  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • Controversial “Conversations” Analyzing a Museum Director’S Strategic Alternatives When a Famous Donor Becomes Tainted
    Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership 2019, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 85–106 https://doi.org/10.18666/JNEL-2019-V9-I1-8390 Teaching Case Study Controversial “Conversations” Analyzing a Museum Director’s Strategic Alternatives When a Famous Donor Becomes Tainted Jennifer Rinella Katie Fischer Clune Tracy Blasdel Rockhurst University Abstract This teaching case places students in the role of Dr. Johnnetta Cole, director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art, as she determines how to respond to a situation in which Bill Cosby—well-known entertainer, spouse of a museum advisory board member, donor, and lender of a significant number of important pieces of art on display at the Museum—has been charged with sexual misconduct. Representing the Museum, the director must weigh the cost of appearing to support her friends the Cosbys against the value of displaying one of the world’s largest private collections of African American art. This case extends stakeholder theory by utilizing Dunn’s (2010) three-factor model for applying stakeholder theory to a tainted donor situation. Keywords: arts administration; philanthropy; stakeholder theory; crisis communication; nonprofit leadership; tainted donor; ethical decision making Jennifer Rinella is an assistant professor of management and director of the nonprofit leadership program, Helzberg School of Management, Rockhurst University. Katie Fischer Clune is an associate professor of communication, College of Business, Influence, and Information Analysis, Rockhurst University. She is also director of the university’s Honors Program. Tracy Blasdel is an assistant professor of management and marketing, Helzberg School of Management, Rockhurst University. Please send author correspondence to [email protected] • 85 • 86 • Rinella, Clune, Blasdel This teaching case offers an opportunity for students and practitioners to apply an important theoretical model for decision making to a real-life situation involving a tainted donor.
