their steadfast commitment to the Gallery. The federal government's support of our operations and maintenance is crucial funding that enables us to present our renowned collections and programs to millions of visitors year-round free of charge. We are also grateful for the generosity of many individuals, foundations, and corporations supporting a wide range of programs, such as art acquisitions, special exhibitions, educational activities, scholarly research, library acquisitions, and conservation. Among the most important of these activities are the Gallery's special exhibitions, which were strengthened by several significant gifts in fiscal year 2004. We are particularly grateful for the Annenberg Foundation's commitment to the Gallery's Fund for the International Exchange of Art providing endowment funds for the exhibitions program.The Gallery also received a leadership gift from the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation to sponsor several major exhibitions, including this spring's presentation of Courtly Art of the Ancient Maya. My fellow trustees and I also would like to express our appreciation to H. R. H. Prince Bandar bin Sultan, Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the United States, for his generous sponsorship of Palace and Mosque: Islamic Art from the Victoria and Albert Museum. Our warmest thanks also go to Altria Group, Grupo Televisa, S.A., Lehman-Smith + McLeish, and Target Stores for helping make some of our special exhibitions possible this year. 4 Th, f, | e Galler, . y relie|. s solel11 y on gift. f s ot/ - In addition to the Wilmerding gift, the U % - , acquisitions, including a generous gift from The Glenstone Foundation, found- ed by Mitchell P.

A SAN FORD GIFFORD Annual giving through the Collectors Committee and The Circle of the National Gallery of Art The Artist Sketching at is important to the success of many programs. Since 1975, the Gallery's modern and contemporary Mount Desert, Maine art collection has been enhanced with works purchased through the yearly contributions of the Gift (Partial and Collectors Committee, a group of leading collectors and arts patrons from around the country. At Promised) of Jo Ann and its spring 2004 meeting, the Committee voted to use its funds to acquire Lee Bontecou's Untitled, Julian Ganz in honor of 1962, giving the Gallery its first major work by this renowned postwar artist. The Board of Trustees John Wilmerding would like to thank the Committees co-chairs, Barney A. Ebsworth and Doris Fisher, for their leadership and all Collectors Committee members for their ongoing support. This year we welcomed Mary Jo Kirk and Edward J. Mathias, both ofWashington, DC., as co-chairs of The Circle, succeeding Juliet C. Folger and Marina K. French. Mary Jo and Ed lead a program that numbers more than eleven hundred members nationwide and provides annual unrestricted funding for essential Gallery activities. We look forward to working with them in the coming years and extend our appreciation to Julie and Marina for their enthusiastic and dedicated leadership to this vital Gallery constituency. We are profoundly grateful to the federal government and private donors for their ongoing commitment and to the millions each year who visit in person or online. The National Gallery of Art is an inestimable gift to the nation and to the world, made possible through extraordinary vision and enduring generosity. We remain steadfast in upholding the tradition of excellence that has distinguished this great institution since its founding. Victoria P. Sant American Masters from Bingham to Eakins: The John Wilmerding Collection DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT iscal year 2004 was a year of exciting activity as the National Gallery of Art enhanced its collections, explored great art of many centuries and cultures in special exhibitions, found new ways to make our treasures available at home and abroad, and preserved the works of art in our care. Continuing in the tradition begun by Andrew W. Mellon, generous donors enriched the collection with gifts of art. Notable among these was John Wilmerding's extraordinary collection of American paintings, watercolors, and drawings from the mid-to-late-nineteenth century, presented in an exhibition in May. It was great cause for celebration when he announced that all the works would remain at the Gallery and that Mississippi Boatman, one of George Caleb Bingham's acclaimed scenes of frontier river life, would be an immediate gift.

Interview ANN WILSON: [In progress] "—happened as if it didn't come out of himself and his fixation but merged. It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice. What if it has come to be without external to us and what we read it to be then and heighten it toward that reading? If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it. External and forget the internal ordering that brought it about and without the final decision of what that ordering was about and our emphasis of it, other eyes would miss the chosen point and feel the lack of emphasis.

THE Again I objected and again four times." ^ By thus confronting the formidable presiding of­ ficer on January 6, 1937, Congressman John Toussaint Bernard of the Eighth District of northeastern Minne­ ONE MAN sota began his first and only term in the United States House of Representatives. Although he knew this out­ burst was considered unbecoming to a freshman con­ gressman, Bernard held convictions that would not WHO allow him to accept the attempt of the speaker of the House to hurry through the unanimous-consent reso­ lution in question. That resolution would have per­ mitted the measure on the ffoor — a "neutrality" VOTED measure to prohibit the sale of munitions to either the republican Loyalist or the challenging rebel Fas­ cist factions in the civil war that had been ravaging Spain for the six months since July, 1936 — to be "NAY" considered and voted upon without first being sub­ mitted to committee for debate. Later on the same day, January 6, Bernard further jeopardized his career by voting against the arms em­ bargo resolution. It had been urgently forwarded to Congress by President Franklin D.

    Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri

    Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri. Compiled and Edited by David E. Richards Special Collections & Archives Department Duane G. Meyer Library Missouri State University Springfield, Missouri Last updated: September 16, 2012 This guide was made possible through a grant from the Richard S. Brownlee Fund from the State Historical Society of Missouri and support from Missouri State University. Introduction Missouri has a wealth of oral history recordings that document the rich and diverse population of the state. Beginning around 1976, libraries, archives, individual researchers, and local historical societies initiated oral history projects and began recording interviews on audio cassettes. The efforts continued into the 1980s. By 2000, digital recorders began replacing audio cassettes and collections continued to grow where staff, time, and funding permitted. As with other states, oral history projects were easily started, but transcription and indexing efforts generally lagged behind. Hundreds of recordings existed for dozens of discreet projects, but access to the recordings was lacking or insufficient. Larger institutions had the means to transcribe, index, and catalog their oral history materials, but smaller operations sometimes had limited access to their holdings. Access was mixed, and still is. This guide attempts to aggregate nearly all oral history holdings within the state and provide at least basic, minimal access to holdings from the largest academic repository to the smallest county historical society. The effort to provide a guide to the oral history collections of Missouri started in 2002 with a Brownlee Fund Grant from the State Historical Society of Missouri. That initial grant provided the seed money to create and send out a mail-in survey.

    Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas

    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript
