  • Press Release (PDF)
    Two Chairs, located in an “old-school” apartment in Yorkville, in Manhattan, positions two cultural producers in dialogue via their production. mice: Haim Steinbach and Julia Weist April 4th –May 9th 2014 Appropriation and ready-made are terms that this small exhibition deliberately avoids. What is presented here is a layering of intentions that stress the confines of art production and art history prompting other ways of presenting and thinking about a work of art. In dialogue with each other, these two works by Steinbach and Weist inform thought surrounding audience and reception, interpretation and misinterpretation. Haunting this project is Michel de Certeau’s 1974 work The Practice of Everyday Life; a contribution to the field of Cultural Studies in relation to the everyday that focuses attention from producer onto consumer, reader and audience. De Certeau recalls an experience visiting a particular regional museum in Vermont; he imagines past users and past communities through the museum’s intricate fabrication of a lived reality revealed in the arrangement of objects on display, in that moment crystallizing his thinking about proverbs and popular language; like objects, meaning in language is contingent not only on context and history but also on the “marks” left by use.: “Was it fate? I remember the marvelous Shelburne Museumi in Vermont where, in thirty-five houses of a reconstructed village, all the signs, tools, and products of nineteenth-century everyday life teem; everything, from cooking utensils and pharmaceutical goods to weaving instruments, toilet articles, and children’s toys can be found in profusion. The display includes innumerable familiar objects, polished, deformed, or made more beautiful by long use; everywhere there are as well the marks of the active hands and laboring or patient bodies for which these things composed the daily circuits, the fascinating presence of absences whose traces were everywhere.

To many who pick up this volume, the concept of an estate area, a “Gold Coast,” in this section of the South Shore of Long Island will be a new concept. In truth it is an old reality; preceding the development of Long Island’s North Shore Gold Coast by some forty years. Spending the Spring and Autumn months in this area of western Suffolk County on the land that slopes down to the Great South Bay with the Atlantic Ocean visible on the horizon beyond Fire Island was such a social phenomenon that the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and local newspapers announced the rental intentions and seasonal arrivals of families.

The exhibition of 51 paintings by 26 American artists will be on view at the National Gallery of Art's East Building, May 9, 2004 through February 6, 2005. Works by such masters as George Caleb Bingham, Frederic Edwin Church, Thomas Eakins, William Stanley Haseltine, Martin Johnson Heade, Fitz Hugh Lane, John Marin, John F. Peto, and William Trost Richards represent four decades of collecting in an area of particular scholarly interest to Wilmerding. "Over the course of his career John Wilmerding has become one of the most respected and widely known authorities on American art. His many books and articles have helped define the scholarly nature of the field as a whole and have also documented the works of key figures. John has organized many exhibitions on American art and through his teaching and lectures he has introduced literally thousands to the wonders and complexities of our national art," said Earl A. Powell III, director of the National Gallery of Art.

Thompson, Joseph J. Rishel, Eileen Owens, Timothy Rub, eds. Impressionism and Post-Impressionism: Highlights from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2019. 216 pp. $35.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-87633-289-4. Reviewed by Nancy Locke (Pennsylvania State University) Published on H-Pennsylvania (January, 2021) Commissioned by Jeanine Mazak-Kahne (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=55313 The collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art stands as one of the richest in the nation. It is not surprising that the institution would want to document it in book form. The questions that arise, however, concern the form that such a book should take. Curators necessarily considered how much of the vast collection should be included, and how many works should be illustrated. If these movements are primarily French, how many non-French artists should appear? What should the balance be between painting and other art forms? And is the audience for the book primarily members of the museum-going public, scholars specializing in the artists featured, or perhaps readers discovering the art for the first time? There may be no correct answers to these questions, and I would like to stress that as I sketch the way I think Jennifer A. Thompson and her collaborators chose to structureImpressionism and Post-Impressionism: Highlights from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
