  • The Clark Art Institute
    CLARK ART INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES REVISED PLANS FOR SUMMER 2020 SEASON (Thursday, April 30, 2020) – The Clark Art Institute today announced a revised program for its summer 2020 season, reflecting changes necessitated by its current closure due to the global health crisis and the logistical challenges related to international travel and shipping restrictions. “At a time when our foremost priority is the health and well-being of all people, concerns over exhibition schedules are insignificant in the face of the human crisis we are confronting,” said Olivier Meslay, Hardymon Director of the Clark. “Like museums around the world, our plans and schedules are not immune to the disruptions caused by the global pandemic, and so, it was inevitable that we would need to reconsider our summer season. Although we don’t yet know when we will be able to reopen our doors to welcome visitors back to the Clark, we look forward to providing a lively mix of special exhibitions that will showcase many exciting concepts and artists and, of course, to sharing our permanent collection with our visitors.” Two exhibitions previously announced for summer 2020 presentations at the Clark have been rescheduled for summer 2021. Claude and François- Xavier Lalanne: Nature Transformed will now be on view at the Clark from May 8 to October 31, 2021. Nikolai Astrup: Visions of Norway will open at the Clark on June 19, 2021, for a three-month presentation, closing on September 19, 2021. “Although we are deeply disappointed that we will have to wait another year to bring these remarkable exhibitions to the Clark, we remain incredibly enthusiastic about both of these shows and are delighted that we will be able to present them in summer 2021.” Meslay said.

Carstensen, Director William F. Lott, Director of Research University of Connecticut 341 Mansfield Road Unit 1240 Storrs, CT 06269 Voice: 860-486-0485 Fax: 860-486-0204 http://ccea.uconn.edu Executive Summary The cultural arts constitute a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States and produce a total annual economic impact of over $3.4 billion in Massachusetts alone.1 These staggering numbers have spurred national interest in the economic impact of the arts, and have initiated extensive research by the RAND Corporation, Richard Florida of Carnegie Mellon University, and others. Growing national recognition of the value of the arts, in terms of economic generation and cultural benefit, has had particular resonance in the Berkshires. With the arts and tourism ranked a top sector of the region’s economy, cultural and community leaders have long recognized the importance of the distinctive cluster of cultural institutions in the Berkshires, and have actively pursued initiatives to further develop and sustain the creative economy of the region.2 In anticipation of fifty years of continuous, year-round public service in the Berkshires, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute commissioned the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis (CCEA) at the University of Connecticut in 2004 to analyze the Clark’s economic impact on the surrounding region.

    GRADUATE PROGRAM IN THE HISTORY OF ART Williams College/Clark Art Institute Summer 2003 NEWSLETTER The Class of 2003 at its Hooding Ceremony. Front row, from left to right: Pan Wendt, Elizabeth Winborne, Jane Simon, Esther Bell, Jordan Kim, Christa Carroll, Katie Hanson; back row: Mark Haxthausen, Ben Tilghman, Patricia Hickson, Don Meyer, Ellery Foutch, Kim Conary, Catherine Malone, Marc Simpson LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR CHARLES w.: (MARK) HAxTHAUSEN Faison-Pierson-Stoddard Professor of Art History, Director of the Graduate Program With the 2002-2003 academic year the Graduate Program began its fourth decade of operation. Its success during its first thirty years outstripped the modest mission that shaped the early planning for the program: to train for regional colleges art historians who were drawn to teaching careers yet not inclined to scholarship and hence having no need to acquire the Ph.D. (It was a different world then!) Initially, those who conceived of the program - members of the Clark's board of trustees and Williams College President Jack Sawyer - seem never to have imagined that it would attain the preeminence that it quickly achieved under the stewardship of its first directors, George Heard Hamilton, Frank Robinson, and Sam Edgerton. Today the Williams/Clark program enjoys an excellent reputation for preparing students for museum careers, yet this was never its declared mission; unlike some institutions, we have never offered a degree or even a specialization in "museum studies" or "museology." Since the time of George Hamilton, the program has endeavored simply to train art historians, and in doing so it has assumed that intimacy with objects is a sine qua non for the practice of art history.

The historic presentation drew critical acclaim across Europe and attracted some 370,000 visitors over the course of sixteen weeks, making it the fourth-highest-attended special exhibition in the Prado’s history. The exhibition marked the first time that the Clark’s entire Renoir collection was presented outside of Williamstown and initiated a cross-cultural collaboration between the two museums that will continue in 2014 when the Clark hosts an exhibition of Rubens, Velázquez, and other masterpieces from the Prado’s royal collections. • In March 2011, the Clark’s first international tour of eighty of the best of its nineteenth- century French paintings began with an exhibition at the Palazzo Reale in Milan that drew enthusiastic crowds and strong critical reviews. The exhibition then traveled to the Musée des impressionnismes in Giverny, where French audiences attended in record numbers to welcome these works to their country. The exhibition set new attendance records for the museum’s summer exhibition program. • The Clark’s educational outreach program for juvenile offenders, RAISE (Responding to Art Involves Self Expression), was honored by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with a Champions of Arts Education Advocacy Award for Outstanding Arts Collaborative in the field of Visual Arts.

  • Michael Conforti Director, Clark Art Institute Since Michael Conforti
    Michael Conforti Director, Clark Art Institute Since Michael Conforti joined the Clark as its director in 1994, the Institute has put new emphasis on its dual mission as both an art museum and a center for research and higher education. He has led the Clark in establishing a worldwide reputation as an international forum for the generation, discussion, and dissemination of ideas surrounding art and visual culture through the development of the Clark’s Research and Academic Program, as well as through its special exhibition program, its cultural exchange initiatives, and its engagement with contemporary art and artists, specially articulated through the Clark’s support of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), a partnership he initiated at the time of his arrival at the Institute. The growth of its programs and needed enhancements to its facilities gave the Clark the opportunity to reconsider the best use of its 140-acre site. Over the last decade, Conforti has worked with Tadao Ando Architect & Associates, Selldorf Architects, Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architecture, and Gensler to conceive a dramatic plan involving renovation and new construction that transforms the visitor experience of the Clark and provides the facilities the Clark requires to serve its programs and fulfill its mission. Conforti serves on the trustee executive committee of the Amon Carter Museum, and he is also a trustee of MASS MoCA. A member of the Hermitage International Advisory Committee, he is a former trustee of ICOM US (International Council on Museums) and was on the CIHA (Comité international d'histoire de l'art) National Committee for the History of Art (2000–12).
