Friends, Many people deserve credit for all you can see and do at the Eiteljorg Museum, but four merit special recognition.

First, the Eiteljorg would not be the institution it is today without Mel and Joan Perelman, philanthropists who are among the museum’s most generous supporters. As enthusiastic art collectors with exquisite taste, Mel and Joan have traveled the Southwest, seeking out some of the finest Western paintings and Native pottery, baskets and Katsina carvings. Pieces from their collection appeared in our 2004 exhibit, Spirited Connoisseurs. Mel serves on our board of directors; and the museum’s expansion wing, built in 2005 that doubled the size of the building, is named in honor of Mel and Joan.

I have enjoyed so many experiences with Mel and Joan for the past 22 years, but none have been more rewarding than traveling with them on Eagle Society trips.

The Perelmans rarely missed one of these trips, including an adventure trip to Wyoming and Montana when they brought along daughter Wendy and granddaughter Dana for whitewater rafting, horseback riding and canoeing.

Now, the Perelmans once again have exhibited their generosity through their recent donation of 147 Native American baskets of exceptional beauty and creativity.

Our new exhibition, Interwoven: Native American Basketry from the Mel and Joan Perelman Collection, is on view in the Gerald and Dorit Paul Gallery through Aug. 5; and you must experience it. We note with pride that Interwoven also is featured on the cover of Native American Art magazine.

For all they’ve done for the museum, it is only fitting that we honor Mel and Joan with a gala at the Eiteljorg. You are invited to this June 21 celebration of the Perelmans’ accomplishments; please see reservation information at the bottom of this page.

Beautiful museum exhibits don’t happen without outstanding curatorial staff. The Eiteljorg has been fortunate for 17 years to have James Nottage at the helm of our curatorial and collections department as vice president, chief curatorial officer and Gund curator of Western art.

James’ passion for Western paintings and art, vast knowledge of the field and administrative wisdom are

central to the Eiteljorg’s attaining national prominence.

After a 50-year career in museums, James this summer is retiring from full-time duties at the Eiteljorg. We are grateful that he will continue as a consultant leading this fall’s reinstallation of our Western art galleries and curating a future exhibit on Western art and literature of the Saturday Evening Post.

To congratulate James Nottage on his long record of curatorial and scholarly excellence, we would like to invite you to a special reception honoring him Nov. 8. More details are on pages 6 and 7.

Finally, we are fortunate to have dedicated volunteers who work as museum guides.

At a recognition dinner April 19, we honored our 352 volunteers who donated 13,826 service hours in 2017. One deserving of special praise is Jen Anker.

In March, Jen was nominated for the Visit Indy ROSE Awards, which recognize non-management employees and volunteers for exceptional commitment to customer service in the tourism industry. We join her parents, longtime supporters Pat and Bob Anker, in commending Jen for selflessly giving her time and talent to share the museum’s art and programming with visitors.

Favorite artists return and new features enliven the 26th annual Indian Market & Festival

O

ne of the region’s most memorable art and cultural experiences, the Eiteljorg Indian Market and Festival will be celebrated the weekend of June 23-24.

This year will feature lively performances, talented artists, a new Market Morning Breakfast on Saturday morning and much more.

Now in its 26th year, Indian Market and Festival is a fascinating opportunity for visitors to meet artists from more than 50 Native American cultures from across the U.S. and Canada. Seasoned art collectors and first-time market-goers alike will appreciate the personal interactions and wide variety of artwork represented, including jewelry, pottery, basketry, carvings, sculptures, paintings, prints and other fine art.

Held on the beautiful Eiteljorg grounds, Indian Market and Festival features artists’ booths both outside and 2

inside the museum. Cultural experiences are a big part of the weekend, and this year’s live performances include music, dancing and storytelling.

“Visitors often say Indian

Market and Festival broadens their cultural horizons by allowing them and their families to experience Native American art for the first time and meet the exceptional artists,” Eiteljorg

Eiteljorg Museum Storyteller Magazine

President and CEO John Vanausdall said. “Experienced art collectors always enjoy the opportunity to purchase Native art close to home without traveling out West.

Non-collectors bask in the memorable market and festival experience. And returning artists appreciate the Hoosier hospitality and the opportunity to get reacquainted with old friends and meet new collectors and fans.”

After a modest start in 1993, Indian Market and Festival now is considered one of the top Native art markets in the nation. Artists are invited to participate through a juried selection and must be members of a federally or state recognized tribe. Judges award ribbons and cash prizes to winners in multiple divisions.

Each of the past 25 years, a work of art shown at Indian Market was chosen as that year’s signature image, featured

Right: Family Traditions, Dana Warrington (Prairie Band Potawatomi/Menominee) 2017 Eiteljorg Museum Indian Market & Festival, Best of Show, and 2017 Eiteljorg Museum Indian Market & Festival Best of Division, Cultural Items

on commemorative Indian Market T-shirts. For the 26th market, the judging committee this year chose not one but three signature images: Purest of Love by Michelle Lowden (Acoma Pueblo), Tu’utuli by Gabriel Ayala (Pascua Yaqui) and Four Ravens by Gordon Coons (Ojibwa/Ottawa/ Chippewa). Three T-shirt designs depicting the signature images will be available through the Museum Store.

Also new this year is the Market Morning Breakfast, held at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 23, for early birds who want to meet the artists in a more relaxed setting before big crowds arrive.

Reservations are required for the Saturday breakfast; contact mwhistler@eiteljorg.com or 317.275.1316 for details.

For the general public, Indian Market will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, June 23-24.

Adult tickets are $15 at the gate. Advance tickets can

be ordered online for $13 at www.eiteljorg.org or by calling 317.636.WEST (9378). Youth ages 17 and under are free at Indian Market. For Eiteljorg Museum members, free admission to the market is available for the individual named on the membership card, but the admission fee will apply for their non-member adult guests.

Tickets to Indian Market includes museum admission, so plan to take advantage of the air-conditioning, Museum Café, beautiful galleries and special exhibitions The Reel West, Interwoven and Harry Fonseca: The Art of Living.

Parking is available in the White River State Park underground garage while spaces last. Popular food vendors return, and artist demonstrations and art-making opportunities for the entire family will be available both days.

Storyteller Tchin (Narragansett) is an award-winning metalsmith, flute-maker, educator, folklorist, musician and culture-bearer. Through the art of oral tradition, Tchin will share stories passed down through generations.

Entertainer Buddy Big Mountain (Mohawk of Kahnawake Tribe of Canada) is a master puppeteer who blends his own grassroots style of comedy while sharing knowledge of his American Indian heritage.

SPECIAL EVENT PREVIEW

The country’s top Western artists return for another Quest for the West ®

By Bert Beiswanger

T

he Western art world once again will converge on Indianapolis on Sept. 7-8, when one of the top Western art sales in the nation, the annual Quest for the West ® Art Show and Sale, returns to the Eiteljorg.

Quest’s opening weekend festivities draw Western art enthusiasts from all over the country. Many of the artists and collectors consider Quest to be one of their favorite shows due to its unique format and intimate, engaging setting. And what Quest has meant to the Eiteljorg cannot be overstated, as it has generated more than $12 million in art sales since its inaugural year, 2006.

In addition to its prominence nationally, Quest for the West ® is simply one of the finest, if not largest, art sales in Indianapolis and the Midwest.

Whether you’re an avid Western art collector or just beginning your art-collecting journey, Quest is one of the most intriguing shows you can attend.

It all takes place within the beautifully artistic confines of the Eiteljorg Museum in the heart of downtown Indianapolis.

Opening weekend attendees will be the first to see and bid on paintings and sculpture by the country’s most prominent Western artists in a “luck-of-the-draw” sale. What makes the Quest show special is that potential buyers have the chance not only to be among the first to see the art in person, but to meet the artists who created it.

The entire sale is a thrill, start to finish, from the sound of the bugle that

opens the sale to the excited looks on the faces of successful buyers at the end of the evening.

All artwork remains on exhibit at the Eiteljorg until Oct. 7, giving museum visitors the opportunity to see this world-class art. Pieces not sold during opening weekend remain available for purchase until the exhibit closes.

Opening weekend registrants this year will enjoy a Friday lunch and tour at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, a Friday evening reception, and the opening of a special exhibition featuring 2017 Quest Artist of Distinction Howard Post, as well as the return of a Miniature Art Sale.

On Saturday evening during the banquet and awards ceremony, many lucky attendees will win a limited edition 2018 Eiteljorg Keepsake.

To register for opening weekend, contact: Kay Hinds at 317.275.1341 or khinds@eiteljorg.com. You also may register as an absentee buyer.

Preview art and find complete information on Quest at www.quest.eiteljorg.org.

SPONSORED BY:

Miniature Art Sale Returns We heard the pleas of many Quest attendees over the years. Some beginning collectors fell in love with the art they saw but couldn’t afford it, while others with the financial means had no room to add large works to their home. Thus, the Eiteljorg last year instituted a Quest Miniature Art Sale.

Back by popular demand, the miniature sale is Friday night, Sept. 7, where you can purchase smaller pieces of art and take them with you that evening.

Artist Howard Post, right, and his wife Marilyn Post attended the 2017 Quest for the West ® Art Show and Sale at the Eiteljorg, where Howard Post received the 2017 Artist of Distinction award.

Howard Post, 2017 Quest for the West ® Artist of Distinction The Eiteljorg Museum will open a special exhibit featuring the art of Howard Post in conjunction with the 2018 Quest for the West ®. Post won the Artist of Distinction Award at the 2017 Quest, and the exhibit celebrates that honor. For more than 30 years, he has captured his distinctive vision of the West in paint, creating what he refers to as “ranchscapes.”

The exhibit will feature approximately 20 of these works from the past decade of Post’s career. From rugged mountains to dusty cowboys to resting horses to complex corrals, his paintings highlight the interconnectedness of land, animals and people in the American West. They also explore and delight in more abstract concepts such as light, line and color. The exhibit runs Sept. 8–Nov. 25 in the Gerald and Dorit Paul Gallery.

EITELJORG PEOPLE

James Nottage retires after 50 years in Western museums

By Bryan Corbin, Storyteller magazine editor

T

he curator who led the Eiteljorg Museum’s curatorial and collections efforts for the past 17 years is an authentic son of the West. James Nottage grew up in Laramie, Wyoming, and remembers as a small child meeting a turn-of-thelast-century Old West train robber, long since paroled and a larger than life character.

“He had these extraordinary stories about robbing trains and going to prison; and that motivated my young imagination,” James said.

That spark lit the fire of James’ love of the history and heritage of the West, which led ultimately to his 50-year career in museums. Since 2001, James has served as the Eiteljorg’s vice president and chief curatorial officer and as the Gund curator of Western art, history and culture. His management and creative vision led to important acquisitions such as the Helen Cox Kersting and Kenneth “Bud” Adams collections, and to exhibitions such as Guitars and Red/Black.

He has authored and edited many Eiteljorg art publications and closely worked with artists, collectors, donors and scholars.

As he retires from the Eiteljorg in June, James said what has been most motivating throughout his career was the opportunity to work on major projects involving the expansion or creation of museums: at the Kansas Museum of History early on, at the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles at its founding, and then at the Eiteljorg during its 2005 expansion that doubled the size of the museum.

“Being a curator is an opportunity to have some really important privileges,” James 6

said, such as the responsibility to work with important objects and artworks and help people understand them. “It’s the kind of job where you have the opportunity to work with a range of people who can share your passions,” including artists, colleagues and also patrons who support the museum financially or with donations of art. “Of all the places that I’ve worked, the Eiteljorg is rather profoundly successful in relating to all sorts of people,” he said.

Early museum years Knowing from a young age that he would be a museum curator, James discovered the untapped scholarly potential of studying the West professionally. “As I went through early jobs, early college, it was clear that an emphasis on the study of America was always heavily weighted on the East Coast, and there is plenty of room to do things besides Pilgrims,” he said.

He served in state historical institutions in Wyoming and Kansas, earning two master’s degrees along the way. In 1985, James and his wife Mary Ellen were the first employees hired by the new Autry Museum — where he was vice president and founding chief curator, she the vice president of collections. The museum was founded by Gene Autry, the singing cowboy, movie and TV star and baseball team owner.

Through the Autry Museum, James got to know many wellknown entertainers — not only Gene Autry, but Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and Clayton Moore, TV’s Lone Ranger.

“He was hugely personable and very kind. (Moore) always astounded me: I met him the

James Nottage, vice president and chief curatorial officer and Gund curator of Western art, history and culture, is retiring after 17 years at the Eiteljorg, where he managed the museum’s curatorial and collections departments. He is seen here in the museum’s work area with the E.I. Couse painting, The Wedding.

first time and it would have been maybe a year later when I saw him again, and he greeted me by name and asked about my wife by name. He was an extraordinary individual in a lot of ways, so he kind of justified my childhood perceptions of the heroic Lone Ranger,” James recalled.

West in the Midwest The opportunity for James to work on the Eiteljorg’s expansion drew the Nottages from L.A. to Indianapolis in 2001. Among the many exhibitions whose curation he led and managed, James cited Red/Black in 2011 that explored shared histories of Native Americans and AfricanAmericans, focusing on their touching connections. “I think that’s the value of any museum.

It’s not just that you might say, ‘We have a great painting or an object,’ but you can see for yourself and tell the public about how something connects with people’s real lives, whether it’s part of someone’s creativity, or an object that’s very telling about events in people’s lives.”

Retiring as chief curator, James will continue to consult on the Eiteljorg’s Western gallery reinstallation and on a future

exhibit. His wife Mary Ellen is retired executive director of the Indiana Medical History Museum. A music buff and collector, James is learning to play steel guitar, and retirement might afford more time for music and to finish personal book projects. The Nottages plan to remain in the area and attend Eiteljorg events.

James said it’s been rewarding to see the Eiteljorg Museum mature and grow in terms of major acquisitions, educational programming, collections, publications and recognition among scholars and the general public. “There’s plenty of room for future growth.

It’s a young institution with a good soul; it’s great to be a part of that.”

Exciting changes ahead will enhance the public’s enjoyment and appreciation of the Eiteljorg Museum’s two main Western art galleries.

The Art of the American West Gallery and the Gund Gallery, both on the museum’s first floor, are being renovated this summer, and the beautiful paintings, sculptures and other objects seen in them will be reinstalled. Exciting new acquisitions and interactive activities will help convey the history and meaning of the art, allowing visitors to have deeper and more exciting experiences.

Since early May, the two galleries have been temporarily closed. Beginning in early June, a portion of the Art of the American West Gallery will be temporarily reopened so visitors still can experience some of their favorite Western art works on exhibit through early August.

Renovations are timed so that the Art of the American West Gallery can house the 13th annual Quest for the West ® Art Show and Sale, from Sept. 7 to Oct. 7. Once completed, the reinstalled Western galleries will fully reopen to the public in mid-November. Beyond familiar works, new acquisitions will be featured, including compelling works by African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic and Native American artists.

With only a portion of the building under renovation and the rest of the museum open as usual, there still is much for visitors to see and do at the Eiteljorg this summer. The Reel West exhibit about Hollywood Westerns remains open, as are the Native American galleries on the second floor and the R.B. Annis Western Family Experience downstairs. The Museum Store and Museum Café are open for business, and enjoyable programming events are held at the Eiteljorg throughout the summer.

To conveniently plan their visits around the changes, visitors can get the latest updates by checking the Eiteljorg’s social media — Facebook, Twitter and Instagram — or its website, www.eiteljorg.org, or by calling Guest Services at 317.636.WEST (9378).

ART UP CLOSE

Announcing an exciting new acquisition: The Golden Mountain, Arriving San Francisco, 1865

By James H. Nottage, vice president and chief curatorial officer and Gund curator of Western art, history and culture.

C

overed wagons pulled by oxen and moving the essential belongings of hopeful travelers headed toward the setting sun is the common narrative of the 19th century westward movement.

This storyline excludes the immigrant experience of many others who traveled eastward by ship to become undeniable contributors to the building of rail lines, gold mines and elements of commerce from San Francisco to the Black Hills.

Artist Mian Situ (born in Canton, China, 1953) gained his formal art training in China and immigrated to the United States in 1987. Since then, he has become a highly regarded artist, devoting his work to portrayals of his rural native land and to expressing much of the Chinese experience in the American West. The Eiteljorg Museum is proud to announce it has acquired one of Situ’s best-known works and will feature it in the newly redesigned Western galleries that reopen this coming November.

The Golden Mountain, Arriving San Francisco, 1865, is six feet high and 60 inches wide.

In this 2003 painting, Situ has created a composition embracing a family in the center sunlight, the deck of the ship crowded with tired but hopeful individuals seeking opportunities in a land new to them.

When first exhibited at the Autry Museum at its annual Masters of the American West show in 2003, the painting received the Thomas Moran

The Golden Mountain, Arriving San Francisco, 1865, by Mian Situ, oil on canvas, 2003 Museum Purchase with funds provided by the Eiteljorg Museum’s Western Art Society.

Memorial Award for best painting and both the Artists’ Choice and Patrons’ Choice awards recognizing its qualities as a significant accomplishment in the field.

Now the eastward-moving work will find its permanent home in Indianapolis. The painting significantly adds to our growing holdings that help visitors understand the diverse nature of the art, history and cultures of the West.

It did, however, bring up another discussion: beneficiaries on her life insurance policies.

One policy will go towards end-of-life expenses and everything that entails. What to do with some of the other ones is the question. We discussed listing a nonprofit of her choice as an option.

She didn’t realize this was possible.

I explained to her that some of our supporters at the Eiteljorg Museum have done just that. It’s a great way for her money to go towards something she is passionate about.

It can be very empowering for the ones left behind during a time of grieving. Imagine, doing something good and having Mom smiling down upon us as we let the nonprofit know. No discussions, no family arguments, no ill will … just true altruism during a difficult time.

I did suggest, should she choose this option, to let the nonprofit know. Good organizations will want to thank her for her support while she is still living. As they should.

Thank you to the following donors for memberships and gifts received from Dec. 1, 2017 to Mar. 31, 2018 and sponsorships for events and exhibitions through October 2018.

Due to space limitations, only contributions of $100 or more are listed with the exception of annual fund, memorial and honorarium gifts.

If your name is not listed as you would like it to be, or if it has been omitted, please accept our apologies and call 317.275.1311.

Almost successful!

Estate planning meeting prompts important questions s you have probably gathered by now, my mother and I are really close. We finally went together to visit her estate attorney. A friend had recommended a professional, we did a little research and off to the appointment we went.

It’s amazing how much there is to contemplate.

I stayed focused during the meeting as I saw Mom become overwhelmed. There was a lot to discuss. The clock was ticking and billable hours accruing.

“Who will be the beneficiary of Mom’s will?” was top on the list for the attorney. This was not so bad. Who is second and third in line should something happen to beneficiary No. 1 seemed far tougher. Mom let me know I will be the one to follow through when the time comes. “But what if something happens to Nataly before you?” asked the attorney.

Mom didn’t want to think about that. Who does?

We had a good laugh when Mom asked me my opinion and I turned to her and said, “It’s up to you Mom. In this scenario, I’ve kicked the bucket and won’t have to worry about it. You will.” I’m not sure why we found it so funny. It’s such a morbid thought, but we laughed hard enough for tears to flow.

Nothing was definitive by the end of this meeting. I would say, we were almost successful and it did get the ball rolling.
