We look back at events that shaped our past and look ahead to goals that will shape our future. As I reflect on our past half century, I’m struck by the prescience of people like Mina Rees, our founding president, and Albert Bowker, the CUNY chancellor whose vision has had such profound influence on the Graduate Center’s evolution. One of the first issues Bowker faced when he took office was how CUNY’s new Ph.D. programs were to be organized. He recognized PHOTO: PETER WALDVOGEL that, if political concerns were paramount, he should allow the CUNY colleges to become free-standing universities, each with a full set of doctoral programs. A seemingly more efficient route would concentrate each area of doctoral study at a different college by, for example, locating all foreign language and literature programs at Hunter College and all science programs at City College. This measure, however, would leave a scientist at Hunter without doctoral students and an English scholar at City in a As we hit the fifty-year similar position. Happily, Bowker opted for a collaborative approach and adopted mark, we celebrate the the consortium model that Mina Rees had introduced, two years earlier, at CUNY’s fledgling doctoral division. He called for a wisdom of the consortium consortium in which the very best faculty from each of the CUNY and chart a new course colleges would come together and create a world-class doctoral faculty, significantly stronger than any individual college might for collaborative scholarship. produce. As we hit the fifty-year mark, we celebrate the wisdom of this model of collaborative scholarship. Further, we extend it by mounting a new initiative we are calling the Advanced Research Collaborative. This effort will reformulate the Graduate Center’s mission as a hybrid enterprise. While we will continue to provide superb doctoral education, we will give equal emphasis to research, bringing scholars from the CUNY colleges to the Graduate Center to participate in seminars that will advance their work. We will engage postdoctoral fellows from throughout the world in this initiative, create a robust visiting faculty program, and fund fellowships for advanced students. As we take the Graduate Center in this new direction, we will be extending the vision of Albert Bowker, who recognized the critical influence of research in the life of a university. We will create the ground for scholarship that not only will move the Graduate Center and CUNY forward but will also address the challenges that the world will face in the next fifty years.

  • The Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1995 ARTIST'S CHOICE: ELIZABETH MURRAY June 20 - August 22, 1995 An exhibition conceived and installed by American artist Elizabeth Murray is the fifth in The Museum of Modern Art's series of ARTIST'S CHOICE exhibitions. On view from June 20 to August 22, 1995, ARTIST'S CHOICE: ELIZABETH MURRAY presents more than 100 drawings, paintings, prints, and sculptures by approximately seventy women artists. The exhibition involves works created between 1914 and 1973, including those ranging from early modernists Frida Kahlo and Liubov Popova to contemporary artists Nancy Graves and Dorothea Rockburne. Murray focuses particular attention on artists who made their reputations during the 1950s and 1960s, such as Lee Bontecou, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, when Murray herself was studying and forming her style. This exhibition and the accompanying video and panel discussion are made possible by a generous grant from The Charles A. Dana Foundation. Organized in collaboration with Kirk Varnedoe, Chief Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, the ARTIST'S CHOICE series invites artists to create an exhibition from the Museum's collection according to a personally chosen theme or principle. "I wanted, for myself, to explore what being a woman in the art world has meant," Murray writes in the exhibition brochure. "I wanted to weave together a sense of the genuine and profound contribution women's work has made to the art of our time." - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 2 Installed in the Museum's third-floor contemporary painting and sculpture galleries, the exhibition is arranged in thematic groupings.

  • History of Encaustic
    THE HISTORY OF ENCAUSTIC Wax is an excellent preservative of materials. The Greeks applied coatings of wax and pitch to weatherproof their ships. Pigmenting the wax gave rise to the decorating of warships and merchant ships. The use of a rudimentary encaustic was an established practice in the Classical Period (500-323 BC). It is possible that at about that time the crude paint applied with tar brushes to the ships was refined for the art of painting on panels. ENCAUSTIC AND TEMPERA Encaustic on panels rivaled that of tempera in what are the earliest known portable easel paintings. Tempera was a faster, cheaper process. Encaustic was a slow involved technique, but the paint could be built up in relief, and the wax gave a rich optical effect to the pigment. These characteristics made the finished work startlingly lifelike. Moreover, encaustic had far greater durability than tempera, which was vulnerable to moisture. Pliny refers to encaustic paintings several hundred years old in the possession of Roman aristocrats of his own time. ENCAUSTIC IN SCULPTURE We know that the white marble we see today in the monuments of Greek antiquity was once colored, either boldly or delicately and that wax was used to both preserve and enhance that marble (see "Polychromy in Greek Sculpture" below). The literary evidence of how this was done is scant. The figures on the Alexander Sarcophagus in the archeological Museum of Istanbul are an example of such coloration, although it is not clear how intense the original color was. The methods used to color the marble probably varied.

The fact of women's historical exclusion from the art world is part of the exploration, "Why have there been no great women artists?"-art historian Linda Nochlin famously asked in a 1971 essay. Her findings pointed to the past exclusion of women from working with male nude models, hence apprenticeships, then professions and academies, to which we add commercial gallery exhibitions, art criticism, and art history. Over the centuries this vicious cycle has shaped the current phenomenon: the predominance of male artists in museum collections .
