  • Annual Report
    2011 Annual Report Dear Members and Friends, Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011) was one of experimentation and outreach and one of celebrating accomplished artists living and working in the region. The curatorial and public programs staff jointly experimented with a new concept for an exhibition addressing the theme of how museums collect, care for, interpret, exhibit and transport art in The Secret Life of Art: Mysteries of the Museum Revealed. In planning for the exhibition, the staff reached out with an online survey asking the public what they might like to learn about museum operations. Responses from 450 individuals helped determine the content of the exhibition, related programs and the newly-launched blog. The installation of the exhibition experimented with some new interpretive techniques: videos on the design process of the Zimmerman House and on the preparation of Jan Gossaert’s Portrait of a Man for shipment to the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the display of materials used to pack paintings in crates; and the exhibition of the reverse of Georgia O’Keeffe’s A Cross by the Sea, 1925, to show the array of labels that document the painting’s history since it was first shown at Alfred Stieglitz’ gallery, An American Place, in New York City. Throughout the year we celebrated innovative artists from New IMAGES England with solo exhibitions. During the summer we featured COVER: Jon Brooks talks to Anne Milne, the kinetic sculpture of George Sherwood, a Massachusetts Trustee Emerita, at the opening of his first retrospective exhibition Jon Brooks: artist, whose Fusion II now animates the Zachos Court in front A Collaboration with Nature.

    SPRING/SUMMER BULLETIN 2011 vimuseume of artsws and design Dear Friends, Board of Trustees Holly Hotchner LEWIS KRUGER Nanette L. Laitman Director Chairman What a whirlwind fall! Every event seemed in some way or another a new milestone for JEROME A. CHAZEN us all at 2 Columbus Circle. And it all started with a public program that you might have Chairman Emeritus thought would slip under the radar—Blood into Gold: The Cinematic Alchemy of Alejandro BARbaRA TOBER Chairman Emerita Jodorowsky. Rather than attracting a small band of cinéastes, this celebration of the Chilean- FRED KLEISNER born, Paris-based filmmaker turned into a major event: not only did the screenings sell Treasurer out, but the maestro’s master class packed our seventh-floor event space to fire-code LINDA E. JOHNSON Secretary capacity and elicited a write-up in the Wall Street Journal! And that’s not all, none other HOllY HOtcHNER than Debbie Harry introduced Jodorowsky’s most famous filmThe Holy Mountain to Director filmgoers, among whom were several downtown art stars, including Klaus Biesenbach, the director of MoMA PS1. A huge fan of this mystical renaissance man, Biesenbach was StaNLEY ARKIN DIEGO ARRIA so impressed by our series that beginning on May 22, MoMA PS1 will screen The Holy GEORGE BOURI Mountain continuously until June 30. And, he has graciously given credit to MAD and KAY BUckSbaUM Jake Yuzna, our manager of public programs, for inspiring the film installation. CECILY CARSON SIMONA CHAZEN MICHELE COHEN Jodorowsky wasn’t the only Chilean artist presented at MAD last fall. Several had works ERIC DObkIN featured in Think Again: New Latin American Jewelry.

    Moderne Gallery Is Making A Move! - as always...looking forward, taking the lead ---- From Old City to Port Richmond, Philadelphia, in January 2019 Moderne Gallery, recognized internationally as the prime gallery for studio craft furniture, and as the leading Nakashima dealer in the world, is moving to a new center for high end design, art and antiques in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, as of January 2019. The new showroom is not open to the public as of yet, but can be visited by appointment only. It is set to open in the Spring of 2019. Moderne Gallery will be the first tenant in the Showrooms at 2220, a newly restored former mill at 2220 East Allegheny Avenue, (Port Richmond) Philadelphia, PA 19134. The 100,000 square-foot building is owned and managed by Jeffrey Kamal and Joe Holahan, co-owners of Kamelot Auction Company, which holds its auctions and has its offices in the building. "We are not downsizing, or giving up our showroom concept with special exhibitions," says Moderne Gallery founder/director Robert Aibel. "And certainly we will continue to build our business through internet sales." Joshua Aibel, Robert's son, is now co-director of Moderne Gallery and helping to develop this combination of sales concepts. "We see this as an opportunity to move to a setting that presents a comprehensive, easily accessible major art, antiques and design center for our region, just off I-95," says Josh Aibel. "The Showrooms at 2220 offer an attractive new venue with great showroom spaces and many advantages for our storage and shipping requirements." Moderne Gallery's new showrooms are being designed by the gallery's longtime interior designer Michael Gruber of Philadelphia.

  • Mark Lindquist: Revolutions in Wood. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1995
    Mark Lindquist: Revolutions in Wood. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1995; pp. 9-23. Text © Robert Hobbs Mark Lindquist: Revolutions in Wood ROBERT HOBBS To a casual observer Mark Lindquist might at first appear to be an epigone of rhe American woodturning movement's first generation, which was led in the 1950s and 1960s by his father Melvin Lindquist who initiated the use of spa! ted wood, Rude Osolnik who rethought and reinvigorated Southern folk traditions of production woodturning, Bob Stocksdale who delighted in examining the inherent properties of various exotic materials, and Ed Moulthrop who originated ways to turn monumental vessels and envelop them in space-age plastics. However, Lindquist's contributions to this movement in terms of technical innovations and reconsideration of the vessel as a sculptural form rich in cultural and stylistic associations are so profound and far-reaching that rhey have reconstituted the field. Recalling his attitudes in Mark Lindquist, c. 1977 rhe late 1960s when he began, this remarkable innovator has said, "I did not then care for the rime-honored traditions of the craft, and I do nor now care about rhe taboos of rhe purisrs." 1 His generosity in disseminating his ideas and techniques among great numbers of woodrurners through carefully researched essays on his ground-breaking discoveries and his basic primer Sculpting Wood: Contempormy Tools and Techniques 2 has had the net result of making many of his pioneering fears regularly accepted practices. Some of his important technical innovations have received such a sweeping imprimatur from the modern srudio woodrurning movement that they need to be recalled in this study, together with their dares, in order to assess properly his lasting impact on this field.
