Dear Members & Friends,

It is with particular pleasure that I convey highlights of our Winter/Spring 2014 New-York Historical Society season. Four new exhibitions will open in our galleries this spring, along with a raft of fascinating and provocative programs ranging from our newest named program, the “Petraeus | Hertog Lecture on Leadership;” to our own trustee Lewis E. Lehrman’s lecture on his splendid book Lincoln “by littles”; to a new Harold and Ruth Newman program on LBJ and Civil Rights by Robert A. Caro; to a discussion by Jonathan Alter, Jodi Kantor, and Kati Marton on President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; to remarks by Randall Kennedy on Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, for whom he served as Clerk; to famed architectural historian Barry Lewis’s “Around the World” explorations of Harlem, Central Park, London, Paris, and Jerusalem.

In our Smith South galleries, a new exhibition of two dozen quilts and more than 125 textiles and related objects once again will demonstrate New-York Historical’s signature initiative to frame history with art, telling the story of Homefront and Battlefield through Civil War-era fabrics, including abolitionists’ slogans on silk handkerchiefs, plantation owners’ deals with Rhode Island mills for rough wool to clothe slaves, and French exports of shirts patterned with crisscrossing Confederate flags. This March, our Civil Rights Gallery will feature the story of the “Black Fives,” the all-Black basketball teams that thrived in the United States between 1904 and 1950, when the National Basketball Association became racially integrated. Bill Cunningham: Facades, a new exhibition of photographs taken by the New York Times photographer in the 1960’s and 70’s, shows beauty in our city, even as it sputters and stalls. And who can resist our spectacular Audubon’s Aviary, featuring John James Audubon’s magnificent watercolors for his epic “Birds of America,” owned uniquely by our institution?

The spectacular generosity of Bernard and Irene Schwartz brings us a new round of the Classic Film Series named in their honor, with films such asStrangers on a Train, The Verdict, and 12 Angry Men, and speakers that include our own great trustee Ric Burns as well as constitutional historians Philip C. Bobbitt and Akhil Reed Amar. We appreciate the wonderful support of Bank of America, which makes it possible for us to offer our Friday night concert series to visitors free of charge.
