Boston arts museum unveils new Americas wing

BOSTON (AP) — For years, the Thomas Sully painting of George Washington on the banks of the Delaware River hung in a modern art section in the Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. The masterpiece, depicting Washington’s 1776 crossing during the American Revolution, often got dirty, did not sit in its original frame and typically received curious glances from visitors wondering what the piece was doing there. On Friday, the Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts gave a sneak peak of the 1819 painting’s new home during a preview for museum

members and the media of a new wing of art from the Americas. Museum officials say the new “Art of the Americas Wing” previewed Friday will house more than 5,000 pieces, ranging from preColombian gold to abstract expressionist paintings. It also will allow the MFA to more than double its collection of American work on exhibit, officials said. That allowed for Sully’s “The Passage of the Delaware” to be housed in a new section dedicated for art around the theme of the American Revolution, said conservator Rhona MacBeth.

“Before, this painting was viewed but not really seen since it wasn’t in context,” MacBeth said. “But now it is in a place that has better lighting and grabs your attention as it was intended to do.” In addition, it will be the first time in more than 100 years that the painting and its original frame have been reunited, MacBeth said. A fundraising campaign raised $504 million for new construction and renovations, including $345 million for the 21,000-squarefoot Americas wing. Construction began on the wing five years ago.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comcast Corp. Chief Operating Officer Steve Burke has picked a new executive team that will help him run NBC Universal when Comcast takes over the media giant in the coming months, according to published reports Friday. Burke, who is set to replace outgoing chief executive Jef f Zucker, plans to keep many current executives but is bringing in former Showtime programming chief Bob Greenblatt to oversee entertainment programming at fourth-place broadcaster NBC, according to the reports. Comcast and NBC representatives would not comment on the line-up change, which is said to be announced as soon as next week. It was reported earlier by website TheWrap, The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles

Times. Greenblatt stepped down from Showtime this summer at the end of his contract and is known for bringing it such hit shows as “Weeds” and “Dexter.” Many other key executives are reportedly staying in their posts, including Bonnie Hammer and Lauren Zalaznick divvying up responsibility for such channels as USA, E!, Bravo and the Spanishlanguage broadcaster Telemundo; Dick Ebersol atop NBC Sports; Steve Capus heading NBC News; and Ron Meyer as president of Universal Studios. A role for Jeff Gaspin, currently NBC’s entertainment chair man, was unclear. Comcast, the nation’s largest TV signal provider serving some 23 million subscribers, said in December it would buy a 51 percent stake in NBC

Universal from General Electric Co. for $6.5 billion in cash plus cable channels it owns such as E! and Style valued at $7.25 billion. Federal regulators are still examining the deal for antitrust concerns given the huge presence the combined entity would have in the creation and distribution of entertainment programs over the airwaves and online.

The Art of the Americas Wing will have 53 galleries with nine period rooms and four “Behind the Scenes” galleries. Most of the museum’s artwork from pre-Colombian America sat in storage and rarely was seen, Dorie Reents-Budet, curator of the MFA’s Art of the Ancient Americas, said before the wing opened. For example, the museum’s collection of Mayan burial ur ns from Guatemala rested quietly in crates after the museum received them as a gift in the 1970s, she said.

“They just sat there for years because we had no space for them,” ReentsBudet said. “But now we can enjoy them. It’s one of the best collections of preColombian burial urns in the country.” Until recently, the museum only was able to showcase around 80 pieces of pre-Colombian art at one time, Reents-Budet said. With the new wing, the museum now has two galleries, which include Mayan cocoa cups, Peruvian statues and clothing from Native Americans of the Great Plains.

She said American Indian textiles will rotate out of exhibits every six to nine months. Elsewhere, the new Americas wing will include moder n paintings from Georgia O’Keeffe and photographs by Ansel Adams. It also will house works from Latin American artists, such as Chilean hyperrealist painter Claudio Bravo. The museum will hold exclusive events all next week around the opening of the new wing, which is scheduled to open to the public Nov. 20.
