Born into privilege and groomed for a life of conservative ease, Wagstaff chucked off his reputation as "the debs' darling" and dove into the art scene, making his mark as an iconoclastic curator with exhibitions celebrating late- flowering Abstract Expressionism and burgeoning Minimalism.

    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

    Saturday, February 18, 2012 Getty leaders' ancient issues Leaders' like minds * CEO James Cuno and Director Timothy Potts have shared beliefs on antiquities. Home Edition, Calendar, Page D-1 Entertainment Desk 30 inches; 1216 words By Jason Felch, Over the last five years, the J. Paul Getty Museum has earned a reputation as a leading reformer on a topic that has embroiled American museums in scandal for the past decade: the acquisition of looted antiquities. After evidence of the museum's participation in the illicit trade was uncovered by Italian and Greek investigators, the Getty agreed to return 49 prized pieces of ancient art, cultivated collaborative relationships with those countries and adopted a strict acquisition policy that has been used as a model by museums across the country. But when Timothy Potts starts as director of the Getty Museum with Getty Trust CEO James Cuno as his boss, the institution will be led by two men who opposed the adoption of some of those reforms. Cuno has denounced repatriation claims of looted antiquities as "nationalistic" and argued against placing limits on museum purchases of objects with an uncertain origin. Potts, whose appointment Cuno announced this week, has echoed some of those views. He played a central role in establishing lenient acquisition standards for American museums -- which were eventually abandoned -- as a member of the Assn. of Art Museum Directors, which sets ethical guidelines for art museums. A highly respected museum director and Oxford-trained archaeologist, Potts was well positioned to wrestle with the looting issue. From 1983 to 1989, he was co-director of the University of Sydney's excavations in Pella, Jordan.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Anarchic Intimacies: Queer Friendship and Erotic Bonds A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English by Laurence Hilary Dumortier March 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Jennifer Doyle, Chairperson Dr. Steven Gould Axelrod Dr. George E. Haggerty Copyright by Laurence Hilary Dumortier 2017 The Dissertation of Laurence Hilary Dumortier is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge the tremendous support and guidance of my dissertation committee, Jennifer Doyle, Steven Gould Axelrod and George E. Haggerty. Their advice, suggestions and encouragement have been invaluable. I also want to recognize how inspiring they have been to me as examples of brilliant scholarship, dedicated teaching, and personal integrity. I’m also grateful to Stephen Koch who granted me several lengthy personal interviews about his recollections of Peter Hujar and David Wojnarowicz, and who allowed me to study previously unpublished photographs and contact sheets from the Peter Hujar Archive. iv ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Anarchic Intimacies: Queer Friendship and Erotic Bonds by Laurence Hilary Dumortier Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in English University of California, Riverside, March 2017 Dr. Jennifer Doyle, Chairperson What makes a friendship “queer”? The queerness of the friendships I will explore in this project is, in part related to, but not co-extensive with, the sexual orientation of its participants. In all of the pairings I examine, at least one, if not both, of the friends is non- heterosexual. However, what makes the “queerness” of each of these friendships is not only the orientation of its participants, but the relationship’s exceeding of the conventional boundaries and definitions of friendships.

  • What Is Contemporary Art? Tate Modern, Sydney Style, and Art to Come
    What is Contemporary Art? Tate Modern, Sydney Style, and Art to Come TERRY SMITH' In attempting some answers to the question 'What is contemporary art?' in this lecture, I seek to respond to the responsibilities implied in the title of the chair that I hold as Director of the Power Institute. I wish to honour both its founding benefactor, artist and philanthropist John Joseph Wardell Power, as well as the field of artistic practice to which he was committed, as am 1. How I approach the question will, I hope, also reflect my commitments to the broader artistic field named in the title conferred on me by the Faculty of Arts when I was awarded a personal chair. It will seem natural, then-as well, of course, as being culturally entirely predictable-to tackle the question of the contemporary by setting it within the frameworks of modernity. It is a curious fact that the word 'contemporary' has come to replace the words 'modem' and 'postmodern' as a descriptor of the consequential art of our time. It is equally curious that the * Terry Smith has held a personal chair in Modem Art History and Theory and has been Power Professor of Contemporary Art and Director of the Power Institute at the University of Sydney. This article is based on a professorial lecture given on I May 2001. The lecture was sponsored by the Arts Association, together with the Fine Arts Alumni and Friends Association, the Power Institute, and the Department of Art History and Theory. Professor Smith is to spend part of 2001 and 2002 as Scholar at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, and from September this year is Andrew Mellon Professor of Contemporary Art at the University of Pittsburgh.

  • Persia and the Classical World
    Advance Book Information Frankfurt 2019 ADVANCE BOOK INFORMATION Persia and the Classical World A comprehensive survey of Persia’s encounters, cultural exchanges, and economic entanglements with the classical world across more than eleven centuries The ancient Greeks viewed the Persian Empire, which reached from the borders of Greece to India, as a vastly wealthy and powerful rival, and often as an existential threat. When the Macedonian king Alexander the Great finally defeated the Persians in 331 BCE, Greek culture spread throughout the Near East, but Persian dynasties soon reestablished themselves. The rise of the Roman Empire as a world power quickly brought it, too, into conflict with Persia. Conceived to accompany a major international loan exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, this ambitious and deeply researched volume will trace the interactions and influences between Persia and the classical world during three major phases of the former’s evolution: the Achaemenid Period (ca. 550–330 BCE), the Parthian Empire (247 BCE–AD 224), and the Sasanian Empire (AD 224–651). • Explores the artistic, political, intellectual, and religious relations between Persia, Greece, and Rome from 550 BCE to AD 651 • Features a wealthy of color illustrations and seventeen fascinating essays by established scholars of antiquity • Appeals to a range of audiences, including historians of ancient art and culture, archaeologists, and nonspecialists EDITORS Jeffrey Spier is senior curator in the Department of Antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum. Timothy Potts is director of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Spier and Potts are coeditors of Beyond the Nile: Egypt and the Classical World (Getty Publications, 2018).

    Curriculum vitae Antony Galton September 5, 2012 Name Antony Peter Galton Date of birth 23rd July 1952 Qualifications B.A. (Cantab) Mathematics (First Class), 1974 Ph.D. (Leeds) Philosophy, 1981 Appointments: 1984–86 Research Fellow, Department of Philosophy, University of Leeds 1987–98 Lecturer in Computer Science, University of Exeter 1998– Reader in Knowledge Representation, University of Exeter 1 Research (a) General description of research fields I gained my Ph.D. from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Leeds, where I was supervised by Dr Timothy Potts. The title of my thesis was The Logic of Aspect: An Inquiry into the Semantic Structure of Ordinary Temporal Discourse. In it I extended the Tense Logic formalism of Arthur Prior to provide an account of aspectual phenomena in language. This required the introduction of a far-reaching distinction between states and events, which was incorporated into the formalism. After gaining my PhD I revised my thesis for publication; it was published in 1984 by Oxford University Press under the title The Logic of Aspect: An Axiomatic Approach. I was appointed to a research fellowship in Philosophy at Leeds in 1985. There I continued working on temporal logic formalisms, but now with a focus on potential applications in the area of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. While there, I organised a conference on Temporal Logics and their Applications, which brought together both Computer Scientists and Philosophers for a fruitful two-day meeting. A collection of papers from the conference, under my editorship, was published by Academic Press in 1987. I was appointed to a lectureship in Computer Science at Exeter in 1987.

Pope Julius II Della Rovere (born 1445, reigned 1503-13) commissioned more than two dozen medals, the earliest of which date from his cardinalate. Using semiotics and social art history, I place the medals in their appropriate political and art historical contexts while investigating the various sign systems employed in these complex works of art. Portrait medals are double-sided objects inspired by ancient Roman coins. They allowed patrons to fashion personae using words and images with references to antiquity and princely authority. The reproducible format was distributed to nobles and diplomats, often with propagandistic intentions. Ruling during an exceptionally turbulent period in which the papacy was threatened by internal and external forces, Julius and his advisors shrewdly exploited portrait medals in order to project an image of strength and reassert Petrine authority.
