White House Office, Office of the Special Assistant for Executive Appointments; Records, 1952-61 DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS WHITE HOUSE OFFICE, OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ASSISTANT FOR EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS; RECORDS, 1952-61 Pre-Accession Processed by: JAW, JL Date Completed: November 23, 1972 The records of the Office of the Special Assistant for Executive Appointments were deposited in the Eisenhower Library in 1961. Because this accession is considered part of President Eisenhower’s papers, it is covered by the letter of gift of Dwight D. Eisenhower to Franklin Floete, dated April 13, 1960. Linear Feet shelf space occupied: 33.2 Approximate number of pages: 61,540 Approximate number of items: 50,340 Literary rights in these papers are vested in the People of the United States. As indicated in President Eisenhower’s letter of April 13, 1960, the following classes of documents will be withheld from research use: 1. Papers that are security-classified pursuant to law or Executive Order until such classification shall be removed. 2. Papers the use of which may be prejudicial to the maintenance of good relations with foreign nations. 3. Papers containing statements made by or to me in confidence. 4. Papers relating to my family or private business affairs, and papers relating to the families or private business affairs of persons who have had correspondence with me. 5. Papers containing statements about individuals which might be used to injure or harass them or members of their families. 6. Such other individual files as I, or my representative, or the Administrator of General Services may specify. HISTORICAL NOTE When the Eisenhower Administration took office in 1953, the Republicans lacked a coordinated program to handle the job of filling Presidential appointments and other jobs outside the U.S. Civil Service with people who were both competent and politically acceptable. President Eisenhower recommended that such a program be worked out and appointed Charles F. Willis Jr., as Special Assistant to coordinate its development. In May 1954 Mr. Willis sent a prospectus to all Federal departments, Republican senators and congressmen, and other interested officials. In June of that same year the program went into effect. The Office of Special Assistant for Executive Appointments continued to function until the end of the administration. After Charles Willis left the post, the position of Special Assistant was held successively by Edward Tait, Robert Gray, and Robert Hampton. SCOPE AND CONTENT The collection of records of the Office of Special Assistant for Executive Appointments generated during the Eisenhower Administration focuses on the patronage appointments of the executive branch of the federal government for the period 1953-1961. More than three-fourths of this accession consists of data used by the Office of the Special Assistant for Executive Appointments. This data was kept in two files, an index and a biographical file. The personnel index was developed as a tracking device to locate correspondence concerning endorsements. Most, if not all, of this correspondence is filed in the Central Files and may be found by reference to that file without the use of this index. The biographical file contains biographical sketches of members of the administration and possible candidates for appointive positions. These sketches, which appear to have been written by both the staff and the applicants, contain information called from various Who’s Whos, trade journals, and newspapers as well as information supplied by the applicants. A small portion of the file relates to the identification of positions which needed to be filled. Notebooks were kept which contained information on appointive offices within the departments and independent agencies. Each entry listed the name of the incumbent, the length of his term, his duties and salary was well as the laws governing appointment. There is also correspondence, memoranda, lists and reports on upcoming vacancies, resignations, appointments, and evaluations of the effectiveness of the program. About 9% of this accession is composed of miscellaneous material generated by the special patronage assistants and those who shared their office. Included in this file are: material on the operation of the National Citizens for Eisenhower Congressional Committee during the 1954 campaign, drafts of speeches on disarmament and radio-active material, copies of Robert Cutler’s outgoing letters from the fall of 1956, campaign speeches of Mary Keedick and Robert Gray, a Republican Speech Kit for 1956, speeches of Robert Gray on the budget and the “New Republicanism,” 1960 campaign material, and drafts of the 1961 State of the Union Message.

Douglas Gordon's k.364, at the Gagosian Gallery, follows two musicians travelling to Warsaw. Photograph: Mike Bruce By Jonathan Jones, 7 March 2011 Douglas Gordon is as profound, serious, imaginative and stylistically bold as anyone could wish an artist to be. He has matured in richer, more surprising ways than any of his contemporaries. He is the best British artist of my generation and I am glad his sublime exhibition now on at London's Gagosian Gallery gives me an opportunity to say so. The powerful qualities of Gordon's art grip you right at the start of this exhibition in a photograph of an arm holding a candle. The candle is lit and has been burning for some time, dripping great grotesque dollops of wax. With a shock, you observe how the hot wax has flowed in rivulets that 6 – 2 4 B R I T A N N I A S T R E E T L O N D O N W C 1 X 9 J D T . 0 2 0 . 7 2 9 2 . 8 2 2 2 F . 0 2 0 . 7 2 9 2 . 8 2 2 0 L O N D O N @ G A G O S I A N .

  • New Works on Video by Young British Artists to Open at the Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release December 1997 NEW WORKS ON VIDEO BY YOUNG BRITISH ARTISTS TO OPEN AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART New Video from Great Britain December 16,1997-February 1,1998 New Video from Great Britain, a survey of the remarkable new wave of work that has emerged from London and Glasgow in recent years, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on December 16, 1997. The program presents notable work by already established figures, such as Sam Taylor-Wood and Douglas Gordon, as well as emerging artists, some of whom are showing in New York for the first time. The two-hour program will be shown continuously in the Garden Hall Video Gallery on the Museum's third floor through February 1, 1998. The exhibition highlights the continuing penchant for conceptual- and performance-based works among young British video artists. Addressing themes of the body, personal identity, and subjectivity in ways that are provocative and playful, ironic and insightful, these works reveal an easygoing familiarity with popular culture that characterizes much of contemporary British life. "Simply and spontaneously shot (often on little more than a domestic camcorder), these 20 or so pieces have a visual impact, flair and invention that belies their low-tech origins and reverberates long after each tape has played," writes Steven Bode, Director of the Film and Video Umbrella, London, who organized the exhibition in conjunction with Barbara London, Associate Curator, and Sally Berger, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Video, The Museum of Modern Art. -more- 11 West 53 Street, New York, New York 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 2 "At first glance the young artists in this show appear to use the video camera to capture ordinary gestures, such as simply putting on clothes.

  • BRIAN SEWELL, LESLIE WADDINGTON and ART of the NINETIES: the COLLECTORS THAT DEFINED LONDON's ART WORLD from the 1950S TO
    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : 2 6 SEPTEMBER 2 0 1 6 BRIAN SEWELL, LESLIE WADDINGTON AND ART OF THE NINETIES : THE COLLECTORS THAT DEFINED LONDON’S ART WORLD FROM THE 1950s TO PRESENT DAY Top Row (L to R): Matthias Stomer, Brian Sewell and John Craxton, Middle Row (L to R): Leslie Waddington, Jean Dubuffet and Francis Picabia, Bottom Row (L to R): Douglas Gordon, Damien Hirst and Glenn Brown London – This autumn Christie’s will offer works from three private collections that trace the development and trajectory of the London art scene from the 1950s to present day. This begins with the collection of Brian Sewell, the Evening Standard’s late art critic, who was a Specialist in the Old Master Department at Christie’s in the 1950s and 60s, having graduated in Art History at the Courtauld Institute, and nurtured a keen appetite for Renaissance works that span the 1500s through to Modern British artists of the mid-20th century. He built up a distinctive collection and 248 lots will be offered on 27 September including paintings by the Flemish artist Matthias Stomer, works on paper by the likes of Daniele da Volterra and Joseph Anton Koch, and the British Modernism of Duncan Grant and Eliot Hodgkin. One of the most influential collectors that developed London’s tastes was Leslie Waddington, who arrived in the city in 1957 and went on to become one of the most prominent fine art dealers in modern times, introducing the art world to artists from Jean Dubuffet to Patrick Caulfield, bringing the British and European aesthetic to America for the first time, and American Abstract Expressionism to London.

  • Deep Frieze London 10.09.17
    VENUS MANHATTAN LOS ANGELES Deep Frieze London 10.09.17 Left: Dealer Nicholas Logsdail. Right: Dealer Agnieska Rayzacher, artist Nalalia LL, and curator Alison Gingeras. (All photos: Linda Yablonsky) THE GREAT GIFT Frieze London bestowed on art aficionados this year was to propel them into galleries and museums. Not that Frieze itself didn’t offer benefits. Female artists were notable for their quantity and, in the case of a special section curated by Alison Gingeras, historical impact as well as stick-it-in-your-face, pro- sex feminism. In the age of Trump the Aggressor, that’s risky business. It may not be entirely profitable business, but it is, at least, desirable. The fair also had an especially good program of talks put together by the estimable Ralph Rugoff, director of the Hayward Gallery, who no doubt welcomed the task while his museum undergoes extensive renovations. But if you wanted to be absorbed by art, or cozy up to it unmolested by surging crowds and deafening chatter, then you ventured to the institutions beyond Regent’s Park.

  • Rough Riders
    ROUGH RIDERS USS Maine, a second-class battleship built between 1888 and 1895, was sent to Havana in January 1898 to protect American interests during revolt of the Cubans against the Spanish government. In the evening of 15 February 1898, Maine sank when her forward gunpowder magazines exploded. Nearly three- quarters of the battleship's crew died from the explosion. American popular opinion blamed Spain and war followed within a few months. The U.S. prepared for war with Spain in Cuba. The U.S. Army, under-manned and ill-prepared for war, began mobilization for the coming conflict a week before President McKinley's April 23 call for volunteers. Within days recruiting offices were swamped with patriotic young men, eager to serve in the anticipated conflict. Training began almost immediately, at several posts and stations around the United States. One of the eager volunteers was the 40-year-old Under Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt who wanted to enhance his own personal role on the fields of combat. The previous December, he had made his feelings about armed conflict clear in his comments to the Naval War College that, "No triumph of peace is quite as great as the supreme triumphs of war”. One of Roosevelt's friends in Washington, D.C. was an Army surgeon, Dr. Leonard Wood, who had served in the Indian Campaigns under General Nelson Miles. On April 8, just weeks before the mobilization of the Army, Dr. Wood was issued the Medal of Honor for personal heroism during the Apache Campaign in Arizona Territory in the summer of 1886.
