While in Japan, I was involved as presenter or discussant in several sessions. One of them was devoted to the fundamental nature of the academic museum and its challenges. The organizer of the discussion recalled the words of one of our foremost thinkers about museology, Stephen Weil, when he answered the question “What makes a good museum?” by responding that its characteristics should be purposive, capable, effective and efficient. Those responses gave me pause, and I wondered to what extent the Georgia Museum of Art matched that description. So, I had another look at our strategic plan— somewhat in medias res, as it is a four-year endeavor from 2018 to 2022. I believe we know and strive for our goals and that we certainly have the capable, efficient and effective staff to achieve them, but what we and other academic museums lack is a clear and comprehensive system of metrics to judge our performance against colleague institutions. We already have extra- and in-house evaluations— generally favorable—but part of being “purposive” is, of course, climbing from one plateau to another. To that end, we are re-evaluating the strategic plan to be even more focused on achievement, and at an ever-higher level, i.e., reaching more students and extramural audiences, encouraging and disseminating research, re-evaluating our collections etc.

It is a privilege to meet colleagues from almost every country in the world and to learn about their concerns, issues and professional lives. Currently, it seems everyone in the museum world is debating colonization and restitution, due in part to President Macron’s decision to return African art to the nations from which it was “sourced.” (I hate that word used as a verb. As offensive to the ears as to the mind, it has come to mean the travels of everything from rutabagas to rucksacks.)

As I write these words, I realize they are meant to explain museum practice, illusionary process, if you will, and thus, perhaps, of limited interest to our general audiences due to our internal vocabulary. Important then to add, in closing, is our commitment to presenting exhibitions both of high quality (a maligned word in categorizing theoretical parlance) and of general interest. In other words, we continue to climb the ladder to attainment of excellence rung by rung.

Master, Pupil, Follower: 16th- to 18th-Century Italian Works on Paper December 21, 2019 – March 8, 2020 This exhibition showcases approximately 30 drawings and prints dating from the 16th to the 18th centuries and drawn from the collections of Giuliano Ceseri of Lafayette, Louisiana, the Georgia Museum of Art and the Jeffrey Horvitz Collection. Curators selected drawings and prints to represent specific artistic styles and Italian regional schools. An examination of the drawings has revealed some previously erroneous assumptions. In a few cases, new attributions have resulted; in others, authorship remains unresolved. The museum has produced a fully illustrated exhibition catalogue containing this scholarship and publishing important drawings by Giulio Romano, Claudio Ridolfi, Palma il Giovane and Guercino for the first time. Other artists include Giulio Benso, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Salvatore Rosa and followers of Veronese and Tintoretto.

The Art of Giving:

THE FORWARD ARTS FOUNDATION Started by 12 women who had originally been on the Arts Women’s Committee of the High Museum of Art, the Forward Foundation’s commitment to innovation in philanthropy is evident even in its name, which looks to the future.

Based out of the carriage house of the Edward Inman estate in Atlanta, the foundation started by creating a restaurant, a gift shop and an art gallery, all of which would raise funds to move the arts in Atlanta forward. Its members added an annual flea market and fashion show (both still going strong) and published a cookbook, all more traditionally ladylike pursuits, but they also recognize an emerging artist every year with the Edge Award, named for longtime Forward Arts Foundation member and photographer Betty Edge and her husband Bob Edge. Those artists receive a monetary prize, a residency at Rabun Gap’s Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences and an exhibition in the Swan Coach House Gallery. Past recipients have included Matt Haffner and Lucha Rodriguez (both represented in the museum’s traveling exhibition “Cut & Paste: Works of Paper,” on view at the Museum of Arts and Sciences, Macon, through February 14), as well as Cosmo Whyte, Kellie Romany, Andrew Boatwright and María Korol. Their work isn’t always pretty, but the foundation has supported them wholeheartedly and in keeping with its focus on innovation.

Given its location in Atlanta and its focus on the visual arts, it’s no surprise that the Forward Arts Foundation has given community grants to the High Museum, the Atlanta History Center, the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, Atlanta Celebrates Photography and the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. But why extend its giving to Athens?

Education has been a cornerstone of the foundation’s mission since the very beginning, with its members not only striving to educate themselves, but also giving where they could extend that knowledge and love of learning to others.

What better place could they choose than the oldest publicly owned art museum in the state, at the heart of the birthplace of public higher education in the United States? The Forward Arts Foundation and the museum have shared some members, among them Carolyn Vigtel, Marjorie and Betsy West (BBA ’89), Nena Griffith, Betty Edge, Shannon Candler (BSED ’64), Beverly Green and Elkin Alston, many of whom have been

regular attendees at the Georgia Museum of Art’s biennial Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts. Their presence led them to understand just how important this event is to documenting, researching and spreading knowledge about the history of our state and its artistic production over the centuries. Since 2014, the foundation has been the lead sponsor of the symposium and it is repeating that generous donation this time, as well as sponsoring the exhibition “Material Georgia 1733 – 1900: Two Decades of Scholarship.” That exhibition makes the case that the Green Center has played a transformative role in the perception of Georgia decorative arts, and its accompanying publication will spread that thesis far and wide. In 2015, the Forward Arts Foundation published a book on its history to celebrate half a century of giving to the arts. Its conclusion reads, in part, “For the last fifty years, this majestic tapestry has been enhancing the visual arts community for the enrichment of a very public audience. As with a tapestry on a loom, every thread is unique, yet unmistakably important.” We couldn’t have said it better. We, too, are proud to serve a very public audience through weaving together a dizzying number of threads, and we feel that is what has made this such a wonderful partnership. Here’s to the future!

Since its founding 54 years ago, the Forward Arts Foundation has benefited the arts in Atlanta immeasurably. Thankfully for us, its vision extends outside of the state’s capital and all the way to Georgia’s flagship university. Started by 12 women who had originally been on the Women’s Committee of the High Museum of Art, the Forward Arts Foundation’s commitment to innovation in philanthropy is evident even in its name, which looks to the future.

Meet Jeff Richmond-Moll

Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, the new curator of American art at the Georgia Museum of Art, is a fox, not a hedgehog.

P

hilosopher Isaiah Berlin divided writers and thinkers into those two categories based on the statement of the Greek poet Archilochus: “a fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing.” In other words, hedgehogs focus on one idea over time, while foxes are more interested in synthesizing ideas from a wide variety of fields. Coincidentally, Richard Serra made a sculpture titled “The Hedgehog and the Fox” that sits on the grounds of Princeton University, where Richmond-Moll did his undergraduate study and where he discovered he wanted to work in museums. Born and reared in the Princeton area, Richmond-Moll grew up immersed in American history, particularly that of the Revolutionary War era. He felt drawn to art history after taking his first class on the subject in high school, but he would not fall in love with American art until college, when he enrolled in “American Art after 1900,” taught by renowned art historian John Wilmerding. Like many courses at Princeton, the class took a hands-on approach and included many visits to the Princeton University Art Museum to learn directly from objects. Richmond-Moll had originally considered studying Italian architecture, but the way Wilmerding encouraged students to draw from many different fields of American history was appealing. He mentions one assignment in which Wilmerding asked his students to take a single work of art and write about its historical context by considering a development in American literature, economics, politics, technology, architecture or another field in the same year that the work of art was made. This synthetic, highly interdisciplinary approach was a revelation, he says, and turned his interest permanently toward art history. Time spent in Princeton’s museum as an intern made him see that working in an academic museum was a perfect way to apply that tendency toward making connections among disparate disciplines. He wrote

his senior undergraduate thesis on African American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner’s biblical pictures, an opportunity to examine the intersection of race, politics, religion and art. The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia was planning a large retrospective of Tanner’s work around the time he graduated, and Richmond-Moll applied his newfound expertise to the curatorial field. In addition to digging through archives, he wrote for the catalogue, gallery labels and educational materials, learning how to reach many different audiences with the same trove of material.

He says that an academic museum seemed like the right fit because of its ability to do innovative, cuttingedge scholarship, with objects at one’s fingertips, and that he prefers the kind of groundedness that comes with organizing exhibitions. From PAFA, he moved on to graduate school at the University of Delaware, where he completed his master’s and doctoral degrees. Delaware, like Princeton, had a strong object-based focus to teaching and learning, and Richmond-Moll was now using collections to teach as well as to learn. His location in the Northeast Corridor made it easy to visit museums in New York and Washington, D.C., as well as in his new hometown of Philadelphia. Throughout graduate school, he continued to work on projects at Princeton and PAFA as well as at

the Delaware Art Museum. He says that an academic museum seemed like the right fit because of its ability to do innovative, cutting-edge scholarship, with objects at one’s fingertips, and that he prefers the kind of groundedness that comes with organizing exhibitions. Richmond-Moll says UGA has a lot in common with Princeton, given their classic college town status and large number of proud alumni. He sees challenges here, given our location far from the northeastern media centers, but opportunities as well. The Georgia Museum of Art’s strong collection of American art was one opportunity, given its breadth, depth and historic commitment to the discipline. The array of passionate, committed curators was another, and Richmond-Moll looks forward to working with Dale Couch, Nelda Damiano, Shawnya Harris and Asen Kirin as well as with Callan Steinmann in education. He points out that there are great Americanists on campus and that the museum’s director, William Underwood Eiland, is known as a leader among academic museums and museums in general. He was attracted by the fact that this museum takes publications seriously, publishing an average of four to six books a year, and by the opportunity to contribute to that legacy. Finally, of course, the Athens area is a great place for his family, who have already been regular attendees at the museum’s monthly Family Day program. Richmond-Moll looks forward to putting his stamp on the galleries. This includes a plan to highlight single objects from the museum’s permanent collection by showing them alongside important loans or new documentary evidence, as a way to provide new pathways to unfamiliar or hidden histories. He is eager to involve faculty from across campus even more deeply in the life of the museum and to put into practice those fox-like ideas about how we can look at and interpret great works of art. We can’t wait to see the results.

Our new exhibition, “Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection,” celebrates the sinuous lines and glowing colors popularized by the Art Nouveau movement in which Tiffany played a central role. Inspired by the natural forms of plants and flowers, Art Nouveau sought to break down the walls between fine arts, such as painting and sculpture, and the applied arts of interior design, graphic arts, furniture, glass art, textiles, ceramics, jewelry and metalwork. The Museum Shop is excited to offer a wide range of items which reflect not only the work of Tiffany and his artisans, but the timeless style of this distinct period. 14

1. The Lamps of Louis Comfort Tiffany: $35 2. Dragonfly silver & shell earrings: $40 3. Rose cloche: $85 4. Wisteria blown glass vase: $180 5. Bronze, lapis, carnelian and turquoise ring: $20
