21 FLEMISH Chasuble with Scenes from the Lives of Christ and the Virgin, c. 1510 Silk, velvet, - and -wrapped thread, and linen 88 1/2 x 28 3/4 in. (224.8 x 73 cm) Museum purchase funded by Meredith J. Long in honor of Gary Tinterow at “One Great Night in November, 2018” 2018.365

Liturgical vestments like this luxurious chasuble were used as the visual manifes- tation of the glory of God and the Catholic Church during the Renaissance. The central panel features an Annunciation scene, the most popular fi gural subject for the form. The elaborate is known as or nué (shaded gold), a labor-intensive and costly technique in which gold-wrapped threads were laid in rows across the background of the composition before being “shaded” with colored sewn over the top. The embellish a rich Italian double-pile velvet woven with gold threads. As illustrated in this example, Renaissance liturgical vestments are considered the artistic height of such production. CG

22 ITALIAN During the Renaissance, wealthy patrons Embroidered Linen with Grotesques, commissioned luxurious textiles to c. 1550–1600 decorate their interiors. Embroiderers Silk embroidery and metal-wrapped in took a leading role in the thread on linen production of this work for a refi ned and 63 3/8 x 38 3/16 in. (161 x 97 cm) demanding clientele, including the most Museum purchase funded by prestigious cathedrals and noble house- Cecily E. Horton holds of the time. The decoration on this 2018.366 exceptionally rare cloth is in vibrant colors executed by silk-shading, or “painting with a needle,” which skillfully blends different colored silks to vivid effect. The swirling foliate patterns on the embroidery feature a female fi gure, identifi ed by her , multiple breasts, and as Diana of Ephesus, the goddess of the hunt, wild animals, fertility, and childbirth.

23 JAPANESE Samurai Horse Mask (Bamen), 17th century Lacquered papier-mâché 18 3/8 x 11 1/4 x 8 5/8 in. (46.7 x 28.6 x 21.9 cm) Museum purchase funded by Jack S. Blanton, Jr., and Marty E. Goossen in honor of Leslie Blanton and Kathy Goossen at “One Great Night in November, 2018”; Dr. David Y. Graham; and the Japan Business Association Fund 2018.367

Masks of this kind fi rst appeared during the late sixteenth century and were mainly used in military parades. This Bamen is one of the earliest surviving examples known, and its iconography relates to depictions of dragons that were common during that period. The profusion of gold is typical of the taste of the Momoyama period (1572–1615), and the absence of large lacquered parts and decorative features gives this Bamen a strength that is not seen on later examples.

24 CHINESE Protector Goddess Kong Tsan Demo Dorje, c. 1661–1772 Gilt-lacquered wood 29 3/4 x 22 1/2 x 10 3/4 in. (75.6 x 57.2 x 27.3 cm) Museum purchase funded by Anne and Albert Chao; and Nidhika and Pershant Mehta 2019.175

Veneration of the Tanma Chuyi, the Twelve Protector Goddesses of Tibet, predates the eighth-century arrival of Buddhism in the Himalayas. As Buddhism spread from India, across Asia, and into the Himalayas, the religion absorbed various indigenous beliefs and practices, incorporating them into an increasingly complex and detailed hierarchical system of worship. As a result, this piece, though made in a Chinese Qing-dynasty workshop, references the Hindu Goddess Durga, Buddhism’s Avalokiteshvara (the Bodhisattva of Eternal Compassion), and the tantric goddesses of Bön, Tibet’s native shamanistic religion. This sculpture is a remarkable discovery that refl ects the interconnectedness of Asian religions. BB

25 JACQUES RIGAUD, French, 1681–1754 The Rotunda at Stowe, 1733 Pen and ink with gray wash on two sheets of laid paper 11 x 18 7/8 in. (27.9 x 48 cm) The Stuart Collection, museum purchase funded by Francita Stuart Koelsch Ulmer in honor of the Garden Club of Houston 2018.395

Jacques Rigaud, the famed French drafts- man and print seller known for his views of Parisian gardens and châteaux, traveled to London in February 1733 at the invitation of the Royal Gardener, Charles Bridgeman. The artist produced views of the royal parks and residences and worked for a number of aristocratic and noble patrons. Rigaud’s impressive and richly drawn view is of Britain’s greatest landscape garden of Stowe, populated with fashionable visitors. It commemorates Bridgeman’s work in the garden, initially created by Richard Temple. The heart of the drawing is the rotunda with Doric columns and the statue of Queen Caroline. DMW

JOHN MARTIN, British, 1789–1854 Adonis and Aphrodite, c. 1819 Watercolor over graphite on wove paper 8 x 10 1/2 in. (20.3 x 26.7 cm) The Stuart Collection, museum purchase funded by Francita Stuart Koelsch Ulmer 2018.235

John Martin, arguably England’s leading Romantic landscape artist of the nine- teenth century, was inspired by a tale from Ovid’s Metamorphoses for this elaborate sepia watercolor. The drawing illustrates the demise of Adonis, Aphrodite’s mortal lover, who was wounded by a wild boar while out hunting and bled to death in the arms of the weeping goddess. The image, featuring densely crafted woodland scenery that dwarfs the classical fi gures, is emblematic of Martin’s use of mono- chrome watercolor washes for the creation of romantic landscapes. The melodrama and extravagance of Martin’s landscapes pair exceedingly well with the technical freedom of watercolor. DMW

26 JAN VAN HUYSUM, Dutch, 1682–1749 Study of a Vase of Flowers, early to mid-1700s Black chalk and brush and ink with gray wash on laid paper 15 3/8 x 12 in. (39.1 x 30.5 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Museum Collectors and Michael W. Dale 2019.17

The Dutch artist and biographer Arnold Houbraken described his contemporary Jan van Huysum as the “phoenix of all fl ower painters.” Van Huysum’s insistence on working from life resulted in his fl ower pictures being keenly sought after through- out Europe. This energetic and virtuoso display with a sophisticated handling of the media demonstrates how the artist was able to create a sense of dynamism in what is seemingly a motionless subject. Van Huysum did not intended this drawing to be sold from his studio; rather, he included it in a loose-leaf book from which prospective clients could select a composition that he would subsequently paint in oil.

28 AGOSTINO GERLI, Italian, active 1759–84 This remarkable Neoclassical cabinet GIOVANNI BATTISTA MARONI, was decorated by Agostino Gerli and Italian, 1750–1816 likely made by the cabinetmaker Giovanni Cabinet, c. 1785 Battista Maroni. Created in Milan about Kingwood, ebony, wax, pine gilt, and 1785, for an unknown patron, it features Sicillian an unusual ornamental scheme produced 38 1/8 x 44 1/2 x 22 3/4 in. a encausto, or using colored hot wax.

With its revival of an ancient technique as well as its reliance on classical ornament, the cabinet vividly shows the eighteenth-century interest in antique models and sources. CG

29 CHINESE This punch bowl features remarkable Punch Bowl, c. 1815 images celebrating Philadelphia’s Hard-paste porcelain with enamel architectural and engineering triumphs, and gilding represented by Benjamin Henry Latrobe’s 5 1/2 x 13 3/8 in. diameter (14 x 34 cm) Center Square Water Works, as well as national pride in the victories of the young The Bayou Bend Collection, museum purchase funded by “One Great Night United States Navy in the . in November, 2018” Latrobe, regarded as the father of American B.2018.62 architecture, designed the waterworks in 1799 as a combination of strongly contrasting volumes rendered in a classical idiom. The naval battles depicted on the bowl are taken from after works by Thomas Birch that were published in The Port Folio, a Philadelphia periodical. BCB

30 Probably NEW ENGLAND GLASS COMPANY, East Cambridge, , active 1818–88 Possibly AND SANDWICH GLASS CO., Sandwich, Massachusetts, active 1826–88 Possibly PHOENIX GLASS WORKS, Boston, active 1820–72 Two-Handled Urn, c. 1830–40 Lead glass and silver 7 3/4 x 7 1/2 x 4 1/8 in. (19.7 x 19.1 x 10.5 cm) The Bayou Bend Collection, museum purchase funded by the Jack R. McGregor Endowment Fund B.2019.2

Exemplifying the best of American blown glass of its time, this urn was probably produced by the New England Glass Company near Boston. Made of brilliant lead glass, it is remarkable for its range of decorative effects and for the success of its overall design. Its form is derived from the krater of classical antiquity, refl ecting the then-current for ancient Greek prototypes. Enclosed within a void in the stem is a United States silver half-dime coin dated 1830. Urns such as this one were not part of a factory’s regular production and were likely intended as special presentation objects. BCB

31 FRANÇOIS RUDE, French, 1784–1855 La Marseillaise, c. 1834–35 Bronzed plaster 18 7/8 x 14 1/2 x 11 in. (48 x 36.8 x 27.9 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Director’s Accessions Endowment 2019.176

François Rude was awarded one of the commissions to create a large relief to adorn the Arc de Triomphe, France’s renowned monument conceived to commemorate the Napoleonic victories. His submission, The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792, is the most celebrated among the decorations of the arch and is considered the foundation of Rude’s lasting fame. In preparing the relief, Rude made a series of studies of heads and fi gures, including this model in bronzed plaster. The bust is titled La Marseillaise after the French national anthem, as the expressive fi gure seems to shout its famous line, “Aux armes, citoyens!” HKA

32 ALBERT-ERNEST CARRIER-BELLEUSE, French, 1824–1887 AUGUSTE RODIN, French, 1840–1917 The Vase of the Titans, 1899 Glazed polychromed terracotta 27 1/4 x 19 1/2 in. diameter (69.2 x 49.5 cm) Museum purchase funded by Fayez Sarofi m in honor of his wife, Susan, and children, Christopher, Allison, Andrew, and Phillip, at “One Great Night in November, 2018” 2018.285

This monumental and beautifully glazed sculptural ceramic is the result of the collaboration between two major fi gures in French nineteenth-century art, the sculptor and ceramicist Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse and his famous student, Auguste Rodin. Although the composi- tion of the vase derives from an earlier Carrier-Belleuse design, Rodin gave the supporting fi gures the spatial complexity and expressive force for which his sculp- ture would become known. The fi gures appear to strain under a heavy burden. A superlative example of the convergence of fi ne and decorative art, this vase is one of only fi ve versions known to survive intact. CG

Over the course of three decades, fi rst in Newport, , and later in , , Levi and Catharine Coffi n sheltered and helped ferry to freedom an estimated 3,300 escaped slaves. Dubbed “President of the Underground Railroad” by frustrated slave hunters, Coffi n (back center) found his Quaker beliefs incompatible with the idea of and devoted his life to the cause of abolition and to the education of the emancipated. This exceedingly rare photograph, in which the fi gures’ expres- sions and body language carry a powerful egalitarian message and emotional charge, is the work of James Presley Ball, one of the most prominent nineteenth-century African American photographers.

Born into a family of artists, Lydia Field Emmet trained with the American Impressionist William Merritt Chase at the Art Students League of New York and later taught at his Shinnecock Summer School of Art. In her paintings, Emmet often depicted children, and she paid particular attention to the reality of childhood and its fl eeting moments. In this work, Emmet presents a young girl, possibly fresh from play, with fl ushed cheeks and slouching socks. KHW

In this portrait, William Merritt Chase presents the sitter, Katherine Van Liew Howell, as a modern woman, gazing outward from a relaxed, seated position. The artist used this intimate composition to explore texture and color. Against a bold red wall, Chase plays with gold brocade, burgundy velvet, white roses, and blond fur to create a swirl of color anchored by Howell’s face and upswept brown hair. KHW

42 POUL HENNINGSEN, Danish, 1894–1967 Manufactured by Louis Poulsen & Co., Danish, established 1874 Piano Lamp PH 2/2, 1931 Patinated and glass 12 x 19 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. (30.5 x 49.5 x 21.6 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Mary Kathryn Lynch Kurtz Charitable Lead Trust Fund; the American Institute of Architects Design Collection Fund; the Decorative Arts Endowment Fund; and the GRITS Foundation 2018.441

In the early 1920s, the Danish designer Poul Henningsen developed scientifi c studies and theories concerning the quality of light and a lampshade’s function that would greatly infl uence his designs. His shade system— each lamp was available in up to fi ve sizes with proportionally sized top, middle, and bottom shades—was revolutionary for the period. Henningsen’s Piano Lamp, with its original glass shades, features a counter- weight system whose curvaceous design creates a connection to the Art Nouveau style. Only a small number of these lamps were ever made as production ceased in 1937. CS

STUDIO65, Italian, established 1965 “Chiocciola” Chair, designed 1972, made 1973 Polyurethane foam and upholstery 24 x 37 x 27 1/4 in. (61 x 94 x 69.2 cm) Gift of Dennis Freedman, The Dennis Freedman Collection 2018.500

Designed by Franco Audrito of Studio65 in 1972 for the interior of Skin Up, a Turin shop selling gifts and leather items, the “Chiocciola” Chair takes the form of a stylized acanthus leaf, although its name comes from its snail- like curl. The historical allusion was intended to be mocking, conveying exasperation with the continued usage of such forms in archi- tectural practice. It also demonstrates the group’s use of strategies to isolate, monumentalize, or alter the proportions of everyday items for artistic effect. CS

43 FORREST BESS, American, 1911–1977 Sign of Man, 1949 Oil on canvas 5 3/4 x 7 1/8 in. (14.6 x 18.1 cm) Untitled (no. 28), 1950 Oil on linen 10 5/8 x 13 in. (27 x 33 cm) Museum purchases funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund 2019.26; 2019.27

Working in a fi shing camp on the Texas coast, Forrest Bess created intimately scaled paintings that refl ected his visionary response to the American landscape. Sign of Man is among Bess’s most compact and vivid compositions. According to the artist’s notes, the white orb represents the masculine principle of the sun, and the vertical lines the passage of time. However, it is also possible to recognize the he drew from the open vistas of his Chinquapin Bay home, the sun rising over the Gulf of , and the solitude that was at the core of the art- ist’s life and experience. Untitled, painted a year later, refl ects Bess’s fascination with mysticism and esoteric texts, particularly those that addressed fertility and sexuality. The tree form was another symbol in the artist’s personal lexicon for masculinity, here shown as a powerful force of genera- tion and regeneration. ALG

Ólafur Elíasson gained international acclaim at the 2003 and through his large-scale installation The Weather Project at the Turbine Hall, . This drawing charts the progression of a single form over time as a series of ellipses in shifting, cool blue hues. Successive and overlapping layers of pigment fi ll elliptical voids, creating subtle variations in color to give the impression of the lens of a human eye or the various stages of a revolving disc in motion. Elíasson skillfully grounds abstract concepts of motion, time, and memory with human physiology and the basic experience of visual perception. DMW

Mark Tobey was among the twentieth century’s most transnational artists. He fused aspects of Western with East Asian calligraphy to formulate an idiosyncratic approach to abstraction. This monumental, vertical sumi-ink drawing is from an important period in his career and was selected for display in Tobey’s 1961 solo exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Pavillon de Marsan, , ) and at the 1962 Venice Biennale. This work on paper highlights two key characteristics of Tobey’s work: delicacy and spirituality. Its large scale is a notable rarity in the artist’s oeuvre of sumi-ink drawings. DMW

A leading exponent of Informalism, Elsa Gramcko worked exhaustively on series focused on formal or conceptual problems. She expanded the defi nition of “painting,” moving well beyond the canvas and into the territory of assemblage. Grieta subterránea exemplifi es the artist’s pioneering incorporation of machine parts and industrial trash into her work as part of a broader critique of humankind’s fl awed embrace of technology. Gramcko includes car battery cells as a structural element, juxtaposing their orderly, grid-like compartments with a formless, heavily textured surface suggestive of the type of corrosion that results from the passage of time.

In their honesty and intimacy, Diane Arbus’s photographs reveal what is extraordinary in the familiar, and familiar in the extraordinary. Straightforward in technique, highly personal in subject, and collaborative in approach, Arbus’s portraits had an immediate and enduring infl uence on photography. These eight photographs complete the Museum’s acquisition of the portfolio A Box of Ten Photographs, Arbus’s fi rst and only distillation of her mature work. Shortly after her death, the artist’s estate contracted her former student, the master printer Neil Selkirk, to complete the intended edition of fi fty; the Museum’s set is one of approximately twenty that remain intact.

William Wegman and his canine costar Man Ray brought humor to . Rather than serving as the voice of philosophical authority, Wegman acts as a comical pseudoscientist, testing the loose and malleable ties between language, visuals, and meaning. Here, the duo confi dently demonstrates the possibilities of a small set of shapes with linked positions: circle means before; triangle means on; and square means after. Permutations, a play on Variations (a common title for painted geometric abstractions), reduces both abstract mathematical vocabulary and to the level of a cute dog trick. LV

Unlike other artists of her generation who adopted the strategy of appropriation and reproduction to emphasize the banality and uniformity of newspaper, magazine, and television imagery, Sarah Charlesworth combed wire-service archives and the in 1979 and 1980 for a more highly charged subject: falling fi gures. Trimmed to remove all context and enlarged to human scale, each photograph was titled only with the name of the falling fi gure and location (if known), leaving the viewer to wonder whether it depicted a leap to safety, a suicide, or a Hollywood stunt, and to ponder more existential questions.

Kenji Nakahashi’s photographs challenge viewers’ understanding of the visible world, making everyday places and objects strange through playful, exacting repetition. The dark shapes cast against a navy-blue background in Nakahashi’s series A Cut Out Sky at fi rst appear to be abstract . In reality, however, they are four skyscrapers seen from the street below. Photographed against the predawn sky, the buildings are transformed into fl at, geometric segments cutting into a fi eld of blue. This work is one of nearly fi fty photographs, prints, and drawings by Nakahashi donated in 2018. MR

Helen Lundeberg was among the West Coast vanguard of midcentury Modernist painters who reconciled hard-edge abstraction with an appreciation of nature. As is typical of many of Lundeberg’s 1960s compositions, Green River takes its inspiration from the topography of , evoking a bird’s-eye view of the Los Angeles River, and its surrounding creeks and canals, as it fl ows through the hardscape of the city’s industrial port into the Pacifi c Ocean.

Dorothy Hood is celebrated for her early Surrealist compositions as well as for her later canvases. Gray Flora exemplifi es the keen sense of exuberant drama that she employed in her later paintings of the 1970s, as the brilliant red wash bisects the more nuanced gray areas. This departure in her work may have been in response to advice she received from the noted art critic , who wrote to her in 1977: “You might, just for fun, fool around some with the way you apply paint.” ALG

Enzo Cucchi grew up surrounded by the rich legacy of classical Italy, images of which haunt his paintings. Circostanza eroica (Heroic Situation) exemplifi es his particular concern with the juncture of the past and everyday experience. The two-part composition pairs a tall, narrow canvas with a zinc relief: the relief depicts an antique where water pours into an open basin, while the lower canvas displays an image of a comb amid waves of hair. Thus, for Cucchi, the common act of grooming one’s hair becomes part of a shared history and memory. ALG

In his Verso series, Vik Muniz re-creates the back or “verso” of famous paintings. For this particular work, he consulted with curators, conservators, and art handlers to produce an exact replica of the back of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Woman with Parrot (1871, Thannhauser Collection at the Solomon R.

Olga de Amaral was a key fi gure in the fi ber arts movement of the 1960s and 1970s. She has used techniques such as plaiting and wrapping to create woven that evoke the natural land- scape and architectural history of her native country, . This work, made in 1972, illustrates how fi ber artists were breaking with the two-dimensional tradition of the loom to explore the sculptural potential of off-loom construc- tion. At nearly nine feet tall, Columna en pasteles engages directly with the body. Its textured surface includes multiple weave structures interlocked with a mix of woven strips and wrapped cords. AW

59 AMERICAN Face Jug, Edgefi eld District, South Carolina, c. 1860–70 Alkaline-glazed stoneware with kaolin 8 1/2 x 6 1/4 x 6 3/4 in. (21.6 x 15.9 x 17.1 cm) The Bayou Bend Collection, museum purchase funded by the W. H. Keenan Family Endowment Fund B.2019.3

This arresting face jug was made in the Edgefi eld District of South Carolina, whose nineteenth-century pottery industry relied heavily on enslaved laborers. Its white kaolin eyes and teeth suggest African sculptural traditions, particularly the minkisi or power fi gures from the former Kingdom of Kongo in west-central Africa that sometimes incorporated pieces of shell or porcelain as eyes. These fi gures’ spiritual power protected or brought justice to community members. Recent scholarship strongly supports the theory that face jugs’ spiritual signifi cance was related to beliefs and traditions that enslaved people struggled to retain and that continued long after the era of slavery ended.

Glenn Ligon’s text-based paintings draw on the writings of Jean Genet, Zora Neale Hurston, , and , among others, to reframe black identity and American history. Untitled (How It Feels to Be Colored Me) is part of a series of paintings in which he stenciled words on prefabricated doors. Ligon used graphite and black oil stick to repeatedly stencil “How It Feels to Be Colored Me,” from a 1928 essay by Hurston. The buildup of black oil stick at the bottom of the panel gives the composition a sense of growing weight that matches the gravity of Hurston’s words. KF

Since 1969 Betye Saar has reappropriated racist memorabilia and demeaning depic- tions of black Americans in her artwork. Weight of Persistent Racism (Manufactured in the U.S.A.) is part of a series in which she vents her anger and frustration over racial violence, particularly police shootings of unarmed black people. The totem-like work consists of kitchen scales, a broken alarm clock, and a glitter-coated blackbird. Diagrams of slave ships on the backs of the scales serve as a reminder of America’s dark history. In the face of persistent discrimination, Saar’s work potently conveys the weight of waiting for justice and equality. KF

Ursula von Rydingsvard’s sculptures bridge abstraction and fi guration. Part of the generation of artists who came of age in the mid-1970s, in the wake of and Process art, Von Rydingsvard found her own language in melding together blocks of cedar wood. Gusta is among a series of recent works in which she slices and stacks these blocks to create a sculpture with a powerful architectural presence. Standing over seven feet tall, Gusta suggests the rounded form of an ancient fertility fi gure while also remaining essentially abstract, an expressive and evident display of the artist’s skilled handwork.

With wit and artistry, Cortis & Sonderegger re-create history’s most famous images. This work does not merely replicate Buzz Aldrin’s 1969 photograph; by leaving their tools and materials—a bag of cement, wire, and wood—visible, the artists invite an investigation of their product at the center. Details often overlooked in the original are revealed by this studio construction— the mysterious shadows cast by rocks, the delicate texture of the surface, and the boot print, carefully sited in the frame. Its position suggests that it could be the viewer’s own footstep, and therefore his or her own “leap for mankind.” LV

In contrast to Thomas Struth’s famed images of museums and cultural sites— a series begun in 1989 that propelled him to the forefront of late-twentieth-century photographers—his more recent works explore the complex relationship between humanity and technology. In Houston, he photographed NASA’s full-scale mock-up of the International Space Station submerged in a forty-foot-deep, 6.2-million-gallon pool—a facility in which astronauts train for work in a nearly weightless environment. Appropriately, the image is both monumental and disorienting, measured against a grid of refl ected lights but seemingly untethered to the Earth. MD

The Museum was the only U.S. venue to host this unprecedented exhibition, part of a major partnership with the National Portrait Gallery in London. Some 150 objects— most never before seen outside of England—told the story of Britain’s monarchy through masterworks of painting, sculpture, and photography. The exhibition brought visitors face-to-face with the fascinating fi gures of British royalty. Tudors to Windsors explored four royal dynasties: the House of Tudor (1485–1603), the House of Stuart (1603–1714), the House of Hanover (1714–1901), and the -day House of Windsor. Among the many works of art on view were portraits featuring King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, King George I, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana, and Prince William.

More than 130 works of art across a variety of media—collage, painting, assemblage, photography— showcased the richness and complexity of the underrepresented move- ment.

This exhibition brought together works of art from the collection of Mercantil Arte y Cultura in Caracas as well as from other public and private collections in Venezuela and the United States.

Lent by Glasgow Life (Glasgow Museums) on behalf of Glasgow City Council: from the Burrell Collection with the approval of the Burrell Trustees.

Garden Paradise: The Magnifi cent Safavid Carpet from the Burrell Collection, Glasgow explored the importance of the garden to Islamic culture through the lens of the renowned Wagner Garden Carpet. This rarely displayed masterpiece, woven in southeastern Iran in the seventeenth century, is one of the three earliest surviving Persian garden carpets in the world. Exhibited in the United States for the fi rst time, the Wagner Garden Carpet was on loan from the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The presentation came to Houston following its debut at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Garden Paradise also featured a selection of objects from the collection of Kuwait-based Hossein Afshar, who has made a long-term loan commitment to the Museum. Together, these important works of art demonstrated the profound appeal of garden imagery across all artistic media, from ceramics and metalwork to the arts of the book in Islamic lands. The exhibition offered a rare opportunity to explore a central topic of Islamic art and culture within the context of a one-of-a-kind masterwork.

The photographer Sally Mann explores what it means to be Southern. For more than forty years, Mann (born 1951) has made experimental, haunt- ingly beautiful photographs that address overarching themes of existence: memory, desire, death, and the bonds of family. Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings was the fi rst major retrospective of the celebrated artist’s career. This internationally traveling exhibition investigated how Mann’s relation- ship with her native Virginia, a place rich in literary and artistic traditions yet troubled by history, has shaped her work. Featuring more than 120 images organized into fi ve sections—family, landscape, battlefi elds, legacy, mortality—A Thousand Crossings showed how the American South has emerged within Mann’s work as a powerful and provocative force that continues to shape American identity and experience.

William Forsythe: Choreographic Objects

May 23–September 15, 2019 Cullinan Hall and North Foyer The Caroline Wiess Law Building

This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in cooperation with the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.

Generous support for this exhibition in Houston was provided by Gagosian; Nina and Michael Zilkha; Bettie Cartwright; Wendy and Mavis Kelsey, Jr.; Nena and David Marsh; and Shirley E. Rose.

William Forsythe: Choreographic Objects transformed the Museum into a series of performance spaces welcoming visitors of all ages. The interna- tionally acclaimed choreographer William Forsythe (born 1949) blurs the lines between performance, sculpture, video, and installation with his Choreographic Objects, an ongoing series of works that invite visitors to connect to the organizing principles of choreography. These works reveal the ways in which people consciously and unconsciously move through space and time, interact with one another, and respond to both the potential and the limits of their own bodies. This exhibition featured three of Forsythe’s signature works. Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time, No. 2 beckoned visitors to step within a fi eld of pendulums that swung from the ceiling in a mechanized choreographic pattern. Mean- while, City of Abstracts, an interactive video wall, captured and contorted images of passing visitors on its massive screen. Towards the Diagnostic Gaze consisted of a feather duster lying on a stone slab with a deceptively simple instruction: “Hold the object absolutely still.”

Icons of Style: A Century of Fashion Photography explored the rich and varied history of fashion photography. More than two hundred photo- graphs by famous practitioners and lesser-known yet infl uential artists presented a broad and diverse perspective on fashion photography and its trajectory from a niche industry to a powerful cultural force. The exhibition surveyed the gradual recognition of fashion photography as an art form. Icons of Style showcased a broad and diverse view of fashion and fashion photography—from elegant portraits made in the early twentieth century to the trendsetting of Beyoncé, , Audrey Hepburn, Grace Jones, Run-DMC, , and Solange, and to images that have graced the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Ebony, and Essence. The exhibition not only chronicled trends in fashion over the past century, it also refl ected broader cultural shifts. From aristocrats, to street style, to supermodels and globalism, fashion photography often defi nes the ways people see themselves. Icons of Style brought together local, national, and international loans, augmented with works from the Museum’s collections.

116 DEVELOPMENT

During the 2018–2019 fi scal year, the many successes in fund-raising were the result of commitment and work by members of the Board of Trustees, chaired by Richard D. Kinder; the Campaign for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, chaired by Mrs. Cornelia C. Long; and the Development Committee, chaired by Mrs. Courtney Lanier Sarofi m. The generous support of individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies totaled $21.7 million for operations, accessions, and special projects. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we honor all those donors who made this achievement possible.

ANNUAL DRIVES Funds raised through annual drives are an essential portion of the Museum’s operating budget. This year, four separate drives raised a total of more than $3.4 million for the Museum, Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, the Glassell School of Art, and Rienzi. The institution is indebted to the individuals who give their time and resources to help raise unrestricted funds for daily operations and critical programs.

BENEFIT EVENTS Every year, special events at the Museum raise vital funds for operations, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, organized seven such events for the 2018–2019 fi scal year. The Grand Gala Ball and Florescence together raised more than $2.5 million for the Museum. The Glassell School of Art Benefi t and Auction raised $415,001. Three benefi ts at Bayou Bend raised $1,046,483 and the Rienzi Spring Party raised $149,100. Two additional events, One Great Night in November and the Rienzi Society, supported art acquisitions and collectively raised more than $1.4 million.

For of all MFAH annual drives and benefi ts, please see page 120.

INDIVIDUAL GIFTS Individuals continue to provide the most signifi cant support for Museum activities, including exhibitions; learning and interpretation programs; conservation projects; and accessions. For extraordinarily generous gifts we thank Leslie and Brad Bucher; Anne and Charles Duncan; Mindy and Jeff Hildebrand; Nancy and Rich Kinder; Cornelia and Meredith Long; Sara and Bill Morgan; Mrs. Kay Onstead; Mr. Fayez S. Sarofi m; Mrs. Louisa Stude Sarofi m; and Cyvia G. Wolff.

FOUNDATION SUPPORT This year, more than 200 foundations provided over $28 million in support of operations, accessions, and capital projects. Houston foundations are exceptional in their giving, and we extend a special thank-you to The Brown Foundation, Inc.; Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Foundation; the Cullen Foundation; John R. Eckel, Jr. Foundation; the Elkins Foundation; the Glassell Family Foundation; the Hamill Foundation; Jerold B. Katz Foundation; the Robert and Janice McNair Foundation; and the Wortham Foundation, Inc.

CORPORATE CONTRIBUTIONS The Museum is proud of the support received from the corporate community in Houston and far beyond. This year, corporate groups provided more than $4 million. Special thanks go to Amerant; Bank of America; BBVA; Cartier; Harry Winston; JPMorgan Chase; Landry’s, Inc.; The Rand Group, LLC; Shell Oil Company; and Simon Property Group / Galleria Houston.

CIVIC AND GOVERNMENT GRANTS The Museum could not operate without funds provided by various civic and government organizations. This year, the Museum received more than $1.8 million in grants from local, state, and national groups. Our deepest appreciation is extended to the City of Houston; the Garden Club of Houston; Houston Junior Woman’s Club; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the River Oaks Garden Club; Texas Commission on the Arts; and Theta Charity Antiques Show.

118 PLANNED GIVING The Museum’s Myrtle Wreath and Ima Hogg Societies continue to fl ourish, with 341 members to end the fi scal year. These societies allow the MFAH to recognize donors who have let us know that they intend to provide important resources for future generations by including the Museum, the Glassell School of Art, Bayou Bend, or Rienzi in their estate plans. We extend our deep gratitude to the friends who have enrolled in these societies.

NON-CASH CONTRIBUTIONS Every year, the Museum receives valuable support from donors who provide indispensable in-kind services to the institution. We especially recognize Vinson & Elkins LLP for donating consistent and extraordinary legal service; Houston Public Media for generously supporting Museum exhibitions and programs through advertising; and United for donating airfare for Museum administrators as well as supporting exhibitions and special events.

VOLUNTEERS Our volunteers are perhaps the most impressive endorsement of the museum. They give of their time and service to enable the institution to better serve the community. In 2018–2019, more than 1,025 volunteers worked over 30,574 recorded hours. According to guidelines estab- lished by the Independent Sector, this support is worth more than $77,496. Volunteers give vital assistance in all areas of the Museum, including guest services, development, and learn- ing and interpretation. The corps of docents provides vast support not only for the Museum but also for Bayou Bend and Rienzi. We wish to pay special tribute to the Guild, the Museum’s volunteer leadership organization. The Guild was 368 members strong and provided constant, immeasurable support.

129 REPORT OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, enjoyed a magnifi cent fi scal year in 2019. The Museum’s operating fi nancial results far surpassed its original budget estimates and together with solid endowment returns propelled its net worth (fi nancial assets minus liabilities) to a record $1.8 billion (see fi g. 1).

OPERATING RESULTS

The Museum fi nished the 2019 fi scal year with a surplus from operations on both a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and a Management View basis. On a GAAP basis, the Museum earned a surplus from operations of $7.1 million. For its internal decision making, the Museum excludes certain non-recurring items and adjusts for non-cash items in its assessment of operations. This generally results in a more conservative Management View position relative to GAAP. By that measure, the Museum ended the fi scal year with a surplus of $4.6 million or approximately 6% of operating revenues (see Table 3).

Underlying the Museum’s superior fi scal year 2019 operating performance was the success of the exhibition Vincent van Gogh: His Life in Art. More than 234,000 guests visited the Museum specifi to see the exhibition, thus lifting all earned income areas, including revenue from admission to the Museum, membership, parking, and the MFA Shop. To wit: • The Museum earned approximately $6.4 million in revenue from admissions—a 37% increase from fi scal year 2018 (see fi g. 2). Approximately 1.27 million people visited the Museum, Bayou Bend, and Rienzi or enrolled in classes at the Glassell School during fi scal year 2019. • Revenue from auxiliary activities—namely the MFA Shop, parking, and special events— increased 55% over fi scal year 2018, reaching $5.3 million. • Membership revenue, which tends to be more transactional, grew to $3.4 million, a modest increase of 1.7% from the prior year. • Revenue from tuition at Glassell School of Art grew to $2.4 million. In fi scal year 2019, the Studio School program, which had been temporarily operating from a location off campus, resumed classes at the reimagined Glassell School of Art at the Susan and Fayez S. Sarofi m Campus.

We continue to be gratifi ed by the level of philanthropic support received by the Museum from individuals, corporations, and foundations. Philanthropy (both past and present) represents a vital lifeline, providing support for the Museum’s various initiatives and investments. In fi scal year 2019, the Museum received $14.2 million in operating fund-raising support (see fi g. 3) and almost $44 million in cash and pledges in support of its capital campaign. At the end of the fi scal year, the Museum had raised almost $470 million in cash and pledges earmarked for the campaign—surpassing the initial goal of $450 million.

130 INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

The Museum’s pooled endowment generated a strong absolute return of 7.9% during fi scal year 2019. This performance placed the endowment in the top quartile of peer institutions as measured by the Cambridge Associates greater than $1 billion endowment universe and substantially better than the median returns for colleges and universities tracked by Wilshire’s Trust Universe Comparison Service (TUCS). Investment performance has consistently outperformed globally diversifi ed reference portfolios comprising equities and bonds.

At the end of the fi scal year, the market value of the pooled endowment stood at a record high $1.3 billion (see fi g. 4). The Museum employs a spending formula that cushions the operating budget from short-term swings in the value of the endowment with a primary emphasis on maintaining the purchasing power of the endowment. The objective is to achieve a long-term real return in excess of endowment spending. Over the past ten years, the pooled endowment’s trailing annualized real return has exceeded endowment spending by approximately 320 basis points.

As of June 30, 2019, 64% of the pooled endowment was allocated to equity and equity mutual funds (see fi g. 5), followed by alternative investments (21.1%), money market mutual funds (7.5%), U.S. Treasuries and bonds (5.8%), and real assets and REITS (1.6%).

CHANGE IN NET ASSETS

The Museum had total assets of approximately $1.85 billion at the end of fi scal year 2019 (see fi g. 6). The largest asset categories are investments of $1.3 billion; land, buildings, and equipment of $376 million; and cash (cash equivalents) of $91 million.

On an ongoing basis, the Museum’s net assets (assets minus debt) represent the most fundamental measure of its fi nancial strength. This gauge of our net worth increased by $86 million from fi scal year 2018, reaching a record $1.8 billion (see fi g. 7). The principal additions to net assets were $43.8 million in gifts primarily earmarked for facilities and endowment returns (net of spending) of $32 million. Over the past ten years (since July 1, 2009), the Museum’s net assets have increased by more than $900 million—the combination of superior endowment returns and gifts to the capital campaign.

CONCLUSION

Over the last fi ve years, the fi nances of the Museum have in large part mirrored the macro- level period of economic expansion in the United States. The Museum has seen and continues to witness an expanded campus footprint, and an expanded asset base fueled by growth in its endowment and extraordinary gifts to its capital campaign. This expansion has been supported by careful planning, prudent management and stewardship of resources, a robust budgeting process, and, above all, continued and abiding faith in the Museum’s mission by its Trustees, donors, faculty, and staff. Such unwavering support allows us to be optimistic that the Museum’s fi scal structure will be resilient enough to withstand a future downturn (when it inevitably happens) in macro-economic conditions and that it has a solid, sustainable foundation to build upon for years to come.

LV THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, HOUSTON, WARMLY THANKS THE 1,671 DOCENTS, VOLUNTEERS, AND MEMBERS OF THE MUSEUM’S GUILD FOR THEIR EXTRAORDINARY DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT. ON THE COVER: EUGÈNE DELACROIX, French, 1798–1863 Women of Algiers, c. 1832–34 Oil on canvas 18 1/8 x 14 7/8 in. (46 x 37.8 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Brown Foundation Accessions Endowment Fund 2019.274

This wonderfully fresh fi rst version of Eugène Delacroix’s masterpiece The Women of Algiers in Their Apartment (1834, Musée du Louvre) has not been seen in public for more than a century and therefore constitutes a major discovery. It is a prime example of Delacroix’s brilliant technique and unrivaled handling of color. In this painting, which dates from his 1832 trip to North Africa, he has captured an intimate scene of Muslim women in their private quarters, their picturesque costumes, and the exotic interior setting with extraordinary sensitivity.
