THIS WORLD ISN’T AN EASY PLACE. WHILE SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES HAVE MADE OUR LIVES LONGER AND HEALTHIER, SOMETIMES WHAT COULD BE SUCH A RICH, AND FULFILLING EXPERIENCE ON THIS PLANET IS MADE STRANGE AND DIFFICULT BY THE INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS BUSINESS OF JUST GETTING ALONG. THE LATE ALAN RICKMAN ONCE SAID, “IF ONLY LIFE COULD BE A LITTLE MORE TENDER, AND ART A LITTLE MORE ROBUST.” AROUND HERE, WE’VE COME TO BELIEVE THAT LIFE CAN BE MADE TENDER

BY THE ROBUSTNESS OF ART. THIS YEAR, WE INVITE YOU TO COMMIT TO A YEAR OF LIVING ARTFULLY, OF EMBRACING BIG IDEAS AND SMALL MOMENTS, OF SEEING ART AND MAKING ART, A YEAR OF MAKING YOUR LIFE, AND THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU LOVE, A LITTLE MORE TENDER, EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Phoenix Art Museum Board of Trustees 2016 – 2017

Chair Mike Cohn

Dear Members and First-Time Visitors, Here we are at the height of what I think of as the “perfect season” in the Valley.

Spring brings another round of glorious hikes, dinners by the desert, and winter-fleeing tourists. As you know, it is our busiest time at the Museum, and we have a full roster of exhibitions and public programs to entice you downtown.

A common business slogan is to “think globally, act locally,” and the spectrum of upcoming programs at the Museum certainly reflects that attitude. This spring, our major projects all have a local focus while still aspiring to reach a national audience of visitors.

Our major loan exhibition is Super Indian: Fritz Scholder 1967-1980, an artist who was known to some of you because he lived in Scottsdale for many years. Scholder was an enrolled member of the Luiseno tribe and, in his work, he confronted stereotypes of Native Americans with pop-art colors and expressive brushstrokes. Scholder’s work was controversial because he refused to depict Native Americans in romanticized ways but rather as contemporary people, with a dose of humor – drinking a beer or eating an ice cream cone. He eventually came to be appreciated as the most influential American Indian artist of contemporary times.

We have two exhibitions, which highlight some strong local collections. Phoenix Rising presents art from select collections that, for the most part, have not been exhibited at the Museum. The Museum’s curatorial team traveled around the Valley, concentrating on each of their respective areas of expertise as well as venturing into other areas out of passion.

Although curators focus their academic studies on a particular time period or style, they are all art enthusiasts in general and know good work when they see it. The breadth and quality of the works in the show will impress and delight everyone.

Finally, March is Spring Training season in the Valley and, to honor that local tradition, we will present a special collection of historic baseball cards. Ken Kendrick, a PAM trustee and managing general partner of our own Diamondbacks has collected these gems since the 1950s. The exhibition will present 16 of the top 20 cards in the world, including the famous Honus Wagner card. This collection has never been shown west of the Mississippi, so we are thrilled to have the chance to share it with our visitors.

Here’s to Spring…and to seeing you at the Museum.

With gratitude,

REAL, NOT RED ritz Scholder once vowed never to paint Indians. He claimed he was Fpolitical, not an American Indian artist, but he was. He claimed his art was not but it was, polarizing the art world. For every position he took, he also explored the opposite perspective.

Super Indian: Fritz Scholder, 1967–1980, is a groundbreaking exhibition of more than 40 rarely seen, monumental paintings and lithographs by the renowned twentieth-century artist. It is the first to explore how Scholder blended figurative and Pop Art influences to create colorful, compelling, and revolutionary images.

Though he was influenced by abstract expressionists including Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, as well as painters Francis Bacon, Francisco de Goya, and Paul Gauguin, Scholder’s work was purely his own. His art reveals the raw reality of being an American Indian. He sought through his work to break free of the romanticized stereotypes of indigenous peoples that thrived in the American imagination, and instead to paint Native Americans as “real, not red.”

8

EXHIBITION

This exhibition draws its title from the iconic painting Super Indian No. 2, which is one of nine Scholder paintings promised as gifts to the Denver Art Museum, which originated this exhibition, by collectors Vicki and Kent Logan.

It begins with Scholder’s controversial Indian series, began in 1967, and ends with his 1980 Indian Land paintings, which marked a seismic shift in palette and subject matter.

Visitors to Super Indian will be taken on a thematic exploration following the development of Scholder’s style and themes: Early Indian series, pop art, psychological portraiture, stereotypes and representation and dark subjects, all in the quest to paint what is real.

Super Indian: Fritz Scholder 1967-1980 is organized by the Denver Art Museum. Its Phoenix premiere is coordinated by Selig Family Chief Curator Gilbert Vicario. It was made possible through the generosity of Vicki and Kent Logan, Richard B. and Patricia E. Nolan, and Western Art Associates.

Golden Age I

n 1966, the fashion design collection at Phoenix Art Museum was born. With the support of the Arizona Costume Institute, over the next 50 years, that collection would grow to nearly 8,000 objects from across the history of fashion, putting Phoenix Art Museum on the map as one of the few museums in the nation with a fashion collection of this caliber.

Beginning April 2, the Museum will celebrate its storied history with Defining Moments: 50 Years of Fashion at Phoenix Art Museum. Featuring more than 50 works drawn from across the history of fashion, the exhibition highlights masterworks and milestones across the collection’s fascinating history. It will include a roster of internationally-acclaimed designers, including Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy and Chanel, alongside historical pieces dating as far back as 1650. The galleries themselves will be transformed into works of art by New York illustrator Ruben Toledo, who will create original illustrations in honor of the collection’s golden anniversary.

Defining Moments: 50 Years of Fashion at Phoenix Art Museum is organized

by Phoenix Art Museum, and is made possible through the generosity of Arizona Costume Institute, Women’s Metropolitan Arts Council, and Jane Jozoff.

SAVE THE DATE: OPENING CELEBRATION AND PREVIEW April 2 Join us for the opening party and preview of Defining Moments: 50 years of Fashion at Phoenix Art Museum on April 2.

David Taylor: Photographs May 28 – October 16 | Norton Family Photography Gallery

All Along the Border

EXHIBITION

D

uring a period of rapid change along the US-Mexico border in 2007, Arizona-based artist David Taylor began photographing the 276 monuments that delineate the border between Mexico and the United States, documenting each of the obelisks installed by the International Boundary Commission following the Mexican/American War. In the process of his work, and as tensions in the area grew as the zone became increasingly politicized, Taylor became familiar with the region, including the physical terrain, shifting politics, and human dynamics.

The photographer undertook an extensive survey, one that rigorously engages the documentation conducted by Boundary Commission photographer D.R. Payne between 1891 and 1895. David Taylor: Photographs includes the full portfolio of monument photographs, installed in numerical order to form a grid. It will also feature recent photographs that complement and expand upon the artist’s documentation of the monuments. Many of these pictures—some of them quite large—were made in the last few years and enrich the story of Taylor’s experience photographing along the border. Primarily made in Tijuana, these new images are a succession of sketches guided by personal exploration and interaction. The photographs, a combination of expansive landscape views and images of people and interiors, are meant to reveal a space that is simultaneously foreign and familiar, much like the border itself.

David Taylor: Photographs is organized by Phoenix Art Museum and the Center for Creative Photography, in Tucson. The exhibition is made possible through the generosity of InFocus and Snell & Wilmer, LLC.

About the artist David Taylor graduated with a BFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University in 1989. In 1994, he earned an MFA from the University of Oregon. Taylor’s work has been exhibited in institutions across the nation, among them The Nevada Museum of Art, SITE Santa Fe, Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. His images can be found in the permanent collections of The NelsonAtkins Museum of Art, Fidelity Investments, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the New Mexico Museum of Art. Taylor’s work has been featured in The New Yorker blog, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Orion Magazine, PREFIX PHOTO, Fraction Magazine and the Mexico/Latin America Edition of Esquire Magazine, among others. In 2010, Taylor’s Working the Line was published by Radius Books and has since received multiple best book and design excellence awards.

F

or E.G. “Ken” Kendrick, managing general partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks, it all began with baseball cards and bubble gum. As a young boy growing up in small-town West Virginia, Kendrick began collecting on summertime trips to the five-and-dime with his boyhood friends, purchasing five nickel-packs of baseball cards with a single quarter, opening the packs on the long walk home, stuffing their mouths with sticky pink bubble gum. Ken, who grew up playing Little League and listening to and watching games with his father, amassed a large collection of cards that featured the players he followed during the 1950s, some of whom would become household names playing the game he loved.

The collection was exhibited for three years at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Now this limited-engagement ticketed exhibition will be on view at Phoenix Art Museum through April 24, the first time the collection has been on view west of the Mississippi. The Ultimate Collection offers a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see some of the most iconic and compelling examples of trading card art in world history.

What Kendrick could never have imagined during those easy summers in that simpler time, was that those trips to the five-and-dime would ignite a passion for collecting that would lead him to amass the most acclaimed and important collection of baseball cards in the world. Now amounting to a collection of cards in the thousands, Phoenix Art Museum will feature 40 of the most iconic cards from Kendrick’s Diamondbacks Collection, named in honor of the Arizona team. The exhibition will include the single most valuable baseball card in history featuring Honus Wagner, a 1909-11 card that is considered the Holy Grail of trading cards. Once owned by Wayne Gretzky and now the crowning jewel in Kendrick’s collection, the card is one of only 50 surviving copies known today, and is the finest and highest quality example of the card in the world.

“More than anything, baseball was to me one of those great links I had to my father. Listening to games on the radio was something I could do with my dad. When I am around these cards today, it makes me think back to my youth and most of all, it makes me remember my father,” Kendrick recounts. “Today, these cards represent a legacy for my own children.

They represent family stories and family memories. I’m excited for the collection to be on view at the Museum because I hope it can connect other families. I hope to see fathers bringing their sons and daughters, grandfathers bringing their grandchildren to come and see these cards, to share their stories and memories with the next generation.”

The legendary Wagner card is accompanied by an additional 15 of the 20 most valuable trading cards in the world, including those featuring legendary names in baseball, such as Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig, Satchel Paige, Joe DiMaggio, Hank Aaron, and Willie Mays. The exhibition will also include the most recognizable basketball card and the most important modern card from any sport: the 1986 Fleer #57 Michael Jordan, the most legendary player in NBA history.

Along with a string of superlatives, and examples of legendary greatness, the cards represent the love of a game that ultimately tied Kendrick to his father, and today, connects him to his own children.

The Ultimate Collection: Iconic Baseball Cards from the Diamondbacks Collection is organized by Phoenix Art Museum. It is made possible through the generous support of E.G. “Ken” Kendrick, the Arizona Diamondbacks, and contributions to the Museum’s annual fund.

Phoenix Rising: The Valley Collects April 16 – May 29 | Steele Gallery

Phoenix Rising

T

his April Phoenix Art Museum honors the art of collecting, exploring the unique passions and personal stories that drive us to seek out works of art, sports cards, even vintage cars that we simply can’t live without.

Phoenix Rising: The Valley Collects celebrates the art of collecting as it brings together works from Arizona’s most significant private collections of photography, modern and contemporary art, fashion design, and the art of America, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Many of these privately owned and rarely seen works will be on view at Phoenix Art Museum for the first time, weaving together a story of individual passions and pursuits alongside a celebration of the cultural commitment of the Valley’s art enthusiasts.

The exhibition will include works from more than 20 Valley collectors, featuring an eclectic selection of art from the 19th century forward, from paintings, sculpture, and video installation, to works on paper, photography, and fashion design. The exhibition will include some of the most recognized names in art, including never-before-seen works by Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Philip Guston, along with mid-century master Alexander Calder and others.

The art of collection is often as much about the pursuit of an object than its possession. Ultimately, collecting is about the value we find, not just in an artwork’s price tag, but in the meaning it holds not only for the collector, but for all of us. In the end, collection is the story of connection.

Phoenix Rising is organized by Phoenix Art Museum. It is made possible through the generous support of PetSmart.

Human/ Nature T

he work of Canadian artist Edward Burtynsky has long focused on the intersection between nature and human industry, the ways in which human activity has transformed the natural world, throughout history. “To make these ideas visible I search for subjects that are rich in detail and scale yet open in their meaning,” Burtynsky explains. “Recycling yards, mine tailings, quarries and refineries are all places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.”

That intersection is no more evident than in the color prints of Edward Burtynsky: Water, as Burtynsky explores humanity’s increasingly stressed relationship with the world’s most vital natural resource.

Between 2007 and 2012, the artist traveled the globe, from the Gulf of Mexico to the shores of the Ganges, crafting an ambitious representation of water’s increasingly fragmented lifecycle. In enormous, color prints Burtynsky’s aerial images trace the various roles that water plays in modern life—as a source of healthy ecosystems and energy, as a key element in cultural and religious rituals, and as a rapidly depleting resource.

Sometimes elegant, sometimes haunting, the abstract pictures hover between the worlds of painting and photography, forming a compelling global portrait of water that functions as an open-ended question about humanity’s past, present, and future relationship with the natural world.

Edward Burtynsky: Water was organized by the New Orleans Museum of Art. Its Phoenix premiere was coordinated by Norton Family Curator of Photography, Rebecca Senf, PhD. It is made possible through the generous support of INFOCUS, a support organization of Phoenix Art Museum.

CAMEOS: SCULPTURE IN MINIATURE

Before his death, Italian Renaissance Master Michelangelo burned many of his own drawings and sketches, possibly in an attempt to erase the inner-workings of his creative process, the studies for some of his greatest masterpieces.

Michelangelo: Sacred and Profane features 26 of those rare, fragile works in low light, the first time works by Michelangelo have ever been on view in Arizona history.

Showcasing intricate carvings in gemstone, shell, coral and crystal that measure just one to three inches each, this exhibition features more than 170 European cameo carvings from the 18th and 19th centuries. Little is known about the origin of this exquisite and comprehensive collection, which was donated to the Museum in 1983, and is on view for the first time in this installation.

FLOWERS, FRUIT, BOOKS, BONES: STILL LIFE FROM THE CENTER FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY Through May 15 Norton Family Photography Gallery

This exhibition features photographs initially made as descriptive documents intended for a range of uses, from advertisements to teaching aids. Regardless of intention, Flowers, Fruit, Books, Bones explores how photographers use the characteristics of the medium such as focus, abrupt framing, and detailed description to extract, isolate, and describe their subjects.

They direct our attention to shapes, textures, details, edges, colors, negative spaces, shadows, and unexpected angles.

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE AT PHOENIX ART MUSEUM

Almost 170 years later, Charlotte Brontë’s story of the trailblazing Jane is as inspiring as ever. This bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment on her own terms.

Shakespeare’s glorious comedy of love and change comes to the National Theatre for the first time in more than 30 years, with Rosalie Craig as Rosalind.

The best of London theatre comes to the silver-screen in Phoenix Art Museum’s Whiteman Hall, in our latest line-up of National Theatre Live features. From Brontë to Shakespeare, the greatest stories of the human experience come to life.

From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart.

This acclaimed re-imagining of Brontë’s masterpiece was first staged by Bristol Old Vic last year, when the story was performed over two evenings. Director Sally Cookson now brings her celebrated production to the National, presented as a single, exhilarating performance.

With her father, the Duke, banished and in exile, Rosalind and her cousin Celia leave behind their lives in the court and journey into the Forest of Arden. There, released from convention, Rosalind experiences the liberating rush of transformation. Disguising herself as a boy, she embraces a different way of living and falls spectacularly in love.

National Theatre Live at Phoenix Art Museum is generously sponsored by Sue and Bud Selig.

MEN’S ARTS COUNCIL

Men’s Arts Council has discovered that good living and good giving go hand in hand. Founded in 1967, MAC was first established to support the art, programs and activities of Phoenix Art Museum by a group of forward-thinking men committed to giving back by opening a path of access to great art, while creating a community of friends and shared interests.

They say living well is the best revenge, but at MAC, we believe that living well and giving well are the best ways to make a difference in the lives of those around us, all while enjoying ourselves a little along the way. mensartscouncil.com | 602.307.2007 ARTenders | 602.307.2046

LUNCHEON OF CHAMPIONS

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Robert D. Manfred, Jr. | Commissioner, Major League Baseball In August 2014, MLB owners elected Robert D. Manfred, Jr. to succeed Bud Selig, and become the commissioner of Major League Baseball. Manfred, a graduate of Harvard Law whose career with the League began in 1987 through his work with collective bargaining, assumed office in January 2015.

Manfred’s focus as the League’s tenth commissioner is youth outreach, embracing technology, quickening the pace of play, strengthening player relations, and creating a more unified business operation.

Bud Selig | Commissioner Emeritus, Major League Baseball Bud Selig was the ninth Commissioner of Major League Baseball, named by unanimous vote by all 30 Major League Ball Club owners in 1998, after serving in an acting role for six years. Selig oversaw baseball through the 1994 strike, the introduction of the wild card, interleague play, and merging the National and American leagues under the Office of the Commissioner. He is credited for the financial turnaround of baseball during his tenure, with a 400% increase in the revenue of the MLB and annual record-breaking attendance.

Gift Smart Planned Giving via Charitable Gift Annuity

rt and charitable gift annuities have had a relationship since 1831.

A Artist John Trumbull gifted his best paintings of the American Revolution to our country’s first college art gallery at Yale College.

In return, Yale College issued gift annuities, and a new American tradition had begun.

This long tradition of giving is a smart and easy way to support Phoenix Art Museum, while also enjoying many benefits as a 21st Century Society member.

With today’s ultra-low interest rates, charitable gift annuities can be an attractive giving opportunity that will provide you and/or another beneficiary with stable income for life. Charitable gift annuities often result in an immediate income tax deduction. It’s a simple arrangement that benefits both the Museum and your future.

HOW IT WORKS: 1. Transfer cash, securities, or other property to Phoenix Art Museum.

2. The Museum’s annuity provider pays the giver (or up to two beneficiaries) a lifetime income.

3. Upon the death of the giver and/or the giver’s beneficiaries, the remaining principal passes to Phoenix Art Museum.

TYPES OF ANNUITIES: Deferred gift annuities are designed for younger donors. This gift makes fixed annual payments to you and/or another beneficiary for life, with payments commencing at a future date.

Immediate gift annuities are designed for older donors. This gift immediately makes fixed annual payments to you and/or another beneficiary for life. The chart below provides examples.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY PAYMENT FOR A $10,000 GIFT: Age Rate Annuity Tax Deduction 60 4.4% $440 $2,749 65 4.7% $470 $3,363 70 5.1% $510 $4,002 75 5.8% $580 $4,503 80 6.8% $680 $4,965 85 7.8% $780 $5,622 88+ 8.4% $840 $6,058+ The figures above are sample rates for a single beneficiary and are for illustration purposes only.

The deduction is variable and based on the highest available monthly IRS Discount Rate.

WHY I GIVE:

Joan von Germeten MUSEUM MEMBER SINCE 1993

I support the Phoenix Art Museum because it offers so much to me personally and the community at large. I enjoy the various art collections at the Museum and also all the interesting programs, lectures, films, and the great special exhibits that have been shown over the years, Since the Museum is such an important part of my life, I felt that I should support it financially and an annuity seemed like a sound investment for me and a good investment for the Museum.

I am a member of various support groups of the Museum including the Phoenix Art Museum League, Friends of European Art, Circles and The 21st

Century Society. Each of these organizations offers interesting programs and events and where I have met many friends.

I would encourage anyone to give an annuity – either large or small – which will provide welcome support. It is a sound and simple gift.

Planned Giving initiatives are generously supported by our sponsors: Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., Bonhams, Morris, Hall, Sacks Tierney, and Versant Capital Management.
