September 2010
The Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, has extended its name. The institution will be known now as the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. The new name does not signify a shift in mission of the museum but rather clarifies what it has been offering since the mid-1960s.
The High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, has begun a three-year collaboration with Brenau University in Gainesville, Georgia, that will allow for the sharing of resources to further the integration of the arts into Brenau’s educational curriculum. During this pilot initiative, Brenau will have the opportunity to draw on the High’s exhibitions, collections, programs, and staff expertise.
Hunter College, City University of New York, has announced a partnership between the Art Department and the Fundación Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (CPPC) to support the teaching and development of Latin American art at the school. The initiative establishes the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Professorship in Latin American Art and provides Hunter students with access to CPPC resources, which range from curatorial scholarship and archival material to artworks from the collection that will be made available to the Hunter College Art Galleries for study, exhibition, and publication.
The Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indiana has received $200,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts through its Mayors’ Institute of City Design 25th Anniversary Initiative. This program supports creative place-making projects that contribute to the livability of communities and help transform sites into lively, beautiful, and sustainable places with the arts at their core.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California has received a second $75,000 donation from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to help build a sustainable film program at the museum. The first donation came a year ago, which supported screenings through summer 2010.
Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore has received a two-year, $200,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation’s College/Arts Initiative to expand the reach of the college’s Community Arts Partnerships (CAP) program and to determine a tangible, quantifiable link between community arts activity and the seemingly intangible outcomes of hope, well being, and engagement. The grant will fund four to six new community partnerships for CAP, which link art students interested in community engagement with low-income communities, serving an additional 100 to 175 inner-city residents. The College/Arts Initiative grant also will provide seed funding for the school’s partnership with the Gallup Student Poll on data collection and analysis, seeking to generate findings that will support the work of community arts practitioners.
Ox-Bow in Saugatuck, Michigan, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois have received a $1 million gift from the LeRoy Neiman Foundation to support Ox-Bow’s school of art and artists’ residency program, which is currently celebrating its one hundredth anniversary as an internationally renowned haven for visual artists, writers, and scholars. The LeRoy Neiman Scholarship Fund at Ox-Bow will provide student scholarships and support Ox-Bow’s Fellowship Program, which provides studio space and funding for twelve to fourteen students from art schools across the country to spend their summer at Ox-Bow.
The University of California, Los Angeles, has received a $1 million gift from the Resnick Family Foundation to provide need-based support for undergraduate and graduate students in the School of the Arts and Architecture. The funds were contributed to the Bruin Scholars Initiative, which since January 2009 has bolstered predictable, ongoing funding earmarked for student support amid increasing fees and a diminished economy affecting family incomes.

The publisher must submit the application to either or both grant, though only one award can be given per title. Awards are made at the discretion of the jury for each fund and vary according to merit, need, and number of applications. The Wyeth grant will be awarded in late November; the Meiss award will be announced shortly thereafter.

Exhibit Your Work in ARTexchange at the 2011 Annual Conference in New York
posted by Christopher Howard — September 13, 2010
CAA’s Services to Artists Committee invites artist members to participate in ARTexchange, an open forum for sharing work at the 2011 Annual Conference in New York. To be held on Friday evening, February 11, at the Hilton New York, ARTexchange is free and open to the public; a cash bar will be available.
The space on, above, and beneath a six-foot-long table is available for each artist’s exhibition of prints, paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, and small installations; performance, sound, and spoken word are also welcome. Previous ARTexchange participants have found that this parameter sparked creative displays, and the committee looks forward to surprises and inspiring solutions at the upcoming conference. Please note that artwork cannot be hung on walls, and it is not possible to run power cords from laptops or other electronic devices to outlets—bring fully charged batteries.
To participate in the New York event, please write to the ARTexchange coordinators with the subject line “CAA ARTexchange.” Include your member number and a brief description of what you plan to present. If you are presenting performance or sound art, spoken word, or technology-based work, including laptop presentations, please outline your plans. Artists will receive an email confirmation. Because ARTexchange is a popular venue and participation is based on available space, early applicants are given preference.
Participants are responsible for their work; CAA is not liable for losses or damages. Sales of work are not permitted. Deadline: December 17, 2010.

As part of its 125th anniversary celebration, Bryn Mawr College is hosting an international conference to celebrate the empowering heritage of women’s education and to chart a course for its future.

Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968
Sheldon Museum of Art
University of Nebraska, Lincoln, 12th and R Streets, Lincoln, NE 68588
July 30–September 24, 2010
Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968 turns on its head the notion that male artists largely dominated this twentieth-century movement. The first major exhibition of its kind, Seductive Subversion features paintings and sculptures by an international group of artists—including Vija Celmins, Rosalyn Drexler, Niki de Saint Phalle, Joyce Wieland, Marisol, Faith Ringgold, and Martha Rosler—that expand the Pop canon as most know it. Sid Sachs, director of exhibitions at University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where the exhibition originated, will deliver a lecture about the exhibition on September 14 at 5:30 PM in the Sheldon’s Ethel S. Abbott Auditorium.
Catherine Opie: Figure and Landscape
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036
July 25–October 17, 2010
Catherine Opie explores issues of masculinity, community, and national identity in her current exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. A Southern California–based photographer whose diverse body of work includes images of Alaskan landscapes, challenging self-portraits, and urban street scenes, Opie has visited and documented high school football games, players, and fans in seven states across America since 2007. “The high capture, dramatic tenebrism, vivid colour and density of the landscapes are entirely consonant with commercial sports photography,” wrote Christopher Bedford in Frieze, “but Opie’s insistence on recording the endless passages of tedium and readiness that punctuate the experience of a football game makes these images aniconic and elusive.” A second exhibition at the museum, Manly Pursuits: The Sporting Images of Thomas Eakins, is shown in conjunction with Catherine Opie: Figure and Landscape.
Remember the Ladies: Women of the Hudson River School
Thomas Cole National Historical Site
218 Spring Street, Catskill, NY 12414
May 2–October 31, 2010
Focusing on nineteenth-century America, Remember the Ladies: Women of the Hudson River School highlights female artists who were contemporary to figures like Asher Durand and Frederic Edwin Church. Curated by Nancy Siegel and Jennifer Krieger, the exhibition features twenty-five works in painting, photography, and drawing manuals by Julia Hart Beers (sister of William and James Hart), Evelina Mount (niece of William Sidney Mount), Susie Barstow, Eliza Greatorex, Harriet Cany Peale, Josephine Walters, and Sarah and Emily Cole (sister and daughter, respectively, of Thomas Cole).
Experimental Women in Flux
Museum of Modern Art
11 West 53rd Street, New York, NY 10019
August 4–November 8, 2010
Organized by Sheelagh Bevan with David Senior, both of the Museum of Modern Art Library, Experimental Women in Flux focuses on artists’ books, event scores, performance instructions, catalogues, periodicals, and other printed matter from the recently acquired Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection Reference Library. Documents of live, ephemeral, and durational work by such artists and performers as Alison Knowles, Charlotte Moorman, Shigeko Kubota, Yoko Ono, and Simone Forti are included. Presented in conjunction with the museum’s publication of Modern Women: Women Artists at The Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition boasts a full website with images and descriptions, as well as audio selections from Mieko Shiomi’s musical portraits of her Fluxus associates.
Ronald V. Wiedenhoeft: In Memoriam
posted by CAA — September 10, 2010
Renate Wiedenhoeft is president of Saskia Ltd. and Scholars Resource.
Ronald V. Wiedenhoeft, an art and architectural historian and the principal photographer of the Saskia Archive, died on August 14, 2010, after a lengthy illness. He was 73.
Wiedenhoeft graduated from Cornell University as a civil engineer in 1959 and earned a PhD in art history at Columbia University in 1971. He received numerous scholarships and awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Bavarian State in Germany, and two Fulbright grants. Wiedenhoeft taught at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, the University of Utah, and, for twenty-one years, the Colorado School of Mines. He was also a visiting professor at the Technical Universities in Vienna and Graz, Austria. His publications include Cities for People: Practical Measures for Improving Urban Environments in 1981, Berlin’s Housing Revolutions: German Reform in the 1920s in 1985, and many articles (in German) on urban planning.
Beginning in 1966, yearly photographic campaigns took us to Europe to document works of art in major art collections. Slides and images from our jointly owned company Saskia Ltd. formed the basis for many visual-resource collections and enhance the teaching of art history for so many students. A special project in the late 1970s to document all monuments in St. Peter’s Cathedral resulted in an exhibition at the Denver Art Museum, among others. All Saskia images will continue to live on in Scholars Resource.
Wiedenhoeft is survived by his second wife, Emily; our three children, Sonja, Sabina, and Kurt; and six grandchildren.
