  • Carnegie Institute: History, Architecture, Collections
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY The Carnegie Institute: History, Architecture, Collections Library Guide Series, No. 40 “Qui scit ubi scientia sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* An Introduction Andrew Carnegie, the founder of The Carnegie Institute, was an American industrialist who worked in the fields of the railroad, oil and became a baron of the iron and steel industries. During his lifetime he donated more than $350 million to a variety of social, educational and cultural causes, the best known of which was his support of the free public library movement. He gave grants for 3,000 library buildings in the English- speaking world between the late 1890s and 1917. The first Carnegie Library opened in 1889 and was built in Braddock, PA near the location of his largest steel mill. The second library opened in Allegheny City during 1890. Carnegie’s most ambitious cultural creation, however, was the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh which included a library, natural history museum, art gallery, and concert hall that were designed by Alden and Harlow between 1891-1907. Few people outside of Pittsburgh know that Andrew Carnegie was also involved in the art world of his day, creating the Art Gallery portion of the Carnegie Institute that is now known as the Carnegie Museum of Art and also beginning what has become one of the oldest international art exhibitions in the world – the Carnegie International in 1896. A little more than a century later the Carnegie Museum of Art had grown to include The Andy Warhol Museum of Art and the Heinz Architectural Center.

  • Gagosian Gallery
    Artforum January, 2000 GAGOSIAN 1999 Carnegie International Carnegie Museum of Art Katy Siegel When you walk into the lobby of the Carnegie Museum, the program of this year’s International announces itself in microcosm. There in front of you is atmospheric video projection (Diana Thater), a deadpan disquisition on the nature of representation (Gregor Schneider’s replication of his home), a labor-intensive, intricate installation (Suchan Kinoshita), a bluntly phenomenological sculpture (Olafur Eliasson), and flat, icy painting (Alex Katz). Undoubtedly the best part of the show, the lobby is also an archi-tectural site of hesitation, a threshold. Here the installation encapsulates the exhi-bition’s sense of historical suspen-sion, another kind of hesitation. Ours is a time not of endings but of pause. My favorite work, viewed through the museum’s huge glass wall, was the Eliasson, a fountain of steam wafting vertically from an expanse of water on a platform through which trees also rise up. It’s a heart-throbbing romantic landscape. Romantic, but not naive: The work plays on the tradition of the courtyard fountain, and the steam is piped from the museum’s heating system. Combining the natural and the industrial in a way peculiarly appro-priate to Pittsburgh on a quiet Sunday morning in early autumn, it echoed two billows of steam (or, more queasily, smoke?) off in the distance. When blunt physical fact achieves this kind of lyricism, it is something to see. Upstairs in the galleries, Ernesto Neto’s Nude Plasmic, 1999, relies as well on the phenomenology of simple form, but the Brazilian artist avoids Eliasson’s picturesque imagery.

  • Work in Progress
    Vicky A. Clark Throughout the often daunting Lask of trying to comprehend the hundred-year history of the Carnegie International as a well-integrated narrative, I kept recalling Christian Boltanski's work, La riserve du Carnegie International 1896-1991 (The archive of the Canugrt lntrrna1ional•896-•991 ), from the 1991 International exhibition. For several rea.o;ons, his installation, located in a dark basement space and shaped like a corridor,' became a metaphor for this challengi11g historical enterprise. Boltanski preceded the authors of this volume in mining Lhe exhibition's history. H is investigations produced a work in the form of thoLisands of cardboard boxes arranged along functional shelving. Each box was labeled with the name of an artist who had exhibited in the International, along with the year or years in which he (or, far less ofi:en, she) had done so; each box was empty, as if waiting to be filled with documents and artifacts related m the artist. Curious viewers, looking for recognizable names, were overwhelmed by the sheer number of boxes. Bolranski himself, in a challenge to those involved in the art world, s:tid that a true curator should recognize at least four hundred names- a mere ren percent of those displayed and also listed in the artist's book that accompanied the installation. Boltanski's work humbled every audience. Boltanski's installation w::ts :1 postmodern critique of the way in whi.ch we construct history, an illustration of the fact that accumulating knowledge- let alone und.erstandi11g Lt-is nor simple, straightforward, or objective.

    San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Regional Oral History Office 75th Anniversary The Bancroft Library Oral History Project University of California, Berkeley SFMOMA 75th Anniversary MADELEINE GRYNSZTEJN SFMOMA Staff, 2000-2008 Elise S. Haas Senior Curator of Painting and Sculpture Interview conducted by Lisa Rubens and Richard Cándida Smith in 2008 Copyright © 2009 by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Funding for the Oral History Project provided in part by Koret Foundation. ii Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Madeleine Grynsztejn, dated July 6, 2009. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
