Double Lives and its accompanying catalog, organized by Richard Boyle, was exactly what we had envisioned for several decades. I was particularly pleased with our collaboration with the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Milwaukee Art Museum resulting in The Eight and American Modernisms. Dr. Elizabeth Kennedy of the Terra Foundation proved an outstanding curator for this entire project, enlisting a team of authorities, each contributing a defi nitive essay on the artists of the group. Finally, the Christopher Hyland survey of photography, mainly from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, was an ideal complement to the glass and painting exhibitions.

The full listing of the NEW/NOW artists and the shows mounted in the Davis Gallery can be found in the Exhibitions section of this report. Each addressed specifi c areas of American art. Noteworthy was the survey of bags by Judith Leiber, a fi rst for the Museum, as we generally do not mount decorative arts exhibitions. My particular favorite was the display of the Rita K. Heimann collection as each object was of singular importance and beauty.
