Celebrating Fifty Years of the Hofstra University Museum February 5-March 28, 2013 Emily Lowe Gallery Behind Emily Lowe Hall, South Campus

Curated by Karen T. Albert Associate Director of Exhibitions and Collections Hofstra University Museum Additional funding for this catalog provided by Barbara Roux.

Reflections on the 50th Anniversary 1963 was a year in which the world was in the early throes of Beatlemania and the Rolling Stones were first emerging upon the scene, Lawrence of Arabia was the academy award-winning film of the year, Quasars were discovered and the first liver transplant was performed, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his now famed “I have a dream” speech, and President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas. In the midst of these events, the doors of the Hofstra University Museum opened for the first time.

Fifty years later, the Hofstra University Museum (HUM) now serves as the only American Alliance of Museums (AAM) accredited university fine art museum in the region, serving approximately 2.8 million residents of Long Island with high-caliber original exhibitions and educational programming throughout each year. The HUM has been recognized for its efforts by the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts as well as by the JP Morgan Chase Foundation, the Long Island Community Foundation, and the New York Community Bank Foundation, among other organizations. Students and faculty utilize the extensive permanent collections of approximately 5,000 works of art, dating from 5,000 BCE to the contemporary, as catalysts for discussion and as integral components of their pedagogy and educational experiences. Children in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade have meaningful introductions and extended learning experiences with works of art in the HUM galleries that connect directly to their classroom curricula and enhance 21st-century skills

so vital in our changing and complex world. The Museum’s hallmark community outreach initiative Art Travelers through Time: Literacy and History through Art at the Hofstra University Museum annually provides, through the study of authentic objects from the world’s diverse cultures, to more than 1,000 underserved elementary school students core educational experiences directly connecting to their study of “communities of the world.” Families and adults throughout our region enjoy interactive learning experiences as they discover original works of art from six continents created by famed artists of the past and the present.

The HUM proudly celebrates 50 years of growth and service to our core Hofstra University community, as well as the residents of the New York metropolitan region.

On this occasion, recognition and appreciation is due to Hofstra University’s President, Stuart Rabinowitz, and to Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Herman A. Berliner, as well as the University’s Board of Trustees for their steadfast support of the Museum and their understanding and appreciation for the core academic and cultural role that the HUM has for current and future generations of students, scholars and the public.

The Museum’s collections have seen significant growth through the years, starting with early gifts of art and ephemera from trustees, alumni and faculty prior to the 1950s that provided the corpus of the HUM collections.

Gifts such as a mid-19th century marble and bronze bust by the French artist Paul-François Berthoud gifted by Mrs. W. Halsted VanderPoel (her husband served as a member of the HU Board of Trustees from 1951 to 1958) provide an early example of such generosity. In 1964 Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Rittmaster gifted the HUM Paul

Integral to the academic mission of Hofstra University, the Hofstra University Museum advances knowledge and understanding through experiences with authentic works of art from the world’s diverse cultures. The Museum’s mission is achieved through collection acquisition and preservation, exhibitions and interpretive resources.

Gauguin’s Portrait of a Woman (1881-1882). Subsequent gifts by art donors and other generous patrons include paintings and works on paper by artists such as Benny Andrews, Karl Appel, Jean Arp, Leonard Baskin, Romare Bearden, Stan Brodsky, Jean Cocteau, Currier and Ives, Salvador Dali, Sonia Delauney, Yonia Fain, Conrad Felixmüller, Robert Indiana, Charles Dana Gibson, George Grosz, Johan Barthold Jongkind, Ellsworth Kelly, Jacob Lawrence, Roy Lichtenstein, Alfred Maurer, Kenneth Hayes Miller, Joan Mitchell, Burton Morris, Lowell Nesbitt, Jane Peterson, Robert Rauschenberg, Ad Reinhardt, Larry Rivers, Norman Rockwell, James Rosenquist, George Rouault, Stanley Twardowicz, Andy Warhol, Max Weber, Tom Wesselman and Benjamin West.

Through the decades, sculptural works have also been added to the collections either through gift or commission with the most recent outdoor sculpture, Frederick Douglass Circle, created by artist Vinnie Bagwell, currently situated in the plaza outside of Monroe Hall on South Campus. This 2008 sculpture was the meaningful result of President Rabinowitz’s diversity awareness initiative, which led to an international Person of Color Sculpture Competition. Vinnie Bagwell’s work was selected by the students and faculty of the University as best representing the spirit of this initiative. Other works that have added to the prestige and depth of the outdoor sculpture collection include works by Mihail Chemiakin, Dan Devine, David Jacobs, Paul Jenkins, William King, Ibram Lassaw, Seymour Lipton, Paul Manship, Henry Moore, Tony Rosenthal, John Safer, Jason Seley, Rhoda Sherbell and Greg Wyatt.

One of the unique aspects of the HUM collections is its significant holdings of works from the world’s diverse cultures such as nations throughout Africa, Asia, as well as Oceania, along with pre-Columbian era works. Gifts by donors, including Mrs. Joseph (Dolce) Baird, Robert Dall, Maurice Deane, Walter Fillin, Professor James Gaboda, Dr. Milton M. Gardner, Dr. and Mrs. Gilbert and Rhoda Graham, Dr. and Mrs. Pascal James Imperato, Florence

Kaufman, Abby Kenigsberg, Dr. William M. Lannik, Mr. and Mrs. Sol Levitt, Gerald Light, David Mack, Anne Mallouk, Mr. and Mrs. Cedric H. Marks, Professor Joseph Masheck, Jerry and Emily Spiegel, Lillian Schloss, and Howard L. and Muriel Weingrow have greatly enriched this and other aspects of the collections.

The HUM has an extensive print collection of more than 2,000 works in aquatint, engraving, etching, lithograph, mezzotint, screenprint and woodcut that provide educational opportunities through the study of works by artists such as John Taylor Arms, Peggy Bacon, Will Barnet, Thomas Hart Benton, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Louisa Chase, Chuck Close, Jim Dine, Don Eddy, Max Ernst, Philip Evergood, Helen Frankenthaler, April Gornik, Red Grooms, William Gropper, Jasper Johns, Robert Indiana, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Lee Krasner, Yashuo Kuniyoshi, Louis Lozowick, Robert Matta, Mary Miss, Robert Motherwell, Thomas Nast, Ad Reinhardt, Alison Saar, Ben Shahn, Moses Soyer, Raphael Soyer, Theodore Stamos, Frank Stella, Harry Sternberg, Rufino Tamayo, Mark Tobey and Jack Youngerman.

In recent years, a collecting priority has been photography with donors such as Steven and Susan Ball, George Stephanopoulos and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts generously contributing gifts by artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Marilyn Bridges, Lucien Clergue, Elliot Erwitt, Andres Feininger, Donna Ferrato, Sally Gall, Ralph Gibson, Danny Lyon, Mary Ellen Mark, Joel Meyerowitz, Patrick Nagatani, Gilles Peress, Eliot Porter, Michael A. Smith, and Andy Warhol to a collection that already included works by Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Harry Callahan, Imogene Cunningham, Walker Evans, Larry Fink, Gordon Parks, August Sander, Jerry Uelsmann, Edward Weston and Garry Winogrand.

In the current exhibition, 50/50: Celebrating Fifty Years of the Hofstra University Museum, the focus is on recent works acquired by the Museum between 2006 and the

present. This time period mirrors my tenure as executive director, marked by a restructuring of the Museum – placing an emphasis on its educational role within the University and throughout the community – as well as the development of its new mission and strategic initiatives, the refinement of the permanent collections, reaccreditation by AAM, along with a heightened commitment to original exhibitions that feature the extensive and culturally diverse resources of the permanent collections.

The HUM begins its next 50 years with the following new mission, “Integral to the academic mission of Hofstra University, the Hofstra University Museum advances knowledge and understanding through experiences with authentic works of art from the world’s diverse cultures.

The Museum’s mission is achieved through collection acquisition and preservation, exhibitions and interpretive resources.” As we look to the future, the HUM will continue to initiate and facilitate rich and varied cultural and artistic explorations in an atmosphere that promotes the open exchange of ideas. To help achieve our mission and vision, we have been most fortunate to have the support of administrators, alumni, artists, educators, faculty, friends, funders and students, along with the broader community. We thank our volunteers and student staff members for their numerous contributions to the success and growth of the HUM. We thank those individuals who have gifted works of art to the Museum. Their acts of philanthropy and generosity will impact the cultural and educational life of our University and region for generations to come.

50/50: Celebrating Fifty Years of the Hofstra University Museum owes particular thanks to the following artists and art donors who have enriched numerous aspects of the collection during the past seven years: Eric Alterman, Steven and Susan Ball, Ralph Baroccas, Stan Brodsky, Lillian Dodson, Yonia Fain, Laurie Fendrich, Douglas Hilson, Dr. and Mrs. Pascal James Imperato, Sharon Jacques, Judith A. Jedlicka, Susana Lannik, Burton Morris, Howardena Pindell, Peter Plagens, David Resnick, Charles B. Rosenblatt, Barbara Roux, David W. Seidler,

George Stephanopoulos, Roger Tilles, Jon and Nicky Ungar, and James F. White.

A final and important word of thanks is extended to the current professional staff of the HUM. Without their intellectual contributions and talents the core elements that define the Museum would not be possible.

Associate Director of Exhibitions and Collections Karen T. Albert has curated this anniversary exhibition with her usual aplomb. On a daily basis she serves the HUM and the community with exceptional commitment and experience. Museum Education Director Nancy Richner brings her expertise to the expansion of the HUM’s educational reputation within the Hofstra University community as well as throughout our region.

HUM Collections Manager Kristy L. Caratzola wears numerous hats as curator and educator while providing invaluable and requisite attention to the care of the collections. The concurrent anniversary exhibition in the Museum’s David Filderman Gallery, The Lyon, the Which, and the Warhol, along with its sequel later this year, owe their conceptualization and creation to Kristy. Development and Membership Coordinator Tiffany M. Jordan has employed her knowledge and talent to increase the Museum’s use of social media, website access, growth of membership and outreach via public programs and all printed materials. Museum Education Outreach Coordinator Marjorie Pillar has overseen the growth of the Art Travelers through Time program along with providing core daily contributions that enhance the HUM’s educational outreach. Museum Educator Renee Seltzer contributes significantly toward all aspects of HUM educational endeavors. Caroline S. Bigelow provides not only her friendly voice and welcome to all who interact with the Museum, but also keeps the staff on track in myriad valued ways.

Thank you to all who have contributed to the growth and vitality of the Hofstra University Museum.

Enriching the Collections 50/50: Celebrating Fifty Years of the Hofstra

Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture

University Museum presents a selection of

The recent acquisitions in painting and drawing address a range of aesthetic issues such as the use of representational imagery versus abstract or non-objective compositions. The artists themselves come from diverse backgrounds: American-born, émigrés, African American, Latino, male and female.

All of the paintings and drawings increase the scope of the collections, providing strong works that the curatorial staff employs to make creative and meaningful educational and visual connections between prior and new collection works.

50 works of art chosen from recent acquisitions to the Hofstra University Museum’s (HUM) collections. This exhibition celebrates the great range and quality of works acquired since 2006 while demonstrating the Museum’s continued commitment to excellence. As it refines its collections, the Museum seeks new holdings that advance knowledge and the appreciation of visual art and culture, a core element of its mission.

The HUM permanent collections consist of about 5,000 works of art and ethnographic objects from cultures around the world, dating from the pre-Columbian era to the 21st century. Six hundred and five works of art have been added to the collections since 2006, during the current executive director’s tenure. The collections include paintings, prints, drawings, photographs and sculpture with an emphasis on American art. Indian stone and Chinese ceramic works, Japanese prints and scrolls, African and Oceanic ethnographic pieces and pre-Columbian artifacts are additional components of the collections. Since 2006 the collections have been greatly enhanced by gifted works that include 61 paintings and drawings, 36 prints, 392 photographs, two sculptures, four African works, and 110 pre-Columbian artifacts.

The HUM has been fortunate to have art donors such as Lillian Dodson, who gifted six works by her late husband, abstract expressionist painter Stanley Twardowicz. These carefully chosen paintings, in addition to the ones already in the collections, allow the Museum to present examples of Twardowicz’s work from throughout his long career and truly capture his contribution to 20th-century abstract painting. Earlier this year, Yonia Fain, who, like Twardowicz, is a retired Hofstra University professor, donated 38 paintings and works on paper at the close of the HUM exhibition Yonia Fain: Remembrance. Fain, a Russian-born Holocaust survivor, rejected pure abstraction in his work and feels compelled to “paint history.” He passionately wants humanity to always remember what occurred during the Holocaust. Employing expressive line and color, Fain depicts the despair, atrocities and horror he has witnessed but always with an element of survival and hope in evidence.

The HUM continues to build its collection of contemporary paintings and drawings through the solicitation of works by significant and critically acclaimed artists. While planning and developing exhibitions and educational projects, the Museum often builds new relationships with artists, galleries and collectors that have led to gifts to the collections. One such example occurred during the course of planning for the HUM exhibition Stan Brodsky: The Figure, 1951-2006. During preparations for the show, it was evident that the Museum did not hold any works by this nationally acclaimed Long Island painter. Subsequent donations by the artist in 2008 and 2012 have enriched the Museum’s ability to represent his work. Similarly, in 2011, the development of an exhibition on émigré artists in America drew attention to the fact that the collections lacked contemporary works by Latino artists. A painting

by Luis Cruz Azaceta was borrowed for the exhibition Opportunity and Impact: Works by Émigré Artists and, after the exhibition closed, a donation request resulted in the gift of a large drawing by the artist for the collections.

The family of Long Island painter Donald Resnick gifted two paintings by the landscape artist in 2009, and an additional painting was donated this year in honor of the Museum’s 50th anniversary. Subsequent discussions with the Resnick family have led to the development of a forthcoming exhibition in 2014. Long-standing connections with artists and collectors have also resulted in gifts made in honor of the anniversary, including paintings from Douglas Hilson, Laurie Fendrich and Peter Plagens, a work on paper by Doris Seidler, and a mixed media assemblage work by Howardena Pindell – all artists newly represented in the collections.

With the opening of the HUM’s Emily Lowe Gallery in 1963, fine art professor David Jacobs (now retired) began an informal program of displaying sculptural work by faculty and students throughout the campus. When artist Manolo Pascual donated Knight in 1968, it was installed in a prominent location at the north entrance to the Gallery, where it continues to greet visitors to the Museum. Over the past few decades more than 80 sculptures (donated, commissioned and on loan) have been installed across the 240-acre campus. In 2008 the University sponsored the Person of Color Sculpture Competition as a component of Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz’s diversity awareness initiatives. The international competition ultimately resulted in the selection of Frederick Douglass Circle by Vinnie Bagwell. In 2010, upon her retirement, adjunct fine art professor Felicitas Wetter gifted her painted steel 10

sculpture Circles to the Museum. Circles has been displayed on the south side of Calkins Hall for many years, becoming an integral part of the campus landscape.

Prints Prints make up the largest section of the Museum’s collections with more than 2,300 examples, dating from the 18th to the 21st century, and representing myriad printmaking techniques: woodcuts, engravings, etchings, drypoints, aquatints, mezzotints, lithographs and screenprints, in all variations and combinations. The majority of prints are works by 20th-century American artists, and the imagery ranges from traditional landscape and photorealism to minimalism and abstraction. Prints by important American women artists, such as an abstract color lithograph by Louisa Chase, an etching and aquatint landscape by April Gornick, and a figurative color woodcut by Alison Saar, have recently added to the scope of the collections. Another recent gift adds a group of 10 prints by American artist Robert Kipniss, which includes lithographs, mezzotints and drypoints; Kipniss is well-known for his mastery of the mezzotint printmaking technique, and these are excellent examples of his work.

Pop art-styled screenprints by Burton Morris, gifts of the artist as a result of the HUM exhibition Burton Morris: Pop!, were also added to the collections and demonstrate the continued use of screenprinting as a fine art medium.

While artists such as John Taylor Arms and Robert Rauschenberg have been included in the HUM collections for some years, additional examples of their work have increased the Museum’s ability to represent the œuvre of each artist. Arms, an early 20th-century printmaker, had an important impact on the revival of etching as a fine art medium in the United States, and the two etchings given

by Charles B. Rosenblatt in 2012 enhance opportunities to explore the artist’s contributions. Thanks to a donation by Roger Tilles, Moon Rose, a lithograph from Robert Rauschenberg’s critically acclaimed Stoned Moon series, has been added to a group of 10 prints and mixed media works by this influential American artist owned by the Museum.

Photography The scope of the collections widened in the 1970s when fine art photographs began to be acquired. It is currently the fastest-growing area of the collections with 392 photographs donated since 2006. The acquisition of a series of work and preparatory photographs by two major

artists – Danny Lyon and Andy Warhol – account for approximately half of the recent photography donations.

The concurrent anniversary exhibition, The Lyon, the Which, and the Warhol, curated by HUM Collections Manager Kristy L. Caratzola, on view in the David Filderman Gallery, presents selected works by both artists and connects them to works in other media (the “Which”). The Lyon Bikeriders series was donated by George Stephanopoulos, along with other photographs, over a three-year time period. The Warhol gift comes from the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program and was donated by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to the HUM after a competitive process.

Recent gifts of works by early 20th-century photographers such as Gordon Coster, William Gordon Shields, August Sander and Josef Sudek add a historical element to the collections, as do works by master French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson and American photographer W. Eugene Smith. Gifted works by collectors and artists of photographs by Marilyn Bridges, Donna Ferrato, Ralph Gibson, Ken Heyman, Leon Levinstein, Patrick Nagatani, George Rodger, Barbara Roux, Michael A. Smith, Louis Stettner, Robert Stivers and Garry Winogrand also greatly increase the Museum’s holdings in 20th- and 21st-century American photography. The subject matter of these works is wide-ranging and includes aerial photography by Bridges, panoramic contact prints by Michael A. Smith, Nagatani’s conceptual works about excavation and artifacts, and conservation artist/activist Roux’s images of Long Island’s changing natural landscape.

Steven and Susan Ball, who began donating photographs in 1984, continue to add depth and breadth to the collections through their contributions. Recent gifts include portfolios of photographs by Lucien Clergue, Donna Ferrato and Ralph Gibson. This exhibition includes Clergue’s Plage de Camargue from the portfolio Lucien Clergue: 20th Century Icons (which features five images selected by the photographer from his decades of work) and Ferrato’s West Broadway Liquor Store Bar from the portfolio Tribeca, 10013.

Ethnographic Objects Since its origins, the HUM collections have included objects and works of art from a wide range of cultures from around the world. Ethnographic objects began to populate the HUM collections in the 1960s with

donations of African, Oceanic and pre-Columbian works.

The collections contain 235 works of African art with pieces from 17 different countries, mainly from western and central Africa, and 62 different cultures or tribal affiliations. The four African works recently donated by Dr. and Mrs. Pascal James Imperato complement other current holdings, adding examples of masks and figures from cultures not previously represented in this area of the collections. Collected by the donors while in Africa, these pieces add to the quality and importance of the African art holdings at the Museum.

In 1967 Dr. William M. Lannik contributed 50 preColumbian clay figures and bowls from the western regions of present-day Mexico. This gift formed the core of the pre-Columbian pieces in the collections.

In 2011 Dr. Lannik’s daughter, Susana Lannik, contacted the Museum to inquire about donating additional works from her late father’s collection. During the past two years Ms. Lannik has gifted the HUM a total of 110 pre-Columbian objects from Peru and Mexico. These objects provide excellent examples of the region and time period and are particularly important as the pieces reunite with others from the original Lannik collection.

This exhibition features a selection of pre-Columbian artifacts such as the Male Figure from Nayarit, Mexico; Figures from Colima, Mexico; Vessel from Nasca, Peru and Stirrup-Spout Jar from Moche, Peru.

While 50/50: Celebrating Fifty Years of the Hofstra University Museum features only a small portion of the resources represented in the expansive collections, the vitality and depth of the collections is exemplified by the works that have been selected. As the HUM looks to the future, we will see additional refinement of the collections and increased access for in-person and digital visitors alike. The Museum’s physical facilities may present limitations for the number of works exhibited at any one time, but our own imaginations are not so constrained and the opportunities for new exhibitions, research and educational links to works from the world’s diverse cultures will define new directions. The generosity of our donors is truly appreciated as it adds to the collections’ breadth and scope and makes these future directions possible.
