  • 2003 Annual Report of the Walters Art Museum
    THE YEAR IN REVIEWTHE WALTERS ART MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT 2003 France, France, Ms.M.638, folio 23 verso, 1244–1254, The Pierpont Morgan Library, New York Dear Friends: After more than three intense years renovating and reinstalling our Centre Street Building, which con- cluded in June 2002 with the opening of our transformed 19th-century galleries, we stepped back in fiscal year 2002–2003 to refocus attention on our Charles Street Building, with its Renaissance, baroque, and rococo collections, in preparation for its complete reinstallation for a fall 2005 opening. For the Walters, as for cultural institutions nationwide, this was more generally a time of reflection and retrenchment in the wake of lingering uncertainty after the terrorist attack of 9/11, the general economic downturn, and significant loss of public funds. Nevertheless, thanks to Mellon Foundation funding, we were able to make three new mid-level curatorial hires, in the departments of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance and baroque art. Those three endowed positions will have lasting impact on the museum, as will a major addition to our galleries: in September 2002, we opened a comprehensive display of the arts of the ancient Americas, thanks to a long-term loan from the Austen-Stokes Foundation. Now, for the first time, we are able to expand on a collecting area Henry Walters entered nearly a century ago, to match our renowned ancient and medieval holdings in quality and range with more than four millennia of works from the western hemisphere. The 2002–2003 season was marked by three major exhibitions organized by the Walters, and by the continued international tour of a fourth Walters show, Desire and Devotion.

  • Bma's Imagining Home Exhibition Explores
    MEDIA CONTACTS: Anne Brown Sarah Pedroni Jessica Novak 443-573-1870 BMA’S IMAGINING HOME EXHIBITION EXPLORES DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF HOME THROUGH ART FROM AROUND THE WORLD Visitor participation encouraged through interactive experiences woven into the exhibition BALTIMORE, MD (UPDATED September 25, 2015)—The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) presents an innovative thematic exhibition, Imagining Home, in conjunction with the opening of the Center for People & Art, a new education area of the museum. On view October 25, 2015 through August 1, 2018, this extraordinary exhibition presents more than 30 artworks from across the collection in a lively space that incorporates video, audio, and other experiences that encourage visitor participation. More than a third of the objects in the exhibition are light sensitive and will change every six months so there will always be something new to experience. The artworks in Imagining Home represent different ideas and aspects of the places in which we live—whether decorative or functional, real or ideal, celebratory or critical. Visitors can explore objects from many times and places as nearly every area of the BMA’s collection is included: paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, textiles, prints, and photographs, along with works from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, as well as four of the museum’s popular miniature rooms. Each object reveals something about the cultural values of its makers and users. Visitors have three thematic areas to explore in the exhibition: • Façades & Thresholds: Visitors will enter the exhibition through a designed threshold to see objects that reflect how we mediate public and private spaces such as Emile-Antoine Bourdelle’s sinister bronze Medusa Door Knocker (1925), Walter Henry Williams’ painting A Quick Nap (1952), and a colorful early 20th- century Suzani prayer rug from Central Asia.

  • Christmas Stamp Features Walters Art Museum Treasure by Raphael
    Christmas stamp features Walters Art Museum treasure by Raphael By George P. Matysek Jr. [email protected] A Raphael masterpiece that hangs in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore is getting national attention this holiday season as the U.S. Postal Service features the “Madonna of the Candelabra” as one of its 2011 Christmas stamps. The circular oil painting, created by the famed Renaissance artist circa 1513, shows a serene Blessed Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus. It was purchased by Henry Walters from a Vatican official in 1900, becoming the first Raphael Madonna to enter the United States. Joaneath Spicer, curator of Renaissance and Baroque art at the Walters, said the painting is especially notable for the way it combines an idealized image of Mary with a very human Jesus. Standing in front of the masterwork, Spicer pointed out that the child Jesus places a hand on his mother’s chest and exhibits a bit of mischief on his face. “You have the Christ child saying, ‘You know, it’s almost lunch time,’ “ Spicer said with a laugh. “You have that little bit of humor in there to emphasize Christ’s humanity. This is a real kid. He’s a baby and he needed to eat to grow just as a human baby does.” Mary’s gesture also touches on humanity, Spicer said, as she lovingly rests her hand on her child’s torso. “It’s wonderful the sense of touch that’s brought out,” she said. “The little Christ child is being comforted.” Contemporaries of Raphael such as Leonardo and Michelangelo tended to be more cerebral in their paintings, Spicer said.

  • In Response to the Letter from Former Trustees, the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) Has Released the Following Statement
    In response to the letter from former trustees, The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) has released the following statement: We are confident that there are no legal issues relating to the BMA’s deaccession of works by Brice Marden, Clyfford Still, and Andy Warhol, or to the intended use of the proceeds of the sale. We have reached out to Secretary of State John C. Wobensmith and Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh to provide them with information regarding our actions, and we look forward to working with them to answer any questions that they may have, and to sharing any necessary documents or additional details. Deaccessioning artworks from a museum’s collection is a standard practice, and these decisions are guided by curatorial vision and then ultimately validated by a museum’s Board of Trustees. That is the process that the BMA followed. The selection of works was determined through a rigorous collection review process led by the museum’s senior curators, who proposed the artworks for deaccession, in accordance with AAMD’s criteria. The selection was then reviewed and approved by the museum’s leadership team, accessions committee, executive committee, and full board. Furthermore, the history of deaccessions at the BMA is such that Andy Warhol’s The Last Supper was itself purchased through funds made possible by the deaccessioning of a painting by the Abstract Expressionist master Mark Rothko. That history, from a Rothko to a Warhol, demonstrates that collections management—which includes both accessioning and deaccessioning—is a critical aspect of curatorial practice and is not one that is purely additive.
