Changing lives. Now in our second decade, NAAM remains a necessary and vibrant museum in the Pacific Northwest for deepening cultural relevancy, fostering unity, and improving the quality of life for all. NAAM is a museum of, for, and by the community. Thanks to your support, 2019 was a year of major achievements. We launched into record-breaking attendance in January 2019 with over 36,000 people visiting the museum in 2019. Over 2,200 people attended the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration alone. Awards flowed to NAAM in 2019, including the 2019 Exhibition of the Year Award for NAAM’s Bold as Love: Jimi Hendrix at Home by the Association of King County Historical Organizations. NAAM is so much more than a museum. We are an important gathering place for reflection and discovery, a place for social connections and identity-building, a community resource offering impactful programming. NAAM asserts a leading voice for social justice and racial equity; for Black art, culture, and history; for educational empowerment. On behalf of our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, members, and the thousands served annually by the museum, we extend our sincere thanks and gratitude for your continued support. Thank you for believing in the mission of NAAM and making it your own.

  • Annual Report for the Year 2003–2004
    2003–2004 ANNUAL REPORT SAM Students with Sanislo Feast SAM CONNECTS ART TO LIFE CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ARTIST LI JIN’S A FEAST made a permanent impression on the fourth- and fifth-grade students at Sanislo Elementary School. Inspired by the fifty-nine- foot-long painting depicting food from a traditional Chinese dinner on a background of recipes written in Chinese calligraphy, the students set out to re-create their own version. Art teachers Ruth Winter and Carolyn Autenrieth designed the project to celebrate the diversity of cultures at their school. Students painted their favorite ethnic foods, and staff helped transcribe the recipes into the students’ original languages. On display at the Seattle Asian Art Museum last spring, the students’ work, Sanislo Feast, a fifty-foot-long art scroll portraying food and languages from seventeen different nations and cultures, reflected the heritage of Sanislo students and staff. Students, families and teachers commemorated the unveiling of their “masterpiece” with a special celebration at SAAM. cover: Li Jin, China, born 1958, A Feast, 2001, ink on Xuan paper, 39 3/8 x 708 5/8 in., Courtesy of the artist and CourtYard Gallery, Beijing right: Wolfgang Groschedel and Kunz Lochner, Equestrian armor for Philip II, ca. 1554, etched steel and gold, Patrimonio Nacional, Real Armería, Madrid SEATTLE ART MUSEUM TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Director’s Letter 17 Betty Bowen Award 2 Board of Trustees 18 Reaching Out to Youth & Families 3 Broadening, Deepening, Diversifying 19 Teaching and Learning 4–5 One Museum, Three

  • Seattle Art Museum Curator Chiyo Ishikawa to Retire After 30 Years
    PRESS Press Contact Rachel Eggers Associate Director of Public Relations [email protected] RELEASE 206.654.3151 FEBRUARY 26, 2020 SEATTLE ART MUSEUM CURATOR CHIYO ISHIKAWA TO RETIRE AFTER 30 YEARS SEATTLE, WA – The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) announced that Dr. Chiyo Ishikawa, Susan Brotman Deputy Director for Art and Curator of European Painting and Sculpture, will retire in summer 2020, after 30 years at the museum. The museum’s search for a replacement will begin immediately. “It has been my honor and pleasure to work for an institution that so fully embraces its civic responsibility to serve our community,” says Ishikawa. “After 30 years, it seems a good time to turn this wonderful opportunity over to someone new.” “Our doors will always be open to Chiyo,” says Amada Cruz, SAM’s Illsley Ball Nordstrom Director and CEO. “My hope is that she will become bored in retirement and will want to organize special exhibitions for us from time to time. Her impact on SAM and on Seattle is beyond measure.” “It’s rare for someone to have such an illustrious career at one institution,” says Kimerly Rorschach, SAM’s recently retired director and CEO (2012–2019). “Thoughtful, kind, and wise, Chiyo is a champion of the museum’s values and a leader among the staff. She was a trusted advisor to me. During my tenure, she was particularly instrumental in SAM’s work on equity and inclusion, participating in the City of Seattle’s Race and Social Justice Initiative and in the development of SAM’s internal Equity Team.

INTRODUCTION The frustrated Seattle Art Museum (SAM) returned a two million dollar Henri Matisse painting that it had held in public trust for nearly a decade, yet emotions were bittersweet because SAM knew it was doing the right thing.1 Donors had purchased the valuable painting in 1954 from a reputable New York art gallery, Knoedler & Co., and it had remained in the state of Washington since then. "The Seattle Art Museum received Odalisque in 1991. With the conclusion of [exten- sive] research, evidence indicated that Odalisque was one of the paintings that the Nazis stole from Paul Rosenberg, a prominent Jew- ish art dealer in Paris at the time, and that it was never returned to 2 him." Much to the shock of Seattle citizens, the Seattle Art Museum has displayed Nazi war booty for nearly a decade. The horrors of the Nazi period are well known.
