Warhol on Vinyl: The record coVers, 1949 – 1987+Jan. 26 – Apr. 10

The spirit of Rock n’ Roll fills our galleries devoted to Warhol on Vinyl: The Record Covers, which offers a unique lens to survey the artist’s career from his early years as a young graphic designer to the cultural phenom-enon he later became. Interestingly, the timespan of Andy Warhol’s career and that of vinyl records are nearly identical. The LP was introduced in 1948 and the following year Warhol received his first

record design commission. Wanting his art to reach the widest possible audience, Warhol became enamored of the possibilities of this new medium that could be mass-produced — much like his later silkscreen images.

Warhol’s taste in music was eclectic to say the least, and his record cover designs reflect his wide-ranging interests –from Sergei Prokofiev to Debbie Harry and Aretha Franklin. The exhibition includes more than 100 album covers, original designs and wallpaper. Warhol on Vinyl: The Record Covers, 1949–1987+ is organized by Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and curated by Curator of Contemporary Art and Design Laura Mott. The exhibition is made possible through a generous gift of Andy Warhol’s record covers to Cranbrook Art Museum by Ann M. Williams and Frank M. Edwards.

Warhol PrinTs from The collecTion of marc BellJan. 26 – May 1

The celebration of all things Warhol continues with a major installation of more than 100 silkscreens, including the artist’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans, Dollar Signs, Flowers, and the remarkable portraits of Chairman Mao as well as the Wizard of Oz. All of these magnificent works come from the collection of Marc Bell. He has collected some of the most enduring and unforgettable images in art. Please see the Q and A on page five between Marc Bell and Mary Bartow.

The exhibition is a high energy installation of iconic images filling the gallery walls. It also provides a great opportunity to tell the story of the screenprinting process with special workshops delving into the potential of this medium. For Warhol, screenprinting offered vast reproductive possibili-ties and did much to foster a renaissance of printmaking in America in the mid-twentieth century that has only grown stronger in the intervening years. As Warhol said of his artwork, “I tried doing them by hand, but I find it easier to use a screen.”

Without question, Warhol was the dominant figure of the contemporary art scene in the twentieth century. He used celebrities and objects of popular culture and made them resonate as powerful icons. He was the supreme commentator of a media-saturated consumer society in which status, celebrity, and branding are driving forces.

2016 begins with a pop with three exhibitions showcasing the late twentieth century’s most influential artist, andy Warhol. as powerful now as they were in their time, Warhol’s works continue to influence popular culture today.

on January 24, 2001, the Boca raton MuseuM of art opened its new building in Mizner Park. We now celebrate our 15th anniversary at this site realizing that it has been shaped by the passion of many collectors, donors, curators, and directors. We continue to shape its holdings and legacy to ensure it is an enduring part of the life of Boca raton. the scope of the Museum goes well beyond its footprint and we take very seriously our role in an expanded cultural campus that encompasses our art school, the artists’ Guild gallery, and our many cultural and educational partners through-out south florida.

We begin this anniversary year with three exhibitions which explore the depth and variety of the world of andy Warhol. no other artist of the twentieth century had a firmer grasp on the zeitgeist of his time nor a greater impact on contemporary art than did Warhol. shoe illustrator, filmmaker, painter, sculptor, photographer, print-maker, collector and celebrity — Warhol is one of those few artists who successfully made the transition from studio into popular culture. he had a name that he designed himself — removing the ‘a’ from his too ethnic-sounding Warhola — he was more commonly referred to, by both strangers and friends alike, as andy. though he did not live long enough to experience reality television, in many ways he anticipated it with his creation of images that both venerated and commoditized celebrity. Mao, elizabeth taylor, elvis Presley and, most especially, Marilyn Monroe became his icons and, even today, they still reign supreme in auction houses, galleries, and museums.

We thank Marc Bell for loaning his collection of Warhol screenprints and cranbrook art Museum for sending their collection of Warhol record covers. Bob colacello’s photographs taken during the 1970s will further place this most remarkable artist within the context of the heady days when the Pop movement took hold.

these exhibitions are made possible by the generous support we receive from our exhibition fund Donors and Beatrice cummings Mayer, Peter & christine raimondi, saks fifth avenue, Boca raton, and media sponsor Boca raton observer. additional support continues to be generously provided by our Members and Donors who are an enduring part of the Museum’s identity.

As I started looking more at Warhol’s work, I loved how colorful it was. I also learned that he produced sets. So now I only buy complete sets, because I believe that Warhol intended the sets to be viewed together, not broken up.

Bartow: Do you buy only at auction or do you have dealers or consultants help you decide on purchases?

Bell: I do not use an art consultant because I know what I like. And I only buy at auction because there are a lot of counterfeits out there. I believe the auction houses do due diligence and check the provenance. They know how to do that better than I do — and their business is at stake in getting it right.

Bartow: Absolutely yes! But just in case, Sotheby’s does have a guarantee to give your money back if you buy something that you can prove is not real. That said, there are sometimes problems with Warhols because of the way he produced his work.

Warhol “paintings” are silkscreens on canvas. The only difference between a Warhol painting and one of his prints on paper is that he produced the prints in editions of 250 each. With his paintings, Warhol used the exact same screens and put them on canvas. So they are absolutely the same images, but there is a huge difference in price.

The Museum’s Collectors’ Forum gathered at the Boca Raton home of Jennifer and Marc Bell on November 11, 2015, to view their Warhol collection and hear a special discussion between Marc and Mary Bartow, Sotheby’s Senior Vice President and head of its Department of Prints. The following are highlights from their conversation:

Bartow: What’s the first work of art you purchased for yourself?

Bell: When I was a teenager, I had a postcard of M.C. Escher’s Ascending and Descending above my desk and I thought it was so cool. About 15 years later it came up for auction and I thought to myself: Wow! I could actually buy that!

I had no idea who Escher was — or about art for that matter — but I had always loved that staircase. So I bought it and put it on my wall. And then I thought to myself, I wonder what else this guy makes? So I bought a few more, and a few more, and a few more after that — I ended up buying 100 or so Eschers. And then I had the idea that I’d buy them all, so every time one came up for auction, I’d buy it. I was known as the Escher guy for a long time.

Back in the ‘90s I had one of the first Apple reseller locations in New York. So I bought a picture of the Apple logo — it was a very colorful picture, and it turns out it was by a guy named Andy Warhol. I hung it on the wall in my office and I really liked it, so I thought again — I wonder what else this guy makes?

As a confidante of the artist and editor of Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine from 1971 to 1983, Bob Colacello was perfectly placed to photograph Andy’s world from inside the intimate world of the Factory and to document the glamorous social scene of Warhol’s milieu and its celebrity denizens. Colacello’s monthly Out column in Interview was a diary of the frenetic social life of the time, from art openings, cocktail parties, dinner parties, charity balls, and after-hours clubs frequented by celebrities, socialites,

aristocrats, and politi-cians. Colacello carried a small black plastic Minox camera given to him by the Swiss art dealer Thomas Ammann that could be hidden in a jacket pocket. Colacello’s candid photographs have an immediacy that staged shots lack. He wasn’t standing at the door telling people to smile. He was in the middle of the action — an “accidental photo-grapher” as he calls himself — catching subjects such as Mick Jagger, Diana Vree-land, Gloria Swanson, Liza Minnelli, Truman Capote, and Andy himself off-guard.

Colacello is a longtime special correspondent for Vanity Fair and is the author of the recently re-released Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up.

Bob Colacello: In and Out with Andy is the first solo museum exhibition of his photographs. The exhibition is organized by the Boca Raton Museum of Art and curated by Kathleen Goncharov.

Over the years, prints can sometimes develop condition issues with the paper; and occasionally, some disreputable paper conservators re-screen Warhol images. That’s the big issue with authenticity in the Warhol market. When prints start bringing in huge amounts of money at auction, it will inspire counterfeits – that’s a problem with any kind of art market.

But returning to your love of Warhol, Marc – what was it about Warhol’s work in particular that drew you to collect his prints?

Bell: It was the color first and foremost, and then his subjects — you know my connection with the Apple logo, but I also love Mickey Mouse and his Mickeys were the next works I bought. But mostly I just enjoy looking at them.

There’s an economics term called utils that refers to how much satisfaction you get from using something. When you buy a car, you could buy a Hyundai or a Kia, or you could buy a Mercedes or a Rolls. You get additional utility when you feel good about what you’re using, and I love looking around at the pictures on my wall. They make me happy.

I could have paid a dollar or a million dollars for some of these artworks – it’s not a question of what it costs, it’s a question of looking at something and smiling and feeling good about it. That’s what I get from my Warhol prints.

charles mcGill: fronT line, BacK nineApr. 21 – Jul. 3

Charles McGill’s vibrant collages employ discarded golf equipment to create provocative work that addresses the politics of race and class. As a black artist and serious golfer, McGill is fully aware that he is very much in the minority on the greens despite the fame of Tiger Woods. As an employee of the Westchester Country Club he came up with a line of tongue-in-cheek golf equipment aimed at a new generation of black activists he considers a little too comfortable with the status quo. The gear’s slogan was “why be on the front line when you can be on the back nine.”

McGill’s training as a painter is evident in the formal punch of colors and composition that recalls those of Willem de Kooning and Philip Guston. In addition to collages, the exhibition will feature video from a performance in which McGill “plays through” Harlem’s empty lots and putts in front of Harlem landmarks such as the Apollo Theater and the Cotton Club. It will also in-clude a life-size self-portrait of the artist dressed in golf garb.

This exhibition has been organized by the Boca Raton Museum of Art and curated by Kathleen Goncharov.

arnold neWman: masTer classApr. 21 – Jul. 3

This exhibition includes 200 photographs by Arnold Newman (1918–2006), one of the most influential portrait photographers of the twentieth century. He is known for “environmental portraiture” in which he posed his subjects in carefully controlled settings that captured the essence of their work and life. Marc Chagall hugs his easel in an exquisite composition of horizontals and verticals; Igor Stravinsky’s face is juxtaposed with the silhouette of a grand piano lid; and Aaron Copeland’s stark profile is set against a rectangle of sheet music.

In addition to artists, Newman photo- graphed writers, actors, and politicians including Truman Capote, Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, and John F. Kennedy, often for magazines such as Life, Newsweek, and Fortune. This exhibition also features Newman’s abstractions, landscapes, cityscapes, and work created during the period he lived in Florida.

arnold Newman: Master Class refers in part to his longtime role as a teacher and how much he continues to teach us even posthumously. This exhibition was organized by the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography (FEP) in collaboration with the Harry Ransom Center of the University of Texas, Austin.

John Raimondi creates abstract and representational drawing as the first stage in the construction of his towering outdoor sculptures. Whether angular geometric forms or fluid organic shapes, his work is united by grace-ful lines, an aesthetic he developed while studying at the Portland School of Fine & Applied Art (now the Maine College of Art) and Massachusetts College of Art, along with numerous artist-in-residencies. To date, Raimondi has completed more than 100 monumental sculptures for public, corporate and private collections worldwide. Drawing to sculpture will present a selection of works on paper along with maquettes.

Raimondi was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, and currently lives and works in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. To mark the 45th anniversary of his sculpting career and to coincide with the exhibition, an illustrated companion book will be available with an essay by Henry Adams, Ruth Coulter Heede Professor of Art History at Case Western Reserve University.

The exhibition has been organized by the Boca Raton Museum of Art and curated by Marisa J Pascucci, Curator of Collections. Drawing to Sculpture will travel to the Appleton Museum of Art this summer, and the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in late 2016.

Jane Benson: findinG BaGhdadMay 17 – Jul. 3

Jane Benson’s poignant two-channel video Find-ing baghdad (Part a) is about geo-cultural displacement, a topic particularly relevant today in the wake of largest mass migration since World War II. The video features two Iraqi brothers who escaped from Baghdad in the early 2000s; one to Cologne, Germa-ny and the other to Sanad, Bahrain. The video begins with images of two traditional Iraqi instruments, an oud and a djoze, as they are split into two parts. The brothers play a duet, originally streamed over Skype, on their halves of the instruments that is shown on two separate screens. The distance between the brothers is poetically bridged if only for a moment.

“I am honored by this opportunity to present the work of anthea behm, Jay Flynn, Jon Perez, Christina Poindexter and Jamilah sabur. employing a wide range of formal and conceptual strategies across a variety of mediums, their work is by turns idio-syncratic, provocative and seductive. these are young artists of considerable achievement and enormous potential. I can’t wait to see where they will take us next.”

– christopher Harris Orlando

“selecting Florida artists was an invigorating challenge. researching online reiterated names of primarily Miami artists, illustrating how insti-tutional support and art journalism is critical for establishing reputation. I learned from this brief stint as curator how enor-mous the task of locating and tracking artists in our community is. the artists I selected deserve attention (and are not friends). their compellingly crafted work is imbued with a singular, perhaps obsessive, intelligent vision — creating a ‘world’ I have never seen before.”

– carol Prusa Boca Raton

“My selection of artists is to show the dynamism of Miami. I moved here twenty years ago and what has excited me is the diversity of the artists who have found their way to this region

and their individualistic take on their artistic production. I can forecast that art historians will have a challenge to determine if

Miami, or by extension, south Florida, has created a singular vision as to what the regional artistic production has achieved in the last decades.”

– edouard duval–carrié Miami

“I chose artists that engage in a critical examination of economic, social, and environmental issues pertinent to the state of Florida. Jack stenner’s video explores the effects of the housing market crash with sharp irony. sean Miller’s models reflect on the formative role that billboards play to command belief systems onto

the population. Michelle rogers’ works disclose the environmental crisis of bee decline and their effects in the

ecosystem. Michael bauman’s and Kate Helms’ installations intersect methodologies of scientific research with specimens turned into commodities. eddie Negron and Marla rosen reflect on artificiality and nature in relation to climate change in south Florida.”

– sergio vega Gainesville

“When material is a primary avenue of exploration for artists, they tinker with elements in new combinations. thick or thin, flat or shiny, the main point of interest for me in a work is if it reveals something differently than I’ve experienced it before — a mark, a shape, a ship,

a surface. the sense of voyage develops urgency and the work flourishes from a deep internal logic. It

keeps unfolding over time and rewards engagement.”

an exPanded creaTiVe camPusThe Celebration Continues

As we celebrate the 15th anniversary of our building in Mizner Park on January 24, 2016, we reflect on the long history of enthusiastic support from a community of art lovers who have propelled us to continually grow and expand. Here’s a look back at where we’ve been:

As we look to the future, the Board of Trustees has engaged Glavovic Studio and Studio Roberto Rovira to update our Building Master Plan to identify both short- and long-term facility needs across the Museum, the Art School, and the Artists’ Guild properties. We are also work-ing to raise awareness of the educational opportunities and cultural programming each of our campuses provides.

By continuing to forge creative partnerships, develop more innovative exhibitions, and engage new audiences, we explore the spectrum of visual culture on our expanded creative campus and encourage a heightened public under-standing and appreciation of the world in which we live.

1950 — The Art Guild of Boca Raton was born as the city’s Library Board holds the first Art Exhibit under the leadership of philanthropist Hildegarde Schene and socialite Roberta MacSpadden.

1961 — Construction of the first Art Guild building commences on Palmetto Park Road. The building first became a burgeoning museum before housing the Museum’s Art School in later years.

1978 — Art Guild hires its first full-time Director and begins a serious program of collections acquisition and changing exhibitions.

When Summer Camp Director Eydi Lampasona thought about why so many students return to the Art School for camp year after year, it wasn’t a specific medium or super-star instructors — though the program boasts many — that seemed to keep bringing them back. “Schools are drastically cutting arts programs,” she shared, “but at the Art School

Summer Camp we encourage students’ artistic expression to flourish.”

Lampasona knows what makes her students tick

— she has served as Camp Director at the Art School for 13 years. There are many more familiar faces around the camp, too. Of the more than 50 teen volunteers who help with camp each summer, 95% are former camp-ers. The two assistants who help Lampasona are also former campers and volunteers.

“It’s wonderful to see these students year after year,” Lampasona says. “They all grow up so fast — but we see them so much that they feel like family.”

This year’s camp season will last 10 weeks, with weekly sessions June 6 through August 12. Students in 2016 can look forward to new classes, events, and a few new teachers — as well as many teachers who have been with the camp since the beginning.

To register, contact 561.392.2503 or artschool@bocamuseum.org.

IN MIZNER PARK

Come get artsy at the 30th Annual Art Festival in Mizner Park! This juried festival brings more than 200 artists from across the United States with one-of-a-kind works for purchase including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, fiber art, photography, ceramics, pottery, wood art, mixed media, graphic design, and art glass.

Art School Director Walter O’Neill, who served as a judge for last year’s Festival said “Each year the artistic merit, skill of technique, and originality of the participating artists impresses us. The caliber of our artists makes this Festival truly one of the best in the region.”

The 30th Annual Art Festival is generously sponsord by PNC Bank.

did you know?

Research shows that young people working in the arts three days a week are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement and participate in a math or science fair, and are elected to class office more than three times as often.*

Last summer, 10% of the students attending Summer Art Camp were awarded need-based scholarships. Donations to the Art School’s Scholarship Fund make it possible for students to obtain high-quality arts education regardless of challenging financial circumstances. * sources: Nea office of research & analysis (Catterall 2012); arts education Partnership (Deasy 2002); americans for the arts (Heather 1998).

When: feb. 6 & 7 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Where: mizner Park in Boca raton

Price: free! admission is complimentary and parking is free in the garages at mizner Park.

Be sure to visit merchants in the Park for festival specials!

“What students enjoy most about our art camp is the act of self-expression.”

AT THE ARTISTS’ GUILD

GroWinG WiTh The Guild

16

The Boca Raton Museum Artists’ Guild has moved quite a bit over the years, to three different locations in Boca Raton and its current location on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. One thing that has remained consistent is the group’s focus on honing their art.

The Artists’ Guild Gallery hosts juried exhibitions of its members’ works 10 times per year, as well as frequent exhibitions at the Living Room Theatre (on the campus of Florida Atlantic University) and Boca Raton High

School. Although earning recognition in any of these exhibitions is an achievement in itself, several members have gone on to receive accolades beyond the Artists’ Guild — and many credit the Guild as a key part of expanding their success.

We asked four members of the Artists’ Guild, each of whom has received prominent recognition for their work, to share their thoughts on how the group has helped them grow as artists.

“The Artists’ Guild provides a forum that encourages interaction with art-ists from a wide-range of training and experiences. The Guild also offers exhibition opportunities in a variety of venues throughout the area, and has given me exposure to diverse audiences. Preparing photographs for monthly Guild Gallery exhibitions demanded me to develop a vigorous and disciplined work flow.”

— allan Pierce, Photography instructor at the

Boca Raton Museum Art Schoolboard of Directors at World and eye,

Ft. Lauderdale, Member and award winner at art united in Ft. Lauderdale, Former member

of soho Photo gallery in New york City

“The exhibitions are well juried and profes-sionally presented — the Artists’ Guild does an excellent job of showcasing the artworks they select. The Guild’s association with the Museum carries a lot of clout, which has been tremendously helpful to me in opening doors with new galleries and opportunities.”

“The camaraderie and creative spirit among members of the Boca Raton Artists’ Guild, along with the variety

of programs, venues and exhibi-tions are such fun and so valuable! In fact, exhibiting my work at The

Guild Gallery in Delray Beach and the encouragement of fellow members

gave me the courage to apply to national shows, and I’m thrilled my

work earned finalist status in several national shows this year.”

“The juried exhibitions are very competitive. During the season, it often happens that more than half of the works submitted for consideration are rejected. For serious art-ists this should not be a discouragement — instead, I see it as motivation to go home and improve my work.”

MUSEUM EDUCATION

meeT a masTer, creaTe a masTerPiece roadshoW

do·centNoun, from Latin docens1. A person who leads tours, especially through a museum or art gallery

The Museum conducts training classes every two years for new volunteers who wish to become docents in our galleries. In June a class commenced and met two morn-ings a week over a six month period to prepare candidates in their development and implementation of group tours. Using the Inquiry Method, docents learned about educational theory and practice, tour-ing techniques and the Museum’s per-manent collection.

“The class is fast paced and provides a solid educational foundation for the docents-in-training,” states Bari Martz,

connections. The participants visit the Museum a minimum of five times a year and know the Museum well. This program provides access to a community resource that they can frequent and build upon with their friends and family.

Currently, the program serves four, after-school care facilities — Flor-ence Fuller Child Development Centers East & West, Milagro Center and Youth Activity Center. The program is free of charge to the participants and partnership facilities.

In 2006, the Museum launched its Meet a Master, Create a Master-piece outreach program for under-served elementary students as part of its ongoing commitment to arts education in our community. This out-of-school program engages students in small groups over an extended time frame to develop

their own creativity while stimulating their visual thinking skills, intellectual curiosity and establishing positive life-long learning habits.

Each week, the Museum’s teaching staff conducts a class that

combines an art history lesson with a studio art project where the students create a masterpiece in the style of the specific artist. The artworks selected are in the Muse-um’s permanent collection or a part of its temporary exhibitions. After six weeks of instruction and hands-on studio experiences, the session culminates with a museum visit.

One of the goals of the program is to develop life-long learning habits with deeper community

Museum Educator and lead instructor. “The Class of 2015 graduated nine students in December. Their dedication and drive to master the curriculum and facilitate focused presentations has been outstanding.”

The volunteers come from all walks of life — former teach-ers, retired doctors, and current professionals who manipu-late their work schedules to take the class. “The class was just remarkable,” declared new docent Bryan Levine. “It hasbeen thought-provoking, thrilling, and challenging. I simply loved the class and am ready to lead tours!”

Look for these new graduates during public highlight tours this season.

vation in West Palm Beach, the paint- ing and frame are now stable and the crackleure lessened. The Sennahauser is back on view along with another important example of American abstract art. The painting, Emil Bisttram’s Flower Forms (1932-35), creates an outstanding pairing featuring two artists utilizing the intuitive and universal properties of abstract art. Courtesy of The Thomas H. and Diane DeMell Jacobsen, PhD Foundation, the Bisttram is an early example of the artist’s foray into the transcendental and mystical tendencies of abstract art.

neW acQuisiTions and loans

The Museum’s Curatorial and Registrar Departments have been exceptionally active as of late thanks to the kindness of area collectors and patrons. A walk through the second floor galleries will yield many new additions. One of the monumental paintings from our summer exhibition, brenda Hope Zappitell: a Journey of gestures can now be found in our galleries. The lively abstract canvas, a Moment of Lucidity, is a generous gift from Margaret Blume.

Over the summer we were approached by a collector in Boca who generously offered to share five Modern Masters with us as a long-term loan. Interspersed in our American and European paintings and graphics gallery, you will find superb works by Jean Dubuffet, Alexej von Jawlensky, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso. Each work serves as a stunning complement to the collections of Isadore and Kelly Friedman and Dr. and Mrs. John J. Mayers.

Each year the curators select works of art for conservation treatment based on need. John Sennhauser’s painting Colorforms in Colorspace No. 5 (1947) entered the Museum’s collection in 2002 with an overall pattern of dense cracking, known as

crackleure. This is a normal part of the aging process of some paintings that must be monitored closely as it has the potential to become so severe that the paint will lift off the canvas. Under the expert care of Barbara Stella of Stella Art Conser-

COMING IN WINTER 2017: GlassTress

Following their excursions in Budapest, several members of our Museum Delegation continued on to Venice, Italy to see artists participating in Glasstress. An auxiliary event of the Venice Biennales, Glasstress began in 2009 with a Murano furnace that was dormant for a century until Adriano Berengo’s vision to challenge his master glassmakers with fresh approaches from contemporary artists working in completely different mediums. The project is now celebrat-ed worldwide, and Glasstress artists will present their works at the Boca Raton Museum of Art in early 2017.

In October, a group of Museum Members had the op-portunity to travel with curators Marisa J. Pascucci and Kathleen Goncharov along with Executive Director Irvin Lippman to the “Paris of the East” – Budapest, Hungary. Organized with the assistance of Eric Brinker and Fruzsina Kacskó Dán, we met with some of the city’s most important officials, philanthropists, collec-tors, artists, and arts professionals as we savored the culinary delights of the region. This Museum Delega-tion also enjoyed a rare behind-the-scenes look at the curatorial process as Pascucci and Goncharov scouted in preparation for next season’s fall exhibitions, all fo-cused on Hungarian art.

Trip highlights included dinner with Edit Sasvári, Direc-tor of the Kassaák Museum, and Péter Baki, Director of the Hungarian Museum of Photography, as well as a

COMING IN FALL 2016: hunGarian arT, a cenTury of reBellion and reViVal

visit to the Ani Molnar Gallery to meet Cseske Szilard, the artist who represented Hungary at the 2015 Venice Biennale and whose installation will be included in our 2016 exhibition. The pinnacle day included a cocktail reception with US Ambassador Colleen Bell followed by dinner at the gorgeous hilltop home of Christian Sauska, an important collector of Hungarian art and the country’s top wine producer. After a day trip to the beautiful Lake Balaton region and the Tihany Monastery, we were treated to a tour of the National Gallery, which will be loaning several paintings to our exhibitions along with works from the collection of former US Ambassador to Hungary Nancy Brinker.

This whirlwind trip was a terrific cultural exchange for our delegation and is build-ing increased excitement for our Hungarian art exhibition opening in October 2016. According to University of Maryland professor Dr. Steven Mansbach, an essayist for the exhibition’s catalogue:

“Perhaps no group of for-ward-seers was more auda-cious than the Hungarian avant-garde. Those artists active during the first third of the twentieth-century, as well as later generations of atists, engaged in some of the most dynamic aesthetic experiments and social activities to have been wit-nessed anywhere, as the Boca Raton Museum of Art exhibition will document so vividly.”

THE MUSEUM COLLECTION

neW in The Galleries

Our Curator of Contemporary Art Kathleen Goncharov has selected more than 20 Glasstress participants along with two new commissions by American artists to create glass installations that incorporate per-formance, video, interactive media, photography, industrial design, and even video games. Together, these works challenge our notion of glass as a “beautiful” material and encour-age us to explore the bold, political, and sometimes less than pristine aspects of the medium. The Museum has already received a grant from the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass in support of this exciting exhibition.

Auxiliary now organizes each year’s program with the guidance of Shelly Isaacs, a highly regarded expert on foreign-language film.

The popular schedule of films — many of which have uplifting messages — regularly sells out. More than 100 subscribers signed up for the 2015–2016 season, which still has two films left to screen.

Q: The friends auxiliary’s annual collectible Treasures sale is one of the longest running events the group holds. To what do you attribute its success?

A: The greatest success of the Collectible Treasures Sale is its support for the Museum. We accept gently used items — primarily frames, art, jewelry, handbags, acces-sories, and items bequeathed from estates — year round, and members of the Friends Auxiliary sort and store the items until the annual sale. The event typically raises about $10,000 for the Museum and its programs. We’ve held the Collectible Treasures Sale for more than 10 years, and in all that time we’ve raised quite a bit of money and recycled many wonderful items!

There are some really great deals every year – as a matter of fact, I purchased these earrings at a Collectible Treasures Sale!

In a smart blazer and Erwin Pearl button earrings, long-time Museum supporter Robin May recently stopped by the Museum to share her thoughts on the Museum’s Friends Auxiliary. In her tenure with the group, she has been a member, President, and almost everything in between.

Q: Why did you join the friends auxiliary?

A: When we decided to spend more time in Florida about 12 years ago, I started looking around for a way to get to know more people in the community. I attended a Friends event and found that they were a welcoming group, and tremendously inclusive – they quickly invited me to get more involved and help with Museum mailings, receptions, and wherever we could be of assistance.

The Friends Auxiliary is a busy group with a full roster of activities each and every season. But what impressed me most when I first joined, and what continues to impress me to this day, is that the people in the group do become friends with one another.

Q: What does the friends auxiliary do during the season?

A: We host monthly general meetings, which the public is invited to attend free of charge, to talk about upcom-ing activities, share coffee and pastries, and enjoy a film or speaker program. We also host monthly bus trips and events, including visits to cultural attractions in the area, performances at local theatres, and special tours of museums, galleries, and artist studios.

There is always something to do with the Friends Auxiliary, and the itinerary changes from year to year. Camaraderie is what keeps us coming back; no matter where we go, we have a good time.

Q: you also host an international film series each year. is that program only for friends auxiliary members?

A: The International Film Series is intended to attract an audience outside of the Friends Auxiliary, who may not be familiar with the Museum. The Series was initially a project of the Museum years ago, but the Friends

A Message from Dalia Pabón Stiller, Chair, Board of Trustees

The New Year marks the 15th anniversary of our museum in mizner Park and presents a perfect time for us to reflect on our past achieve-ments and plan thoughtfully for our future.

It is an exciting time for our Museum. Our attendance has increased 67% over last year, we are steadily growing our reach and impact on K-12 schools throughout South Florida, and we have forged strong partner-ships in the community with FAU, Lynn University, Jewish Federation, Boca Festival of the Arts, TEDx Boca, and many other organizations.

At the same time, we have raised the bar on the caliber of our exhibitions and programs. Art lovers can look forward to exciting new international projects in the coming year, as well as greater visibility for Florida artists. Our lectures, talks, film screenings, jazz concerts, and musical performances continue to sell-out, and we plan to bolster these programs and classes at the Art School as critical components in our strategic plan. The Museum’s annual Gala & After Party is on track to be the most successful fundraiser we have ever had.

All of this happens because of you — our Members, Donors, and dedicated Volunteers. Thank you for everything you do on behalf of our Museum - the best is yet to come!

I am very excited about the debut of South Florida’s newest art fair — art Boca raton. Showcasing contemporary, modern and emerging art, the fair will include galleries from around the world and we anticipate attracting in this first year an audience of over 15,000 to a specially built pavilion on the grounds of the Research Park at FAU over a four-day period March 18–21, 2016. art Boca raton will be a significant asset to our community, both culturally and economically. It all kicks off with a viP ribbon-cutting and special preview vernissage on the evening of Thursday, March 17 that benefits the Museum’s Art School. I hope you will be able to join us for this special evening.

Welcome to our new Trustees, all of whom are passionately committed to the Museum’s future: Marc Bell, Marleen Brody, Andrew Kravit, and Dr. Susan Resneck Pierce.

And, in closing, I want to remember Dani Sonnenblick, a dear member of our Board of Trustees who recently passed away, but whose generosity to our Museum has left an indelible mark. We will all remember her for her love of art and our museum.
