    Maud Morgan Prize – Annette Lemieux, p. 1 Contact: Karen Frascona Grace Munns 617.369.3442 617.369.3045 [email protected] [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BOSTON, AWARDS 2017 MAUD MORGAN PRIZE, HONORING A MASSACHUSETTS WOMAN ARTIST, TO ANNETTE LEMIEUX BOSTON (January 31, 2017)—The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), announced today that Boston-based Annette Lemieux (born 1957) is the recipient of its 2017 Maud Morgan Prize, which honors a Massachusetts woman artist who has demonstrated creativity and vision, and who has made significant contributions to the contemporary arts landscape. Ranging from painting to photography to found-object assemblage, Lemieux’s conceptual works confront urgent subjects such as the horror of war, the nature of time, the elusive truth of memory and the relationship between personal experience and cultural history. Currently a Senior Lecturer on Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University, she has influenced younger generations of artists as a teacher for more than 20 years. The Museum has collected Lemieux’s works since the late 1980s, cultivating a sustained belief in her practice. As part of the Prize, the artist will receive a $10,000 award, and an exhibition of her work will be Annette Lemieux presented at the MFA in the summer. “Annette is fearless about tackling timely socio-political issues in her artwork. She is a careful observer of the world and a thoughtful commentator on important issues of our time,” said Matthew Teitelbaum, Ann and Graham Gund Director of the MFA. “We look forward to working closely with her and sharing her voice with a wide and appreciative public.” Born in Norfolk, Virginia, Lemieux received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the Hartford Art School, University of Hartford in 1980.

    RISD and Photography, June 5, 2008-October 26, 2008

    RISD and Photography, June 5, 2008-October 26, 2008 This inaugural show celebrates the creation of the Museum’s first exhibition space dedicated to photography: The Bill and Nancy Tsiaras Gallery in honor of Aaron Siskind. On view are highlights from the work of many exceptional photographers who have been associated with RISD. Not only have they made important contributions to the history of the medium, but many have also been instrumental to the growth of the collection. The development of the Museum’s holding in this area is closely tied to the founding of RISD’s Photography Department. Harry Callahan was hired in 1961 to initiate the program, and Aaron Siskind joined him in 1971. Callahan and Siskind were two of the 20th century’s most influential photographers, admired for their unique approaches to the medium as well as for their teaching. They drew remarkably talented students to the College, an occurrence that continues under today’s faculty. One of the earliest programs in the country, the department was founded before photography was widely considered an art form even among museums. Happily, RISD’s Museum staff was enthusiastic about photography and set about acquiring its images with advice from the new department shortly after Callahan’s arrival. Close connections with prominent RISD faculty and alumni have remained crucial to the development of the collection. To this day, Siskind and Callahan’s association with the College continues to attract gifts to the Museum. In fact, it was their friendship with Bill and Nancy Tsiaras that led to the support for this new dedicated gallery.
