    Cooper Square Committee Chrono

    Cooper Square Committee Chrono A listing of Cooper Square events and activities - including victories and defeats - from March 1959 through March 2005. Prepared by: Walter Thabit, March, 2005 Planners Network Cooper Square Committee Municipal Art Society 61 East 4thStreet Planning Center New York, NY 10003 212 228-8210 COOPER SQUARE CHRONOLOGY The Cooper Square Chronology was initiated by Thelma Burdick in March, 1959, and recorded significant events up to March, 1968. For years, it was the bible of the organization, allowing us to keep the important dates straight. Unfortunately, it has never been updated till now, and it might still be waiting to happen if there hadn't been a renewed interest in the Cooper Square story. Writers and advocate planners have interviewed old timers like myself and Frances Goldin, and after hearing of an interesting incident, then ask, "And what year was that?" Too often I didn't have a clue. So I finally decided to bring the chronology up-to-date. It has been hard work, but worth every minute. I'm not the only contributor to a chronology of events. Marci Reaven, doing a PhD. dissertation on Cooper Square has also put one together for her personal use, and I have used it to fill out some uncertain items as well as a few whose significance I missed. Also, Valerio Orselli, Cooper Square's Director for over 20 years prepared a specialized chronology of 40 membership meetings held around the issue of the rehabilitation program, the Mutual Housing Association, and the revised Cooper Square Plan. It is included here, starting in November, 1984, running through April, 1993.

    Eighteen Major New York Area Museums Participate in Instagram Swap

    EIGHTEEN MAJOR NEW YORK AREA MUSEUMS PARTICIPATE IN INSTAGRAM SWAP THE FRICK COLLECTION PAIRS WITH NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, eighteen major New York City area institutions have joined forces to celebrate their unique collections and spaces on Instagram. All day today, February 2, the museums will post photos from this exciting project. Each participating museum paired with a sister institution, then set out to take photographs at that institution, capturing objects and moments that resonated with their own collections, exhibitions, and themes. As anticipated, each organization’s unique focus offers a new perspective on their partner museum. Throughout the day, the Frick will showcase its recent visit to the New-York Historical Society on its Instagram feed using the hashtag #MuseumInstaSwap. Posts will emphasize the connections between the two museums and libraries, both cultural landmarks in New York and both beloved for highlighting the city’s rich history. The public is encouraged to follow and interact to discover what each museum’s Instagram staffer discovered in the other’s space. A complete list of participating museums follows: American Museum of Natural History @AMNH The Museum of Modern Art @themuseumofmodernart Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum @intrepidmuseum Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum @cooperhewitt Museum of the City of New York @MuseumofCityNY New Museum @newmuseum 1 The Museum of Arts and Design @madmuseum Whitney Museum of American Art @whitneymuseum The Frick Collection

ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL 2013–2014 Cover: GIUSEPPE PENONE Italian, born 1947 Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012 Bronze with gold leaf 433 1/16 x 96 3/4 x 79 in. (1100 x 245.7 x 200.7 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund 2014.728 While arboreal imagery has dominated Giuseppe Penone’s sculptures across his career, monumental bronzes of storm- blasted trees have only recently appeared as major themes in his work. Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument. ALG Opposite: LYONEL FEININGER American, 1871–1956 Self-Portrait, 1915 Oil on canvas 39 1/2 x 31 1/2 in. (100.3 x 80 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund 2014.756 Lyonel Feininger’s 1915 self-portrait unites the psychological urgency of German Expressionism with the formal structures of Cubism to reveal the artist’s profound isolation as a man in self-imposed exile, an American of German descent, who found himself an alien enemy living in Germany at the outbreak of World War I.

    GREAT HANGER STEAK AND GREAT HANGERS TOO THE CORNELL CLUB, NYC by Lew Toulmin SUMMARY We stayed at the Cornell Club of New York for four nights in early August 2010. The Club is about 200 yards west of Grand Central Station in a very good location. The public rooms are relatively modest but the bedrooms are excellent and more reasonably priced than most NYC reciprocal clubs. Rates for a twin room were $220 per night in the low summer season (a negotiated rate), including breakfast, rising to $302 in the fall. CLUB HISTORY AND FACILITIES The Club was founded in 1889 and rented rooms at the Royalton Hotel for a time. Subsequently the Club moved five times around Manhattan, arriving at the current location in 1985. A three year renovation of the existing building was required. The Club is in a 14 storey building at 6 East 44th Street, about a short block west of Grand Central Station, between Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue. (Unfortunately, this station does not offer train service to and from Washington, DC. The Station is a landmark in itself, with a fruit, veg and meat market, restaurants, shops, great architecture, regular tours and access to the subway.) The Club library is very modest, consisting of a couple of walls of books. There are five function rooms, with square footage totaling 3500 square feet. These rooms are all right but not gorgeous, and in fact the bedrooms are definitely nicer than the public rooms, the reverse of the usual club situation. Other Club facilities include a moderate sized gym, about 50 x 50 feet with free weights, stationery bicycles, exercise balls and treadmills.
