2010-11 Annual Report - Reynolda House Museum of American Art
REYNOLDA HOUSE MUSEUM of AMERICAN ART 2010–11 Annual Report LET TER from the DIRECTOR Dear Members and Friends, I am an educator, both in my heart and as a leader. at’s why my fih year at Reynolda House as executive director was particularly rewarding for me. In August, staff welcomed every first-year Wake Forest University student to Reynolda House as the students saw for the first time Frederic Church’s 1855 masterpiece e Andes of Ecuador. e students studied the work over the summer with the aid of readings and professors’ podcasts from an array of arts and humanities perspectives. As I stood before dozens of student groups, preparing them for the same viewing experience that fans of Church might have had more than 150 years ago, I relished the possibilities that this inaugural academic experience might create. It was a pivotal moment and the start to another incredible year at Reynolda House Museum of American Art. Among our accomplishments: creating in-gallery experiences to inspire visitors to hear, feel, think, and remember as they viewed our major exhibitions; publishing a souvenir book of beautiful new photography of the historic house; and achieving recognition and funding from the National Endowment for the Arts in support of our multi-year electronic cataloging project, the foundation of a digital initiative to provide universal access to our collections and a meaningful experience for online visitors. Just as our programs and collections inspire people to learn, we continue to challenge ourselves as an institution. I thank you for your support as we employ new approaches to ensure Reynolda House is a place where all visitors are inspired to learn, imagine, and find meaning. Allison C. Perkins Executive Director Right: e Wake Forest Magazine featured the collective first-year academic experience in its fall 2010 issue. On the cover: New Wake Forest University students walked in groups along the Reynolda Trail to view e Andes of Ecuador at the Museum. M I s sIO N / I M PAC T / V I sIO N Mission Statement Reynolda House preserves and interprets an American country home and a premier collection of American art. rough innovative public programs and exhibitions, the Museum offers a deeper understanding of American culture to diverse audiences. Impact Statement ose who experience Reynolda House Museum of American Art are inspired to learn, imagine, and find meaning in the art collections and historic site. Vision Statement Reynolda House Museum of American Art is respected for its art collections and historic site, and its exemplary practice in exhibitions, educational experiences, and scholarship. e Museum is a welcoming place for all to discover and celebrate the arts, culture, and history. C O N N E C T the H I sT O R IC sI T E and C O L L E C T IO N s to P E O P L E In what was only the second such university orientation assignment of its kind, incoming freshmen at Wake Forest University studied a work of art in the Reynolda House collection as part of an innovative collaboration between Wake Forest and Reynolda House. roughout the summer of 2010, new students entering Wake Forest focused on one of the Museum’s most celebrated works, e Andes of Ecuador (1855) by Frederic Church. President Nathan Hatch and faculty members from disciplines across the University created podcast lectures and directed students to readings that illuminated the interdisciplinary nature of the painting. In addition to art history, topics included 19thcentury theology and literature, psychology and debates about evolution, Andean ecology and climate change, and the economics of art patronage. e project culminated at the Museum as 1,200 students and their advisors traversed the quarter-mile trail from the Reynolda Campus to the Reynolda Historic District on a sunny August aernoon to view the painting as Church’s audience might have done originally: swathed in velvet drapes and elevated on a platform, with opera glasses nearby for closer inspections. e event concluded with students joining in conversation with their advisors over an Andean dinner on the Reynolda House front lawn. C O N N E C T the H I sT O R IC sI T E and C O L L E C T IO N s to P E O P L E “Church’s painting did much more than please my eyes; it was a crucial supplement to an orientation that eased my anxieties regarding professors and the curriculum. I guess one could say Church’s brilliant depiction of an exotic landscape ironically made me feel right at home.” —Melvin Washington, first-year student from Ft. Lauderdale, FL C O N N E C T the H I sT O R IC sI T E and C O L L E C T IO N s to P E O P L E Reynolda House completed the inaugural year of a three-year electronic cataloging project that will make a significant portion of its collections available online by 2013. e Museum hired a full-time cataloging assistant to work with the collection files, which include provenance, exhibition history, loans, and conservation records. e assistant also serves as liaison to the curatorial and education staff members who are contributing to the project by conducting original research on selected objects in the collection. Using e Museum system (TMs), the cultural sector’s leading collections management soware, staff created nearly 75 unique object records containing high-resolution images, detailed artist biographies, bibliographies, and curatorial descriptions. When the project is complete, scholars and the general public will have unprecedented access to the Museum’s nationally recognized collections. e National Endowment for the Arts, the John W. and Anna H. Hanes Foundation, the Cannon Foundation, the Arts Council of Winston-salem and Forsyth County, Kathy Mountcastle and Mark Koster, and Annemarie Reynolds provided funding for the first year of this significant project. COLLECTIONS DISCOVERIES I Childe Hassam designed the detailed frame for his painting Giant Magnolias (1904). I According to a letter from omas Hart Benton to Museum Founding President Barbara Babcock Millhouse, Bootleggers (1927) was the artist’s first foray into painting history and his first shi into a muralistic style of painting. I Right: e pair of Chinese vases that sit on the mantel in the Reception Hall are not 19th-century replicas as once thought; they are, in fact, much older. Fahua ware, the name given to this type of ceramic decoration, was an attempt to imitate the cloisonné in clay. Most examples of Fahua ware are assigned to the late 15th or 16th century, putting them in the period of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). C O N N E C T the H I sT O R IC sI T E and C O L L E C T IO N s to P E O P L E e Collections Department started a blog to track progress and share interesting details discovered during the electronic cataloging project.

A complementary exhibition of 17th-century Dutch prints installed adjacent to Virtue, Vice, Wisdom & Folly historicized the tradition of moralizing in art, enabling visitors to consider the connections between morality and emerging market economies in 17th-century Holland and 19th-century America. e Museum focused on making the gallery experience an interactive one for visitors through numerous educational activities: large-scale labels designed to look like 19th-century newspapers that visitors could pick up, handle, and spend time perusing; a journaling activity in which visitors related their own personal experiences inspired by the paintings; a sorting activity in which visitors put reproductions of images from the exhibition into the category they felt appropriate: virtue, vice, wisdom, or folly (the images could be rearranged by the next visitor); a listening station where visitors could hear music inspired by particular themes from the exhibition; and a gallery scavenger hunt activity. “I’m more empowered to see things for myself, and [have learned that] my observations are just as valid as another’s.” —From the exhibition’s comment book e Museum also debuted a new gallery experience, “Looking Aloud,” which encouraged visitors to share their personal responses to paintings. Virtue, Vice, Wisdom & Folly received praise and recognition from scholars of American art including sarah Cash, the Bechhoefer Curator of American Art at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. “What a wonderful and thoughtful show you’ve organized. . . . I thoroughly enjoyed the works of art, the interpretation, the inventive laminated texts for some of the works, and the ‘education’ gallery. It all came together so well.” staff members donned costumes personifying the exhibition title for the opening night preview party. C O N N E C T C O L L E C T IO N s and H I sT O R IC sI T E to P E O P L E O. Winston Link’s haunting black-and-white photographs from the 1950s depict the end of the era of steam railroading in the United states and the landscapes steam engines traversed in rural Virginia and North Carolina. Visitors to the exhibition Trains that Passed in the Night: e Photographs of O. Winston Link (February 19–June 19, 2011) connected to the images in a variety of ways. Nearly 33% of first-time visitors indicated that their main interest in visiting was the regional appeal of the work or their interest in trains. Aer their experience at the Museum, nearly 60% of visitors stated that they learned something about photography as an art form, and about O. Winston Link as an artist. Events planned with Trains that Passed in the Night had great public appeal. e exhibition opening party welcomed 525 guests, and a lecture by exhibition curator and former Link assistant Tom Garver (above right) drew a capacity crowd. Included among the guests was Joe Dollar (above le), who drove from northwest North Carolina to see his old friend Garver. Dollar is pictured as a young man in one of Link’s photographs. C O N N E C T the H I sT O R IC sI T E and C O L L E C T IO N s to P E O P L E e Trains that Passed in the Night comment book asked visitors to share memories evoked by Link's photography. e Museum created a word cloud illustration (right) of visitor responses. One of the Museum’s most successful programs attracting new audiences to Reynolda House, Cinema Under the stars, had its best year yet. e 2010 film series—the Museum’s fih season—featured five classic films by Alfred Hitchcock. It was the cover story of an August edition of the Winston-Salem Journal weekly entertainment section, Relish, and first-time Museum sponsors Our State magazine and Black Horse studio added additional buzz and support for the series. Reynolda House welcomed an average of 380 people each Friday night over the course of five weeks for a total of more than 1,900 visitors. Above: Prior to the Hitchcock classic North by Northwest, the Museum presented Reynolda Aer Hours Does Madison Avenue, an event based on the popular show Mad Men. Many guests participated in a costume contest to win a collectible e Birds Barbie doll, and Tate’s Cra Cocktails provided demonstrations of classic drinks of the 1950s. Watch the mybridges.net video of the event. C O N N E C T C O L L E C T IO N s and H I sT O R IC sI T E to P E O P L E For years, visitors to Reynolda have longed to take home documentation of the beautiful interiors of the Reynolds family home. In November, the Museum made this possible with the publication of Reynolda: An American Country Home Becomes a Home for American Art. Publication costs were paid for through gis from a variety of donors, enabling the Museum to benefit from all sales of the book. More than 500 copies were sold between the book’s debut on November 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011. In late May, Arcadia published Reynolda: 1906–1924, by Museum Founding President Barbara Babcock Millhouse. Based on images from the Museum archives, many never before published, the book celebrates the history of the Reynolda Estate. Reynolda House hosted a booksigning for the publication on June 7, in conjunction with a conversation between Millhouse and Michele Gillespie, Kahle Family Associate Professor of History at Wake Forest University and a historian of R.J. and Katharine Reynolds. C O N N E C T C O L L E C T IO N s and H I sT O R IC sI T E to P E O P L E several images of works from the Museum’s collection appeared in books focused on American art. Included among these were Grant Wood’s Spring Turning (1936), William M. Harnett’s Job Lot Cheap (1878) pictured above, Emanuel Leutze’s Worthington Whittredge in his Tenth Street Studio (1865), and Lyonel Feininger’s Church of Heiligenhafen (1922). William M. Harnett, Job Lot Cheap, 1878 Oil on canvas, 18 x 36" Original purchase fund from the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, Z. smith Reynolds Foundation, ARCA Foundation, and Anne Cannon Forsyth, 1966.2.10 C O N N E C T C O L L E C T IO N s and H I sT O R IC sI T E to P E O P L E In March, Our State magazine featured a ten-page story complete with color photographs on the legacy of women who have shaped Reynolda. Connecting with people through social media continued to be a priority, as followers on the Museum’s Facebook page grew by more than 800, reaching 2,361 by June 30. e Museum also started two Twitter feeds: @SarahatReynolda, authored by the director of marketing and communications, and @WakeReynolda, targeting information of relevance and importance to the Wake Forest community. In collaboration with Visit Winston-salem and Visit North Carolina, Reynolda House produced a 30-second promotional video on the Museum. e video, placed on visitnc.com, received more than 30,000 views through the end of year. C O N N E C T C O L L E C T IO N s and H I sT O R IC sI T E to P E O P L E C O N N E C T R EY N O L DA HOU sE to C OM M U N I T Y O R G A N I Z AT IO N s and L E A D E R s Education continued as a core element of the Reynolda experience as the Museum sought creative ways throughout the year to inspire the community to learn, imagine, and find meaning in the Reynolda collections. In August, the Museum hosted the Lincoln Center Institute International Educators Workshop for two sessions based on the Reynolda House collections, and in March, art teachers from the Winston-salem/Forsyth County schools came to the Museum for a professional development opportunity. student visitors in groups from public, private, and home schools totaled more than 2,500 this year, and another 1,500 college students were inspired by the historic house and collections. In addition, docents led guided tours of the Museum for nearly 1,040 visitors as part of private clubs, national organizations, and international group tours. e local preservation community proudly claims Reynolda House and Reynolda Gardens of Wake Forest University as exemplars of its mission. In May, the Museum collaborated with the Historic Resources Commission on two lunch-and-learn sessions during Preservation History Month. e events enhanced the partnership between the Museum and the members of this group, helping to foster future collaborations. Trains that Passed in the Night featured Label Talk, a program that invited guest writers from various disciplines and levels of experience across the community to create labels for nine of the photographs in the exhibition. Topics included 1950s American culture, the staged aesthetic of Link’s work, the history of African Americans and the railroad, technical aspects of photography and lighting, and a history of railways in North Carolina. e North Carolina Railroad and Norfolk southern Corporation were first-time donors to the Museum when they joined to become Education sponsors for Trains that Passed in the Night. e North Carolina Railroad found great value in their sponsorship through participation in the Museum’s free Reynolda Junction Community Day. Railroad staff provided train safety tips, related games for families, and wooden train whistles whose sound filled the Museum on a rainy aernoon in late March. e southbound Model Railroad Club shared a model train layout, and children used a “passport” to collect stamps throughout the Museum while creating their own travel posters, luggage tags, postcards, and watercolor and wax relief trains. Museum staff recruited and trained bilingual community volunteers to work alongside Museum volunteers to offer spanish-speaking visitors information in their primary language. Despite inclement weather that caused the program to move indoors, approximately 1,500 people attended. C O N N E C T R EY N O L DA HOU sE to C OM M U N I T Y O R G A N I Z AT IO N s and L E A D E R s In september, Barbara Babcock Millhouse hosted a private luncheon at the Museum for National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Rocco Landesman. e event marked the opening of the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts, where Landesman was the keynote speaker. During his visit, Landesman praised the work of Reynolda House and acknowledged the Museum’s recent NEA grant awarded for its electronic cataloging project. Above: NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman visited with Wake Forest President Nathan Hatch, Reynolda House Executive Director Allison Perkins, Arts Council President Milton Rhodes, and Museum Founding President Barbara Babcock Millhouse. C O N N E C T R EY N O L DA HOU sE to C OM M U N I T Y O R G A N I Z AT IO N s and L E A D E R s e southeastern Museum Conference (sEMC) awarded former Board of Directors Chair Debbie Rubin with the 2010 Distinguished Contributor Award in October. e award recognizes a non-museum professional who has contributed leadership expertise, financial support, or collections support over at least 20 years to a museum or the museum field. Rubin, who was selected from nominees representing the 12-state southeast region, was honored for her 30-year commitment to volunteerism at Reynolda House, an association that began when she took the Museum’s Docent Discovery course in 1980. Rubin, pictured above talking with Wake Forest University students, is on the Board of Trustees at Wake Forest University and completed her fih term on the Museum’s Board of Directors in June. Creating a model partnership between a university and a museum was exemplified this year through several academic collaborations, in addition to the successful student orientation project. e Wake Forest Divinity school turned to Reynolda House as a place of academic reflection, as it held both its Board of Visitors and faculty retreats at the Museum. e goal of the meetings was to create custom experiences for Divinity school constituents using Reynolda House collections and exhibitions. staff provided meaningful experiences throughout the Museum including gallery talks and Looking Aloud exercises. e Museum’s fall exhibition Virtue, Vice, Wisdom & Folly, provided the opportunity to co-sponsor an academic conference in partnership with the Wake Forest Departments of Religion and History, with support from the Office of the Provost. “southern silences: Trauma and African American and American Indian Resilience” examined the cultural legacy of “willful amnesia” about historical trauma in the southeast during the 19th century, specifically the internal slave trade and the Indian Removal. scholars from the National Museum of the American Indian, UNC-Chapel Hill, and the University of Michigan joined a dozen Wake Forest professors from a variety of disciplines. e exhibition provided an inspiring correlation to the many aspects of 19th-century American history explored in the talks. omas Hovenden, Dem Was Good Ole Times, 1882 Watercolor on paper, 15 1/2 x 11 1/2" Courtesy of Barbara B. Millhouse While general admission to the Museum is always free for Wake Forest faculty and staff and a guest, fall marked the first season when the Museum offered free admission to faculty and staff for programs and events identified as academic in focus, such as gallery talks and lectures. Attendance from University faculty and staff increased by more than ten percent from the previous year. C O N N E C T R EY N O L DA HOU sE to C OM M U N I T Y O R G A N I Z AT IO N s and L E A D E R s sT R E N G T H E N the M U sE UM’ s I N T E R NA L O P E R AT IO N s A robust program of annual giving—for unrestricted operating funds and for exhibitions and program support— is key to the financial strength of the Museum. e Museum is grateful for its many faithful and generous members who provide important new dollars each year in support of the Museum’s annual budget. In the year ending June 30, 2011, 1,237 membership/annual fund gis totaled more than $450,000 in unrestricted operating funds to the Museum, and donors gave more than $176,000 in support of exhibitions, programs, and other restricted needs. Additionally, the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation and the Arts Council of Winston-salem and Forsyth County together provided more than $190,000 for operations, and Wake Forest University provided $450,000 toward the Museum’s $3.3 million budget. To attract and engage members with the collections and exhibitions at deeper levels, the Museum hosted special membership events including popular exhibition opening parties attracting an average of 380 guests each evening; Night at the Museum (below le), an evening of art, dance, and drama for Reynolda society members and their friends; and a unique behind-the-scenes introduction to collections management (below right) for members at the Benefactor level and up. “Cleaning, Crating, and Conservation: Behind the scenes with Collections” highlighted several areas of collections work, including the experience of being an art courier, layout and installation of exhibitions, and preventative conservation and overall collections care. Reynolda House and Wake Forest University identified recommendations made in the 2010 Cultural Landscape Report for implementation. e Museum worked cooperatively with Reynolda Gardens to clear invasive plant species from historically important vistas across the Estate, including around the perimeter of the historic house. is year also marked the completion of a three-year project to conserve several of the Museum’s most important paintings. Contracted paintings conservator Ruth Cox completed treatment on George Inness’s e Storm (1885), which was the fourth and final painting from the collection treated with funds provided by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. Cox treated Grant Wood’s Spring Turning (1936) in 2010, and presented her work on the Museum’s painting to conservators and museum professionals from across the country at the 2011 American Institute for Conservation conference in Philadelphia.
