The Checklist has been organized by geography (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America) and within each continent by broad category (Costume and Textiles; Decorative Arts; Paintings; Prints, Drawings, and Photographs; Sculpture). Within each category, works of art are listed chronologically. An asterisk indicates that an object is illustrated in black and white in the Checklist. Page references are to color plates. For gifts of a collection numbering more than forty objects, an overview of the contents of the collection is provided in lieu of information about each individual object.

  • La Huella Majistral for Divi
    Majestic Impression La Huella Magistral September 22 through October 28, 2017 Curated by Nitza Tufiño Jaime Montiel Rini -Templeton This exhibition features the works of artists printmakers who are members of the ''Consejo Grafico '' (The Graphic Council), a national Latinx organization of ''Talleres'' printmaking workshops. The portfolio of prints is by selected artists, who have created original works honoring a master printmaker who has influenced him or her. The featured artists are Rene Arceo; Pepe Coronado; Francisco X Siqueiros; Marianne Sadowski; Kay Brown; Poli Marichal; Juan R Fuentes; Richard Xavier Serment; Ramiro Rodriguez; Joe Segura; Paul del Bosque; Sandra C Fernandez; Maceo Montoya; Lezlie Salkowitz Montoya; Malaquias Montoya; Loanda Lozano; Nitza Tufiño; Betty Cole; Eliezer Berrios; and Marcos Dimas. In addition, during this event, there will be an adjoining exhibit featuring the work from members of the Dominican York Proyecto GRAFICA (DYPG) and Taller Boricua’s Rafael Tufiño Printmaking Workshop. Since 2000, a group of independent printmaking workshops began to form a coalition, the CONSEJO GRÁFICO, to "advance Latino printmakers' capacity and legacy in the United States." This beautiful series of prints constitutes their third Portfolio Exchange. The Portfolio, an edition of 30, gathers 19 participating artists, each contributing to print MAJESTIC IMPRESIONS 2017 1 The Portfolio's title, LA HUELLA MAGISTRAL: HOMAGE TO MASTER PRINTMAKERS, reveals the charitable purpose of the participating artists: to honor their teachers — master printmakers who taught, mentored, or inspired them. These artists share moral values and social ideals with those who inspired them: the defense of poor and oppressed peoples, solidarity with workers, a commitment to public education.

  • Ammi Phillips's Portraits with Animals
    Atntni Phillips's Portraits with Anitnals by Leigh Rehner Jones and Shirley A. Mearns mmi Phillips (1788-1865), the nineteenth-century portrait artist, spent most of his working life in the Hudson Valley, where he painted its people-and yes, a few of its animals , too. Two years ago, his POTtrait of a GiTl in a Red DTess sold A I for $682,000, a record price for a work by this extraordinarily pro­ lific artist who painted more than five hundred portraits during a career spanning at least fifty years. 2 Nineteen of the surviving portraits by Ammi Phillips depict ani­ mals, and these are some of the most appealing works by the Con­ necticut-born artist. The child he painted in Portrait of a Gid in a Red DTess is charming; equall y charming is the brown-and-white beagle­ like dog at her feet. Together they make an especiall y winning double portrait. While the people in Phillips's portraits are sometimes identified, more frequently their names are unknown. This anonym ity extends as we ll to the animals in his paintings. Cats and dogs are nearly always found with child ren, but in two portraits of adults, a horse and a team of oxen are painted which are undoubtedly clues to the sitters' professions. 62 The Hudson Valley Regional Review, September 1987, Volu me 4, Number 2 D r. Cornelius Allerton (1779-1855) was painted about 1825 in Pine Plains, Dutchess County, New York, where he practiced medicine. He was recalled later as having "perceptive faculties of high order" and as "quick and correct in diagnosis, and a bold yet carefuI prac­ titioner.

  • HARD FACTS and SOFT SPECULATION Thierry De Duve
    THE STORY OF FOUNTAIN: HARD FACTS AND SOFT SPECULATION Thierry de Duve ABSTRACT Thierry de Duve’s essay is anchored to the one and perhaps only hard fact that we possess regarding the story of Fountain: its photo in The Blind Man No. 2, triply captioned “Fountain by R. Mutt,” “Photograph by Alfred Stieglitz,” and “THE EXHIBIT REFUSED BY THE INDEPENDENTS,” and the editorial on the facing page, titled “The Richard Mutt Case.” He examines what kind of agency is involved in that triple “by,” and revisits Duchamp’s intentions and motivations when he created the fictitious R. Mutt, manipulated Stieglitz, and set a trap to the Independents. De Duve concludes with an invitation to art historians to abandon the “by” questions (attribution, etc.) and to focus on the “from” questions that arise when Fountain is not seen as a work of art so much as the bearer of the news that the art world has radically changed. KEYWORDS, Readymade, Fountain, Independents, Stieglitz, Sanitary pottery Then the smell of wet glue! Mentally I was not spelling art with a capital A. — Beatrice Wood1 No doubt, Marcel Duchamp’s best known and most controversial readymade is a men’s urinal tipped on its side, signed R. Mutt, dated 1917, and titled Fountain. The 2017 centennial of Fountain brought us a harvest of new books and articles on the famous or infamous urinal. I read most of them in the hope of gleaning enough newly verified facts to curtail my natural tendency to speculate. But newly verified facts are few and far between.

  • New Textiles Inspired by Ikat - by Christina Maschke Degree Project Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with Specialization in Textile Design
    THE PATTERNED THREAD - new textiles inspired by ikat - by Christina Maschke Degree Project Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with Specialization in Textile Design Title The patterned thread - new textiles inspired by ikat Author Christina Maschke Supervisor Margareta Zetterbloom Opponent Malene Kristiansen Examiner Hanna Landin Report No. 2016.6.05 The Swedish School of Textiles University of Borås Sweden Abstract The work of this MA thesis develops a new ap- proach to hand weaving in which the design pro- cess is led by the technique of resistant dyeing. The process is inspired by the visual properties of traditional ikats. It follows the technical ikat procedure of primary resistant dyeing and sub- sequently weaving. Whithin the research a new way of weaving is explored in which the dyed thread dictates the weaving process and therefore influences the weaving motif. In addition different design variables such as material, binding pattern and finishing are used to push forward the devel- oped concept. The aim of this work is to explore new aesthetic expressions between regular and irregular motifs through the application of design thinking. The result presents an innovative approach in the ikat technique in order to create random distrib- uted patterns and how they can be already influ- enced in the stage of yarn preparation. Keywords: ikat, indigo, resistant dyeing, craft, hand weaving 3 CONTENT 1 INTRODUCTION ....................................................................10 1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE FIELD ......................................10

Old Ties and New Points Keiko Kobayashi This paper discusses the development and technical transfer of what is perhaps the world's tiniest double ikat, Kasuri, developed in Japan after the Meiji restoration of 1868. Around the early 20th century, Japanese Kasuri was at the zenith of its quality, in creating geometric as well as pictorial designs using a very advanced form of color and weave effect. There were three reasons for this development during this period. The first reason was in the improvement of the "Orijime" technique which is a uniquely Japanese method in making kasuri threads using the loom. The second reason was the importation of knowledge from Lyon, France, on how to use graph paper which greatly contributed to making the designs of the finished textile products more sophisticated and pictorial. The third reason was social in that during this period, there was a rise in the demand for clothing in Japan as the country was becoming modernized.
