  • Summer Art Acquisitions
    COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Boulevard I Richmond, Virginia 23220-4007 www.vmfa.museum/pressroom I T 804.204.2704 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 15, 2013 Summer Art Acquisitions The following artworks were approved by the VMFA Board of Trustees in June 2013. VMFA is a state agency and a public/private partnership. All works of art are purchased with private funds from dedicated endowments. After VMFA’s board approves proposed acquisitions on a quarterly basis, the art becomes the property of the Commonwealth of Virginia to protect, preserve, and interpret. 1. Head of a Herm, Augustan (late 1st c. BCE—early 1st century CE), marble, 19¾‖ (w/o base); 26¾‖ (w/base). Arthur and Margaret Glasgow Endowment. This beautifully carved image of a bearded god is VMFA’s first major acquisition of ancient art in recent years and a significant addition to the museum’s holdings of Greek and Roman sculpture. As a late Hellenistic or Roman creation based on an original from the mid-fifth century BCE, this sculpture reflects the esteem later generations of artists held for the art of classical Athens. The head came from a herm, a type of sculpture that consists of a head surmounting a tall pillar with projecting posts evoking arms and an erect phallus. Early herms had a sacred character and served as distance and boundary markers with the power to ward away evil. Later herms had different type of heads, including female heads and even portraits. The form of the herm has remained part of the visual vocabulary of Western art with a wide variety of adaptations.

  • LGBTQ+ Artists Represented Int the Performing Arts Special Collections
    LGBTQ+ Artists Represented in the Performing Arts Special Collections in the Library of Congress Music Division Aaron Copland with Samuel Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti, 1945 (Aaron Copland Collection, Box 479 Folder 3) Compiled by Emily Baumgart Archives Processing Technician January 2021 Introduction The artistic community has always had many LGBTQ+ members, including musicians, dancers, choreographers, writers, directors, designers, and other creators. The Music Division holds a wealth of information about these LGBTQ+ artists in its performing arts special collections, which contain musical scores, correspondence, scripts, photographs and other documents of their lives and careers. This survey brings together some of the highlights from these holdings, providing an opportunity to learn more about LGBTQ+ creators and to recognize and celebrate their artistic achievements. The sexual and gender identity of many historical figures has been obscured over time; moreover, it can be difficult to determine how such individuals would identify by today’s terminology, especially when little of their personal life is known. Other figures, however, have disclosed their identity through their private correspondence or other writings. We do not wish to ascribe to any person an identity that they may have disagreed with, but at the same time we recognize that many of the queer community’s accomplishments have been hidden through oppression, prejudice, and forced closeting. By increasing awareness of LGBTQ+ identity in the Music Division’s special collections, we can make relevant primary source materials more readily accessible for students, educators, and scholars to study these creators and their contributions. This survey does not claim to be comprehensive, neither in terms of identifying every LGBTQ+ artist within the Music Division’s special collections nor in terms of identifying every collection in which those artists are represented.

The Gallery intends to continue with other volumes devoted to contemporary American painting, sculpture, drawings, watercolors and prints. In recent years the growing interest in and concern for American paint• ing has become apparent.
