Board of Governors since 2007, I am pleased to report s from the cha i rma n a d rector express my satisfaction at the many successes enjoyed by the Museum in the last two years outlined in the Director’s report that follows.

First, however, I must acknowledge Richard Gray, now our chairman emeritus, for his fifteen years of leadership; the Museum took great strides during his tenure. On behalf of all of his colleagues on the board, I want to extend our thanks and admiration for his service.

The Smart Museum is a distinguished and integral part of the University of Chicago and a vital participant in Chicago’s cultural scene, presenting exhibitions and programs of profound interest and intellectual rigor. At the same time, the Museum, aided by our dedicated student docents, provides outstanding programs for teachers and students in the Chicago Public Schools. I want to express particular gratitude to long-time board member and alumnus Michael Wyatt and his wife, Audrey, both natives of Chicago’s South Side, who in 2007 provided a substantial endowment to assist in sustaining this work with the schools and to help to provide the training of University s from the cha i rma n a d rector report of Chicago students involved with them. I also want to acknowledge the great generosity of Gerald Ratner, who provided one of the largest gifts in the Smart’s history to endow the Museum’s reception hall in memory of his late wife Eunice.

Thanks to the generosity of our board members and all of the Museum’s supporters, the Smart Museum has continued to flourish. It is an honor to serve as the chairman of the board of this vibrant institution, and a pleasure to work with its staff, University faculty and administrators, and all those who care about the visual arts at the University of Chicago and throughout our great city.

We are deeply grateful of American art in Chicago. to our supporters, and to the faculty, students, and administrators at the University, whose myriad contributions enable our programs to flourish. At the same time, we worked closely on programs with a wide variety of partners in the city, including our neighbors at Court Theatre, the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Snow City Arts Foundation, The exhibition Looking and Listening in Nineteenth Century France is a prime example of just what the Goethe-Institut Chicago, Doc Films, and the Neighborhood Writing Alliance. We continued our can be achieved when the Museum draws fully upon the resources of the University and our own partnership with the Blackstone branch of the Chicago Public Library and then expanded it to the collection. The exhibition presented an entirely new approach to the material and provided students Bessie Coleman branch as well. Our student docent program, a national model, was further refined in the opportunity to publish their research alongside more experienced scholars in the exhibition the last two years, and our school programs now include a studio component presented at the Hyde catalogue. Looking and Listening also provided a case study for The Academic Muse conference Park Art Center. convened and hosted by the Smart Museum.

eight hundred personal letters to Westermann. Composed each morning, the letters c Q u isi t i o ns provided Westermann a release from the tension he felt while working on his collection—Westermann sculptural pieces. These letter-drawings provide a unique biography of the artist blends conflicting imagery with in words and pictures. autobiographical detail. Painted on one of the tower windows is “Joanny,” Westermann’s pet name for his wife, Joanna Beall Westermann, and inscribed inside the tower are references to the couple’s friends. An enigmatic bell may be rung by pulling a chain at the back of the building, signaling an alarm. Or perhaps it is a wedding bell: Burning House is a token of the artist’s love and was made as a betrothal or wedding gift.

This work, sent to Dennis Adrian, an art historian and longtime friend and champion of the artist, is one of many of Westermnn’s idiosyncratic letter-drawings in the Smart Museum’s collection. In this example, Westermann first printed the sheet with a linocut of his own design before adding an illustrated personal note.

In the summer of 2007, three concurrent exhibitions (Living Modern, Majestic Nature/ acqu isi t i o ns Golden History, and The World Writ Small) showcased the breadth and depth of the Smart’s collection of German art. Mixing old favorites and new additions, including Peter von Cornelius’s Faust cycle, which joins the Museum’s growing holdings of Romantic art, together the exhibitions illustrated the ways in which printmaking is entwined with German visual culture and national identity.

Marianne Brandt Tea Service This early and extremely rare Tea Service is renowned as the classic metal object from the Bauhaus. Marianne Brandt is one of the best known of the Bauhaus metalworkers and is one of the few women to work in this celebrated workshop of the famed German design school. At the time of its production, the silver teapot was widely praised for its understated form and practical construction: the wood knob and grip are heat- resistant and the push-on lid, placed to the right, away from the spout, does not drip. The functional design was intended for industrial production, but this tea service was crafted by hand. It is the only silver set of its kind in a U.S. museum.

Using a style that emulated Albrecht Dürer, Cornelius developed an engraving technique that is characterized by fine layers of line and shading and a silvery gray tonality.

German art and design—especially Expressionist graphics—have long been a strength of the Smart Museum’s collection. New acquisitions have further enriched the collection, offering visitors new insights into the multiple Modernisms of the period. Max Dungert’s Landscape is an appealing example of the art of interwar Germany. An amalgam of local and foreign styles, the painting reflects the influence of prewar Expressionism while relating dynamically to other Modern works in the Museum’s collection.

The geometric form of Marianne Brandt’s masterful Tea Service is closely related to the Constructivist prints made by Brandt’s mentor at the Bauhaus, László Moholy-Nagy. Featured prominently in Living Modern, the tea service revealed an unexpected connection between the art and design movements of the period.

Baroque, and early nineteenth-century European paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints from the collection of Edward A. and Inge Maser. An exhibition of these works is planned for spring 2009. On that occasion, The Edward A. Maser Gallery for Art Before 1900 will be rededicated to honor both Ed and Inge. The Masers left an indelible mark on the Smart Museum. A scholar of Baroque art and a isi t i o ns acqu professor at the University of Chicago, Ed was the Smart’s first director and his guidance shaped the artistic direction of the Museum and its collection. Inge was an irrepressible and vital presence at Ed’s side, whether on art pilgrimages in Europe or entertaining dur- ing countless dinners she prepared in their Hyde Park home.

Under the direction of Italian Cosimo Castrucci and his son Giovanni, pietre dure flourished in the imperial court of Rudolf II in Prague. The cosmopolitan interests of the emperor are reflected in the complex interplay between natural materials and the artist’s creative representation of the world. Many pietre dure panels represent identifiable yet idealized landscapes and city views. This scenic panel—a city view embraced by distant mountains and transversed by a bridge in the foreground—is an especially accomplished example Carlone’s oil sketch erases the ceiling of this artistic tradition. from the Baroque interior, opening an unobstructed view of the gods in their

Since at least the Renaissance, drawing has been a familiar part of the creative process in Western art. Today, the styles, materials, and forms of art have expanded, and drawing has become a vital and self-sufficient art form. However, artists continue to use drawing to brainstorm and experiment, to explore ideas, and to propose, hone, circulate, and chronicle their works in other media. Sketches and formal compositions still inform the practices of painting and sculpture, and now artists might also draw layouts for installation art, storyboards for performances, or instructions to be followed by viewers. Organized as a series of case studies of artists with connections to the Smart Museum’s collections and commissions, this exhibition offered a behind-the-scenes look at the working process of some of today’s leading artists: Mark Dion, Julia Fish, Carol Jackson, Kerry James Marshall, Richard Rezac, Erwin Wurm, and Zhang Huan.

Most famously, in the 1960s he reconfigured popular magazines to create highly charged juxtapositions of photojournalistic and advertising images and surreptitiously returned them to newsstands. This exhibition considered a rich selection of his magazine-based works, including materials from the Smart collections Museum’s and the artist’s archive.

Curator: Curator of Contemporary Art In the nineteenth century, the Romantic myth of creative genius endowed artists—painters, sculptors, writers, and musicians—with almost godlike status. Portraits of such artists often served as a lasting means of remembrance and veneration, yet the spirit of these works varied greatly, from affectionate to reverential, or even satirical.

Major support was provided by the Calderwood Charitable Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Patrons of the McMullen Museum. This exhibition was also supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. February 1–May 20, 2007 exh i b t o ns The Smart Museum’s presentation of the exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the University of Chicago Women’s Board and Richard and Mary L. Gray Gallery for Special Exhibitions The Alsdorf Foundation. Significant additional funding was provided by the Smart Family Foundation and the Smart Museum’s Board of Governors Exhibition Fund. In-kind support was provided by SAS Cargo.

Cosmophilia—literally “love of ornament”—examined one of the most characteristic and attractive features of Islamic art. Covering a millennium of Islamic history in regions extending from Spain to China, this comprehensive exhibition surveyed the extraordinary range and virtuosity of one of the world’s great artistic traditions. Organized visually by theme, as opposed to chronologically or historically, the objects in the exhibition were grouped into five sections— figures, writing, geometry, vegetation-arabesque, and hybrids. The sections traced how artisans used major types of ornament and how these themes developed in different times and places. Drawn from the David Collection in Copenhagen, Denmark, Cosmophilia offered a rare opportunity for audiences in the United States to study one of the finest collections of Islamic art, both secular and religious.

Rejecting the formal ideals and aesthetic principles of neoclassicism, German artists turned inward to local sources, Gothic art, and the Renaissance masters Albrecht Dürer and Raphael.

June 7–September 16, 2007 exh i b t o ns Richard and Mary L. Gray Gallery for Special Exhibitions This exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Feitler Family Fund, and was presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Austrian Consulate General in Chicago.

Modernism was not only an innovative aesthetic recognized by its crisp, abstracted forms and progressive use of materials, it was also a way of thinking about contemporary life. Against a backdrop of industrialization, urbanization, world war, and reconstruction, many German and Austrian artists and designers dreamed of a better world. Several common themes emerged from this utopian vision, but styles and subjects varied remarkably. While some artists and designers appealed to traditional forms of representation and modes of production, others emphasized inno- vative expressions and technologies. Living Modern featured more than 150 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, and household designs drawn from the Smart Museum’s collection. With works representing several major artistic and design movements—including Symbolism, Expressionism, New Objectivity, and the Bauhaus—the exhibition looked at the various Modern- isms that together contributed to the richness of life in Germany and Austria during a period of cultural, social, and political transformation.

This exhibition was made possible by the Florence B. Selden Fund and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, with additional support provided by Yale alumni Richard and Mary L. Gray Gallery for Special Exhibitions Mr. and Mrs. Bruce B. Dayton and Dr. and Mrs. Edmund P. Pillsbury.

Whether made as preparatory studies or stand-alone works, drawings offer an intimate glimpse at an artist’s personality and talents. They reward close examination for their insight into the various stages of the creative process. This exhibition presented a compelling survey of European draftsmanship, with masterworks by Guercino, Jacob Jordaens, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Jean-Antoine Watteau, and Edgar Degas, among many others. The selections came from the Yale University Art Gallery’s substantial collection of European drawings and included examples of nearly every artistic movement and drawing technique used by European artists from the Renaissance to the mid-nineteenth century. Organized chronologically, the works represented all types of drawings—not only finished sheets, but also studies for paintings and other preparatory works meant for a variety of purposes. While tracing the history of European drawings, the exhibition showcased the distinguished collection of the Yale University Art Gallery.

The Smart Museum presentation was overseen by Anne Leonard, Smart Museum Curator and Mellon Program Coordinator. 63 Adaptation: Video Installations by Ben-Ner, Herrera, Sullivan, and Sussman & The Rufus Corporation exh i b t o ns January 31–May 4, 2008

This exhibition was supported by the Office of the Provost and the Arts Council, University of Chicago, the Feitler Family Fund, Marilyn and Larry Fields, Richard and Mary L. Gray Gallery for Special Exhibitions Susan and Lewis Manilow, Dirk Denison, and the members and friends of the Smart Museum.

Although adaptation is a common practice in popular culture, it is perhaps less well known as a practice in contemporary art. Through six video installations this exhibition looked at the use of adaptation in the work of four leading artists: Guy Ben-Ner, Arturo Herrera, Catherine Sullivan, and Eve Sussman & The Rufus Corporation. These artists transformed source material to make their own works of art, reenvisioning classic literature, painting, film, ballet, and even e-mail as video installations. Ben-Ner condensed Herman Melville’s Moby Dick into a brief silent film, while Sussman’s The Rape of the Sabine Women, a contemporary retelling of the Roman myth, drew inspiration from an eighteenth-century painting. This exhibition addressed questions of fidelity and creativity while generating new understanding of the use of adaptation in contemporary art. Adaptation included the U.S. museum premieres of Sussman’s The Rape of the Sabine Women— coproduced by the Smart Museum—and Les Noces, Herrera’s first video installation. The presentation at the Smart Museum also included a piece by ARTV 24103, a collective of University of Chicago students who participated in a practicum on adaptation taught by Catherine Sullivan.

Curator: Studies, New University, York and an alumnus of the University of Chicago, in consultation with Jessica Moss, Smart Museum Curatorial Assistant In the early twentieth century, many photographers turned their cameras to their immediate environment, finding subjects in the everyday imagery and visual clamor of the streets in modern cities. In capturing daily city life, some photographers produced abstract views of vast urban architecture, while others depicted much more narrative scenes of abject poverty. With photographs from the Smart Museum collection by Walker Evans and Paul Strand, among others, this exhibition looked at the modern city as seen from the street. Curator: candidate in art history, in consultation with Richard A. Born, Smart Museum Senior Curator Sol LeWitt was one of the first artists to use color and line as building blocks in a serial approach to art. LeWitt had already used color and line in the early 1960s, but later he assigned them a predominant role while making artists’ books and prints. This exhibition, including lithographs and a sampling of artists’ books, explored how LeWitt’s serial use of color and line intersected with some ofhis early experiments with mechanical reproduction. Curator: candidate in art history, in consultation with Stephanie Smith, Smart Museum Director of Collections and Exhibitions and Curator of Contemporary Art From ancient times to the present theological day, traditions have reflected on idolatry and grappled with the significance and power of objects.

Seeing the City: Sloan’s New York was organized by the Delaware Art Museum. The exhibition received generous support from the May 22–September 14, 2008 Henry Luce Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Helen Farr Sloan Trust. Richard and Mary L. Gray Gallery for Special Exhibitions exh i b t o ns The Smart Museum’s presentation of the exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Feitler Family Fund. Additional support has been provided by the Terra Foundation on behalf of James Donnelley and Neil Harris.

The exhibition and related programs were presented as part of American Art American City, a Chicago-wide celebration of American Art.

John Sloan’s images of New York helped define the city in the popular imagination. Yet Sloan’s vision was a subjective one, tied to his particular observations of the neighborhoods in which he lived and the individuals he encountered. In gritty depictions of urban life, Sloan celebrated the metropolis of New York by focusing on street scenes, elevated trains, public spaces, and the lives of ordinary Americans. More than a series of locations, Sloan’s images of New York reflect the artist’s own pedestrian movement through the city. Gathering together material in all media from 1900 to the 1930s—on loan from various public and private collections—this exhibition demonstrated the correlation between where Sloan created his art and what he depicted. Seeing the City mapped Sloan’s New York, locating precisely the sites portrayed in his work and examining the personal meaning tied to the places he chose to depict again and again.
