A museum’s strength lies in its collection, exhibitions,
and programming. This year, the Norton was the
beneficiary of an impressive array of works of art
from donors and collectors. Their generosity dramatically strengthened the Museum Collection. We are
deeply grateful to longtime Trustee and former Board
Chair Anne Berkley Smith, who donated two Richard
Diebenkorn paintings and one by Wayne Thiebaud,
all from the early 1960s. They are transformative
gifts to the Collection.
Palm Beach resident Damon Mezzacappa gave
the Norton two more significant paintings by Italian
Old Masters: Lorenzo Lotto’s 16th-century oil
painting Saint Onuphrius of Egypt, and Marcantonio
Franceschini’s oil painting Adam and Eve with the
Infant Cain and Abel, painted in 1705, are now part of
the Norton’s collection of European Art.
The Museum was also delighted to receive a
Claude-Joseph Vernet work titled The Fishermen,
painted in 1746, and an Edward Weston photograph,
Shell and Rock Arrangement, 1931, printed by the photographer himself. These were among 266 important
gifts of art that came into the Collection during the
past year. The Curatorial overview in this report
includes a complete list of art and donors.
Special exhibitions and programming often spring
from the Collection, as highlights of the 2012–2013
exhibition season illustrate. The Norton-originated
exhibitions Annie Leibovitz, which featured 39 of the
photographer’s iconic works acquired by the Norton,
and Say it Loud: Art by African and African-American
Artists in the Collection are wonderful examples of
that. Another Norton-originated exhibition of note
was Sylvia Plimack Mangold: Landscape and Trees, the
second of the RAW (Recognition of Art by Women)
exhibition series made possible by the Leonard and
Sophie Davis Fund/ML Dauray Arts Initiative.
The Museum’s goal of being a welcoming
community resource was (and continues to be)
achieved through year-round outreach and education
programs such as PACE (Progressive Afterschool
Art Community Education), which offers children
in the county’s underserved communities significant, year-round exposure to art, and Norton
School Partnerships, which this year include Forest
Hill Community High School and Palm Beach
Day Academy. Student exhibitions in the Marden
Community Gallery, school tours, summer camp
programs, Family Studio days, and other programs
are also a part of the Museum’s outreach to Palm
Beach County and beyond. A new initiative to provide
greater public access — Free Thursdays for Florida
Residents during the summer — proved to be wildly
successful, attracting 1,000 to 2,000 visitors every
Thursday in June, July, and August. The community
also took advantage of the Free Saturday program,
which provides residents of West Palm Beach free
admission every Saturday, and free admission to
residents of Palm Beach County the first Saturday of
each month.
Now in its third year, the Thursday evening
Art After Dark series — Where Culture and
Entertainment Meet! — continued to be popular with
visitors, residents, and tourists. Most importantly,
it has proved to be a welcoming gateway into the
Museum, leading to the discovery and appreciation
of great art.
Art After Dark programming (and free Thursday
admission for Floridians), coupled with the summer
exhibition Block by Block: Inventing Amazing
Architecture — which featured landmark buildings
made from lego‰ bricks — and the companion exhibition Architecture in Detail: Works from the Museum
Collection, was hugely successful for the Museum,
ending the exhibition year on a most upbeat note.
The result was one of the strongest years for attendance in the past decade.
I am proud to lead a team of more than 75
talented and dynamic people who contribute so
much to the Norton. I am also privileged to serve
an outstanding Board of Trustees whose leadership
and commitment have created so many important
opportunities for this institution.

Paintings and Prints with
its popularity.
Organizing and presenting outstanding exhibitions
and enhancing the Collection with critically important acquisitions were priorities for the curatorial
division of the Norton Museum of Art in the 2012–
2013 season. And as evidenced in the succeeding
pages, the Norton has continued to meet these core
initiatives with excellence. We are also pleased that
Ellen Roberts, Ph.D., joined the Norton as the Anne
Berkley Smith Curator of American Art, bringing her
expertise and scholarship to the Museum.
Sixteen exhibitions and projects comprised last
season, with remarkable examples of paintings,
sculpture, photographs, and works on paper on view.
Fashions and movies of the 1940s were also exhibited in Keep Calm and Carry On. Twelve exhibitions
and a site-specific installation were organized by the
Museum, including four exhibitions that celebrated
the Collection. Among them were Clear Water and
Blue Hills: Stories of Chinese Art and Say It Loud: Art by
African and African-American Artists.
The generosity of ardent supporters was evident
throughout the season. The Museum presented
the inaugural Rudin Prize, created as a celebration
of work by emerging photographers, with an award
of $20,000 to Los Angeles-based artist Analia
Saban. The prize is made possible by Beth Rudin
DeWoody in honor of her late father, New York City
real estate developer Lewis Rudin. Alan Davis and
Mary Lou Dauray made possible the second RAW
(Recognition of Art by Women) exhibition. With their
exceptional contribution to further this initiative, the
serene paintings and prints of landscape and trees
by American artist Sylvia Plimack Mangold were
featured. Demonstrating their enthusiasm for contemporary photography, Muriel and Ralph Saltzman
made possible the exceptional exhibition and
acquisition of intriguing portraits by internationally
renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz. Rob Wynne,
a New York-based artist, enlivened the lobby with a
brilliant installation featuring his own silkscreened
wallpaper, poured glass reliefs, and exquisite beaded
drawings. This was the second lobby project and the
second year of support for contemporary art from
Vanessa and Tony Beyer.
The Norton also presented Legacy: The Emily
Fisher Landau Collection. Organized by the Whitney
Museum of American Art, the exhibition recognized
Mrs. Landau, a Palm Beach resident, for her visionary
collecting and extraordinary philanthropy through
highlights from her gift of more than 300 works of
art to the Whitney. Both Adam Weinberg, director of
the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Leonard
Lauder, chairman emeritus, joined the Norton in
celebrating Mrs. Landau’s decades of adventurous
support of contemporary art.
Exhibitions examining historical movements and
exotic locations were also presented in The Radical
Camera: New York’s Photo League, 1936-1965 and
Doris Duke’s Shangri La: Architecture, Landscape, and
Islamic Art. Surviving members of the Photo League
visited the Norton to discuss the League’s impact on
furthering social causes. Marion Syms Wyeth, who
was Ralph Norton’s choice for the architect of the
Norton Museum of Art, was also Doris Duke’s choice
to create her exquisitely detailed Hawaiian sanctuary,
Shangri La, which was explored in the exhibition
hosted by the Norton.
Some of the many notable additions to the collection are discussed on the following pages by my colleagues who, once again, found exceptional examples
1 0 c urato ri al
of art worthy of inclusion in the Museum Collection.
Through the generosity of the Museum’s support
groups — Contemporary and Modern Art Council,
Friends of Chinese Art, and Photography Committee
— as well as collectors and artists who donated art
or gifts of funds to purchase art, the Works of Art
Committee accepted nearly 360 artworks, which are
now part of the Collection.
For example, the Friends of Chinese Art
contributed to the purchase of two works of art — a
ninth-century white-ware ewer and a late 19th-century silk gauze surcoat that will be in a 2015 tea
exhibition organized by the Norton.
As we look forward to celebrating the Museum’s
75th anniversary in 2016, we are tremendously
excited to add to the remarkable collection Ralph
Norton assembled and gifted to the country with
brilliant examples of artwork of comparable quality.
We are grateful to devoted Norton Trustee Anne
Berkley Smith for her gift of paintings by Richard
Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud, which Ellen
Roberts discusses in these pages. We are also
pleased to add two outstanding paintings to the
historical European Collection: a panel by Lorenzo
Lotto (1480–1556) — rare in the United States —
thanks to the continuing generosity of Damon
Mezzacappa; and the first painting by Claude Joseph
Vernet (1714–1789) to enter the Collection, the gift of
Eleonore and Ronald Bacher.
Photographers from around the globe have
enthusiastically gifted examples of their work, a
tribute to Tim B. Wride, the William and Sarah Ross
Soter Curator of Photography, and his relationships
with these artists. Paul Hertzmann and Susan
Herzig of San Francisco gifted a true masterwork by
photographer Edward Weston to the collection as
a show of support of the Photography Collection,
which grew by more than 300 objects.
The Norton Museum of Art boasted another
exceptional year in 2012–2013, and the Curatorial
Division is proud to contribute to its success.

New York-based artist Rob Wynne creates stunning
and beautiful sculptures, reliefs, and installations
inspired by art, literature, and nature. He created the
second site-specific project for the Norton’s lobby
using elements such as his signature mirrored glass
reliefs. Shaped into large words and mirrored clouds,
they simultaneously appear reflective and invisible.
With this material, Wynne gave form to the title
of this piece. In addition, he integrated the natural
world related to the Norton’s proximity to the ocean
through silkscreened wallpaper and glass-beaded
drawings of life found above, near, and under the sea.
Several works from the Museum Collection were
incorporated into the installation.

The Museum was proud to announce an international
biennial showcase and award for emerging
photographers in 2012. Finalists for the Rudin Prize
were selected by a panel of five established artists.
Each panelist was charged with nominating an artist
who had not yet had a solo museum exhibition, and
whose work was on the leading edge of contemporary
photography-based art. The inaugural panel was
composed of John Baldessari, Graciela Iturbide, Susan
Meiselas, Michal Rovner, and Yinka Shonibare. Their
five nominees were, respectively, Analia Saban (Los
Angeles); Nin Solis (Mexico City); Eunice Adorno
(Mexico City); Mauro D’Agati (Palermo), and Bjorn
Veno (London). The exhibition culminated with
awarding the inaugural Rudin Prize of $20,000 to
Analia Saban. The prize is named after the late Lewis
Rudin of New York City, and is generously sponsored
by his daughter, Beth Rudin DeWoody.
this exhibition was made possible in part through
the generosity of ms. beth rudin dewoody and the
photography committee of the norton museum of art.

nov. 1 , 2 01 2 – jan. 2 0, 2 01 3
c urated by guest c urator donald albrec ht
This exhibition explored the gamut of England’s homefront efforts just before, during, and after the war
years. While millions of British men and women served
in the military overseas, England’s creative class
mobilized to win the war on the home front. Drawings,
posters, photographs, film, furniture, and fashion
illustrated how they did so. Included were examples
of how designers created fashions and furnishings to
save on essential wartime materials, and how graphic
artists and filmmakers produced inspirational work,
convincing the country, as the era’s most famous
slogan urged, to “Keep calm and carry on.”

Sylvia Plimack Mangold was the second artist to be
celebrated in the Norton’s RAW (Recognition of Art
by Women) program. With painting as her primary
medium, Plimack Mangold’s devotion to the realist
tradition belies the aesthetics of the late 1960s,
when she completed her studies at Yale University.
Plimack Mangold’s relationship with the pared-down
elements of that time — the power of space and
the materials of the artist — were manifest in her
canvases, with depictions of wooden floors, tapes
and measures, and, eventually, nature. For the past
three decades, the artist has concentrated not only
on the landscape surrounding her Hudson River-area
studio, but also on the individual trees comprising
it, considering these subjects in paintings, drawings,
and prints. This was the first exhibition devoted to
Plimack Mangold’s meditation on time through her
landscape and trees.
raw — recognition of art by women — is a six-year
project (through 2016) made possible by the leonard
and sophie davis fund/mldauray arts initiative.
raw’s mission is to promote living women artists
working in painting and sculpture.

Paintings, sculpture, photographs, and works on

c u r at ed by c ha r l i e sta i n b ac k, a ssi sta n t d i r ector
This exhibition of the internationally renowned
photographer featured 39 of her iconic photographs
acquired by the Norton. The exhibition shifted the
focus from Leibovitz’s elaborately staged sittings
to work that is direct, straightforward, and relies on
an essential element of all great portraits: a vital
connection between artist and subject. Exhibition
curator Charles Stainback had long admired
Leibovitz’s work, but believed too much emphasis
had been put on a select few images from the artist’s
overall oeuvre — Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Martin,
John & Yoko — that have become as famous as
the people they portray. While the images in this
exhibition were also of celebrities, they are quieter,
more subtle, and, in some ways, more provocative
and interesting than the images that made Leibovitz
a household name. The celebrity of the photographer
had also overshadowed much of her outstanding
portraiture. This exhibition rectified that, shining a
light on work that should no longer be overlooked.
this exhibition was made possible through the
generosity of muriel and ralph saltzman. corporate

additional funding by the mr. and mrs. hamish

In 1936, a group of young, idealistic photographers
formed an organization in Manhattan called
the Photo League. The League helped validate
photography as a fine art, presenting student work
and guest exhibitions by established photographers.
Offering classes, mounting exhibitions, and fostering
community, members of the Photo League focused
on social reform and the power of the photograph to
motivate change. Featuring more than 150 works, The
Radical Camera traced the organization’s interests,
attitudes toward photography, and impact during its
15-year lifespan.

donald albrec ht and thom as m ellins
Doris Duke’s Shangri La was the first comprehensive
traveling exhibition of objects from Duke’s
remarkable collections within the context of Shangri
La, her extraordinary Hawaii residence, and her
personal role in collecting and commissioning works.
Situated amid five acres of interlocking terraced
gardens and pools overlooking the Pacific Ocean and
Honolulu’s Diamond Head, Shangri La is a powerful
reflection of Duke’s lifelong aesthetic passions.
Shangri La incorporates unique architectural features
such as carved marble doorways, decorated sliding
panels known as jalis, gilt and coffered ceilings,
and floral ceramic tiles. The interiors weave
together artifacts such as silk textiles, jewel-toned
chandeliers, and rare ceramics, many collected
during her extensive international travels. (Marion
Sims Wyeth, the architect who designed Duke’s
Hawaiian home, which was completed in 1937, also
designed the original Norton Gallery and School of
Art building, which opened in 1941.) This exhibition
brought together furnishings and objects from
Shangri La, newly commissioned photographs by
Tim Street-Porter, vintage photographs and films,
documentation of the estate’s construction, original
architectural drawings, and ephemera to explore the
history and experience of this remarkable place.
this exhibition was organized by the doris duke

the trend toward representation in painting in the
1960s, as artists sought to move beyond Abstract
Expressionism.
Diebenkorn started as an Abstract Expressionist,
but by the mid-1950s grew dissatisfied with nonobjective art and began to paint the physical world
again. He described this transformation: “As soon
as I started using the figure, my whole idea of my
painting changed. Maybe not in the most obvious
structural sense, but these figures distorted my
sense of interior or environment, or the painting
itself, in a way that I welcomed. Because you don’t
have this in abstract painting.” Mission Landscape and
Landscape with Figure are from an especially strong
group of landscapes that Diebenkorn executed
between 1962 and 1963. Though small in scale, these
works masterfully explore the tension between the
two-dimensional canvas and the three-dimensional
landscape. Diebenkorn later synthesized these
pictorial concerns into his most famous paintings: the
Ocean Park series.
Wayne Thiebaud reengaged with representation
in this same era, as Neapolitan Pie demonstrates.
Stimulated by the Abstract Expressionists he met
when he was living in New York in 1956–1957, he
experimented with non-objectivity, but became
frustrated by its limitations. In 1960, he began to
paint figuratively, focusing on food, inspired in part
by his experience working in restaurants as a young
boy. Thiebaud recalled his observation of “rows of
pies, or a tin of pie with a piece cut out of it and one
piece sitting beside it. Those little vedúta [views] in
fragmented circumstances were always poetic to me.”
Such desserts became Thiebaud’s favorite subjects.
In Neapolitan Pie, he painted the pie from a tipped-up
perspective, launching the viewer imaginatively into
the tin’s delicious contents. Critics labeled such works
Pop art, but Thiebaud maintained that they were not
meant to disparage American consumerism, but to
invoke nostalgia, and to apply the creamy physicality
of paint to an appropriate subject.

The two Chinese acquisitions this year will play
important roles in the 2015 tea exhibition the
Norton is organizing. The Museum is grateful to the
Friends of Chinese Art committee, which made the
acquisitions possible.
This finely potted pouring vessel is covered with
a minutely crackled ivory-white glaze. Various white
ewers of similar form have been ascribed to the late
Tang period in the ninth century, and are believed to
have been produced at the Xing and related kilns in
Hebei province. The author of the earliest monograph
on tea, written between 760 and 780, praised Xing
ware for its silvery whiteness. This ewer’s creamcolored body indicates that it is from an affiliated kiln
in north China. It would have been used for hot water
added to powdered tea.
Suitable attire for a formal summer tea gathering,
silk gauze robes were often embellished with
embroidered or woven squares denoting the rank
of scholar-officials who served the emperor. These
scholars played a critical role in the popularization
of tea drinking as a cultured activity. Commemorative
portraits from the 15th century and later depict
members of the scholar-official class wearing such
attire while hosting elegant gatherings where tea
was served.

R.H. Norton Trust, 2013.14
Cocoon is an outstanding example of the
revolutionary abstract art Lynda Benglis was making
in the late 1960s. It is a simple, oblong form nearly
the length of an adult arm and made from the artist’s
repeated application of beeswax colored by the
introduction of pigments. Its surface is physically
compelling and sensual while, as an artwork, it
hovers between painting and sculpture, defying the
typical characteristics of either category.
We willingly accept the appearance of this work
today; but, at the time Benglis created it, artists
were developing a visual language that eliminated
evidence of human gesture, as seen in the abstract
paintings of De Kooning and Pollock. Canvases
were monochromatic and flat, and sculpture was
geometric, often formed from industrial materials.
In terms of scale, monumentality ruled. Benglis
instead freely explored “unorthodox” materials in
ways that were new while maintaining a physical,
human presence in her distinctive abstractions.
During the same period from which Cocoon dates,
Benglis was pouring colorful latex on floors to make
“fallen paintings” and piling up candy-colored layers
of polyurethane to make a previously unseen form of
sculpture — like a static flow of psychedelic lava.
Benglis’s abstract art has always received
the respect of her peers and her adherence to
color, atypical materials, and integration of the
“masculine and the feminine” has been influential
to later generations of artists. Wider and deserved
recognition was received in 2009 when her work was
the subject of a circulating retrospective. Reflecting
on her sometimes controversial earlier work, Benglis
recently stated, “I was more interested in ideas, in
showing that an artist can be both masculine and
feminine. But, most importantly, an artist is an artist.”
Cocoon is an exceptional addition to the
Museum Collection and the result of generous and
enthusiastic supporters of contemporary art.
In 2011 the Norton presented the first retrospective
of the paintings and drawings of Jenny Saville. It
was made possible by the generosity of the Leonard
and Sophie Davis Fund/ML Dauray Arts Initiative.
Despite her name recognition, Saville’s work had
been rarely exhibited publicly since her emergence
in the early 1990s. Even before graduating from
the Glasgow School of Art in 1992, her life-size oil
paintings of naked women were admired for the
frank interpretation of her subject and appreciated
for her masterful handling of paint. Charles Saatchi,
an advertising executive and one of England’s first
major collectors of contemporary art, purchased
as many as were available. Saville is exceptional
not only because of her evident talent, but her bold
choice to concentrate on the female form and work
in a traditional medium, rather than the more typical
exploration of video and installations of the period.
Two decades later, Saville reinterprets the traditional
theme of mother and child (or Madonna and Child);
again, an unusual subject for contemporary artists
and one that today is more often an example of
serene bonding than a relationship filled with
struggle, as suggested here. Saville’s knowledge and
study of both modern and historical art continually
informs her development. The masterpiece by
Leonardo Da Vinci, The Virgin and Child with Saint
Anne and Saint John the Baptist, 1499–1500, in the
National Gallery, London, was the first reference
for the drawings of which Mnemosyne I is a recent
example. The title refers to the Greek goddess of
memory and the mother of the nine muses by Zeus.

Gift of Eleonore and Ronald Bacher, 2013.20
Thanks to the generosity of Damon Mezzacappa,
works by Italian artists Lorenzo Lotto (1480–1556)
and Marcantonio Franceschini (1648–1729) entered
the Collection. Mezzacappa, well-known in the world
of finance, is an avid art collector. He has donated
works of art to the National Gallery, Washington, DC,
and Princeton University Art Museum.
Lorenzo Lotto is a major figure in northern Italian
Renaissance painting, whose works are rare in
America. Born in Venice, his most important commissions were for altarpieces, for which the Saint
Onuphrius of Egypt painting was originally conceived. It
is, remarkably, the sole surviving known section from a
multi-figured altarpiece that depicted the Madonna of
Loreto with Saints Roch, Sebastian, and Paul Hermit.
Marcantonio Franceschini is a leading master
in Bolognese painting. He was exceptionally skilled
at large-scale compositions, such as Adam and Eve
with the Infant Cain and Abel. Franceschini was a
founder-member and later director of the Accademia
Clementina, Bologna’s first official art academy.
The gift of these two paintings is transformational
to the Collection of earlier European art, as the
Norton has no comparable works by Italian artists
from these or periods. Seen together with northern
and central Italian works, they will provide a better
vision of the development of Italian painting.
Due to the generosity of Ronald Bacher, a
longtime resident of West Palm Beach, the Museum
received the gift of a painting by French artist ClaudeJoseph Vernet (1714–1789).
Vernet is the most well-known of the French
landscape artists working in Rome in the 18th
century. He continued the tradition of both Claude
Lorrain and Salvador Rosa, painting evocative representations of the Roman countryside. In 1753, King
Louis XV commissioned him to paint 15 large-scale
canvases of the ports of France. The Fishermen is one
of eight scenes created by Vernet that were specially
commissioned in 1746 by Pierre Charles Marquis de
Villette (1700–1763). The Norton painting is one of
only four from the series known to have survived.
This gift fills a notable lacuna in the Collection,
bridging the gap that previously existed from
17th-century northern European landscapes to the
works of the Barbizon School.

During 2012–2013, the Department of Photography
added more than 300 objects to the Museum
Collection. While every acquisition is important,
many become pivotal additions by virtue of their
subjects, their makers, the manner in which the
artists have chosen to render them, and their
interaction with the rest of the Collection. The three
objects featured here are pivotal acquisitions.
Edward Weston is indisputably atop any list that
seeks to identify the masters of modern photography.
Along with photographers Ansel Adams, Imogen
Cunningham, and others, Weston was a founding
member of Group f/64 in 1936, advocating the
unmanipulated, full-frame, sharp-focus rendering
of subject matter. Shell and Rock Arrangement, 1931,
is an exquisite example of Weston’s mastery of
both subject and process. His seemingly simple
counterbalance of the radiant white and sharply
spiked shape of the shell against the deep shadows
and rolling contours of the rocks into which he has
nestled it belies his mastery as a printer. Through the
generosity of Paul Hertzmann and Susan Herzig of
San Francisco, this is the first Weston image actually
printed by the photographer himself to enter the
Norton Collection. It ranks as a true masterwork
within the Museum’s photography holdings.
Five Revolutionary Seconds VII, 1997, by English
artist and filmmaker Sam Taylor-Wood, is an
important piece for the Collection not merely
because of its masterful composition and rendering,
but because of its position as a stylistic signpost,
of sorts. The broad panorama that Taylor-Wood
employs carries with it references to the past
in its use of the early-Renaissance strategy of
“simultaneous narrative,” but also grounds itself
firmly in its present, establishing a modern cinematic
feel that would rapidly become the lingua franca of
two generations of photographic imagemakers.
Eileen Cowin is part of a generation of women
photographers who came of age during the 1970s
and ’80s. She, like many of her contemporaries,
balanced her work as an artist with that of an
educator as university graduate programs in
photography became part of the curricula across
the nation. Adam and Eve (after Van Eyck), 1991
was part of a broader series of works that Cowin
made that employed pointed references to art
historical precedents. Adam and Eve is modeled
after the figures rendered by Flemish master Jan van
Eyck that adorn the wings of The Ghent Altarpiece,
1432. In Cowin’s versions, however, the figures are
contemporary in dress and attitude. This print is
the only one made at the time by the artist and, as
the materials used are no longer available, this is a
unique example of the artist’s work.

The Norton Museum of Art hosted fascinating
guest speakers in 2012–2013. Artists Sylvia Plimack
Mangold, Faith Ringgold, Shahzia Sikander, and Rob
Wynne introduced audiences to their work and ways
of thinking. Wynne’s and Mangold’s programs were
videotaped for display in the galleries. Chinese painting master Li Huayi demonstrated his art by unrolling
mulberry paper on the Theater floor and painting a
landscape before a rapt audience.
To help public schools overcome a major hurdle
in scheduling field trips, the Norton funded busing
for Title-1 school students to the Museum. Thanks to
generous support, the Museum hosted thousands of
children for educational tours last spring after Palm
Beach County School District funding for transportation was exhausted. The Museum will continue
to ensure that as many students as possible have
first-hand experiences with art.
New partnerships with Forest Hill Community
High School and Palm Beach Day Academy developed integrated lessons with teachers at both ends of
the k–12 spectrum, linking the visual arts to themes
in Advanced Placement English Composition and
kindergarten learning. With support from Muriel
and Ralph Saltzman, the Forest Hill Museum as a
Classroom program culminated in student presentations on Norton artworks, while the kindergarten
program resulted in a mural and school assembly.
The Norton’s Progressive Afterschool Art
Community Education (PACE) program continued
to support young people year round in underserved
areas of the community. In a special workshop at
the Salvation Army Aftercare program in West
Palm Beach, students created a community garden.
The results, including plantings, paths, and student
sculptures, received great support from the neighborhood. PACE instructors also hosted student exhibitions at six sites, including the Boys and Girls Club
and the Police Athletic League.
Art After Dark, the Museum’s Thursday night program, attracted large audiences all year. Live music
filled the Atrium and Theater, docent-led tours and
Curators’ Conversations drew standing-room-only
audiences, and Free Thursdays for Florida Residents
introduced new visitors to the Museum all summer.
Thanks to the West Palm Beach Chapter of The Links,
Inc., the community reception for the opening of Say
it Loud: Art by African and African-American Artists
in the Collection attracted more than 600 guests; a
Block Party featuring artist Dan Parker drew more
than 1,000 visitors.
Long-standing programs were revitalized. The
Summer Camp program hosted more than 1,350
children from around Palm Beach County. They
visited Block by Block: Inventing Amazing Architecture,
learning about skyscrapers and engineering through
simple hands-on projects. The Summer Intern
program served four college students whose professionalism and commitment ensured their success in
the program. A Closer Look talks integrated gallery
discussions of great artworks with power-point
presentations that placed them in historical context. In conjunction with Legacy: The Emily Fisher
Landau Collection, a subscription-based class titled
Contemporary Art 101 introduced participants to
contemporary art through conversations with curators, collectors, and art dealers.

More than 1,250 members and visitors heard exhibition lectures on topics ranging from the Buddhist
cave temples of China to first-hand accounts of life
in London during the Blitz, participation in the Photo
League, as well as the thoughts of contemporary
artists on their art. Speakers included Rob Wynne,
Donald Albrecht, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Barry

m arion sim s w y eth: an arc hitecture tour
With more than 430 subscribers, the 2013 ArtSpeaks
luncheon/lecture series drew enthusiastic responses
for each of the five authors of recent books on art
and design. Speakers included Carol Troyen, Kristin
and Roger Servison Curator Emerita of American
Paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, who
spoke about the revival of interest in American realist
George Bellows; and Tom Mellins, independent
curator, who engaged audiences in a wonderful tour
of Doris Duke’s Shangri La, its design, rooms, and
gardens. Proceeds from ArtSpeaks support museum
programs for children.
This event celebrated the architect who designed
Doris Duke’s Shangri La, as well as so many
memorable buildings in Palm Beach. Dr. Jane Day,
president of Research Atlantica, Inc., led this limitedenrollment tour, beginning with an introductory talk

In addition to regular programming at Art After
Dark, Curators’ Conversations were a popular draw,
providing visitors with a chance to speak directly with
curators who shape our exhibitions and collections.
The sessions were so popular during the Masterpiece
of the Month program (May through October), that
each curator offered two presentations per night.

Scott Eyman returned for a third-annual
exhibition-related film series. This year’s program
addressed British films in relation to the special
exhibition Keep Calm and Carry On. Eyman introduced
films such as In Which We Serve (1942) and Hope and
Glory (1987), and followed each screening with an
insightful commentary.

This new program replaced the long-running
Treasure of the Month, offering members and visitors
the opportunity to discuss a single artwork in the
galleries with Education staff, and then adjourn to the
Theater for a contextual presentation on the selected
work. More than 400 participants engaged in these
dialogues regarding works ranging from Teresita
Fernandez’s Nocturnal to Lorenzo Lotto’s St. Onuphrius
in Egypt.
This limited-enrollment subscription series offered
50 members and visitors the opportunity to explore
issues in contemporary art from multiple viewpoints.
Each program included a staff-led discussion in the
galleries, as well as a visit with community members
intimately involved with the art world, including collector Jerry Fine, art dealers Sarah Gavlak and Holden
Luntz, and William and Sarah Ross Soter Curator of
Photography Tim B. Wride.

More than 600 music fans enjoyed concerts ranging
from a Latin American guitar repertoire to flute and
piano duets. In addition to the Live! At the Norton
concert series, this year’s musical offerings included
two special programs hosted in conjunction with the
Palm Beach Symphony on Thursday nights, featuring
a marvelous harp, flute, and viola trio, as well as the
dynamic piano duo Anderson & Roe.
p ublic , college, and adult group tours
Docent-led tours are at the core of the Museum’s
educational mission, reaching more than 10,000
adult visitors each year. Privately scheduled group
tours attracted many to the special exhibitions and
the Museum Collection this year, and these groups
often booked lunches and stayed throughout the
day. College professors also scheduled tours for their
students on subjects from art history to engineering.
ArtVentures tours at 2 pm offered the public a conversational look at major artworks in the Museum.
Lunchtime Lecture Tours at 12:30 pm provided a
30-minute tour format during the season. Art After
Dark tours at 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm were so popular
that two docents were required for each one. Special
Exhibition Tours during the height of the season
guided visitors through major exhibitions, while
French Language Tours, offered in conjunction with
the Multilingual Language & Cultural Society, were
a popular addition on the second Saturday of the
month, November through April.
digital m edia in the galleries
In 2012–2013, the Norton produced two original
videos for display in the Museum to enrich visitors’
experiences of Rob Wynne’s lobby installation piece
and Sylvia Plimack Mangold’s exhibition of landscapes and trees. These videos featured excerpts
from the artists’ appearances at the Museum in
conjunction with their exhibitions. Curatorial and
design staff produced popular iPad programs for
numerous installations, including Middle East and
Middle Kingdom and Block by Block: Inventing Amazing
Architecture. Between March 21 and Sept. 26, 2013,
1,920 visitors made more than 4,300 cell phone tour
calls in the Doris Duke’s Shangri La and Architecture in
Detail exhibitions.

Thursday Evenings
Since extending hours every Thursday evening to 9
pm in early 2011, the Museum has attracted a diverse
audience to a varied menu of cultural programs. Live
music by an eclectic range of musicians and bands
set the tone for a lively evening every week at Art
After Dark. Artists’ talks and gallery tours by curators
and docents provided fascinating insights into the
history and context of artworks on view. Fratelli
Lyon offered wine tastings and a growing variety
of culinary events, as well as a terrific menu in the
café. Films, DIY art projects, and many other activities made Art After Dark the place “where culture
and entertainment meet.” A few special evenings
included:
novembe r 8: A tribute to World War II veterans in
conjunction with Keep Calm and Carry On.

Children and their parents participate in thematic
gallery talks and create their own related artworks
at Family Studio one Saturday each month. Up to 25
children, ages 5 to 12, learned about diverse artists
and artforms — and express their own creativity — at
each session. A materials fee covered the cost of art
supplies for each student. Between October 2012 and
August 2013, 229 children participated.

diy art projects
On the first Saturday of every month through May
2013, and several Thursday nights throughout the
summer, the Education Department hosted DIY Art
Projects in which children and their families could
take a self-guided tour and create hands-on art projects related to special exhibitions and featured works
in the Museum Collection. DIY Art Projects proved
particularly successful at Art After Dark during the
summer, when family participation is especially high.
j u st for k ids! g alle ry a rt ca r ds
This past summer, the Education Department introduced Gallery Art Cards in three galleries and labels
for children in a fourth gallery. The Art Cards featured
questions and games to engage children with older
family members in looking closely and exploring their
own responses to artworks on view. Cards in the
Delacorte Gallery, the Chinese Galleries, and the Kohl
Gallery proved to be particularly engaging.

On Nov. 3, 2012, the Museum collaborated with
the Palm Beach County Library System to host the
annual Families Reading Together Kick-Off event with
children’s author Bob Raszka. This community event,
featuring a reading and discussion by the author
of children’s art books, attracted more than 400
visitors. The Holiday Family Festival on Dec. 2, 2012,
was a great success, offering more than 900 visitors
an array of programs, including holiday music, dance
performances by marvelous community groups, a
magic show, face painting, a Museum Collection
treasure hunt, tours, and a visit by Santa Claus. The
eighth-annual Chinese Moon Festival Celebration,
held on Sept. 21, 2013, drew more than 500 visitors
to Curator’s Conversations and special tours; an
Imperial Palace Building workshop with artist Dan
Parker; a concert of music from the Qing dynasty by
the Ann Yao Trio; and a reception featuring green tea

reinforcing age-appropriate curricular goals related to
specific disciplines such as history, writing, math, and
the sciences, and broader education initiatives, such
as the students’ development of critical-thinking

bu sing for title-1 st u de n t to u r s
Due to the challenges regarding public school funding, and thanks to generous support, in 2012-2013
the Norton Museum of Art began to cover the cost of
busing students from Title-1 schools to the Museum
for tours. Palm Beach County Title-1 schools represent about 60 percent of the Museum’s school tour
audience per year. The Museum’s funding kicks in
when the school district notifies the community that
their own field trip resources are depleted. This initiative allowed thousands of children — who otherwise
would not have been able to do so — to experience
the Museum last spring.

To make the Museum’s Collection and special
exhibitions accessible in the classroom, Teacher
Resource Packets are available online to all teachers,
and specifically to those who book class tours of the
Museum. Teacher resources are developed according
to specific themes related to classroom learning and
national standards, as well as the Museum Collection
and special exhibitions.
The Museum as Classroom project with Forest Hill
Community High School in West Palm Beach began
in 2012. This initiative drew upon what educators had
learned from the Norton School Partnerships (20042011) and, in close collaboration with principal Mary
Stratos, focused on 40 students in two Advanced
Placement English Composition classes at the Title-1
school. Through repeated meetings at the Museum
and educators’ visits to the classrooms, students
were able to select an artist, research their lives and
their painting or sculpture in the Collection, select
other examples of the artist’s work that they liked,
then select a literary work that corresponded with the
visual works. At the end of the year, these students
presented their research to student colleagues,
teachers, and families in power-point presentations at the Museum. As part of the program, the
school received computers for student research,
and students were provided with memberships to
the Museum and met art collectors and program
supporters Muriel and Ralph Saltzman. This program
is set to expand in 2012–2013.
In summer 2011, Palm Beach Day Academy invited
the Museum to partner with the Academy’s Lower
School to engage kindergarten and elementary
school students in learning at the Museum.
Throughout the year, the entire kindergarten class
visited the Museum several times. They met with
docents to learn about art and how Museums are
a part of their community. The culmination of the
program took place during a school assembly, where
students presented two marvelous murals and a skyscraper sculpture based on the Museum’s New York
Mural by Stuart Davis. As preparations ensued for a
second year of the program, Norton educators led
professional development sessions for Palm Beach
Day Academy faculty members, as well as teachers
and staff from other private schools in the area.

The Museum offers free professional development
sessions for teachers and administrators throughout
the year. In 2012–2013, 187 teachers and administrators took part in meetings and workshops at the
Museum, where they learned ways to incorporate
the visual arts into classroom teaching. Through
hands-on workshops and discussion-based gallery
sessions, teachers were encouraged to see the fundamental role the arts can play in engaging students.

For several years, the Museum has hosted meetings

board of trustees
The addition of five new, energetic, and passionate
members to the Board of Directors brought the
number of Trustees to 30, giving the Museum one of
the strongest Boards it has had in some time. We are
thrilled that this group will steer the institution into
the future.
Two annual offsite Trustee meetings have become
wonderful opportunities for Board members to
get better acquainted with one another as well as
visit other public and private collections, explore
first-hand the role that other museums play in their
communities, and see artists at work in their studios.
This past year, the May Board meeting was held
in Chicago, where a number of extraordinary private
collectors opened their homes for rare glimpses of
remarkable art. Norton Trustees take an active role
in planning these trips, helping to ensure that their
fellow Board members and their spouses have a truly
intimate look at the cultural life of world-class cities,
and unique access to the best that these great metropolitan centers have to offer. Thanks to the efforts of
Nicki and Ira Harris, this trip was perfect in every way.
The Art Institute of Chicago, with its new Modern
wing by Renzo Piano, was the site of a private tour led
by James Rondeau, the Frances and Thomas Dittmer
Chair and Curator of Contemporary Art. The group
also learned about the development of Millennium
Park and the stunning Frank Gehry-designed
Pritzker Pavilion. New Trustee Bruce Gendelman, an
accomplished photographer, tirelessly recorded the
highlights of this memorable trip. Artist Nick Cave
welcomed the Trustees to his magical home and
studio to see the creation of his Soundsuits.
In October, the Board reconvened, this time
in New York, where Trustees were hosted by Gil
Maurer and The Hearst Corporation at the stunning
new Hearst Tower, designed by Foster + Partners. In
addition to a presentation of the most recent plans
by Foster + Partners for the Norton, Trustees took
advantage of a perfect fall weekend to visit two
important public collections: Dia Beacon and the
Storm King Art Center. The visit also included a private viewing of the remarkable home and collection
of Beth Rudin DeWoody, who shared with the group
her approach to collecting, and living with, a dizzying
array of art and objects. A dinner at the historic
Links Club, hosted by Peter and Barbara Georgescu,
honored departing Board Chair Kemp Stickney and
recognized the long and dedicated service of Graham
Russell, who arranged and managed Trustee travel
for many years.

development
One measure of a museum’s importance is the
strength of the support it receives from its benefactors. By this measure, the Norton’s sponsors have
continued to ensure that the institution maintains
and expands its role and relevance as an important
national and international institution.
The generous bequest from Valerie Delacorte
provided the Norton with invaluable unrestricted
funds for its operations. Corporate backing is increasingly important to promote the Norton’s message,
and we are proud to note that BMO Private Bank and
Wilmington Trust each contributed sponsorships to
two of the Museum’s most significant exhibitions in
the past year. PNC Wealth Management and Wells
Fargo Private Bank provided programming assistance.
Thanks to these institutions and additional corporate
partners, support for the Norton increased more than
40 percent over the previous year.
Foundation contributions also grew. Major grants
from the Leonard and Sophie David Fund/MLDauray
Arts Initiative and from the Addison Hines Charitable
Trust resulted in a 16 percent increase in foundation
grants. Every aspect of the Museum’s programming,
from underwriting of exhibitions to support of the
Norton’s popular Thursday evening Art After Dark
program, was backed by foundation grants.
In addition, individual benefactors played a crucial
role in supplying the Museum with resources for
expanding collections, mounting exhibitions, and
furnishing educational and community programming.
This essential support from individuals allowed
the Norton’s three signature fundraising events to
exceed their respective goals. The Annie Leibovitz
Exhibition Gala, chaired by Tracy Smith, premiered
39 of the Norton’s newly acquired photographs by
the renowned photographer. Guests were treated
to a tour of the exhibition by Ms. Leibovitz, who
provided commentary on her art. The annual Bal
des Arts, led by Lori Gendelman, Nicki Harris, and
David Ober, provided an elegant evening of dinner,
dancing, and conversation. To the delight of many,
BIJOUX!, the contemporary art jewelry exhibition and
sale, returned for a second year. Chaired by Donna
Schneier, this event included 49 international artists
and attracted jewelry enthusiasts from across the
country to the Norton. We are grateful for the work
of Trustees and Volunteers who made these events
outstanding successes.
This has been a year of change in the development office. We bid farewell to Graham Russell, who
retired after serving the Norton admirably in a variety
of capacities for 25 years. I joined the Museum as
Deputy Director for Development in March, also
assuming responsibility for Membership and Special
Events. Plans are already under way to strengthen
all these revenue-generating departments to help
provide a solid foundation and future for the Norton
Museum of Art.

Exhibition Gala
Bal des Arts
The Norton Museum of Art feted iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz, who made a special appearance
at a dinner held in her honor at the Museum. The
gala evening, chaired by Palm Beacher Tracy Smith,
drew more than 250 patrons and special friends of
the Museum, who came to view the collection of 39
recently acquired portraits by Leibovitz. The evening
began with a VIP champagne reception with the
artist, who led a riveted audience through the exhibition with Assistant Director and exhibition Curator
Charles Stainback. Leibovitz regaled the crowd with
anecdotes about the photographs and her career. The
dinner, attended by gala sponsors, was held in the
Museum’s grand entry hall, which was transformed
into a stylish, intimate dining venue.
This year, the Museum hosted an artful adaptation
of its Bal des Arts. Attendees were transported to
the Palm Beach home of Bridget and Bill Koch for
cocktails and a tour of the Kochs’ outstanding art
collection. Once back at the Museum, guests sipped
champagne as they toured the recently opened Annie
Leibovitz exhibition with Assistant Director Charles
Stainback. The evening continued with a magnificent dinner and entertainment by the Alex Donner
Band. This event exceeded its goals, raising critical
funds for the Museum’s collections, exhibitions, and
programs. The Bal des Arts Committee included Lori
Gendelman, Nicki Harris, and David Ober.

Committees
To help the Norton fulfill its mission, the Museum
has a number of valuable committees comprised of
Trustees, docents, staff, and volunteers experienced
in their fields. The Works of Art Committee (WOAC)
is one of the most prestigious on which to serve
because of its paramount responsibility — acquiring
artwork for the Collection.
“The Committee is charged with the stewardship of the Norton’s most important asset — its art
Collection — now and in the future,” explains WOAC
Chair Gil Maurer. “Our primary charge is to adopt
and pursue policies and objectives that assure the
Collection is as relevant and significant in 2050 and
2075 as it is today.” The Committee, which relies
heavily on the recommendations of Norton curators,
is also responsible for reviewing loan requests from
other museums.
While WOAC works diligently to enhance the
Collection by acquiring iconic pieces from the past, it
is eager to acquire the work of living artists who may
become art world icons of the 21st century.
To serve on the committee, which meets four
times during the season, one must be invited, and,
says Maurer, meet three criteria: “Have a love of art,
a curious eye, and a spirit of generosity.”
The Contemporary and Modern Art Council,
Friends of Chinese Art, and Photography Committee
are auxiliaries of the Works of Art Committee.

Young Friends
of the Norton
The Young Friends of the Norton is a dynamic group
of young professionals in their 20s to 40s who seek
to promote and advance the appreciation of, and
participation in, the visual arts. Each season, the
Young Friends of the Norton present exciting events
that bring young professionals together.
The Young Friends of the Norton enjoyed a
successful 2012–2013 season, which began with
a kick-off cocktail party at the Museum, featuring
a curator-led tour of the inaugural Rudin Prize for
Emerging Photographers exhibition. Young Friends
raised funds to acquire for the Museum Collection
work by Los Angeles-based artist and Rudin Prize
recipient Analia Saban.
The momentum continued with the Holiday Party,
a celebration of Doris Duke-inspired fashion at Gypsy
on Palm Beach, a private event at Art Palm Beach,
and A Midseason Night’s Dream at Arcature Fine
Art. At the Museum, Young Friends enjoyed special,
reduced-price tickets to the Annie Leibovitz Exhibition
Opening Gala and the annual Bal des Arts, as well as
cocktail parties and curator-led tours celebrating the
opening of special exhibitions.
the young friends 2012–2013 season was generously
underwritten in part by applied advertising
solutions inc., bulldog marketing, lila photo, palm
beach proper, and palm beach young society.

The media’s heightened interest in the Norton
continued in 2012-2013. Hispanic TV station Azteca
America (an affiliate of wpec News 12) covered the
Museum for the first time. Jupiter magazine and the
Boca Observer, among others, gave the Norton more
coverage than in previous years.
South Florida’s major dailies, The Palm Beach Post,
Sun-Sentinel, Miami Herald; weeklies New Times and
Florida Weekly; monthly, bi-monthly, and quarterly
publications such as BOCA magazine, City & Shore,
ArtsPaper, and Art & Culture continued to highlight
the Norton on a regular basis. In addition to frequent
exhibition coverage, local, regional, and national
media devoted substantial space to the 2012 hiring
of Deputy Director James Brayton Hall and of Ellen
Roberts, Harold and Anne Berkley Smith Curator of
American Art.
The Museum enjoyed TV exposure on all four
Palm Beach County network affiliates — wptv (nbc),
wpec (cbs), wpbf (abc), and fox 29 — with coverage of the openings of the Annie Leibovitz and Block
by Block: Inventing Amazing Architecture exhibitions,
and the annual September closing to prepare for the
coming season. Miami Public television station
wpbt 2 broadcast an interview with Leibovitz.
Miami npr station wlrn (91.3 fm) devoted an
entire episode of its weekly Arts Beat program to
an interview with Annie Leibovitz recorded at the
Museum. Norton staff continued to appear with
regularity on the Clear Channel and Palm Beach
Broadcasting radio networks’ Sunday public affairs
programs (and in psas), discussing special exhibitions, pace outreach programs, and Art After Dark.
The Museum also had a hefty presence on social
media, with more than 19,000 Twitter followers
and more than 7,000 likes on Facebook. Blogs such
as Champagne Living and Art Log also paid a lot of
attention to the Norton; and the Museum’s website
generated an average of 13,000 unique visitors
per month. Marketing dollars from the Tourist
Development Council also enabled the Museum to
get out its message and notify the community of its
exciting and innovative programming and exhibitions.
New York PR partners Resnicow Schroeder
Associates (rsa) helped generate national media
attention throughout the year, including widespread
coverage of the winner of the inaugural biennial Rudin
Prize for Emerging Photographers as well as inclusion of
next year’s David Webb: Society’s Jeweler exhibition in
a Wall Street Journal article on the trend of museums
presenting jewelry and fashion exhibitions. Rsa also
generated coverage in national art publications such
as Art in America and ARTnews, Art Info, Art Daily, and
the London-based The Art Newspaper.
This frequent and positive coverage occurred
in conjunction with the clearly stated vision of the
Museum administration: Be responsive and sensitive
to the South Florida community while simultaneously
becoming an institution of greater significance in the
art world. And it translated into increased awareness,
public good will, and attendance. That was especially
evident with the Free Thursdays for Florida Residents
program during summer 2013, which saw a doubling
of attendance compared to most summers of the
past 10 years.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL.- The Norton Museum of Art, recognized nationally for its important
collection of modern American and European art, recently accessioned into the collection nine
significant works of art. These works range from Italian Old Master paintings and paintings by
Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud to contemporary works by Jenny Saville and Lynda
Benglis. These works add important dimension and depth to the museum’s European art
collection and expand the museum’s growing contemporary collection.
“The impact of these gifts of art—especially when they are as notable as those recently
donated—cannot be overstated,” said Norton Museum of Art director Hope Alswang. “The

Analia Saban Wins Norton Museum’s Inaugural Rudin Prize for
Emerging Photographers
By Benjamin Sutton
It’s a big week in the art world, and not only because of Art Basel Miami Beach. After Elizabeth Price
was named the 2012 Turner Prize winner yesterday, today West Palm Beach’s Norton Museum of Art
announced that Los Angeles-based, Argentina-born artist Analia Saban is the winner of its inaugural
Rudin Prize for Emerging Photographers, an award that will be given every two years. Saban was
nominated by John Baldessari.
“Analia Saban is leading the field in inventive, engaging new work” said the Norton’s photography
curator Tim B. Wride. “Her work is characterized by combining photographic imagery with other art
forms with stunning results.”
The prize comes with a $20,000 purse. The other nominees were: Eunice Adorno and Gabriel Nin Solis,
both of whom are based in Mexico City (and were nominated by Susan Meiselas and Graciela Iturbide,
respectively); Palermo-based Mauro D’Agati, who was nominated by Michael Rovner; and Bjørn
Venø, who is based in London and was nominated by Yinka Shonibare. Through a combination of gifts

Thank You
The Norton Museum of Art is an invaluable resource,
sharing great art with the residents and visitors of
South Florida and preserving that art for generations
to come. With its outreach and educational programs
and low (sometimes free) price of admission, the
Norton welcomes visitors of all ages and backgrounds to explore and engage with its extensive
Collection. This is only possible through the generosity of the Norton’s donors, who recognize the vital
role that art plays in the well-being of a community.
With this in mind, the Norton gratefully acknowledges those who supported the Museum from Oct. 1,
2012 to Sept. 30, 2013.
