s the following reports reveal, in spite of the fact that the past year was, for the staff and our supporters, one of excited anticipation during construction of our new wing and remodeling of the old one, the museum maintained its presence in the community by continuing its programs and even by developing new ones. While we moved lock, stock and barrel, literally in the last case, to a north campus location and packed and sent away the collection, we made careful plans to continue to serve our community. Thus, as you will see as you read this report, we presented lectures, films, special events, and exhibitions at locations elsewhere in Athens or even across the country at sister museums. The staff and I are particularly grateful, in fact, to our colleagues at the Lyndon House Art Center, who welcomed our docents, our educators, our patrons and donors, and even our curators with open arms. In a true spirit of collaboration, we joined together to present exceptional programs to their audiences and ours. As for the temporary offices, we continued acquiring works of art, cataloguing them and interpreting them especially through publications that disseminated scholarship, literally, throughout the world. Without belaboring what you will read yourself in what follows, I do want to mention one such project that came to fruition during this period and of which I am particularly proud. With the publication of the Corpus of Early Italian Paintings in North American Public Collections: The South, the Georgia Museum of Art, with the help of Perri Lee Roberts, our writer, and Cynthia Payne, our perspicacious and dedicated copyeditor, concluded more than twenty years of study and research on our own Kress Collection and the context from which it found its way to Athens, Georgia. In so doing, we have added immeasurably to the knowledge of thirteenth-to-fifteenth-century Italian art, and of that I am immoderately proud.

A n n u a l Construction FY10 was a year of construction. At the very beginning of it, in July 2009, the registrars and preparators finished packing, shipping and storing the collection in an off-site facility for the duration of construction, to ensure its safety while the building was being worked on. Construction began in earnest shortly thereafter, with Holder Construction Company of Atlanta serving as construction manager and setting up its offices in the former Figgie’s café space of the museum. Weekly reports on construction appeared on GMOA’s blog, Curator’s Corner (www. gmoa.blogspot.com) for the duration of the project, along with photographs of the progress, and a webcam with a live feed was installed in August to show the building going up day by day. Security remained on-site and regularly supplied photos of the interior for museum patrons and staff to see. At the end of June 2009, bulldozers began grading the area that would become the Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden. In July, Holder terraced the excavated area, broke up the asphalt of the staff parking lot to aid in installing the back wall and water feature of the garden, excavated eight large boulders, and placed the wooden forms to pour the concrete for the base of the expansion. They cleared the site for the storage bar being added on the north side of the building, did termite control for the foundation, brought in utility piping, installed dust and noise control measures for demolition, began demolition on the existing staircase between the first and second floors, installed storm piping and manholes, and began to put down the gravel and asphalt base for the building area. Despite much rain, construction continually stayed on schedule, due to hard work and long hours by the crews. In August, Holder installed asphalt and poured concrete columns for the parking area under the new wing, which made use of the light wells that also supply natural illumination to some galleries, completed the foundations of the new galleries, completed the erection of most of the structural steel and decking (which went up quickly), and completed most of the demolition necessary on all three floors of the existing building.

Throughout the project, Holder collected materials such as wood, concrete, steel, other metals, and drywall for recycling so that LEED certification could be obtained. In September, Holder installed roof joists and decking as well as structural steel support for the skylights, poured concrete for retaining walls, worked on relocating existing site utilities, formed the signage wall on the side of the building facing East Campus Road, began construction of the exterior masonry walls, began to break through the wall on the exterior of the existing building where it would connect to the new wing, removed the ceiling in the Virginia and Alfred Kennedy and Philip Henry Alston Jr. Galleries, and completed surveys of the existing security systems. There was a lot of construction going on in the East Campus area while GMOA was expanding, such as the building of a new parking deck a stone’s throw from the museum, the remodeling of the Performing and Visual Arts Complex (PVAC) quad, and the construction of a new building for the ceramics program. In October, Holder completed demolition of the wall between the wings, worked on cold-water piping, completed structural studs, began to erect structural steel at the connector, started framing on the roof and skylights, began preparation for gallery framing, and improved the site erosion control. Staff visited the site regularly, on tours arranged by Annelies Mondi, deputy director, and took many photos. In November, Holder poured the slab for the new galleries, installed spray insulation and fireproofing, poured the footings and retaining walls for the storage bar, completed the erection of structural steel at the connector, installed sheathing for the exterior gallery walls, began to install the vapor barrier on the roof, and installed storm drainage in the sculpture garden. At the end of the calendar year, in December, Holder installed skylights in the new wing, completed the roof’s vapor barrier, began installing the exterior limestone façade, started installation of the fire sprinkler system in the parking area, placed the air handling units, began demolition of the old entrance on the east side of the building (facing the PVAC quad), removed the carpet from the third-floor offices, completed all concrete foundations and retaining

walls, worked on drainage and waterproofing, installed a crane-access road to the storage bar area, and erected structural steel for that addition. Crews worked through the holidays, completing much work on the building. In January, Holder began to install brick on the exterior of the addition, continued with the installation of limestone, poured the base for the firstfloor connector and began construction of the curtain wall there, performed water tests on the gallery skylights, built the connector’s roof, poured the slab for the storage bar and completed the waterproofing and vapor barrier there, completed many interior walls, and finished them with drywall. At this point, much of the exterior work, excepting the continued installation of limestone and brick on the façade, was complete, but work continued inside, with the installation and mudding of much drywall, installation of gallery ceilings, and priming and painting in the old section of the building in February. In March, Holder installed glass in the connector between the old and new sections of the building and at the overlook in the new wing, from which you can see the Lamar Dodd School of Art, backfilled walls in the sculpture garden, began the layout and digging of a bioretention pond (part of the LEED certification), framed and hung interior


Georgia Museum of Art walls in the storage bar, completed the interior walls in the new galleries, turned on the HVAC units in the expansion, and made excellent progress on the east entry. In April, Holder began installing electrical boxes in the new galleries, started excavation for the cistern that will capture water for reuse, completed new windows and sunshades on the south side of the third floor, finished the ceilings and painted the walls in the connector and the old wing, installed irrigation mains and built up soils in the sculpture garden and began to install both wood flooring in the galleries and terrazzo flooring in the connector. In May, Holder began millwork and installing shelving, completed the revisions on the east entrance, poured stairs and ramps in the sculpture garden, sanded and finished the wood flooring in the galleries, completed excavation for the cistern, and worked on installing planting beds in the sculpture garden. In June 2010, the last month of FY10, Holder continued finishing, such as protecting the wood floors, installing terrazzo tile, painting walls, installing a window opening on the third floor, installing the first-floor lobby ceiling, bringing in millwork and shelving, installing doors and hardware, putting down linoleum in the catering kitchen. They also installed the stairs between the first and second floors and worked on adding trellises in the sculpture garden on the curtain wall of the connector, handrails throughout the building, and sidewalks. Construction updates continued into early FY11, but the majority of the building was completed in FY10.

Deputy Director Annelies Mondi’s regular duties consist of assisting the director with day-to-day and long range planning for the museum related to exhibitions and collections, budget development, building operations, and personnel. In addition, in FY10, Mondi continued to serve as the primary liaison with the architects and builders for the museum’s Phase II construction project and managed construction activities, collection packing and storage, and all other aspects of the project. She was responsible for the prioritization of all programming decisions as well as making recommendations to the architects as to what construction priorities should be pursued. As part of this large task, she met biweekly with the architects (Gluckman Mayner Architects of New York, Stanley Beaman and Sears of Atlanta [the architects of record in the state], and the Office of University Architects), as well as with Holder Construction and numerous subcontractors and craftsmen who worked on the building. She was also intimately involved with the building’s LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), a common standard of measurement that rates buildings in six different categories of environmental impact. She also managed access to the construction site and, whenever safe to do so, gave numerous tours of the building to staff members, the board of the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art, the Collectors, major donors, and many other groups. Mondi was the spokesperson for the project and communicated regularly to various boards, donors, and the public. Donor stewardship being one of her many regular duties, Mondi was closely involved in identifying naming opportunities within the Phase II project and overseeing the design and application of the graphics package for the building.

These tasks were in addition to her regular duties in reviewing contracts and commitments for exhibitions and major gifts on local, national and international levels. Mondi was instrumental in the negotiating the acquisition of the large outdoor sculpture Ascension, by Beverly Pepper, and worked with Dale Lanzone, Pepper’s representative and dealer, and the Office of University Architects on the siting for the installation of this work in the PVAC quad. She represented the museum and university at the commemoration of Jane Willson’s generosity to the arts and the fortieth anniversary celebration of UGA’s Cortona program in Italy in July 2009. Mondi also attended the dedication of the sculpture Galileo’s Wedge by Beverly Pepper at the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the opening of an exhibition of works by Pepper at Marlborough/Chelsea Gallery in New York, where she also met with artist Anthony Goicolea, who is creating a work of installation art for the reopened GMOA. As it has been in previous years, work was ongoing with regard to a collections database, a process in which Mondi continued to participate. She worked with guest curator Ashley Callahan on an exhibition of works by local furniture maker Gene Thomas (to be mounted in early 2012) and with Barbara Houze, the daughter of the late potter Earl McCutcheon, to identify appropriate repositories for her father’s collection of ceramics and other works of art.

Development Many foundations, corporations, government agencies, and individuals supported the museum’s programs through grants and gifts in FY10. The W. Newton Morris Charitable Foundation provided support for every area of the museum’s programming. Since 1998, the foundation has made possible hundreds of exhibitions, publications, educational programs, and acquisitions. The Audrey Love Charitable Foundation continued its support in FY10 with a grant for acquisitions. Other private foundations supported the museum and programs such as “Just My Imagination,” the museum’s statewide

outreach program, which was funded by a grant from the Turner Family Foundation in memory of Nancy Cooper Turner. The Henry Luce Foundation, through its Program in American Art, awarded a major grant in support of Art Interrupted: Advancing American Art and the Politics of Cultural Diplomacy. The exhibition is co-organized by the Georgia Museum of Art, the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University, and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, University of Oklahoma. It will tour nationally, accompanied by a scholarly catalogue and extensive educational programming. Heyward Allen Motor Company continued its longtime support of Family Days. Additional corporate support came from, among others, Stanley Beaman Sears, Exxon Mobile foundation, and R.E.M./Athens, LLC, which provided funding in support of Lord Love You: Works by R. A. Miller from the Mullis Collection, an exhibition on view at Lyndon House Arts Center during fall 2009. Target Stores awarded a grant in support of the newly developed Georgia History Teaching Trunk and Robert S. Brunk Auction Services of Asheville, North Carolina, was a sponsor of the Fifth Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts. Support from state and federal agencies included a General Operating Support award from the Georgia Council for the Arts and special funding from the Georgia Humanities Council for the keynote speaker at the Green Symposium. The National Endowment for the Arts awarded the museum a Recovery Act Award of $50,000 to support a parttime curator of decorative arts for two years. This position is among those that have been reduced or left unfilled due to the university’s reduction in state appropriations. As a recent recipient of NEA funding, GMOA was eligible to apply for the competitive stimulus grant. GMOA also received major funding from the endowment’s American Masterpieces: Visual Arts Touring program for Art Interrupted. Individuals remain the museum’s most important source of support. Hundreds of annual financial gifts, large and small, enable GMOA to maintain its level of excellence and serve a broad public. Phase II is a reality because of 340+ individual donors. Activities, from staff


Georgia Museum of Art to acquisitions to programs) are funded by endowments established by our patrons. Among private contributions in FY10 were Lucy and Buddy Allen’s support of Fifth-Grade Tours. The Allens were honored with the 2010 Patrons of the Year award by the Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries. The museum’s supporters have remained loyal during the economic downturn of the past two years. Though private gifts to GMOA in FY10 decreased, Phase II pledge payments have remained on schedule. In the absence of a development director, Betty Alice Fowler has continued to handle many of the duties of that position, especially with regard to donor relations, major gift solicitation, and signage for named spaces in Phase II. She acted as head of the department, which includes the Friends staff, the museum shop manager, and the special events coordinator. Fowler assisted the director in a wide variety of matters pertaining to major gifts, donor relations, correspondence, and other projects. She planned and/or assisted with a number of social events and, on occasion, served as host to special visitors to the museum.

Friends of the Museum Events GMOA on the Move Because of the Georgia Museum of Art’s closure for Phase II construction, FY10 was like none other for the Friends of the Museum. Throughout the year, all Friends’ events and activities were held in locations other than the Georgia Museum of Art. In order to keep interest in the museum alive, the Friends created “The Art Of” series of special events, which celebrated art in its many forms. Each “Art Of” event was held in a unique environment and focused on a different type of art. On July 21, 2009, the Friends presented The Art of: Cinema at the Ciné art house cinema in downtown Athens. Guests enjoyed a lecture entitled “How to Watch a Film” presented by Dr. Richard Neupert of the UGA department of theatre and film studies. The evening included a reception catered by Classic City Chef. After the lecture, attendees were able to utilize their new film-viewing skills and see one of Ciné’s two cinematic offerings that evening. Forty-eight people attended the event. The Friends of the Museum were honored to host the opening reception for Lord Love You: Works by R. A. Miller from the Mullis Collection at the Lyndon House Arts Center on August 16, 2009. This was the last opening reception for a Georgia Museum of Art exhibition to be held until the museum’s reopening in 2011. The air was festive, with music provided by Dale Wechsler and Noel Blackmon and a lavish barbecue-themed reception catered by Classic City Chef. The event was very well attended, drawing more than two hundred visitors. On October 20, 2009, the Friends hosted The Art of: Music in the Athens studio of Stan Mullins, an artist and supporter of the museum. The venue, a renovated cottonseed warehouse, offered a dramatic setting for a performance by Art Rosenbaum, celebrated artist and professor in the Lamar Dodd School of Art. Rosenbaum, who won a Grammy Award in 2008 for his field recordings, is locally known as an accomplished

Georgia Museum of Art musician, specializing in old-time American and Irish music. During the event, Rosenbaum performed several selections, both alone and with other musicians. The evening attracted almost one hundred attendees. The twenty-sixth Alfred Heber Holbrook Memorial Lecture was held on November 4, 2009, in the UGA Chapel on North Campus. The provocative lecture, delivered by Francis M. Naumann of New York, was entitled “Marcel Duchamp and Jeff Koons: An Exercise in Circular Reasoning.” Afterward, guests enjoyed a reception in the UGA Visual Arts building; fifty-two people attended the event. On February 6, 2010, the Friends hosted Speakeasy, our primary fundraiser for this year. This event, chaired by former Friends’ board member John Knowlton, was hosted by GMOA patron C. L. Morehead Jr. in his home. Upon arrival, guests enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and tours of Mr. Morehead’s art collection led by docents and curators of the Georgia Museum of Art. An exclusive silent auction of eleven items, assembled by Anna Dyer and Ann Scoggins, was a popular diversion throughout the event and inspired significant bidding. Later in the evening the group retired to Mr. Morehead’s basement, which had been transformed into a 1920s-inspired speakeasy and lounge. A jazz performance was provided by the Atlanta musical group Faith, and the most festive aspect

of the evening was the signature cocktail, named in honor of our host: The “C.L.tini.” The evening was considered a great success by everyone who attended: the event drew more than one hundred people and netted $6,300 for the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art. On February 24, 2010, the Friends presented A Soulful Celebration in honor of Black History Month. Chaired by past president Paige Carmichael, the evening began with a patrons’ dinner attended by eighty people and held at the Visual Arts Building. During dinner, guests were able to experience an exhibition of works by three local African American artists: Harold Rittenberry, John Ahee, and Yvonne Studevan. During the dinner the Friends honored Dr. and Mrs. Louis Castenell for their work in the name of diversity on the University of Georgia campus. After dinner, guests attended a performance in the UGA Chapel provided by the Athens Ebenezer West Baptist Church choir, who donated their time and services for GMOA’s Black History Month celebration. The performance was attended by almost two hundred people. On March 16, 2010, the Friends continued their successful “Art of” events with The Art of: Brew at Terrapin Beer Company, an Athens microbrewery that has gained a national reputation. A sequel to the previous year’s event of the same name, The Art of: Brew included music from the Athens A-Train Band, tours of the beer-making process, and samples of

the company’s famous product; eightytwo people were in attendance. On April 17, 2010, the Friends offered The Art of: Preservation at the ca. 1829 Langston-Daniel House in Crawford, Georgia. Home to Brick House Studio, an art gallery that showcases the work of local artists, the venue for the event was provided by owner Lamar Wood. The afternoon, which focused on the ongoing restoration and preservation of the house, included tours led by Tim Walsh, a professor in the UGA master’s of historic preservation program. Old-time music was performed by Dale Wechsler, and the reception was arranged by event chair Kathleen Ragan. Attended by more than eighty people, The Art of: Preservation was publicized among the members of the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation, Athens’s leading historicpreservation organization. On May 14, 2010, the Friends held their annual meeting at the Lamar Dodd School of Art. The evening began with a hardhat tour of the museum, which provided the Friends their first glimpse of the interior of the new building. After reviewing the year’s accomplishments, Dr. Eiland presented the 2010 M. Smith Griffith Volunteer of the Year Award, which is nominated by the GMOA staff and given to a volunteer who has gone above and beyond the call of duty for the museum. The recipient of the 2010 M. Smith Griffith Volunteer of the Year award was Karen Benson, current president of the Friends. The last Friends’ event of the fiscal year was The Art of: Style at the Ashford Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn in Watkinsville. GMOA’s curator of decorative arts, Dale Couch, led guests through the Ashford Manor and discussed interior design, inspiration, and the creative process; during the event, owners Dave Shearon and Mario Castro told of their experiences decorating the house. The event was attended by thirtyfive people. T h e C o l l ect o r s On September 10, 2009, the Collectors viewed the collection assembled by Athens resident Valerie Aldridge and her late husband, former GMOA curator of paintings Donald Keyes. The extensive and diverse collection includes works of


A n n u a l photography, paintings, decorative arts, and folk art. Highlights of the collection include photographs by artists such as Walker Evans and Alfred Stieglitz, as well as many works by local artists including Jack Kehoe, Peter Loose, and Rinne Allen. The evening’s reception was catered by The National; forty-seven people attended. Attended by almost eighty people, the Collectors’ holiday party was hosted by Lisa and Jim Fiscus at their home in Athens on December 15, 2009. Their collection focuses primarily on French and American decorative arts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; works of fine art include paintings by local artists Rinne Allen, Margie Spalding, and Lamar Wood. On February 25, 2010, the Collectors enjoyed a day trip to Atlanta to view two private collections. The day began with a morning visit to the home of Scottie and Chris Schoen, whose collection includes extensive murals painted by Athos Menaboni, as well as works by a wide range of American artists including Winslow Homer, Andy Warhol, and Norman Rockwell. After a luncheon at Atlanta’s Blue Ridge Grill donated by owner Susan DeRose, the Collectors visited the home of Linda and Stephen Sessler, whose collection includes works by several important American painters such as William James Glackens, Stuart Davis, Allen Tucker, Robert Henri, Ernest Lawson, and John Marin. The Collectors last activity of the year was a hardhat tour of the new museum on April 10, 2010. Led by Dr. Eiland, the tour enabled the Collectors to understand better the scope of the construction and the magnificence of the completed museum. Eighteen Collectors participated in the tour.

Museum Shop The past year has been a challenging one for the Museum Shop. Aside from the economic crisis that continues to be the bane of so many cultural institutions, this has also been its only full year of being closed to the public. The shop has taken up the challenge and looked for different ways to make its items accessible to patrons. The web shop has continued to operate, offering 24-hour access to museum publications and a wide selection

R e p o r t

of gifts. This online marketplace will remain after the reopening, providing a convenient shopping alternative for GMOA supporters. The shop has also hosted a few pop-up sales in the lobby of the museum’s temporary offices on South Jackson Street. University visitors, faculty, staff, and students were able to browse shop inventory and make purchases at discounted prices. These sales have gone a long way toward diminishing old stock in order to make room for new items for the museum’s reopening. The shop took its act on the road in October, stocking a booth at the Athens Junior League’s Marketplace. Not only did the booth help many shoppers cross items off their holiday lists, but it upped the museum’s visibility within the Athens community during its closing. The shop hopes to return to Marketplace again this year to boost seasonal sales. This year, shop manager Amy Miller took over all the wholesale orders for our in-house publications. Publications sales for this fiscal year totaled $12,264.74. The shop will continue to fulfill these orders in the coming year, simplifying the process for both wholesale and retail customers. Gross sales for non-wholesale items totaled $14,463.07. As FY11 begins, Miller is busily selecting unique shop items that will ably reflect the artistry of the museum’s new gallery spaces.

Special Events The special events office strives to increase awareness in the community and among university departments regarding the museum’s event rental facilities. The special events office is looking forward to the completion of the museum’s Phase II as an opportunity to offer a unique and sophisticated venue for any occasion. Athens and its surrounding community are quickly learning that the Georgia Museum of Art is an aesthetically pleasing and affordable venue for any special occasion. In keeping with its mission, Georgia Museum of Art hosted a number of events. Fundraising events like Speakeasy allow us to maintain our collection as well as make acquisitions. The “Art of” series serves to educate the community on craft beyond the traditional fine arts. The Collectors have viewed several private

Georgia Museum of Art collections in Athens and Atlanta as well as the Salvador Dalí exhibition at the High Museum. In February, the Friends hosted their annual Black History Month celebration. A planned trip to Nashville in December was canceled due to inclement weather.

Public Relations The public relations activities for the communications department include promoting all exhibitions and programs at the Georgia Museum of Art and establishing the museum’s reputation on both a regional and national level. FY10 would be different from any other. When the museum closed for construction on March 9, 2009, the department created an initiative of offsite events and exhibitions with the help of the Friends of the Museum, education and curatorial departments called GMOA on the Move. Through this initiative the museum was able to stay visible and active in the public eye throughout the first year of closure for construction and renovation. It did prove challenging at times as the museum had to work harder to find venues and coordinate more logistics than the staff was used to, but it also proved fruitful due to the many wonderful partnerships the museum established. The department prepared an entire branded concept for GMOA on the Move that went beyond the normal press releases and press kits. As an element of GMOA on the Move, the department also developed “The Art of:” series detailed elsewhere in this report. As part of the promotions for GMOA on the Move, the department produced a new logo, four GMOA on the Move six-month event calendars, rack cards, invitations, and promotional banners. The department distributed 10,000 copies of the initial calendar and rack cards to media, patrons, and venues throughout Georgia and the country immediately prior to the start of this fiscal year and continued with this distribution level of the calendars. May other fun projects were spawned out the creation of GMOA on the Move that allowed the department to enhance its social media campaign, such as a photo competition hosted on the museum’s Flickr site encouraging museum fans to guess where the GMOA on the Move logo was pictured around Athens.

The department promoted the first major exhibition during GMOA on the Move, Lord Love You: Works by R.A. Miller from the Mullis Collection, which gained the museum a significant amount of press coverage. The department developed printed invitations, releases, and materials promoting education and Friends events including lectures and gallery talks, the Just My Imagination outreach program, Art Adventures, film series devoted to Ingmar Bergman and Latin American films, five “Art of” events, the Lord Love You opening reception, Collectors events, and nine Family Days sponsored by the museum. Outside of the GMOA on the Move, the most significant event promoted by the department this year was the Friends fundraiser Speakeasy. The department worked with volunteer event chairs to develop the event concept, design and print the invitation and corresponding printed materials and promote the event through releases and general promotions. During this time the department produced and distributed more than twenty press releases and 664 blog posts. Museum placements in the past year have included Georgia Travel Guide, Folk Art Society Magazine, Apollo Magazine, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Art Knowledge News and Art Daily. A branding initiative for the overall marketing strategy of the museum was in the beginning stages of development this year. The department conducted market research and surveys of its audiences and the general public to establish the best branding strategy. Work was started on refreshing the museum’s logo, color palette, and stationery. The project will be a long one, but in the end the museum will have a fresh and consistent look and message across all its forms of communication, including the newsletter and website. The department continued to enhance its social media campaigns through interactive contest and communication strategies. In addition, the department became increasingly involved in statewide tourism efforts by attending monthly Historic Heartland Travel Association meetings to network, learn from other local attractions, and develop cooperative marketing opportunities. The museum was also represented with a booth manned by public relations coordinator and


A n n u a l department chair Jenny Williams and shop manager Amy Miller at Georgia on My Mind Day at the Lavonia State Visitor’s Center over the Thanksgiving weekend. The event proved fruitful for targeting regular visitors to the state and spreading general museum awareness. Williams completed her first year of Southeast Tourism Society Marketing College at North Georgia College and State University, a three-year Tourism Marketing Professional certification program.

Publications The department of publications completed four books in FY10 (Corpus of Early Italian Paintings in North American Public Collections: The South, Lord Love You: Works by R. A. Miller from the Mullis Collection, The South in Black and White: The Works of James E. Routh Jr., 1939–1946, and Proceedings from the Fourth Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts: A Colorful Past: Decorative Arts of Georgia) and an issue of the museum’s Bulletin, the first since 2001. The completion of the Corpus was an especially notable achievement, as the three-volume reference work has been an ongoing project for nearly twenty years. Publications due to be published in FY11 but worked on in FY10 are One Hundred American Paintings (a catalogue of the collection) and Tracing Visions (a catalogue of prints and drawings from the permanent collection). The department also continued to produce the museum’s quarterly newsletter at a reduced size due to the museum’s closure for expansion and renovation and to distribute it in a digital version via the website and the weekly MailChimp emails public relations sends out. Wholesale sales were transferred to the shop, and an agreement was reached with the University of Georgia Press for it to serve as distributor for many of the museum’s publications. As a result, the books will appear in databases used by mainstream booksellers and should achieve greater visibility in stores. The department has continued to work closely with the shop on organized sales of used and remaindered books to clear out inventory and raise funds. The department continued to proofread all communications issued by

the museum and to work with public relations, education, development, and the Friends on invitations, programs, and new media initiatives (including the museum’s blog, Curator’s Corner). In addition to supervising its publications interns, it also participated yet again in the Young Dawgs program, run by UGA human resources, which allows high school students in the Athens-Clarke County school district to experience office work on campus. In coordination with the department of public relations, it assisted with the museum’s rebranding effort, due to be completed in time for the reopening in 2011.

Design and Preparation In December, head preparator Todd Rivers provided installation assistance in the final project of Judy McWillie’s undergraduate painting class. The project was an installation piece in which the students wrote words of inspiration on strips of fabric and the surface of the lobby of the Visual Arts Building During UGA’s spring semester, the department participated in the University’s Young Dawgs Program, taking on a high school intern to help him gain experience and knowledge of the workplace. Michael Stevens, then a high school senior, assisted with matting and framing and installation work. At the end of his internship he organized and hung an exhibition of his photography. In January, the department assisted the president’s office with the packing and relocation of art at the President’s Mansion to an off-site storage facility in preparation for renovation work on the house. In April, Larry Forte began building crates in anticipation of the museum’s revamped traveling exhibition program. The crates will provide versatile shipping arrangements for the museum, as many sizes of stock frames are used in the exhibitions. Together with the registration department, the department attended the first-ever Packing, Art Handling, and Crating Information Network (PACIN) Webinar focusing on object handling and collections moves. Rivers, along with museum employee Mary Koon and UGA student Dara Porter, started a project to create an iPhone app

for the museum. Lanora Pierce worked with the annual Winterville Marigold Festival again. The preparators also collected objects for the collection from various donors and galleries throughout the year.

Security July 1, 2009, began the fourth year of operation for the security department for the museum. The security department has been fortunate in retaining its security staff during this year. It maintains a staff of two supervisors, four guards who work thirty hours a week, and one guard who works twenty hours a week. On November 3, 2008, the museum closed its galleries for the preparation for the beginning of construction of the 30,000-square-foot addition. In March 2009 the staff of the museum moved to the Jackson Street location of the Lamar Dodd School of Art. One supervisor and the five guards also moved to that location for security purposes. One supervisor remained at the museum to supervise the remaining property that was stored in the galleries and vaults. This year corrections were made to the Emergency Manual that was developed last year. The new security system is being installed, which will have a greater coverage of the galleries and other areas of the museum. The department continues to develop a working relationship with the university, UGA Police Department, and local, state and federal emergency responders as time permits.

Curatorial A me r ican A r t Paul Manoguerra, the curator of American art, served GMOA during his eighth full year in the position. The American art department remains an important resource for students, artists, university faculty and staff, scholars, collectors, and the general public. In the past year, the department has continued to serve as a primary focus of the museum’s collections, exhibitions, and programs. Docent Training The curator conducted docent training sessions for the R.A. Miller exhibition at the Lyndon House. The museum’s


Georgia Museum of Art trained volunteers were also introduced to tour techniques and issues, and gained knowledge to allow them to lead tours of the museum and its exhibitions more effectively.

Available at http://www.uga.edu/ gamuseum/visit/podguides.html P ie r r e Da u r a C ente r Lynn Boland continued on in his first full year as Pierre Daura Curator of European Art. The Pierre Daura Center initiates and promotes the exhibition and study of the works of Pierre Daura and the contextualization of his oeuvre and career. The Daura Curator directs the center as well as the museum’s programming in European art: research, exhibitions, publications, and acquisitions. Primary among the curator’s responsibilities is the study of the life and work of Pierre Daura. Spring semester, Boland served as adjunct faculty for the Lamar Dodd School of Art (LDSOA), teaching Twentieth-Century European Art: PostImpressionism to WWII (ARHI 3065). Other presentations by Boland included “Growing Athens Thru the Arts,” a panel discussion sponsored by the Athens Federation of Neighborhoods, September 14, 2010; “Modern and Contemporary Forms of Patronage,” a guest presentation for Judith McWillie’s “Thinkenstein” seminar, January 15, 2010; “Careers in Art History,” a panel discussion sponsored by LDSOA’s Art History Society, February 18, 2010; and “Picasso and Einstein in Context,” a “talk-back” following Town and Gown Players’ production of Steve Martin’s play Picasso at the Lapin Agile, April 10, 2010. The Daura Center’s major ongoing projects include the development of a finding aid for the Pierre Daura Archive, a collection of more than sixty linear feet of materials that provides significant insights into modern art. The finding aid will be produced as both a printed publication and as an online resource, which will be accessible through the University of Georgia Library’s website. Even before the finding aid has been made available, the Daura Center has had two scholars visit to study documents in the archive. Laura Karp Lugo visited in February from the

12

Sorbonne in Paris, to undertake research for her thesis, which focuses on Catalan artists working in France in the early twentieth century. In May, Catherine Dossin, a professor of art history at Purdue University, came to study materials related to Daura’s involvement in the Cercle et Carré group (1929–30, Paris), part of her research for a catalogue essay for the exhibition Cercle et Carré and the International Spirit of Abstract Art, scheduled for fall 2012, and another of the Center’s major ongoing projects. In March, we bade farewell to Deirdre Conneely, associate curator in the Daura Center, who, newly married, moved to Boston. In May, we welcomed Laura Rhicard as administrative assistant to the Center. Thanks to the continuing generosity of the Pierre Daura Foundation, a third paid position was added to the Center: Samantha Cole started in May as the first Daura Center graduate intern. Dec o r ati v e A r ts From July 1, 2009, until November 1, 2009, the department of decorative arts did not have active staff. Dale Couch began a twoyear appointment as adjunct curator on a half-time basis beginning in November. This report focuses on the activity of the department during this time. The Collection Over the past year, the decorative arts collection has grown, with many significant acquisitions made through gifts or with gifts of purchase funds. A notable accession is the Savannah River Valley table acquired through the generous sponsorship of Rowland and Letitia Radford. Adding significantly to the museum’s works in the early Piedmont Federal style, the piece is made of river birch (a native wood, Betula nigra) and is inlaid with complex geometry. Its form denotes a relationship with earlier Chesapeake formal furniture, and it conveys the importance of subregional transference in style in the formulation of lower Southern Piedmont culture. Couch is arranging its conservation. Other notable items have been acquired as well. David and Linda Chesnut donated a very fine sampler created in Decatur County. This object dates to around 1830 and represents the


A n n u a l first item in the collection from that region of Georgia. It is also the first Georgia sampler to enter the permanent collection, with the purchase of a second from Washington County planned. Samplers represent the finest needlework accomplished by women in this state and have significant links to female literacy and refinement, both important areas for further research. Sally Hawkins has pledged the gift of an important piece of silver, presented in the 1870s to a young woman in Macon, Georgia, for her musical abilities. In the neo-Grecque style, this example of post-bellum Georgiaassociated silver is an important indicator of the revitalization of the state’s economy during and immediately after the Reconstruction Era. Peggy Galis gave the museum a very important miniature portrait of Augustine Clayton, an early trustee of the University of Georgia. This work of art is the equal in artistic quality of any object made in the settlement era of the Georgia Piedmont. It is attributable to Picot de Clovire, a French artist who worked in the backcountry of Georgia during the earliest years of the nineteenth century. Edgar and Betty Myrtle gave two unusually well-preserved coin silver spoons of an advanced quality and datable to the second quarter of the nineteenth century. This gift strengthens GMOA holdings of silver flatware and will help make it possible to arrange an exhibition of the evolution of tableware. Mr. and Mrs. Levon Register donated an important silver water dipper engraved with a presentation to the notable Howell Cobb, a prominent Georgia political and legal figure of the early nineteenth century. LaTrelle Brewster donated a mid-nineteenth-century door from the LeQuin Plantation in Henry County. This door is ornamentally painted with fanciful motives and is a rare survival of early paint decoration. Very fine examples of mid-nineteenth-century silver in the Northeast were donated by Mr. and Mrs. Greg F. Holcomb. These items descended in the Ives family (of Currier and Ives) and include two master salts with cast stag head handles as well as a chalice. Lucy Rowland donated a coconut and coin silver–trimmed water dipper from Ivanhoe plantation. This highly documented historical object was the subject of a diary entry by a

member of the Whitehead/Rowland family. It was looted by a Federal Soldier during the Civil War but returned by his commanding officer. She also donated silver objects made by Charles Rowland who studied under Athens’s noted metalsmith Ann Orr. Alice Rowland donated the oldest southern quilt to enter our collection. It was executed around 1815 in the Catawba River Valley of North Carolina and migrated to Georgia. Noted textilist Kathy Staples provided a pro-bono assessment of this object and described it as one of a group of chintz quilts from that area and this period. Remarkably, it survives with its original chintz sizing, indicating it has never been washed. June Johnston donated two “pine-straw” baskets, one of which is signed by a Mrs. Cole of Gainesville. Another donation was a pine-straw basket from South Carolina as well as a Cherokee honeysuckle basket, the latter notable in that the plant is not indigenous to the region and is considered an invasive. By adapting to this new material, the Cherokee weaver demonstrated that his or her culture was evolving to meet changing conditions. The museum has received promises of a number of other gifts to its collection, including examples of vernacular furniture, pottery, baskets and miniature paintings. Couch has strategically arranged for the long-term loans of objects filling gaps within our collection. Chairman of the board of advisors Carl Mullis has been especially generous in developing a loan of his pottery acquired selectively with the needs of the museum in mind. Mr. and Mrs. Roger Bregenzer agreed to continue the loan of a very significant painted blanket chest to remain in the museum’s collection for study, exhibition and teaching. These loans make it possible for the department to meet its goals while developing its permanent collection. Exhibitions During the period of this report, the department sponsored no exhibitions due to the fact that the museum was closed for expansion and renovation, but Couch organized an exhibition of chairs at the Madison Morgan Cultural Center, in connection with the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, to be mounted in October 2010 (FY11).

A n n u a l Teaching and Outreach Couch has addressed a number of groups and participated in several training sessions or presentations since joining the staff. He has assisted with docent-training activities and presented to the board of advisors. He gave a guided tour of Ashford Manor as part of The Art of: Style and provided consultation for local museums including the BrumbyWaddell House and the T. R. R. Cobb House. Couch is a member of the advisory board of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. He provided research advice to one UGA graduate student in history and nine undergraduate students working on projects of material culture. He has supervised one student this summer who is interning for course credit and has designed a project for her to use newspaper research to elucidate material life in Athens around 1830. Her research has produced several reference files that will be made available to local museums. The Symposium In January of 2010, the Georgia Museum of Art sponsored the Fifth Henry D. Green Symposium for the Decorative Arts. This symposium, held at the Georgia Center and attended by more than 300 people, is the largest and best known of its type in our region. It is the second most attended decorative arts event on the east coast. Numerous cultural organizations send staff and representatives to the symposium, a measure of its growing prominence in the fields of decorative arts and material culture. The museum released a publication of the proceedings of the fourth symposium and maintained an active presence at the symposium with the Museum Shop. The symposium has received widespread acclaim as both an academic and financial success. The net amount of proceeds remaining from this event is largely sufficient to publish its proceedings. Sponsors of the Fifth Henry D. Green Symposium Dr. Larry H. and Mrs. Linda N. Beard LaTrelle Brewster Robert S. Brunk Auction Services Ed and Phoebe Forio The family of William and

Green CENTER for the Study of the Decorative Arts The Green Center files and library holdings are largely packed up and awaiting reinstallation at the museum facility this autumn. Due to economic circumstances, the Green Center Library Endowment fund has been frozen, and purchases with its funds cannot be made at the moment. The Green Center has received a number of gifts during this period, including French publications on the decorative arts, gifts of rare volumes concerning Georgia portraiture and Georgia artists, and exhibition catalogues from other institutions. Couch and head preparator Todd Rivers visited a collection in Sparta, Georgia, and obtained photographs of more than 130 handmade chairs. This collection represents the largest and most comprehensive of its type; the photographs will add significantly to the archival component of the Green Center and will expand Green Center research resources for folklorists, material culturalists, and decorative arts historians. The Decorative Arts Advisory Committee The Decorative Arts Advisory Committee (DAAC) continues to be a major component in the growing success of the Green Center. Not only have its members given money, art and social support to the decorative arts department, but they have also had a broad influence on the museum in general. Peggy Galis and other

members of the DAAC helped obtain an anonymous donor to purchase the Billups portraits from the landmark Griffin sale. Members have given objects, funds, and in-kind gifts of entertainment related to events such as the symposium. As a slate of distinguished collectors and community leaders, they provide direction and identify resources for the decorative arts program to meet its mission. The committee met in Macon in June for two days to conduct business, visit institutions and private collections, and add new members. Carey Pickard and Claire McCommon Smith were instrumental in providing entertainment and organizing the event. The present members of the committee are listed at the end of this report, with other governing and advising bodies.

Exhibitions The South in Black and White: The Works of James E. Routh Jr., 1939–1946 July 20–October 2, 2009 Robert C. Williams Paper Museum Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Ga.

James E. Routh Jr. was born in New Orleans in 1918 but grew up in Atlanta. He graduated from Oglethorpe College, now Oglethorpe University, and then studied at the Art Students League in New York. This landmark exhibition of Routh’s work contained prints and drawings of images gathered on his travels throughout the South during the Depression. Endowed with a Rosenwald fellowship, Routh planned to gather information for a series of prints, stating that he wanted to “paint a number of pictures concerned simply with scenes of everyday life in the South.” From 1940 to 1941, Routh traveled through Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana making sketches from which he later created prints and paintings. Routh retired in 1983 to Waynesville, North Carolina, where he lives today. Guest Curator: Stephen Goldfarb Sponsors: BNY Mellon Wealth Management, D. Jack Sawyer Jr. and William E.

Georgia Museum of Art Lord Love You: Works by R. A. Miller from the Mullis Collection Lyndon House Arts Center, Athens, GA August 8–October 24, 2009

Spurred by the construction of a new wing and renovation of its present space, the Georgia Museum of Art embarked on a two-year series of offsite events and exhibitions called “GMOA on the Move” in spring 2009. Although the museum closed its doors for the expansion, local and national facilities opened theirs to assist us in educating and entertaining the public. The museum continued to organize various Family Days, films, and workshops at participating Athens sites such as the Lamar Dodd School of Art and the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. Prior to the museum’s closing for construction, the staff held a series of meetings with Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services staff and the staff at the Lyndon House Arts Center to discuss possibilities for collaboration. The staff of the Lyndon House chose the Lord Love You exhibition idea, conceived by Dr. Manoguerra, as the project on which they wished to collaborate. Unofficially, as an idea, Lord Love You originated in the museum’s relationship with collector Carl Mullis; both the museum and Mullis are interested in presenting self-taught art as contemporary American art. As a former local art celebrity, Miller was the perfect artist to have his work presented in the community’s public art space. Lord Love You was not only a wonderful exhibition in its own right, but it also enabled the museum to maintain a crucial community presence during

the temporary closure of its building, reaching out to elementary school students, seniors and many more in a way that would have been unachievable otherwise with the museum closed. Its focus on R. A. Miller, an artist identified overwhelmingly with Georgia, and its reconciliation of populist and scholarly approaches added something invaluable to the state’s artistic heritage. Lord Love You: Works by R. A. Miller from the Mullis Collection, drawn entirely from the private collection of Carl and Marian Mullis, presented many of Miller’s best-known themes—God, country, popular culture, and animals— plus some art highlighting his social and religious commentary. The exhibition featured paintings, drawings, sculptures, and whirligigs created by the Georgia self-taught artist, Reuben Aaron “R. A.” Miller. Born in Rabbittown, just outside of Gainesville, Georgia, Miller resided in a tiny frame house, built with the scraps of a family home ruined by a tornado in 1936. Following decades working in a cotton mill and as an itinerant Free Will Baptist preacher, he began making art full-time in the late 1970s and early 1980s. By the time the rock group R.E.M. and filmmaker James Herbert used Miller’s home as the setting for the “Left of Reckoning” video, Miller had created dozens of whirligigs, angels, and crosses to decorate the hill near his home. Miller’s work did meet with some mainstream art and museum success during his lifetime. His art was featured in exhibitions including Outside the Mainstream: Folk Art in Our Time (1988) at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and Passionate Visions of the American South (1993–94) at the New Orleans Museum of Art in Louisiana. His American Flag was chosen, along with works by Al Hirschfeld, Peter Max, and Jamie Wyeth, to decorate the special patriotic covers of a post-September 11, 2001, issue of TV Guide. Thanks to collectors like Carl Mullis, to international publications like Raw Vision, and to the inclusion of work in the permanent collections of museums like the Georgia Museum of Art and the High Museum of Art, Miller has emerged as an important figure among the South’s self-taught artists and in understanding contemporary art in the twentieth century. The staff of the Georgia Museum of Art elected to make use of as much

16

of the Lyndon House’s atrium gallery space as possible, including hanging objects from the ceiling and in between the atrium’s columns opposite gallery walls. The staff also decided to position many of the three-dimensional objects, especially the whirligigs, in between the columns. Museum preparators fashioned object-specific mounts and pedestals for the whirligigs to be exhibited so that they approximated their height as once displayed outside Miller’s home in Gainesville, Georgia. Curator: Paul Manoguerra Sponsors: Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art

In addition to these full-scale exhibitions, the museum also organized several smaller-scale informal displays of work in the Visual Arts Building, where its offices have been during construction. These were:

Staff Infection October 5–November 20, 2009

Staff Infection consisted of work produced entirely by the staff of GMOA. Organized by Lynn Boland, Pierre Daura Curator of European Art, and Deirdre Conneely, associate curator, the exhibition included works by: Craig H. Brown, watercolor and pencil on paper; Hillary Brown, acrylic yarn; Larry Forte, oil on canvas; Tricia Miller, digital photography; Lanora Pierce, oil on board; Todd Rivers, letterpress print on paper; Sarina Rousso, watercolor and pencil on paper; and Jenny Williams, linoleum block print on paper.

Treading December 4, 2009–January 25, 2010

This installation by Lamar Dodd School of Art professor Judith McWillie’s aqueous media class featured writing on the walls, glass, and more of the gallery area.

The Art of the Georgia Review January 29–April 29, 2010

When most people think of the Georgia Review, the award-winning quarterly journal published at the University of Georgia since 1947, they think of poetry, fiction and book reviews, all areas in which the magazine has been traditionally strong. This informal exhibition aimed to show in a small space


A n n u a l

R e p o r t

some of the breadth of visual art the Review has published. Tearsheets from the journal were framed alongside two large screen prints by John Sokol that depict the authors Virginia Woolf and Samuel Beckett as made out of their own words. Other artists whose pages from the Review were on display included filmmaker and former UGA instructor James Herbert, oil painter Terry Rowlett, mixed-media artist Thomas Allen (who cuts out popup scenes from the covers of old books, then photographs them), and painters Margaret Morrison and Gaela Erwin.

University of Georgia Turns 225 March 19–April 30, 2010

Celebrating the University of Georgia’s 225th anniversary, the exhibition displayed visual art that reflected both the history and the current state of UGA and its campus life. Works on display included paintings by Lamar Dodd, the founder of the university’s art school, such as The Arch (1939) and North Campus, as well as works by such other notable artists as George Cooke, Charles Frederick Naegle, and Howard Thomas.

Department of Education The department of education at the Georgia Museum of Art served the university, the community and the state of Georgia with many academic and outreach programs during FY10. Cecelia Hinton, curator of education, and Carissa DiCindio, associate curator of education, planned, coordinated and supervised all aspects of educational programming. Jenny Beene Gunn, curatorial assistant, left the museum in July, and her position was not replaced due to budget cuts at the university. The department relied heavily on the valuable assistance of docents, graduate students, student interns, artists, specialists, and volunteers. Programming was both challenging and exciting this year while the museum was closed for construction. In preparation for the opening of the museum next year, Hinton and DiCindio have been reorganizing existing programs and revising materials. Mutually beneficial partnerships with other university and community organizations made it possible for programs to continue during this year. Programs and attendance are listed following this summary.

Educational Programs A r t A d v ent u r es Through Art Adventures, 809 people at community centers and day camps in Clarke and surrounding counties participated in our summer program. Erin McIntosh was the coordinator, and Sarah Quinn, Lindsay Rowan, and Jessica Wohl were instructors. Programs are scheduled in the mornings and afternoons and take place either at other venues, which include summer camps, community centers, and parks in AthensClarke County and surrounding areas. This year, although groups could not visit the museum, they learned about works from our collection. Each session included an introduction about the museum and an art activity. This year’s theme was folk art. Art Adventures takes place over two fiscal years; planning and programming for mid-June and July 2010 took place this fiscal year and will be reported in the next. Lindsey Rowan coordinated the program for summer 2010, and Sarah Karp, Brian Hitselberger, and Erin McIntosh served as instructors. The theme is printmaking.

D o cent E d u cati o n By leading tours for visitors each year, docents play an integral role in carrying out the museum’s educational mission. Docents undergo in-depth training in interactive teaching techniques and spend many hours studying and preparing to give tours to groups of all ages. Barbara Laughlin and Chris Mitts served second terms as co-presidents of the docent corps; Jean Petrovs, our “e-scribe,” continued as head of the communications committee. Ruthann Walton served as secretary/treasurer. Many activities were planned throughout the year. Docents attended educational sessions with Paul Manoguerra, curator of American art, and gave tours of the museum’s exhibition Lord Love You: Works by R. A. Miller from the Mullis Collection. While the exhibition was on view at the Lyndon House Arts Center, we held other events there, as mentioned later in this report. The docent book study group met throughout the year in private homes and discussion continues to be educational, interesting and lively. A roster of docents and a syllabus of the program are included in this report.


Georgia Museum of Art Fami l y Day s Nine family events were held this year, with attendance totaling more than 1,180. In place of Family Day in October, the museum participated in the Fall Festival at the Lyndon House. The museum’s entry in the scarecrow contest was a large manikin based on one of the works by R. A. Miller in the exhibition. Family Day themes and programs are listed below in the summary of programs. Family Days were held at other venues including the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, and the Lyndon House Arts Center. Under DiCindio’s guidance, Family Days have become important programs serving a diverse and international audience. Volunteers for Family Days included interns and other students from the university. Fi l m S e r ies Films were sponsored by the UGA Parents and Families Association. Janice Simon, Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Associate Professor in Art, Lamar Dodd School of Art, introduced a series of films by Ingmar Bergman in the summer. For fall, four films were featured in the annual Latin American Film Series, which was cosponsored by the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute (LASCI) and held in conjunction with Hispanic Heritage Month. Documentary films were shown and introduced by professors, graduate students and quests of LASCI. In the spring, we sponsored a screening of Who Does She Think She Is? during Women’s History Month, followed by a panel discussion by three professors of the Lamar Dodd School of Art. I nte r n P r o g r am The education department is responsible for student interns and orientation programs each semester. Carissa DiCindio coordinated the program and worked with university students. Jennifer Mayer, intern in communications, received the Louis T. Griffith Student of the Year Award at the annual reception held in Mr. Griffith’s honor. J u st M y I maginati o n This program serves people throughout the state of Georgia, and workshops are available for all ages. Artists travel to libraries and community centers for programs. Sometimes JMI provides the

only exposure to an organized program on art for many of the attendees. This program is sponsored by the Turner Family Foundation. Lect u r es an d G a l l e r y Ta l k s The museum hosted lectures and gallery talks, including the Alfred H. Holbrook Memorial Lecture and the Willson Center and GMOA Annual Lecture, cosponsored by the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts. Lectures by curators and guest speakers were held in support of the exhibition Lord Love You. In the spring, a lecture was held to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the signing of the charter for the University of Georgia S c h o o l P r o g r ams For the fifth year, all fifth-grade classes in the Clarke County school district visited the museum. Mr. and Mrs. B. Heyward Allen Jr. provided funding for transportation for all thirteen elementary schools, which include twenty-five fifth-grade classes. Teaching packets for school tours incorporated instructional material for teachers, performance learning standards and curriculum guides for Georgia, and activities for each grade K–12. S eni o r O u t r eac h P r o g r am Dr. Diane Barret prepared a three-part program for older adults at community centers and assisted-living homes in Clarke and surrounding counties. In addition to bringing groups to see the exhibition, either Barret or instructor Toni Carlucci visited each of the venues twice. The program consisted of slide presentations, interviews, and participation in a project relating to the paintings of R. A. Miller. S u itcase T o u r s Docents visited local elementary schools and presented “Mr. Holbrook’s Suitcase Tour” for grades K–3. Docents are planning additional tours based on the collection and working this year on “Art of the Cameroon” based on objects in the collection of C. L. Morehead Jr. Students at the University of Georgia are involved in all of our programs. In addition to assisting as interns and volunteers, students attend lectures, films, discussions, and other programs.

Registration Department Personnel In January 2010 Heidi Snyder resigned her half-time position. Due to budgetary constraints, Snyder’s position has not been filled. Therefore, for half of FY10, the registration department has been operating with only three full-time employees and expects to remain at this reduced staffing level well into FY11. When the budget situation improves, the fourth registrar position will be posted, filled, and eventually return to full time.

Collections Management The registrars department coordinates ongoing collections management tasks such as updating and organizing artist, object, and exhibition information; assessing collections storage and updating storage facilities and techniques; assessing conservation needs and obtaining treatment for loaned works and works in the permanent collection; acquiring technical and other equipment needed for proper handling, storage, and tracking of the collection; working with visitors interested in viewing GMOA’s collections; responding to inquiries and correspondence from students, professors, museum professionals and the general public regarding the museum collections and installations; tracking of nonaccessioned objects; and updating policies and internal forms.

Phase II Along with the preparators, the registrars vacated the museum building on July 21, 2009, after having packed approximately 11,000 objects into approximately 350 containers (boxes, pallets, crates, traveling frames) and shipped them to long-term storage. Since that time the registrars have managed the status of the collection in long-term storage, tracking locations of objects, adding new acquisitions to storage, and receiving and condition reporting traveling exhibitions in storage after they have completed their tours. Tricia Miller, head registrar, has assisted

the deputy director, Annelies Mondi, in the selection of new equipment for art storage in the renovated building and the design of the new registrars office suite. Miller, Christy Sinksen, and Sarina Rousso all participated in a day-long retreat discussing the upcoming opening of the new museum building and the planning for that opening. The registrars department is currently preparing for moving both their offices and the collection back into the new building, including working with the curators and preparators on what objects will be installed in the permanent collection galleries and contracts and other logistics for the temporary exhibitions.

Acquisitions During FY09, the registration department accessioned 199 new objects into the collection. This group includes 33 threedimensional objects (sculpture, Asian or African objects, or folk art), 9 paintings, 34 decorative arts objects, and 123 works on paper (including photographs). Miller and Sinksen participated on the Collections Committee, and all of the registrars executed preliminary cataloguing for new accessions. The preliminary cataloguing process includes correspondence with donors, dealers, and appraisers, condition reporting, applying accession numbers, assigning permanent locations, tracking the cataloguing process on a shared Excel spreadsheet, compiling curatorial files and typing curatorial sheets, data entry in the AIMS collections database, and working closely with the curatorial staff to obtain complete cataloguing information. Due to the construction of Phase II new acquisitions were quickly taken to off-site storage and the registrars were therefore able to perform only a portion of the usual preliminary cataloguing procedures. Normal cataloguing will resume when they have access to the collection after construction; thus, the registrars and the curators will have a significant amount of backlogged cataloguing to follow

25

up on once the collection is back in the new building. A list of FY10 acquisitions appears in this report.

Deaccessioning Due to the construction of Phase II, no deaccessioning activities took place in FY10.

Extended Loans The registration department currently manages 3,525 extended loans, including 1,949 objects owned by the University of Georgia Foundation. Of the works owned by the Foundation, 1,332 are works belonging to the estate of Lamar Dodd. Twelve new extended loans were added this fiscal year and the registrars department is in negotiations with nine other lenders regarding extended loans. Miller and Snyder processed incoming extended loans. A portion of the 128 paintings from the exhibition Coming Home: American Paintings, 1930–1950, from the Schoen Collection remain at GMOA as an extended loan. Many were returned to Jason Schoen upon his request because access to the works is limited during the construction of Phase II. In addition, GMOA is currently storing the 152 works on paper from the Schoen collection that make up the exhibition The American Scene on Paper: Prints and Drawings from the Schoen Collection. The Gibbes Museum of Art showed a selection of works from this exhibition December 19, 2008–March 22, 2009; The Columbus Museum (Georgia) showed the full traveling exhibition July 12–September 20, 2009; and the Georgia Museum of Art will show the entire collection of the Schoen works on paper among its inaugural exhibitions when the museum reopens on January 30, 2011. Tricia Miller continues to work with Schoen to manage his collection while it resides at GMOA. During FY10, forty-six of Schoen’s objects were loaned out or remained on loan to the following exhibitions:

Georgia Institute of Technology July 20–October 2, 2009.

Art on Campus The Art on Campus database remains a useful tool for tracking reported changes in the inventory and for responding to inquiries from the public regarding works in the University of Georgia’s campus collections. To date, 97 departments have reported 2,320 objects. Posting the Art on Campus Blue Book on the web and finding easier and more efficient ways to conduct this survey both remain goals. The Georgia Museum of Art no longer lends works of art from its collection to campus departments or units except for the Provost’s and President’s Offices. However, a number of “grandfathered” campus loans remain at certain units and will be recalled when deemed appropriate. The Georgia Museum of Art currently has seventyseven permanent collection works on loan to campus departments. This number includes fifteen works from the Estate of Lamar Dodd, which prescribed that the works be placed in campus buildings. Sinksen is responsible for assisting and advising departments or units with issues regarding art on campus. She also maintains a list of departments that have requested to be placed on a waiting list for the placement of works of art in their department or unit. There are presently twenty-one departments on this list.

Property Control Inventory

In addition to extended loans to the collection, the registration department coordinated the storage of objects for several upcoming exhibitions or while the exhibitions waited to travel: • I mprinting the South: Works on Paper from the Collection of Lynn Barstis Williams and Stephen J. Goldfarb: 107 works on paper stored at the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum, University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The exhibition was on view at the Hilliard September 19, 2009–January 2, 2010. • The South in Black and White: The Graphic Works of James E. Routh Jr., 1939–1946: GMOA stored 51 works. The exhibition was on view at the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum,

Sinksen serves as the museum’s liaison with the university’s Office of Property Control, which she updates by sending periodic lists of the museum’s new acquisitions, receiving in return Property Control inventory numbers assigned to new acquisitions, which are subsequently entered into the museum’s collections database and filed. In addition, she conducted the annual spot-check art inventory mandated by Property Control and reported the results to that office. At the request of this office, Sinksen also began an additional comprehensive inventory of 7,981 collections objects identified by the Property Control database. This substantial inventory is currently ongoing and is to be completed by the close of FY11.


Georgia Museum of Art Photography and Rights to Reproduction Requests Sarina Rousso coordinates the ongoing photography of works in GMOA’s collection; however, because the permanent collection has been packed and stored during the construction of Phase II, no works were photographed in FY10. Also, no photographs of exhibition installations were taken during this fiscal year. Due to the construction of Phase II, the registrars implemented a moratorium on requests for new photography of the permanent collection in FY10. Requests for existing photography were facilitated as normal. This task includes responding to emails and phone calls from institutions, both non-profit organizations and commercial publishers, seeking rental privileges and rights for the reproduction of images in GMOA’s permanent collection. This year, Rousso handled seventeen photography and rights to reproduction inquiries and requests, nine of which generated $805 in fees. She received two completed projects and publications containing reproductions of two works from the permanent collection. While working with these photography requests and inquiries, Rousso has kept abreast of current laws and issues related to copyright, and worked to keep the museum’s list of artists for which GMOA does not own copyright up to date.

Conservation Before her departure, Heidi Snyder helped coordinate and track object conservation. In FY10, conservation work was completed on twenty-eight objects from the permanent collection. Of those, twenty-three were objects conserved after the damage from the HVAC incident reported in FY09. In addition, eight objects were examined by conservators, but no conservation performed. Snyder assisted with the deliveries and pickups of conserved works and updated the conservation lists and curatorial files for each object conserved or assessed. Miller coordinated conservation activities after Snyder’s resignation.

Digitizing The registration department, with the assistance of the museum’s grant writer, Betty Alice Fowler, applied for an IMLS Museums for America grant to fund the purchase and implementation of new “off-the-shelf” collections database software with a public, searchable online interface. In conjunction with Mondi, they obtained proposals from several companies and determined a cost estimate for the most optimal system for the museum. They expect to hear the results of the application in July 2010. Should the funding be granted by IMLS, much of FY11 will be dedicated to the implementation of the new database. Should the grant not be awarded, seeking a new funding source for a new collections database will be a top priority for the registrars department in FY11. During FY10, Rousso scanned more than a thousand existing images from color photography (4 x 5–inch transparencies and 35 mm slides) of works in the permanent collection. Currently, this bank of high-resolution images serves the staff for departmental work. Eventually these images will be used in a new online collections database.

Exhibitions Management The registration department coordinated five exhibitions in FY10. Due to the construction of Phase II, GMOA partnered with several other museums to show exhibitions at their venues. All five exhibitions were organized by in-house staff. Coordination of exhibitions includes correspondence with lenders, reviewing and negotiating contracts and loan agreements, reviewing or submitting facilities reports, working with insurance issues, incoming and outgoing shipping

As the outgoing loan coordinator for the museum, much of Sinksen’s work is concerned with the management of loans of individual objects and complete exhibitions to other institutions. The number of venues requesting outgoing loans has decreased this fiscal year compared to last year due to the loan moratorium imposed in February 2008. The moratorium, effective for all new outgoing loan requests for periods occurring from November 2008 to February 2011, is necessitated by the museum’s Phase II expansion

conjunction with the museum’s grand reopening in 2011. The committee, chaired by Sinksen and composed of the curators, deputy director, head registrar, and chief preparator, has engaged in considered discussion to determine which exhibitions to maintain within the program, which exhibition concepts to retain with the addition of a redeveloped checklist, and which to retire to enable the introduction of new exhibitions specially created by the curators. All twelve of the resulting exhibitions will be enhanced with extended label/ wall text, educational packets and programming, a PR package and publication, traveling crates, and shop merchandise, as the museum’s funds permit. The exhibitions’ rental fees will be raised commensurately, with the same dual-pricing structure that affords a substantial discount to Georgia borrowers. At this writing, the committee has compiled a proposed slate of traveling exhibitions, which is awaiting approval from the executive director. Following approval of the slate, the museum’s communications, education, and shop departments will join the existing committee members in beginning work on their components of the exhibitions.

construction and renovation project, due to be completed in January 2011. While income is realized from the loan program, it is not considered the primary objective of the program. The fees set for exhibition and object loans are low compared to those of other museums in order to promote a relationship with smaller museums, especially those in Georgia. As an expression of the Georgia Museum of Art’s role as the state museum of art in Georgia, a priority is placed on serving venues within Georgia. However, due to web-based promotion of the traveling exhibitions program, a notable increase in loans outside the Southeast has been achieved. In FY10, the registration department coordinated four exhibition loans at four venues and two future exhibition loans at two venues, bringing in a total of $11,500 in fees. Exhibitions that closed during FY10 attracted 18,431 visitors. A brief survey of statistics gleaned from these reports follows: O u tg o ing I n d i v i d u a l Object L o ans (Current FY and future projects)

The current slate of twelve traveling exhibitions offered by the Georgia Museum of Art has been unchanged since the redesign of the traveling exhibitions brochure in 2001, and several of these exhibitions began touring several years prior. Sinksen, in seeking to mitigate the cumulative rigors of travel and exposure on the most frequently loaned exhibitions, has proposed that the curators revise the slate of traveling exhibitions with the aim of retiring heavily traveled or seldom requested exhibitions and replacing them with fresh offerings. As a result, a newly formed traveling exhibitions committee has been developing a slate of traveling exhibitions for the re-launch of this program in

The museum’s traveling exhibition program has now become a resource formally offered by the University of Georgia’s Archway Partnership, an outreach platform facilitated by the University to deliver a range of higher education resources to address economic and community development within eight Georgia partnership communities. In November, Sinksen gave a presentation on the museum’s traveling exhibition program to a group of community arts leaders as part of a reception hosted by the Archway Partnership at the Lamar Dodd School of Art. She later met with Linda Summerlin, executive director of Arts Clayton of Jonesboro, Georgia, an Archway Partnership Community, and then visited Arts Clayton Gallery in May to make preliminary plans for a traveling exhibition to be hosted at the gallery in spring 2011.

Miller coordinated the following special traveling exhibitions, which were not a part of the museum’s regular traveling exhibition offerings managed by Sinksen: • Imprinting the South: Works on Paper from the Collection of Lynn Barstis Williams and Stephen J. Goldfarb: displayed at the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, LA, September 19, 2009–January 2, 2010 • The American Scene on Paper: Prints and Drawings from the Schoen Collection: displayed at the Columbus Museum, Augusta, GA, July 19–September 27, 2009 • The South in Black and White: The Graphic Works of James E. Routh Jr., 1939– 1946: displayed at the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum, Georgia Institute of Technology, July 20–October 2, 2009. Miller performed preliminary work this fiscal year on the following upcoming exhibitions to be traveled by GMOA. Preliminary work includes securing contracts, condition reporting, and planning for packing and shipment.

In-House and Incoming Exhibitions The registration department has performed the duties associated with ten upcoming in-house and incoming exhibitions. Duties include preliminary correspondence, reviewing and negotiating contracts and loan agreements, submitting a facilities report, resolving insurance issues, making incoming and outgoing shipping arrangements, creating incoming and outgoing condition reports, maintaining exhibition files and updating curatorial files for exhibited works in the museum’s collection. The upcoming exhibitions are: • Tradition Redefined: The Larry and Brenda Thompson Collection of African American Art • The American Scene on Paper: Prints and


Georgia Museum of Art Drawings from the Schoen Collection

• Dalí Illustrates Dante’s Divine Comedy

• The Art of Disegno • Edmund Lewandowski: Precisionism and Beyond • The Art of Hatch Show Prints • Dale Nichols: Transcending Regionalism • Georgia Bellflowers: The Furniture of Henry Eugene Thomas • Cercle et Carré • William H. Johnson: An American Modern

Other Duties All registrars continued to fulfill requests from students, professors, or the general public to study works in the museum’s collection or for assistance with finding conservation, appraisal, or fine arts shipping resources. In January the registration department performed onsite registration for attendees of the Henry D. Green Decorative Arts Symposium, hosted by the museum. The following month, the department assisted the events staff in safeguarding the personal collection at the home of patron C. L. Morehead in preparation for the museum’s Speakeasy fundraiser there. The registrars worked with the museum events staff onsite before the event and returned afterwards to restore the collections objects to their pre-event locations. Rousso maintained and updated the exhibition chronology file for 2002– present and updated the acquisitions list for FY10 and the running acquisitions file. She also continues to update curatorial files and data on the AIMS database, as well as organize the exhibition file folders.
