For Immediate Release Cantor Arts Center Receives Three Major Gifts For immediate release Cantor Arts Center Receives Three Major Gifts of Work by Richard Diebenkorn, Jacob Lawrence and Andy Warhol Gifts from Stanford Alums and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts Increase Breadth and Depth of American Art Scholarship on Campus July 24, 2014 — Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University today announced three transformative gifts of work by seminal American artists Richard Diebenkorn, Jacob Lawrence, and Andy Warhol. Representing a variety of media, these gifts shed light on each artist’s practice and bring private holdings to public view. Consisting of 26 of Diebenkorn’s never-before-seen sketchbooks, a private collection of works by Lawrence that will make the Cantor home to the largest collection of his work on the West Coast, and 3600 of Warhol’s contact sheets and negatives that meticulously document his life, these gifts mark a monumental moment for the Cantor. Inspiring new classes, exhibitions, and scholarship, these gifts are tremendous resources to the university and international art community. "Thanks to the generosity of several visionary donors – the Diebenkorn family, the Kayden family, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts – the museum's permanent collection is now an even more vital resource for study and teaching,” said Connie Wolf, the John and Jill Friedenrich Director at the Cantor. “These singular works by Diebenkorn, Lawrence, and Warhol will support new interdisciplinary approaches to 20th-century American art and culture here at Stanford, and I couldn't be more thrilled." “These three gifts of art by world-class artists strengthen the Cantor's holdings in a variety of media,” said Elizabeth Kathleen Mitchell, the Cantor's Burton and Deedee McMurtry Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs. “They will inspire exciting exhibitions and fresh research on the complexities of 20th-century American art. With our talented staff, and our brilliant faculty and students, these gifts will be widely appreciated and well cared for.” Richard Diebenkorn's “Portable Studio” Throughout his long career, renowned postwar American artist Richard Diebenkorn '49, always carried a sketchbook with him, which he referred to as his “portable studio.” Never before exhibited or studied, these 26 sketchbooks contain between 1200 and 1400 drawings that span his career and represent the range of styles and subjects he explored. These works were gifted by Diebenkorn’s widow, Phyllis G. Diebenkorn, (Stanford University class of 1942), with support from his daughter Gretchen Diebenkorn Grant '67 and MFA '69, and son-in-law Richard Grant, the executive director of the Diebenkorn Foundation. Diebenkorn (social class '44, degree conferred '49) took art classes at Stanford with professors Victor Arnautoff and Daniel Mendlowitz and, later, continued his studies at the University of California, Berkeley, the California School of Fine Arts, and the University of New Mexico, all of which left a lasting impression in his career. With this gift, the Cantor provides an unparalleled resource for international scholarship on Diebenkorn. The sketchbooks provide unique and invaluable insight into the artist’s creative and intellectual processes and complement the two drawings, four prints and four paintings by the artist already in the Cantor’s permanent collection. This gift will be the basis for scholarly projects and programming investigating their relation to the historic tradition of the artist’s sketchbook. The sketchbooks will be fully digitized, both as individual images and as interactive digital sketchbooks, to support international study and scholarship. Mitchell, plans to feature a selection of the sketchbooks in the exhibition Artists at Work, scheduled to open in the fall of 2015, which is timed to coincide with the opening of the new McMurtry Building for the Department of Art and Art History. The Range of Jacob Lawrence’s Career Dr. Herbert J. Kayden of New York City and his daughter Joelle Kayden MBA ’81, of Washington, D.C. have given the Cantor a collection of 26 works by Jacob Lawrence plus one by his wife, Gwendolyn Knight, in memory of Dr. Gabrielle H. Reem, Herbert Kayden’s wife and Joelle Kayden’s mother. This gift brings private collection to public view, and creates the largest collection of Lawrence’s works on the West Coast. The collection includes eleven drawings, five paintings, nine prints, one illustrated book and one painting by Lawrence's wife, in addition to an archive of collection-related materials, and showcases the full range of his career. Of particular significance are the iconic painting The Ordeal of Alice (1963) and drawings such as Poster Design for the Whitney Exhibition (1974) that demonstrate his mastery of color and form. The inaugural exhibition of the gift scheduled for early 2015 will be the first Bay Area solo exhibition of Lawrence’s work since 1993. This exhibition will grow out of curator Elizabeth Kathleen Mitchell’s course, Anatomy of an Exhibition, where undergraduate and graduate students will design the installation and write the exhibition texts. She also will be collaborating with faculty to integrate Lawrence works into existing courses, such as Global Harlem Renaissance, From Freedom to Freedom Now! African American History 1865–1965, Culture Wars: Art and Social Conflict in the USA 1890-1950. A full-color publication reflecting interdisciplinary understanding of the artist and his legacy with essays by Stanford faculty will accompany the inaugural exhibition. The Cantor will collaboratively develop engagement opportunities with other Stanford organizations. 3600 of Andy Warhol’s Contact Sheets and Negatives This photographic archive of 3600 contact sheets and corresponding negatives builds upon the Cantor’s existing collection of Warhol works and reaffirms the university's preeminence in the study of the history of photography. From 1976 until his death in 1987, Warhol used his Minox 35EL camera to meticulously document his daily life. This gift represents the complete range of work and include images of the celebrities and artists of the era, such as Truman Capote and John Lennon. This archive offers insight into his artistic process, as images selected for printing are circled on his contact sheets, and rejections marked with an X. Through an invitation-only competition among some of the nation’s leading art museums, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts selected Cantor Arts Center as the permanent home of Andy Warhol’s archive of contact sheets and negatives. As a university art museum situated at a campus with accomplished faculty and students, the Cantor is ideally situated to care for the collection, facilitate new scholarship, and engage with broad audiences through new exhibitions, programs and publications. Funds are being raised for a permanent, restricted endowment dedicated to the archive’s storage, conservation, digitization and staff. The Cantor will digitize the full archive and make them accessible online. A consortium of departments, faculty and professional staff will collaborate on programs for this revolutionary teaching resource. Professor Richard Meyer and Cantor Director Connie Wolf will teach a course on the archive in spring 2015, with other courses in development. The inaugural exhibition and a major international symposium is scheduled for 2017, the 30th anniversary of Warhol's death. About the Cantor Arts Center Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University is a vital and dynamic institution with a venerable history. Founded in 1891 with the university, the historic museum was expanded and in 1999. The Cantor’s encyclopedic collection spans 5,000 years, includes more than 40,000 artworks and beckons visitors to travel around the world and through time: from Africa to the Americas to Asia, from classical to contemporary. With 24 galleries presenting selections from the collection and more than 20 special exhibitions each year, the Cantor serves Stanford’s academic community, draws art lovers from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond and attracts campus visitors from around the world. Free admission, free tours, lectures, family activities plus changing exhibitions make the Cantor one of the most well- attended university art museums in the country and a great resource for teaching and research on campus. # # # National media contacts: Ilana Simon Rubin / Megan Ardery Resnicow Schroeder Associates 720-746-9552 / 212-671-5178 [email protected] / [email protected] Local media contacts: Anna Koster Robin Wander Cantor Arts Center Stanford University 650-725-4657 650-724-6184 [email protected] [email protected] .

  • Stanford University: a World-Class Legacy
    California’s Stanford University: A World-Class Legacy Author’s Note: This article “California’s Stanford University: A World-Class Legacy” is also a chapter in my travel guidebook/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebookin Chinese. Parallel coverage on Northern California occurs in my latest travel guidebook/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. All my travel guidebooks/ebooks on California can be seen on myAmazon Author Page. By Lee Foster On October 1, 1891, Senator Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane, officially opened Leland Stanford Junior University. The school became one of the premier institutions of higher education and loveliest campuses in the West. For today’s traveler, headed for the San Francisco region in Northern California, Stanford University is a cultural enrichment to consider including in a trip. The University owes its existence to a tragic death while the Stanford family was on a European Trip in Florence, Italy. After typhoid fever took their only child, a 15- year-old son, the Stanfords decided to turn their 8,200-acre stock farm into the Leland Stanford Junior University. They expressed their desire with the phrase that “the children of California may be our children.” Years later the cerebral establishment is still called by some “The Farm.” Leland Stanford had used the grounds to raise prize trotter racehorses, orchard crops, and wine grapes. The early faculty built homes in Palo Alto, one neighborhood of which became “Professorville.” In a full day of exploration you can visit the campus, adjacent Palo Alto, and the nearby Palo Alto Baylands marshes of San Francisco Bay, a delight to the naturalist.
