“An Eye for Opulence: Charleston through the Lens of the Rivers Collection” Saturday, November 21, 2015 to Sunday, January 10, 2016

In the early capitol of the South, Charleston’s citizens enjoyed unprecedented economic prosperity. This wealth, generated in part as a result of enslaved labor, fueled a robust urban community, and the finest goods were sought to define social status among the city’s white population. Charleston’s insatiable appetite for luxury items and the market’s ability to absorb both imports and locally made goods attracted skilled craftsmen from other American cities and Europe.

“An Eye for Opulence” tells the story of Charleston’s golden era—from the colonial to antebellum city—through the lens of the Rivers Collection and enhanced by decorative and fine arts from Charleston’s public institutions.

Featuring more than 100 objects, this exhibition comprises the exceptional holdings of John M. Rivers Jr. in addition to key loans from the Gibbes Museum of Art, Historic Charleston Foundation, and select objects from Drayton Hall and The Charleston Museum. Recognizing that significant examples of Charleston furniture and silver were dispersing outside the Charleston area, John M. Rivers Jr., whose family has been in Charleston continuously since 1670, began forming the Rivers Collection in 1988.

“Bill Cunningham: Façades”

Saturday, January 23, 2016 to Sunday, March 6, 2016 The exhibition is organized by The New-York Historical Society.

Exhibition catalogs will be available for purchase at the gallery reception desk.

In 1968, renowned photographer Bill Cunningham embarked on an eight-year project to document the architectural riches and fashion history of New York City. The project paired models – in particular his muse, fellow photographer Editta Sherman – in period costumes with historic settings.

Approximately 80 original and enlarged images from Cunningham’s whimsical and bold work will be on display to offer a unique perspective on both the city’s distant past and the larger cultural zeitgeist in late 1960s-70s New York City – an era when historic preservation and urban issues loomed large.

By showcasing fashion in the context of architecture, Cunningham traces the evolution of aesthetics from colonialism to the rise of modernism in New York City. The exhibit also will reference architectural drawings from the New-York Historical Society’s collection adjacent to Cunningham’s images.

This exhibition has been organized by The Society of the Four Arts, Palm Beach, Florida.

This exciting exhibition features the inventive and whimsical words of Robert L. Forbes, insightfully illustrated with Ronald Searle’s joyful watercolor illustrations. Rich with color and fanciful detail, the drawings capture the spirit and essence of each poem. The delightful collaboration of these two artists invites the viewer to expand their imagination, creativity and appreciation of words brought further to life with illustration.

“Power & Piety: Spanish Colonial Art” Saturday, March 19, 2016 to Sunday, April 17, 2016 The exhibition is drawn from the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros and is co-organized by the Museum of Biblical Art, New York and Art Services International, Alexandria, Virginia.

Exhibition catalogs will be available for purchase at the gallery reception desk.

A remarkable collection of Spanish Colonial Art will make its exhibition debut at The Society of the Four Arts. “Power & Piety” includes more than 50 paintings, pieces of furniture, gold and silverwork from the Americas in the late 17th to the 19th century, when vast profits from cattle ranching and farming turned Spanish Americans in the Caribbean basin into some of the wealthiest people in the New World. The production and trade of religious art during this period was centered on high-end pieces for churches, the local nobility and wealthy individuals; their fine craftsmanship rivaled that of luxury goods imported from Europe. Concurrently more affordable – and less refined – artworks were produced in large numbers for the homes of people of lesser means.

Through exquisite paintings, sculpture, silver pieces, furniture, and other decorative devotional objects, this exhibition showcases a wide range of artistic production and the finesse of local masters. They benefited from a vast supply of raw materials that included not only precious metals such as gold and silver, but also rare wood varieties with colors and grains of unmatched richness, and unique local pigments. The exhibit offers an exceptional opportunity to learn more about the daily life and religious practices of colonial Latin America and sheds light on the nature of commercial exchange in the region.

Familiar to Four Arts patrons as the Society’s “resident art historian,” Marlene Strauss is a renowned interpreter of art and artists for audiences at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and at such venues as the Art Institute of Chicago and the Boston Museum of Fine Art. She will tell the story of Sterling and Stephen Clark, heirs to the Singer sewing machine fortune, who amassed two of the most important art collections of the 20th century, greatly developing America’s taste for impressionist, postimpressionist, and early modern paintings. The siblings quarreled over the disposition of their inheritance, and their relationship was severed forever.

Each of them, however, would go on to build great individual collections.

Estimated run time: 3 hours 33 minutes Two Intermissions

The Met stage ignites when soprano Kristine Opolais and tenor Jonas Kaufmann join forces in Puccini’s obsessive love story.

Opolais sings the title role of the country girl who transforms herself into a “Manon Lescaut” Parisian temptress, while Kaufmann is the dashing student who desperately woos her. Director Richard Eyre places the action in occupied France in a film noir setting. “Desperate passion” is the phrase Puccini himself used to describe the opera that confirmed his position as the preeminent Italian opera composer of his day. Met principal conductor Fabio Luisi leads the stirring score.

Gaetano Donizetti’s “Roberto Devereux“ (New Production) Estimated run time: 3 hours 30 minutes Two Intermissions

Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky takes on the extraordinary challenge of singing all three of Donizetti’s Tudor queens in the course of a single season, a rare feat made famous by Beverly Sills – and not attempted on a New York stage since.

Estimated run time: 2 hours 10 minutes • No Intermission

The genius director Patrice Chéreau (“From the House of the Dead”) didn’t live to see his great “Elektra” production, previously presented in Aix and Milan, make it to the stage of the Met. But his overpowering vision lives on with soprano Nina Stemme—unmatched today in the heroic female roles of Strauss and Wagner—who portrays Elektra’s primal quest for vengeance. Legendary mezzosoprano Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektra’s fearsome mother, Klytämnestra. Soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and bass Eric Owens are Elektra’s troubled siblings. Chéreau’s musical collaborator, Esa-Pekka Salonen, conducts.

Art aficionados and beginners alike will enjoy this thought-provoking, and surprisingly amusing documentary on the life and times of Wolfgang Beltracchi, a self-taught forger who hoodwinked art dealers and private collectors for more than 40 years.

“A Spy Among Friends: Kim Philby and the Great Betrayal,” by Ben Macintyre

A thrilling page-turner of epic proportions, this bestseller tells the true story of a Jew who transformed himself into a Muslim prince in Nazi Germany.

Lev Nussimbaum escaped the Russian Revolution in a camel caravan and became a real-life Indiana Jones. Reiss pursued Lev’s story across 10 countries and found himself caught up in encounters as dramatic as his subject’s life.

Kim Philby was the greatest spy in history. He rose to head Britain’s counterintelligence during the Cold War. Nobody knew him better than Nicholas Elliott, Philby ’s best friend and fellow officer in MI6. It was madness to think one might be a communist spy, but Philby was secretly betraying his friend, his country and America.

Author Robert L. Forbes

Learn about the wonderful world of animals with the Children’s Library and our guest presenter, Critter Caravan. Preschoolers will enjoy a mini-farm with pigs, chickens, goats, bunnies, and more!

Celebrate spring during a special story time with children’s author Robert L. Forbes in the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden and Pannill Pavilion. Afterward, children age 4 and younger are invited to hunt for thousands of eggs in the sculpture garden. Be sure to bring a basket!

As in previous years, due to the popularity of this event, children will be instructed on the maximum number of eggs they may collect.

This allows all children (walkers, runners, crawlers and the littlest babies) to participate in the program. Following the egg hunt, families have the opportunity to meet Mr. Forbes and purchase signed copies of his books.

The Children’s Library would like to thank Boy Scout Troop 141 for volunteering to hide the Easter eggs.

Afterwards, children learn how to grow a garden with guest presenter, Growums®!

With the help of fun characters, Growums® introduces children to healthy food, promotes agriculture awareness, teaches nurturing skills and helps create a greener world. The program takes place in the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Gardens and Pannill Pavilion.

Note, there will be no arts and crafts activity on this day. In the event of rain this program will be canceled. No buses permitted.
