president’s report

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Milwaukee Art Museum, I am pleased to report that the twelve months covered by this report (September 1, 2015–August 31, 2016) represented a historic time for us, marked by prudent fiscal management. During this reporting fiscal year, the Museum reopened its Collection Galleries. Donors gave generously to help fund the $34 million project, $10 million of which was provided by Milwaukee County. We are grateful for everyone’s contributions toward making these much-needed renovations and forward-looking improvements possible.

The restored and renovated Museum opened to the public on Tuesday, November 24, with festivities sponsored by Associated Bank.

Equally historic was the gift from Donald and Donna Baumgartner of $8 million to endow the director position at the Museum. In August, Marcelle Polednik, PhD, joined the Museum as its new and first Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director. We also received a $3.6 million gift from Barbara Tooman, commemorating her parents, to endow the Abert Family Curator of American Art. The exhibitions again were among the more significant highlights of fiscal year 2016, not only in the Baker/Rowland Galleries but also in the newly constructed Bradley Family Gallery and Herzfeld Center for Photography and Media Arts.

We discovered one of the most influential photographers of his generation with Larry Sultan: Here and Home, saw breathtaking landscapes from when America was still a young nation in Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School, experienced the power of storytelling in American Epics: Thomas Hart Benton and Hollywood, celebrated a 2012 gift to the Museum with Taking Center Stage: The Lanford Wilson Collection of Self-Taught Art, and explored our collective photographic habits in Penelope Umbrico: Future Perfect.

The reinstalled Kohl’s Art Generation spaces brought thousands of families to the Museum. Offering learning experiences for all through education is at the core of the Museum’s mission, and its nationally recognized education programs, with curriculumbased activities and multidisciplinary tours, welcomed tens of thousands of schoolchildren this fiscal year.

We have so many to thank for their continued investment in the Museum, including our community partners and sponsors who support the many exhibitions and programs. We now have over 23,000 Member households in the Museum family to support the annual operations of the Museum. From Student Members to the President’s Circle, all combined provide several million dollars annually to ensure that the Museum is able to provide the highest level of programs, run by the best staff available.

With the reopening of the Museum, we can now focus on creating art experiences that continue to enrich and inspire our ever-growing and diversifying community. I look forward to working with our new director, Marcelle, to guide our Museum into this exciting new phase. I am proud to be the President of your Milwaukee Art Museum—an incredible asset in this great community.

Thank you again for your support.

Donald W. Layden Jr. President, Board of Trustees

director’s report

Dear Donors, Members, and Friends of the Museum: The greater part of fiscal year 2016 occurred before I arrived as the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director, a title that honors the largest endowment gift to the Museum. Such a generous show of support was but a culmination of twelve months of firsts that distinguish this year.

In November, the Museum opened after what was its first major reinstallation of the Collection Galleries. The project, six years in the making, captured the imaginations of many, including myself, then a candidate eyeing an institution showing exciting potential and a solid foundation. It required the Herculean efforts of trustees, donors, staff, and volunteers and, I am happy to report, was successfully accomplished within budget.

The community, excited to see its “new” Museum, visited in increasing numbers and continued to grow our Member family.

The Collection Galleries proved to be no longer “permanent” but, instead, dynamic spaces, providing guests with something new to discover—or a new way to look at something familiar— with each visit.

Strong partnerships with peer institutions resulted in us bringing to Milwaukee the exhibitions Larry Sultan: Here and Home, Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School, and American Epics: Thomas Hart Benton and Hollywood—a robust lineup. Showcased in the new Bradley Family Gallery were exhibitions that celebrated significant collection gifts to the Museum and area collectors of old master works. The first year of the Herzfeld Center for Photography and Media Arts, too, highlighted strong holdings in the Museum’s Collection, including a new acquisition, a work from Penelope Umbrico’s Suns from Sunsets from Flickr series that was featured in the Future Perfect exhibition in that space.

The Umbrico acquisition was one of many photographs, prints, paintings, and design pieces added to the Museum’s Collection this year. Stellar acquisitions from Nick Cave’s Soundsuit— purchased in honor of my predecessor, Dan Keegan—to Tyanna Buie’s Incarnation reflect an institution with a firm vision and the reputation to acquire many choice pieces through judicious purchases and generous gifts.

We continued to serve our area families and young adults, ensuring that all ages had unique opportunities to engage with the art and each other and enjoy new experiences. To come on a Sunday during Kohl’s Art Generation Family Sundays or on a Friday evening for MAM After Dark and see Windhover Hall filled and people throughout the galleries was inspiring. The success of these programs reveals a desire in our community that we can satisfy yet further in the years ahead, with similar program offerings that bring people together in thoughtful conversation and for enriching activities.

In fact, moving forward, we are setting a course for a new phase of engagement. The Museum is on solid footing: an astonishing collection, a leading education program, an enviable campus, and a talented staff are but a few of the Museum’s many assets. Now is the time to recalibrate, refine, and build on this foundation, to broaden and deepen our reach in Milwaukee and to expand our geographic sphere of influence. I am energized by not only the accomplishments of this past year but also the possibilities of the next, and by the staff, donors, Members, families, school groups, visitors, and artists who play a vital role in making their Museum the welcoming place that it is.

Thank you for a successful year,

Marcelle Polednik, PhD Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director

curatorial report

This was an exciting year for the Museum and the Curatorial Department. The final stages of the renovation moved forward with continued vigor. And after much ambitious work, the Curatorial Department completed the reinstallation of the Collection Galleries, which reopened with a grand celebration in November.

The renovation resulted in two new exhibition spaces: the Herzfeld Center for Photography and Media Arts, dedicated to the exhibition of works on paper (10,000 square feet), and the Bradley Family Gallery (4,000 square feet). The two spaces featured five total exhibitions in 2015–16, significantly adding to the Museum’s exhibition program.

Acquisition activity in fiscal year 2016 included incisive purchases and generous gifts of significant works. Highlights are featured below.

ACQUISITION AND COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS American Art This past year, the American art collection received the largest gift in its history from Barbara Abert Tooman: a substantial endowment to fund the work of its curator and the collection’s future projects and programs. As a result, the curator is now the Abert Family Curator of American Art, a title that acknowledges the Aberts’ critical role in establishing the American art collection at the Museum, especially the significant collection of works

by Ashcan artists and The Eight.

The Museum also continued its dedication to acquiring and showing works by American modernists, and added to its twentieth-century sculpture collection with the acquisition of William Hunt Diederich’s rare and important bronze sculpture Greyhounds. Created around 1913 when the artist was living in Paris, where it attracted considerable critical attention, it shows the sculptor’s admiration for greyhounds. Diederich seemingly saw limitless design potential in the animals, which dominate his nature-based sculptures. He produced several variations of these playing greyhounds, and in this version, he radically extended the dog’s leap in a tour de force of bronze casting— a canine embodiment of the essence of the streamlined, Art Moderne sensibility that the artist reinforced with the addition of a ribbon of ornamental scallops around the base.

Franz Ittenbach, Mother of the World, 1872. Full credit listing on page 23.

Design The Museum’s Design collection received wonderful gifts from several individuals, including glass from the collection of Jane and George Kaiser. The Demmer Charitable Trust provided funding for many outstanding objects this year, including four drawings and a child’s cabinet from the Swingline series by industrial designer and architect Henry Glass; an armchair for Metz & Co. and a “zig zag” chair by Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld; a cabinet by Eugene Schoen and a cocktail set by Elsa Tennhardt (both of which will be on view in the traveling exhibition The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s); a leaf tray made by the Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala; and a Nocturne radio designed by Walter Dorwin Teague, one of the most iconic Art Deco forms. Joris Laarman’s Soft Gradient Chair, from his Microstructures series, is the Museum’s first 3-D printed work and contributes to the burgeoning contemporary design collection.

European Art Three paintings were added to the European art collection this year. The first was a purchase—a rare work in its original artistmade frame by the German Nazarene painter Franz Ittenbach.

This historicizing work is gilded and jewel encrusted and depicts the Madonna and Child. Ittenbach deliberately evoked Renaissance paintings by artists such as Raphael, believing those works to be a more authentic expression of his deep faith. The painting relates to the Museum’s René von Schleinitz Collection and earlier Renaissance paintings such as the Nardo di Cione. The other two paintings were Italian Baroque pieces donated by the important collector and museum patron Alfred Bader. Particularly fine is the painting of Saint Anthony Abbot by the Florentine artist Jacopo Vignali.

when the suit is worn in performance. Another sculpture, monumental in size by Los Angeles–based artist Thomas Houseago, combines plaster and iron rods to form a physically imposing human figure that simultaneously conveys a sense of vulnerability in its construction. Given by Friends of Art, the figure strikes a classical pose, and the surface is worked in an expressionistic manner that flirts with abstraction. Additionally, an emotionally powerful large-scale assemblage by former Milwaukee artist Tyanna Buie was added to the collection through the generosity of the African American Art Alliance.

Incarnation is composed of screenprinted images collaged together, forming a tapestry that weaves together imagery related to several of the artist’s deceased family members— bringing together the cohesive family she never had.

The Museum also acquired a range of significant prints this year, including a masterful pair by Canaletto: The House with the Inscription and The House with the Peristyle from Imaginary View of Venice, 1741. These wonderful prints are a gift from the DASS Fund and are some of Canaletto’s rare but exquisite graphic works.

Photography Since the opening of the Herzfeld Center for Photography and Media Arts in November 2015, the priorities for the Museum’s photography collection have been on building existing strengths, filling in gaps, and complementing the Herzfeld Center’s robust exhibitions program. Many of these acquisitions were supported by the Herzfeld Acquisition Fund.

Folk and Self-Taught Art The Museum’s folk and self-taught collection also received important gifts from the collection of Jane and George Kaiser, including drawings by Eddie Arning, Joseph Yoakum, and Bill Traylor. One of the most celebrated American artists of the twentieth century, Traylor only began making his art in the last decade of his life, producing hundreds of drawings featuring simple forms that often communicated complex narratives.

In addition, three paintings by Eddy Mumma (“Mr. Eddy”) entered the collection through the generous gift of Josh Feldstein. Mr. Eddy often emulated famous portraits, and the connection of the Museum’s painting to Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is unmistakable.

Modern and Contemporary Among the works that entered the Museum’s modern and contemporary art collection was a Soundsuit sculpture by performance artist Nick Cave, given in honor of retiring Director Dan Keegan. Taking the form of a costume, Soundsuits are covered with various found objects that make noises

In 2015–16, the newly established Christine A. Symchych and James P. McNulty Acquisition Fund allowed an exceptional series by Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra to enter the collection.

Almerisa, an eleven-part portrait of a young Bosnian refugee made over the course of fourteen years, transforms the Museum’s contemporary photography holdings. This series was on view in The Lives of Others: Portraits from the Photography Collection alongside other recent acquisitions, including Dawoud Bey’s portrait of a boy in Harlem; Peter Hujar’s tender depiction of his lover, David Wojnarowicz; and Henry Clay Anderson’s record of black middle-class families in Greenville, Mississippi.

Important pictures by Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama and by local photographers J. Shimon and J. Lindemann were also added to the collection.

The Curatorial Department staff itself expanded with Assistant Curator of Photography Ariel Pate, who joined the Museum from the Art Institute of Chicago.

curatorial report (continued)

MUSEUM LIBRARY/ARCHIVES In 2015–16, the Museum’s art library celebrated an important centenary anniversary. Since 1916, the art library has served the research needs of Museum staff, docents, students, teachers, and scholars through the acquisition and maintenance of vital library resources.

Also in 2015–16, the Museum’s art library and archives were relocated from the Museum to the historic Judge Jason Downer mansion on Prospect Avenue. Under the direction of Librarian/ Archivist Heather Winter, the Museum’s new Research Center will make available extensive art research collections, including nearly twenty-seven thousand volumes on art and art history; sixty thousand catalogues, journals, and magazines; and many archival collections, including the Brooks Stevens Archive, the George Mann Niedecken Archive, the Museum’s institutional archives, and more. The Research Center, slated to open in late spring 2017, features reading rooms, study spaces, and a lecture space.

CONSERVATION Fiscal year 2016 was the first in over four years that a full-time framer was on staff, hired to meet the increased needs for framing works on paper in the reinstalled galleries.

The original frame shop was lost due to renovation; however, a new space was constructed adjacent to the Conservation Lab. In addition to preparing and conserving hundreds of artworks for gallery rotations, conservation efforts in the first part of the year were focused on the Lanford Wilson Collection, with twenty sculptures conserved and another thirty-five works on paper conserved, matted, and framed for the exhibition.

Conservation on the artworks in the Wilson collection not exhibited is ongoing.

Contract conservators completed conservation on Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s Dodo with a Feather Hat and Alexei Jawlensky’s The Gardener. Conservation sponsored by the Fine Arts Society was begun on Cornelius Janssen van Ceulen’s The Countess of Exeter. The conservators also inspected over a dozen paintings and submitted proposals for future treatment.

COLLECTION PARTNERSHIPS The Layton Art Collection The Museum was delighted to continue its decades-long collaboration with the Layton Art Collection Inc. In addition to working closely with the Layton trustees to develop an immersive gallery evoking Frederick Layton’s original space, Museum curators worked closely with them on a generous campaign of reframing. Thanks to these philanthropic efforts, we were able to reframe eight Layton collection paintings for the newly reinstalled galleries.

The Chipstone Foundation The Chipstone Foundation is a nonprofit organization located in Fox Point, Wisconsin. Collectors Stanley and Polly Mariner Stone founded Chipstone in 1965 with the mission to collect early American decorative arts and promote scholarship in the field. Chipstone, an integral collaborator with the Museum’s Curatorial Department in planning the reinstallation of the renovated decorative arts galleries, created several innovative displays in the Godfrey American Art Wing: a period room built around the foundation’s unparalleled holdings of American furniture, historical prints, and British pottery, and the Dave Project, which tells compelling stories of African American culture through the works of Dave the Potter, Thomas Day, John Hemings, the enslaved makers of Southern face vessels, and other African American artists and craftspeople.

SC Johnson Company The Museum again assisted important community partner SC Johnson Company in creating an exhibition for SC Johnson’s At Home with Frank Lloyd Wright gallery. Building Relationships: Wright, Johnson and the SC Johnson Campus is the fifth annual exhibition since the gallery opened in 2012. SC Johnson’s relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright began in 1936, when the successful wax and paint manufacturing company decided to expand its offices. Herbert F. Johnson Jr., president and grandson of the founder of SC Johnson, made a bold decision to work with Wright, and the result is an icon of American architecture. Wright’s design for the two SC Johnson buildings continues to inspire as the campus evolves in the twenty-first century.

exhibitions

Exhibitions organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum unless otherwise noted.

BAKER/ROWLAND GALLERIES Larry Sultan: Here and Home Oct 23, 2015–Jan 24, 2016 Organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Coordinated at the Museum by Lisa Sutcliffe, curator of photography and media arts.

Larry Sultan: Here and Home was the first retrospective of the celebrated California photographer. The exhibition explored Sultan’s thirty-five-year career through six major bodies of work: Evidence (1975–77), made collaboratively with Mike Mandel; Swimmers (1978–82); Pictures from Home (1983–92); The Valley (1997–2003); Homeland

14

(2006–09); and Sultan’s editorial work. One of the most influential photographers of his generation, Sultan explored ideas of home, family, belonging, façade, and storytelling in evocative pictures that challenged photographic conventions.

The presentation further included the “Study Hall,” a room offering a unique lens into Sultan’s exploratory process both as an artist and a teacher.

Presented by Madeleine and David Lubar, with additional support from the David C. & Sarajean Ruttenberg Arts Foundation Media Partners: Clear Channel Outdoor, 88Nine Radio Milwaukee “Study Hall” presented by Art’s Cameras Plus

Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School Feb 26–May 8, 2016

offered a journey into America’s character, both its strengths and weaknesses, and revealed Benton’s dedicated quest to understand and represent American identity.

Organized by the New-York Historical Society. Coordinated at the Museum by Brandon Ruud, Abert Family Curator of American Art.

Sponsored in part by Bank of America and a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Celebrating 50 years of excellence, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts Supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities and Milwaukee Art Museum’s Friends of Art

Drawn from the New-York Historical Society’s acclaimed collection, Nature and the American Vision included nearly fifty of the most important paintings from early American history. The exhibition charted the emergence and rise of the Hudson River School, considered the nation’s first original artistic movement. The reverence this loosely knit group of painters, poets, and writers had for nature has often been credited with spurring both nationalism and preservation movements. The exhibition culminated in a presentation of Thomas Cole’s epic landscape narrative, The Course of Empire, a grand, five-painting cycle presented at the Milwaukee Art Museum for the first time.

This exhibition was supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. Additional support provided by the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Friends of Art. Program sponsorship provided by the Milwaukee Art Museum’s American Arts Society

American Epics: Thomas Hart Benton and Hollywood June 10–Sept 5, 2016

BRADLEY FAMILY GALLERY Sam Francis: Master Printmaker Nov 24, 2015–March 20, 2016 Curated by Margaret Andera, adjunct curator.

Sam Francis: Master Printmaker marked the inaugural exhibition in the new Bradley Family Gallery, a 4,000-square-foot changing exhibition space located on the upper level of the Museum’s newly renovated Collection Galleries. The exhibition celebrated the 2009 gift to the Museum of more than five hundred prints from the Sam Francis Foundation, making the Milwaukee Art Museum the largest museum repository of the artist’s works on paper. For the exhibition, approximately fifty lithographs, etchings, aquatints, and screenprints were featured, representing a cross section of the most significant print series of Francis’s career.

Sponsored by the Sam Francis Foundation and Sendik’s Food Markets

Organized by the Peabody Essex Museum in collaboration with the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Coordinated at the Museum by Brandon Ruud, Abert Family Curator of American Art. American Epics revealed important connections between quintessential American artist Thomas Hart Benton, Hollywood, and film. Benton was acutely aware of contemporary storytelling’s shift toward movies, and he developed a cinematic style of painting that melded art historical traditions and more recent movie-production techniques. Throughout the exhibition, Benton’s art was paired with movie clips, and these pairings presented opportunities to explore how both Benton and filmmakers created engaging visual stories with broad appeal.

Taking Center Stage: The Lanford Wilson Collection of Self-Taught Art April 15–July 3, 2016

From Rembrandt to Parmigianino: Old Masters from Private Collections July 29–Oct 23, 2016

Curated by Margaret Andera, adjunct curator.

Curated by Tanya Paul, Isabel and Alfred Bader Curator of European Art.

This exhibition celebrated the Lanford Wilson Collection, a 2012 gift to the Museum. Wilson was one of America’s leading dramatists for the Broadway stage and television. The Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright developed a passion for collecting folk and self-taught art that would include over three hundred works. Taking Center Stage featured paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by such renowned self-taught artists as William Hawkins, Joseph Yoakum, David Butler, Vestie Davis, Felipe Archuleta, and Bessie Harvey. The gift of the Wilson Collection solidifies the Museum as the leading institution in North America for work in the field of folk and self-taught art.

The age-old tradition of collecting European Renaissance and Baroque art began in the very years in which the artworks were created and continues unabated today, including here in Wisconsin and the surrounding region. Yet because many of these treasures are held in private collections, the public seldom, if ever, gets the occasion to see them. During this exclusive presentation, Museum visitors had the opportunity to enjoy paintings and drawings by masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn and Parmigianino, selected from the rich collections that reside within only a few hundred miles of the Museum.

Sponsored by the Stephen Kohl Charitable Trust

THE HERZFELD CENTER FOR PHOTOGRAPHY AND MEDIA ARTS Light Borne in Darkness: Highlights from the Photography Collection Nov 24, 2015–April 10, 2016 Curated by Lisa Sutcliffe, curator of photography and media arts.

Light Borne in Darkness was the inaugural exhibition in the Museum’s new Herzfeld Center for Photography and Media Arts, a 10,000-square-foot space devoted to a global array of photography, film, video installation, and media art. The exhibition presented highlights from the Museum’s photography collection, shown together for the first time. Visitors discovered the history of the medium through the work of masters Diane Arbus, Walker Evans, Louis Faurer, Robert Frank, Edward Steichen, and Alfred Stieglitz, among others, and Wisconsin natives Lewis Hine and Ray Metzker.

Penelope Umbrico: Future Perfect May 5–Aug 7, 2016 Curated by Lisa Sutcliffe, curator of photography and media arts.

Embracing the flood of images available in the Internet age, contemporary artist Penelope Umbrico sifts through millions of images shared on Craigslist, Flickr, and social media sites and appropriates them as source material for her work. She seizes upon popular subjects such as sunsets and televisions and creates large-scale installations that reveal contemporary society’s collective photographic habits and the underlying desires that shape them. Future Perfect featured over thirty photo-based installations—comprising nearly five thousand individual images—along with photographs, videos, and books that trace Umbrico’s obsessive systems of inquiry and online research since 2006.

Sponsored by the Herzfeld Foundation

A. O. SMITH CORPORATION GALLERY (AMERICAN ART GALLERY K230) John Singleton Copley in Focus Nov 24, 2015–May 22, 2016 Curated by Brandon Ruud, Abert Family Curator of American Art.

in the United States: a pair of pendant portraits of American colonists Anne and Duncan Stewart by the country’s first old master, John Singleton Copley. Painted by Copley in 1767 and now owned by Edinburgh’s Stewart society—descendents of the sitters—the works made a return visit to the United States for the first time in almost 250 years.

America Seen! Regionalism from the American Art Collection May 27–Sept 25, 2016 Curated by Brandon Ruud, Abert Family Curator of American Art. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition American Epics: Thomas Hart Benton and Hollywood—and drawn from the Museum’s extensive print collection—America Seen! showed another dimension of Benton’s career, alongside works by his contemporaries. Examined were American Scene painting and Regionalism, which emerged in the 1920s and 1930s with images of nostalgic, rural subjects that critics positioned as an authentic, reassuring counterpoint to European modernism.

Artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Grant Wood nonetheless wrestled with modern issues and, inspired by Mexican muralists José Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera, among others, depicted mass amusements and popular entertainments, economic and social issues, politics and racism, industry and agriculture.

For the inaugural exhibition in the Constance and Dudley Godfrey American Art Wing’s Focus Gallery, the Museum presented two rare paintings never before publicly exhibited

exhibitions (continued)

PABST BREWING COMPANY GALLERY (EUROPEAN ART GALLERY S202) Dürer and the German Renaissance Nov 24, 2015–March 20, 2016 Curated by Tanya Paul, Isabel and Alfred Bader Curator of European Art. Albrecht Dürer, one of the most celebrated and highly skilled artists in the history of German art, had his greatest impact as a printmaker. He transformed the medium from one that existed almost exclusively to illustrate books into an independent art form. He created woodcuts and engravings of unparalleled artistic virtuosity and psychological complexity. One of the most famous of these prints, Melencolia (1514), was the centerpiece in this inaugural exhibition in the new European works on paper gallery. In addition to fourteen Dürer prints, the exhibition featured engravings and woodcuts by other leading artists of the period, including Heinrich Aldegrever and Hans Sebald Beham. The exhibition explored how Dürer’s artwork influenced that of his contemporaries and examined the role that early German printed books played in the artistic climate of Renaissance Germany.

Anders Zorn: Sweden’s Painter-Etcher March 29–July 31, 2016 Curated by Catherine Sawinski, assistant curator of earlier European art.

Little known today, Anders Zorn was one of the most famous artists at the turn of the twentieth century. Based in Paris, he was among a group of artists that sought to raise the status of etching to that of painting. Zorn was esteemed for his active and bold etching technique and his masterful use of line. Anders Zorn: Sweden’s Painter-Etcher was the first exhibition in which all eighteen of Zorn’s prints in the Museum’s Collection—ranging in subject from noble portraits to peasant life in Sweden—were on view.

Corot, Daubigny, Millet: Visions of France Aug 5–Nov 27, 2016 Curated by Tanya Paul, Isabel and Alfred Bader Curator of European Art.

18

The nineteenth-century picture-making technique cliché-verre (glass negative), which combines elements of printmaking and photography, was the highlight of this exhibition. Featured was the complete set of 41 prints, by artists such as Jean-BaptisteCamille Corot, Jean-François Millet, and Charles-François Daubigny, that Parisian art dealer and publisher Maurice Le Garrec published in 1921.

Sponsored by the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Print Forum

SCHROEDER GALLERIA 2016 Scholastic Art Awards: Wisconsin Exhibition Jan 30–March 13, 2016 Each year, students in grades 7–12 compete to have their artwork recognized in the Scholastic Art Awards—and placed on view in the Museum. This year marked the fortieth anniversary of the Museum hosting the Scholastic Art Awards: Wisconsin Exhibition. A jury of artists, art professionals, and teachers reviewed the nearly three thousand entries and selected more than three hundred artworks to be honored in the exhibition. The Scholastic Art Awards program has been acknowledging excellence in the visual arts and encouraging the artistic endeavors of young people throughout the United States for over ninety years.

TAKING CENTER STAGE: THE LANFORD WILSON COLLECTION OF SELF-TAUGHT ART

FROM REMBRANDT TO PARMIGIANINO: OLD MASTERS FROM PRIVATE COLLECTIONS

Margaret Andera, Tanya Berezin, and Lanford Wilson Forward by: Daniel T. Keegan Edited by: Christina Dittrich Designed by: Nate Pyper Published by: Milwaukee Art Museum Softcover, 119 pages, 2016

Tanya Paul and Catherine Sawinski Forward by: Brady Roberts and Don Layden Edited by: Christina Dittrich Designed by: Nate Pyper Published by: Milwaukee Art Museum Softcover, 124 pages, 2016

The catalogue created in conjunction with the exhibition Taking Center Stage: The Lanford Wilson Collection of SelfTaught Art celebrates the gift of Lanford Wilson’s extraordinary collection of American self-taught art to the Museum. Exhibition curator Margaret Andera shaped a publication that relates the impassioned vision of this Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright and collector. The catalogue features an essay by Wilson, reprinted from a 1993 publication, that is a significant and insightful commentary on self-taught art. Tanya Berezin, Wilson’s longtime friend and theater colleague, provides a moving reminiscence about Wilson the playwright and the person, and paints a wonderfully vivid picture of how Wilson lived with his art.

The publication includes color images of each work in the exhibition and a full exhibition checklist.

This exhibition catalogue celebrates the age-old tradition of collecting European Renaissance and Baroque art and the great artistic riches that reside in private collections throughout Milwaukee and the surrounding region. Tanya Paul, Isabel and Alfred Bader Curator of European Art, and Catherine Sawinski, assistant curator of earlier European art, created a robust presentation and catalogue, which includes an essay and illustrated entries (with provenance information) on each work in the exhibition.

education + public programs

Fiscal year 2016 was a year of learning about new works of art, rediscovering old favorites, and celebrating a milestone in the Museum’s history. Thanks to the dedicated support of the Museum’s volunteer docents, tens of thousands of visitors were welcomed and reintroduced to the reinstalled Collection Galleries. Kohl’s sponsored a Community Free Day on

34

December 6, in conjunction with the Kohl’s Art Generation Family Sundays: Fresh Family Fun event, making it possible for everyone in the community to explore the newly renovated Museum—at no charge. With the reopening, the Education Department was delighted to present families with three new hands-on exhibitions, within wholly refurbished education spaces.

The Kohl’s Art Generation Gallery featured Rubbish!, in which children of all ages explored the ways that artists use everyday materials—bottle caps, chicken bones, coffee lids—to make beautiful works of art. Activities in the gallery included designing a quilt, constructing a table with wood scraps, and creating a unique object from trash at the Rubbish Bar. The Kohl’s Art Generation Lab opened with Haitian Art. Through works drawn from the Museum’s collection of Haitian art, the installation allowed visitors to immerse themselves in the art and culture of Haiti—past and present. Visitors learned about the importance of community, family, religion, and more through music, photography, and video.

“Collaboration” and “laboratory” converged in The Collaboratory, in the Richard and Suzanne Pieper Family Education Gallery.

This interactive space encouraged connections between objects from past centuries and the contemporary world.

The “collector’s cabinet,” featuring everything from armor to astrolabes, was paired with a series of drawers that opened to works—video, music, art—that teens had produced in response to the older objects. The teens worked with contemporary artist-educator Ray Chi in the Teen Lab, where such projects take shape, and which is periodically open to the public to comment on the collaborations in process. Nearby, a roomsized camera obscura made it possible for visitors to step into visual technology from another time.

There were numerous ways for visitors to learn about the art in the newly installed Collection Galleries. In addition to an updated audio guide with the curators, more than fifty hand-held “closer look” cards were placed throughout the galleries, calling out specific aspects within individual works of art. The Family iPod Touch Tour was expanded, offering opportunities for kids to play games, see videos, and take an art selfie. And more adventurefilled ArtPacks were created, with activities such as drawing, playing with puppets, and reading stories, to help families engage with the art while exploring the Museum together.

Throughout the year, each month of programming centered on a particular collection (e.g., programs in April focused on the European art collection), serving to reintroduce visitors to the newly renovated gallery spaces. Among the programs offered were curator-led gallery talks and the Before and After talks, during which conservators discussed how works of art were prepared for reinstallation.

Fiscal year 2016 also marked the fortieth year that the Museum has hosted the Scholastic Art Awards: Wisconsin Exhibition.

Since 1976, students in grades 7–12 from across Wisconsin have annually submitted works to be judged by an esteemed panel of art educators, artists, and museum professionals.

Each year in the exhibition, the Museum honors former gold key winners who have gone on to have distinguished careers in art, including artists represented in the Museum’s Collection: Richard Avedon, Harry Bertoia, Red Grooms, Robert Indiana, David Lenz, Philip Pearlstein, David Salle, Cy Twombly, Tom Uttech, Andy Warhol, and John Wilde.

What a Year for the Plan for the Future Reflecting on the last year, it was truly a moment in history for the Milwaukee Art Museum. In September 2015, the Museum successfully achieved its goal of $34 million for the reinstallation campaign, thanks to hundreds of generous donors. The grand reopening of the Museum was held in November 2015. Several exclusive events were held before the public opening for donors and Members to experience and celebrate the renovated spaces—to see the hard work that was put in to make the buildings extraordinary and able to serve and inspire the generations to come. The public enjoyed a celebratory opening. Grand Unveiling sponsors: Saturday and Monday—Associated Bank; Tuesday and Thursday—PNC. We extend our deepest gratitude to all our supporters who contributed and made this happen!

Another moment in the history of the Museum during fiscal year 2016 was the addition of two major endowment gifts. Donald and Donna Baumgartner announced an $8 million gift to endow the director position, the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director. Barbara Tooman made a generous $3.6 million gift, in commemoration of her parents, to endow the Abert Family Curator of American Art. We are very grateful for these gifts that will keep on giving!

EVERY GIFT COUNTS The accomplishments of the past year were possible thanks to the Museum’s generous donors. All gifts, large and small, are critical to the Museum and its ability to present outstanding exhibitions and a world-class Collection, and to offer leading educational programs that are recognized as being among the finest in the country. With the renovation, the Museum added 25,000 square feet of active gallery space, making it possible to place more of the objects in the Collection on view.

There are more rotating exhibitions throughout the Collection Galleries and more educational opportunities associated with them, thanks to continuing support from the community.

The Museum’s fundraising successes reflect the region’s commitment to a world-class art museum for Milwaukee.

ANNUAL FUND A key area of support continues to be the Annual Fund, which is the single largest source of funding for Museum operations. More than 22,000 supporters contributed a total of $5,229,549 to the fund this fiscal year. Led by Development Committee Chair Wendy Blumenthal, a dedicated group of trustees and a committee of volunteers once again produced a successful annual campaign.

MEMBERSHIP Membership in the Museum provides great benefits to Members, whose support is vital to the Museum’s ability to present worldclass exhibitions and stellar programs. The Museum is thankful to have loyal Members—and a membership that continues to grow.

In fiscal year 2016, membership grew by 20 percent, with over 23,500 Member households by year-end.

Comprising nearly 35 percent of the Museum’s annual attendance, Members took advantage of their most valuable benefit: free Museum admission. Members also enjoyed a host of exclusive events and benefits throughout the year, including Member Preview Celebrations for the three feature exhibitions, Member-only tours, and discounts on shopping, dining, and parking. Additionally, the Museum debuted a new program series called Member Drink & Think, inviting Members at the Art Advocate level and above to socialize with other Members over refreshments before taking part in a private curator-led tour.

These Members were further invited to several trips throughout the year, including a day trip to the Art Institute of Chicago to see Van Gogh’s Bedrooms.

On November 21 and 22, 2015, at the Member-Only Grand Unveiling Weekend Celebration sponsored by Kohl’s Department Stores, Members were some of the first to experience the Museum’s newly restored and reimagined Collection Galleries. Over 3,500 Members attended the festive two-day preview, which featured curator lectures, gallery activities, a site-specific installation by Milwaukee artist katheryn e. martin, and a champagne toast with the director.

development (continued)

In May 2016, during the annual Member-appreciation month, Museum Members were again treated to extra discounts, admission privileges, and programs. They also were afforded free general admission to six Milwaukee-area museums on the popular Member Swap Day. The Museum believes that art education and experiences are the right of every child regardless of ability, background, or income. In May 2016, the Museum launched the Family Access Membership Program, offering a Family membership for only $20 to those who qualify for certain types of public assistance.

The Museum deeply appreciates its Members for their support, advocacy, and commitment.

SUPPORT GROUPS Membership also affords Members the opportunity to join any of the nine support groups, all of which are busy throughout the year with activities related to a specific interest area within the Museum’s Collection. More than four hundred Members are involved in support groups.

African American Art Alliance (founded 1990) supports educational programs centering on African American art and artists, promotes volunteer involvement in the Museum, and is dedicated to raising funds for purchasing African American art for the Museum’s Collection.

American Arts Society (founded 1993) celebrates American art, antiques, and architecture from the colonial era into the twentieth century through educational programs, trips, exhibitions, and conservation efforts.

The Collectors’ Corner (founded 1948) is committed to developing educational programs that promote knowledge and important scholarship in the decorative arts.

Contemporary Art Society (founded 1982) promotes the appreciation of contemporary art through the sponsorship of programs that bring renowned artists, critics, and curators to the Museum; by supporting acquisitions; and by sponsoring exhibitions of contemporary art at the Museum.

38

Fine Arts Society (founded 1987) is a group of European-art enthusiasts that sponsors and supports related programs, exhibitions, and acquisitions by the Museum.

Friends of Art (founded 1957) is the Museum’s largest volunteer support group. Hundreds of volunteers work to present FOA events, such as Lakefront Festival of Art, that engage the community, expand the Museum’s audience, and generate funds to support exhibitions at the Museum and the acquisition of artworks for its Collection.

Garden Club (founded 1921) is the largest member club of the Wisconsin Garden Club Federation. The club supports the Museum through the annual Art in Bloom event and other activities.

Photography Council (founded 1988) is devoted to the Museum’s photography collection and exhibition program and allows Museum Members with an interest in the art and history of photography to enrich their knowledge of the medium through an annual program of special events.

Print Forum (founded 1980) unites Museum Members with an interest in prints and drawings from the Renaissance to today.

It sponsors exhibitions, lectures, and seminars and provides support for the acquisition of prints, drawings, and artists’ books for the Museum’s Collection.

The Museum is fortunate to have such longstanding, supportive Members. Their generosity directly affects the breadth and depth of the Museum’s programs, including acquisitions, exhibitions, lectures, and special events, keeping the Museum vibrant. For this, the Museum is deeply grateful.

PRESIDENT’S CIRCLE The Museum’s leading supporters are its President’s Circle Members—individuals, families, and businesses that contribute $2,500 or more to the Annual Fund. In 2015–16, the 280 President’s Circle Members gave $2.9 million. President’s Circle Members participated in the Museum’s programs as avidly as they supported them. Among the special receptions and events that they attended were the President’s Circle Preview Celebrations for each feature exhibition. This year was the first

full year that the Benefactor Plus level of membership was available. At $3,500, the Benefactor Plus membership provided an additional option for donors and was well received—with 190 members.

Everyone, in the Museum and the community, benefits from the tremendous generosity of the President’s Circle Members.

Thanks to them, the Museum remains a vital institution that continues to attract visitors to the community.

SPONSORSHIP SUPPORT The generous contributions and sponsorship of foundations, corporations, and individuals are vital to the Museum’s ability to maintain the caliber of its exhibitions, education programs, and public events. Sponsorship not only provides much-needed support for education and the arts within the community, but also increases the visibility and awareness of a brand, affords business-building opportunities, and offers memorable hospitality experiences for clients and employees.

The Museum, again this year, received strong sponsorship support. Meijer sponsored a monthly free day, opening the doors of the Museum to those who might not otherwise visit.

Thanks to funding from Kohl’s Cares, the Museum continued to offer families engaging, hands-on programming designed just for them, through the Kohl’s Art Generation program.

Fiscal year 2016 concluded the second, three-year grant awarded by Kohl’s, which makes possible the Kohl’s Art Generation Studio, Lab, and Gallery, as well as the Kohl’s Color Wheels van, a mobile creation station that visited area festivals and schools throughout the year. The support of area businesses, foundations, and philanthropists further helped the Museum present the exhibitions Larry Sultan: Here and Home, Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School, American Epics: Thomas Hart Benton and Hollywood, Sam Francis: Master Printmaker, and Taking Center Stage: The Lanford Wilson Collection of Self-Taught Art. Popular events such as MAM After Dark, Yoga @ the Museum, Kohl’s Art Generation Family Sundays, Art in Bloom, and Lakefront Festival of Art were again all made possible for thousands of Museum visitors to enjoy, thanks to the commitment of generous sponsors.

LEGACY SOCIETY More than 125 Museum supporters have promised gifts through their estate plans. Using wills, trusts, insurance, retirement plans, or other assets, planned giving donors receive valuable tax advantages while providing support that benefits Museum visitors for generations to come.

The Museum operates without a sufficient endowment and is not eligible for support from federated fund drives such as UPAF or United Way. Most monies received from planned gifts build the Museum’s endowment fund, which is critical for maintaining the quality of exhibitions and education programs that the community has come to expect from its art museum. The current endowment generated only 9 percent of the annual operating budget, drastically trailing comparably sized U.S. art museums.

Members of the Legacy Society enjoy many program and event benefits and have the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping an institution continue to inspire all ages through art, in perpetuity. For information on the Legacy Society, request the Museum’s Planned Giving Brochure from the director of individual and planned giving at 414-224-3248.

financial report

Financially, the Milwaukee Art Museum concluded fiscal year 2016 with a balanced budget and a strong balance sheet.

The Museum does have a construction line of credit related to the addition and reinstallation project, with a balance of $4 million at the end of fiscal year 2016. Pledges from the capital campaign will pay off the line of credit when collected over the next three years. Net assets are approximately $147 million as of year-end.

The following are among the highlights of the 2016 operating year: • The Museum Store, Café Calatrava, and facility rentals saw continued success; all contributed a gross profit of almost $2.2 million, which is similar to the prior year.

• Goals for the annual campaign and membership were met and the level of giving increased approximately 13 percent over the previous year.

• The Museum reopened the Collection Galleries in November 2015.

• The Museum has confirmed pledges to pay off the construction line of credit in the next four years.

The investment portfolio experienced gains of approximately $2.1 million in fiscal year 2016. The total market value of investments was $48.4 million at the end of fiscal year 2016, compared to $42.5 million as of 2015. The major reason for the increase was due to funds contributed to the endowment during fiscal year 2016.

As the Museum plans for its future, successfully accomplishing its goals will depend on continuing to expand the visitor experience, grow its Member and donor base, and build a larger endowment. The Museum has identified several planned gifts that will help build the endowment in the years ahead.
