MAY 2014 THE MAGAZINE OF THE CHRYSLER MUSEUM OF ART GRAND REOPENING COMMEMORATIVE EDITION F R O M T H E C H A I R A N D T H E D I R E C T O R The Chrysler Museum of Art exists “to enrich and transform lives.” To strengthen that mission, four years ago we launched an ambitious Capital Campaign with the goal of providing essential support for “bringing art and people together.” This publication celebrates the success of that Campaign. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations in our community—as well as the very notable support of the City of Norfolk— we were able to raise more than $45 million to sustain programs, facilities, and operations at the Museum. The Campaign has made possible the creation of the Chrysler’s Glass Studio, the endowment of key staff positions and initiatives, and a comprehensive expansion and renovation of the Museum’s main building. All of us are deeply grateful to Campaign Chairs Macon Brock, David Goode, Thomas Stokes, and Lelia Graham Webb, and to the dedicated volunteers who worked so hard to ensure the project’s success. Macon and Joan Brock through their extraordinarily generous gifts, and Macon through his tireless advocacy and spirited leadership, set the pace for the entire Campaign. We are particularly thankful for the nearly 700 donors who stepped up to make a truly transformative investment in the Museum’s current and future ability to serve the community of which we are so proud to be a part.

Funds are of particular importance to the Museum’s ability to serve our community. As a source of regular, predictable support for essential operations, endowments protect us from economic fluctuations and make advance planning possible. As part of the Museum’s successful Campaign, we’ve created endowments that help ensure our ability to conduct our mission and to serve our community across a number of key areas. FREE ADMISSION One of our most transformative endowments has changed the way we do business here at the Chrysler. An anonymous donor was so moved by the changes created by our “free to all” general admission policy that they gave to ensure its future. Their $3 million gift allows us open our doors wider than ever before. Just as the updates to our building have reduced the physical barriers to access, free admission removes financial and psychological barriers to entry. By doing so, we hope that all visitors to the Museum come to develop a sense of ownership and pride in the extraordinary source of learning and delight that is the Chrysler. 6 E N D O W M E N T S k k In addition to free admission and curatorial positions, Campaign donors have provided for the Museum’s future in other very focused areas that map closely to their passions. ENDOWMENT FOR THE DIRECTOR OF MUSEUM EDUCATION AND THE MUSEUM EDUCATION FUND Through an exceptionally generous gift, an anonymous donor will endow the position of Director of Museum Education, and through an additional fund, enable the Museum to offer programming that instills delight as well as learning. THE GRANDY FAMILY ART PURCHASE FUND has long provided needed funds to support the acquisition and purchase of American art. This fund was further enhanced during the Campaign. THE BROCK AMERICAN ART ENDOWMENT supplements the activities of the Brock Curator and helps ameliorate the costs associated with scholarship, research, and publication. This complements the extant Brock exhibition endowment created during the last capital campaign, and mirrors their significant investment in transforming the building itself to better serve our community. PERRY GLASS STUDIO OPERATING AND STUDIO MANAGER ENDOWMENTS PERRY GLASS STUDIO MANAGER Charlotte Potter is a conceptual artist and educator.

We are happy to provide a permanent position at the Museum for the Curator of American Art. The curator brings life to the art and helps us understand the context and times in which it was created. Learning is what this Museum is all about.” - Joan and Macon Brock as the presentation of our Historic Houses.

He also organized exhibitions for the museum’s Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. k MCKINNON CURATOR OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART Amy L.

Excellent curators are key to this job and we are very fortunate to have Amy Brandt curating our modern and contemporary art.” - Oriana McKinnon E N D O W M E N T S IRENE LEACHE CURATOR OF EUROPEAN ART Jefferson C.

He holds a B.A. degree in English literature and a Ph.D. degree in the history of art from the University of Virginia, where he completed his doctoral dissertation on the paintings of the 16th-century Netherlandish painter Maerten van Heemskerck. Harrison initially served as the Museum’s research “Our members are thrilled with this culmination of an 80-year partnership between the Irene Leache Memorial and the Chrysler Museum. It fulfills the founding vision of Annie Wood to create an art collection—and a museum in which to house it—in memory of Irene Leache. We hope that the art and the curatorial endowment will always serve as a living memorial not only to Irene Leache, but also to those she inspired to foster the arts in our community.” - Vickie Bilisoly, President, Irene Leache Memorial curator. In 1989 he was appointed Curator of European Art and since 1993 he has served as Chief Curator. Harrison has organized and curated scores of exhibitions during his years at the Chrysler. He also has published numerous books, catalogues, and articles on 16th-century Netherlandish art, and spearheaded many of the Chrysler’s catalogues on masterworks in the Museum collection. k BARRY CURATOR OF GLASS Diane C.

Wright is the Museum’s second Barry Curator of Glass. Kelly Conway, our first, now serves as Curator of American Glass at The Corning Museum of Glass. 9 “The Museum’s holdings in glass make it one of the nation’s premier destinations for glass lovers. The Chrysler Collection chronicles the evolution of glass from ancient times until today. This extensive collection requires a first-rate curator. Our endowment of the glass curatorship is intended to support the ascendancy of the Chrysler as one of the finest glass collections anywhere.” - Carolyn and Dick Barry T H E M U S E U M 10 E X P A N S I O N T H E M U S E U M E X P A N S I O N Building a Better Chrysler Our $24 million expansion and renovation project, As is clear from the gallery images that follow, each We’ve also upgraded the building with a host of nearly a decade in the planning, provides the Museum work of art on view has been beautifully reinstalled accessibility improvements from family restrooms with a significantly enlarged and updated facility to for our Grand Reopening.

Many of these accessions are Museum purchases selected to refine our collection. Many more are generous gifts of art or, in some cases, acquisitions from donations to our art purchase funds, from enthusiastic friends supporting the Chrysler’s efforts to enhance our collection. Yet other remarkable works are on loan courtesy of collectors who wish to help us celebrate our reopening. With thorough knowledge of the objects in our care, our curators carefully chose works that complement our already rich holdings. And thanks to the munificence of the Irene Leache Memorial, our collection now includes—permanently—many medieval and Renaissance masterworks that have been on view since the Museum’s founding. Look for these treasured works and other notable new acquisitions on view for the first time in the new Chrysler Museum. 16 N E W A C Q U I S I T I O N S The Irene Leache Memorial Collection It is rare that the Chrysler receives a gift of art was to collect works of art—and to establish a museum An illuminated French Book of Hours, richly colored that holds for us such special historical primacy for their display and preservation.
