I feel so lucky to lead Asuch an amazing group of scholars—faculty, graduate students, and undergradu- ate majors—for the next two years. I am grateful to Clare Crowston for her advice and wise counsel throughout the summer as we prepared for the transition. My faculty joins me in wishing her all the best for a productive and restorative sabbatical this year and in the new position she’ll assume in August 2020 as Associate Dean for the Humanities and Interdisci- plinary Programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The dedicated staff in 309 Gregory Hall provide the support we all need to keep the department running smoothly, attending to every detail. I have relied on their expertise, experience, and professionalism as I have learned the job, and I am grateful to each of them. For the past eighteen years, Tom Bedwell, our business manager, has ensured the successful running of all aspects of departmental operations. His total commitment, professionalism, and skill as a financial manager are matched by his unflagging dedication to the welfare of each and every faculty member, student, and staff. Dawn Voyles assists Tom working effi- ciently to reserve flights for faculty, pay honoraria to visiting scholars, and process receipts.

  • The Archive of Renowned Architectural Photographer
    DATE: August 18, 2005 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE GETTY ACQUIRES ARCHIVE OF JULIUS SHULMAN, WHOSE ICONIC PHOTOGRAPHS HELPED TO DEFINE MODERN ARCHITECTURE Acquisition makes the Getty one of the foremost centers for the study of 20th-century architecture through photography LOS ANGELES—The Getty has acquired the archive of internationally renowned architectural photographer Julius Shulman, whose iconic images have helped to define the modern architecture movement in Southern California. The vast archive, which was held by Shulman, has been transferred to the special collections of the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute making the Getty one of the most important centers for the study of 20th-century architecture through the medium of photography. The Julius Shulman archive contains over 260,000 color and black-and-white negatives, prints, and transparencies that date back to the mid-1930s when Shulman began his distinguished career that spanned more than six decades. It includes photographs of celebrated monuments by modern architecture’s top practitioners, such as Richard Neutra, Frank Lloyd Wright, Raphael Soriano, Rudolph Schindler, Charles and Ray Eames, Gregory Ain, John Lautner, A. Quincy Jones, Mies van der Rohe, and Oscar Niemeyer, as well as images of gas stations, shopping malls, storefronts, and apartment buildings. Shulman’s body of work provides a seminal document of the architectural and urban history of Southern California, as well as modernism throughout the United States and internationally. The Getty is planning an exhibition of Shulman’s work to coincide with the photographer’s 95th birthday, which he will celebrate on October 10, 2005. The Shulman photography archive will greatly enhance the Getty Research Institute’s holdings of architecture-related works in its Research Library, which -more- Page 2 contains one of the world’s largest collections devoted to art and architecture.
