Alice Aycock Carter Burwell Bob Colacello Patti Askwith Kenner

For Your Dedication And Great Contributions To The Arts

MARTY AND MICHELE COHEN Dear Guests,

We believe in artists. This evening is a tribute to that basic tenet of Guild Hall. Artists lead us. Artists feed our and spirits.

When Guild Hall was founded in 1931, it was the first multidisciplinary center in the country, combining a museum, theater, and education program. Artists quickly flocked to Guild Hall and saw it as a platform for creative expression. At one time, Edward Albee was co-director of the John Drew Theater, Alfonso Ossorio organized the Members Exhibition, and Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner hung their work in it. Guild Hall has always been loved by artists.

Tonight, we honor the creative visionaries of this moment. Carter Burwell, whose music carries the narrative of dozens of motion pictures; Alice Aycock, who fearlessly pioneered monumental at the intersection of art and science; Bob Colacello, whose words chronicle the remarkable individuals of our time; and Patti Kenner, a tireless advocate for advancement, who created a fellowship for arts educators at Guild Hall. And we also honor you, our supporters, who are helping build the Guild Hall of the future. Enjoy the evening!

With appreciation,

ANDREA GROVER MARTY COHEN Executive Director Chairman Congratulations to all of tonight’s honorees, and my dear friend Alice Aycock for her Achievement in Visual Arts. JOYCE MENSCHEL Photo: Gus Sarino Photo:

“The best friend anyone ever had“

IN MEMORIAM

RICHARD OLDENBURG 1933–2018 Richard Oldenburg, the brother of pop artist , came to MoMA in 1969. He was initially hired by the museum to run its publications division. He was a well-liked man, according to the late Blanchette Rockefeller, a two-time president of the museum. Though he lacked a curatorial agenda, he did insist on weekly lunches of sandwiches and wine with his top curators. John Elderfield, the former Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the institution, said: “They were often rowdy. Dick was often exasperated, but had the knack of bringing a meeting to a close without promising anything at all and dealing with problems individually behind closed doors—or not. He had the further diplomatic talent of not doing anything at all so that problems went away by themselves—at least, usually.”

During his time at the museum, Oldenburg increased MoMA’s annual budget from $7 million to $50 million; pushed its endowment up to $180 million from $20 million; and raised its attendance numbers considerably. “When I think of Dick and the gift he gave me and the curators, it was a sense of stability,” said Glenn D. Lowry, MoMA’s current director.

Oldenburg, unlike his famous sibling, never made art, and he understood that the artist’s life was not for him. “[Claes] had the free spirit which I longed for,” he told People Magazine in 1984. “But I was born with an excess of caution.” - Courtesy of Artforum IN MEMORIAM PHOTO: MEREDITH HEUER MEREDITH PHOTO:
