Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a recorded interview with Ann Wilson on 2009 April 19-2010 July 12. The interview took place at Wilson's home in Valatie, New York, and was conducted by Jonathan Katz for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This transcript has been lightly edited for readability by the Archives of American Art. The reader should bear in mind that they are reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview ANN WILSON: [In progress] "—happened as if it didn't come out of himself and his fixation but merged. It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice. What if it has come to be without external to us and what we read it to be then and heighten it toward that reading? If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it. External and forget the internal ordering that brought it about and without the final decision of what that ordering was about and our emphasis of it, other eyes would miss the chosen point and feel the lack of emphasis.

  • 2017 Abstracts
    Abstracts for the Annual SECAC Meeting in Columbus, Ohio October 25th-28th, 2017 Conference Chair, Aaron Petten, Columbus College of Art & Design Emma Abercrombie, SCAD Savannah The Millennial and the Millennial Female: Amalia Ulman and ORLAN This paper focuses on Amalia Ulman’s digital performance Excellences and Perfections and places it within the theoretical framework of ORLAN’s surgical performance series The Reincarnation of Saint Orlan. Ulman’s performance occurred over a twenty-one week period on the artist’s Instagram page. She posted a total of 184 photographs over twenty-one weeks. When viewed in their entirety and in relation to one another, the photographs reveal a narrative that can be separated into three distinct episodes in which Ulman performs three different female Instagram archetypes through the use of selfies and common Instagram image tropes. This paper pushes beyond the casual connection that has been suggested, but not explored, by art historians between the two artists and takes the comparison to task. Issues of postmodern identity are explored as they relate to the Internet culture of the 1990s when ORLAN began her surgery series and within the digital landscape of the Web 2.0 age that Ulman works in, where Instagram is the site of her performance and the selfie is a medium of choice. Abercrombie situates Ulman’s “image-body” performance within the critical framework of feminist performance practice, using the postmodern performance of ORLAN as a point of departure. J. Bradley Adams, Berry College Controlled Nature Focused on gardens, Adams’s work takes a range of forms and operates on different scales.

Returning to Paris in late 1859, he began conceiving the painting Alexandre et Bucéphale (Alexander and Bucephalus) (1861–62), which depicts an episode from Plutarch’s Lives. Étude pour “Alexandre et Bucéphale” (Study for “Alexander and Bucephalus”) consists of three separate studies for the central figure of Alexandre. It was the artist’s practice to assemble a composition piece by piece, often appearing to put greater effort into the details of a single figure than he did composing the work as a whole.

  • American Women in Florence Collector Christian Levett Has Illed His Italian Palazzo with a World- Class Assembly of Works by Female Abstract Expressionists
    LIFE & ARTS | IDEAS | ICONS American Women in Florence Collector Christian Levett has illed his Italian palazzo with a world- class assembly of works by female Abstract Expressionists. Joan Mitchell’s ‘When They Were Gone’ (1977) is among the works in Christian Levett’s collection of art by female Abstract Expressionists. PHOTO: COLLECTION OF CHRISTIAN LEVETT By John Hooper Jan. 22, 2021 155 pm ET Spread over two floors of a palazzo beside the River Arno in Florence, amid the treasures of the Italian Renaissance, is perhaps the world’s largest private collection of art by modern female abstractionists. Walking down the street you would never know it was there. Even if you knew the name of the collector, former hedge-fund manager Christian Levett, you would have to squint long and hard to find it in the cluster of little brass name plates alongside the palazzo’s massive door. But once across the threshold you are surrounded by paintings by Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell and other Abstract Expressionists who helped revolutionize art after World War II, turning New York City into the capital of Western culture for the first time. “There might be someone out there who has 10 Joan Mitchells, say. But in terms of breadth—and depth—I think this collection is unrivaled,” says Mr. Levett. It comprises 80 pictures, including 10 Elaine de Koonings and what is arguably Krasner’s most important work, the 1956 painting “Prophecy.” Elsewhere in the apartment are sculptures by Louise Bourgeois, works by Bridget Riley and tapestries by Tracey Emin.

  • Sedrick Huckaby Was Born in 1975 in Fort Worth, Texas. He Earned a BFA at Boston University in 1997 and an MFA at Yale University in 1999
    Philip Martin Gallery Sedrick Huckaby was born in 1975 in Fort Worth, Texas. He earned a BFA at Boston University in 1997 and an MFA at Yale University in 1999. Sedrick has earned many awards and honors for his art including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2008 and a Joan Mitchell Grant in 2004. He is an associate professor of painting at the University of Texas at Arlington and his work is represented by Valley House Gallery in Dallas, Texas. As a kid, Sedrick loved reruns of the seventies TV show Good Times. We both did. We were both inspired by the artiste character — J.J. Walker — and especially Ernie Barnes who was the real painter behind the best paintings seen on that show. Ernie Barnes was famous as a painter and an athlete. He played professional football from 1959 to 1965. In high school, Sedrick was a competitive athlete too and fencing was his sport of choice. In my mind, this connects Sedrick to Caravaggio who was also good with a sword. Unlike Caravaggio and more like Ernie Barnes — Sedrick is levelheaded and loves people but I’ve always felt that I can see the swordsman in Sedrick’s paint handling. Sedrick is a devoted father of three and husband to Letitia Huckaby who is also a visual artist. They live in Fort Worth, Texas, not too far from the Highland Hills neighborhood where he grew up. His parents and extended family all live in Fort Worth too. Family and community are important to Sedrick. 2712 S. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90034 philipmartingallery.com (310) 559-0100 Philip Martin Gallery In early 2018 Sedrick spent time as artist in residence at a hospital in Philadelphia, PA where he made drawings of patients and doctors while listening to them tell their stories.

Women Artists in the Collection This special exhibition of the permanent collection focuses exclusively on the contributions of American women artists. The fact of women's historical exclusion from the art world is part of the exploration, "Why have there been no great women artists?"-art historian Linda Nochlin famously asked in a 1971 essay. Her findings pointed to the past exclusion of women from working with male nude models, hence apprenticeships, then professions and academies, to which we add commercial gallery exhibitions, art criticism, and art history. Over the centuries this vicious cycle has shaped the current phenomenon: the predominance of male artists in museum collections .

  • 4Th International Art Exhibition of Japan
    For release: THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Thursday, May 9, 1957 11 WEST 53 STREET, NEW YORK 19, N. Y. N°* 3 TELEPHONE! CHICLE 5-8900 MUSEUM OP MODERN ART ORGANIZES U.S. REPRESENTATION AT 4TH INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION OF JAPAN pecent paintings by 15 young men and women constitute the United States representa­ tion at the 4th International Art Exhibition of Japan, opening at the National Mus­ eum of Modern Art, Tokyo on May 25. One of the most important modern art events in the Far East, this biennial exhibition in which Ik countries are participating this year is sponsored by the Mainichi Newspapers with the cooperation of the Foreign MiniBtry of Japan. Following its showing in Tokyo it will tour leading cities in japan for a period of six months. The United States section has been organized by the International Program of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. While American participation in previous Inter­ national Art Exhibitions in Japan has provided surveys of relatively well-known atyles of contemporary painting, at the request of the Japanese sponsors the pre­ sent group has been chosen to present to the Japanese public recent work by a number of younger artists. Frank O'Hara of the Museum's International Program, who directed the exhibition, has selected works executed within the past four years and intended to emphasize the vitality and diversity of styles found in American painting today. Included are "pure" abstractions by Sam Francis, Alfred Leslie, Stephen Pace, Raymond Parker and Milton Resnick; abstractions which suggest landscape forms by Richard Diebenkorn, Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell; still lifes of varying degrees of abstraction by Michael Goldberg and Robert Goodnough; a calligraphic ab­ straction by Cy Twombly; a vigorously painted portrait by Elaine de Kooning; and three large figurative paintings by Grace Hartigan, Jan Mailer and Larry Rivers.
