SHELLEY KUSNETZ
From the Director
Mr. Cole’s work at MAM was “an intense,
socially engaged experience in looking and thinking,”
that felt “kind of like a homecoming.”
I
n writing to the Montclair Art Museum in July 2006 about
their continuing operating support for the Museum, Geraldine R.
Dodge Foundation President and CEO David Grant noted that:
“We are particularly pleased to acknowledge, from all perspectives, this past year has been a magnificent season for the
Museum. Two blockbuster exhibitions attracted more visitors
than perhaps ever before to your beautiful facility and helped
achieve one of your goals to diversify your audience and
make the Museum more accessible. Your ongoing strategic
planning process appears to have assisted you in developing,
balancing and achieving artistic and administrative objectives. And congratulations on eliminating your accumulated
deficit as well as paying down your line of credit. We hope
that your efforts to establish a significant endowment to
ensure the Museum’s future are successful as well.”
David Grant’s typical clarity and directness provide us with a
deeply gratifying summary of a very good year for the Montclair
Art Museum.
Driving this notable success were the year’s two major exhibitions, Roy Lichtenstein: American Indian Encounters and Anxious
Objects: Willie Cole’s Favorite Brands. Both were organized by the
Museum, accompanied by major publications that sold out their
initial print runs, and will travel to a total of nine different additional U.S. museums through early 2008. Once again the
Museum’s curators, Gail Stavitsky and Twig Johnson show their
individual expertise and remarkable gift for cross-cultural collaboration. It is very rare for an institution of MAM’s size to
organize two such major projects in one year, which required
new heights of staff effort and collaboration. Both shows were
critically very well received. Richard Kalina in Art in America
(which also positively reviewed the Cole show) noted of Roy
Lichtenstein: American Indian Encounters, “this first-rate effort
shows how a small, general purpose museum with real depth in
one field (in this case Native American art) can move beyond its
curatorial comfort zone and give us something that is focused
and scholarly, yet fascinating to a wider audience.” The StarLedger art critic Dan Bischoff proclaimed about the Cole survey,
“no one who is interested in contemporary art should miss it.”
These exhibitions were complemented and joined by smaller
shows, including a provocatively varied selection of works by
African-American artists from the Museum’s collection, an
ambitious installation of words by the internationally celebrated
New Jersey-based conceptualist Robert Barry, and Morgan
Russell and the Old Masters, which revealed the extensive investi-

—The New York Times
gation, led by Gregory Galligan, of the Museum’s Morgan Russell
Archives and Collection Enhancement project (funded by the
Henry Luce Foundation). All together they attracted more than
64,000 visitors—a figure we believe to be the largest number and
most diverse in the Museum’s history—and a record number of
adult and student groups. Visits by school groups were highlighted
by a notably successful initiative by the MAM Education
Department that attracted Newark school groups here for
the Willie Cole show. Meaningful public education programs,
outlined on pages 14-16, were intrinsic to the impact and mission of these shows. Among the year’s particularly memorable
educational programs were the annual Babson Lecture, a panel
featuring Lichtenstein’s charismatic widow Dorothy; the thrill of
having the Pop artist James Rosenquist address a sold-out
audience of emerging artists from the MFA program at
Montclair State University and art lovers who recalled the shock
of the emergence of an art derived from popular culture and
commonplace objects; and a group discussion of Newark’s recent
cultural and urban history and Cole’s role in it, which gathered a
significant percentage of Newark’s art elite from the last two
decades to MAM’s Leir Hall.
F
unding all these programs, the Museum’s bountiful Exhibition
Angels’ support was happily joined by the most significant
amount of outside support for exhibitions in the Museum’s
history. Many donors, whose names are listed on pages 25-30
made these projects possible. But the generosity of the Blanche
and Irving Laurie Foundation, Agnes Gund and Daniel Shapiro,
the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and Altria
Group, Inc. is acknowledged with special gratitude. Their early
enthusiasm for our shows provided crucial impetus for their success. As always, we thank the New Jersey State Council on the Arts,
and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation for their fundamental support of the Museum and the arts in New Jersey. This year we were
the proud recipients of a special grant from the State of New Jersey
with State Senator Nia Gill playing the pivotal role in making this
possible. In doing so, she once again demonstrated her extraordinary commitment to Montclair, the Museum, and the power of the
arts and education to inform, inspire and galvanize communities.
Beyond the exhibitions and their accompanying educational and
public programs, what lay behind the year's accomplishments was
the growing ability of the staff to more astutely utilize the facility,

present art more potently by partnering the needs of exhibition
design with the curators and educators; refine what education
programs work best at MAM; and build audiences for them.
The staff has learned to work together ever more productively
individually and collectively, with the Board of Trustees, and our
many Docents, interns and volunteers. While there were notable
staff departures, including Carole Schaffer, our able Deputy
Director for Operations who was key to the Museum’s growing
financial stability, improved institutional policies and procedures,
and the Reaccreditation process, excellent new staff additions
were made.
Through the use of an outside consultant, we have come to
better understand both our visitors and those who have not
come to the Museum. We now have more hard data about our
audience, their needs and how we might develop and engage new
and more diverse visitors while focusing on a core community
that resides within a half-hour drive of the museum. These efforts
were led by the staff and the Museum’s Marketing Committee,
and remind us that these partnerships between staff and Board
and volunteer committees are crucial. We again turned to an outside consultant to facilitate and advance the Museum’s strategic
planning process. That work resulted in the Strategic Plan 20062008: Opening New Doors to Art. This vital tool will continue to
evolve as the specific needs and means to attain the strategic plan
goals become clear. But it is very satisfying to realize that we have
already accomplished many of the plans we outlined. The commitment to planning is at the core of the American Association of
Museum’s Reaccreditation process, which brought a peer evaluation team to the Museum in May. This assessment process makes
institutions acutely aware of their role within the larger community of cultural, nonprofit organizations, and of the value of stepping back and carefully considering and assessing institutional
processes, procedures, realities, and goals.
On a personal level, as I approach my fifth year as Director, I'd
like to acknowledge the enormous honor and pleasure of working
with the artist Willie Cole on his show. His art and person have
inspired me and so many others who met him and saw his work
here, read the catalogue, or heard him speak. The chance to work
for and learn from the Board of Trustees and its leadership, and
to collaborate even more effectively with my staff colleagues are
deeply gratifying. I have watched with great pleasure the
improved maintenance of the Museum's facility and grounds,
Anxious Objects: Willie Cole’s
Favorite Brands;
(Right) Willie Cole’s studio,
November, 2005
and the surge of growth of the Collection, particularly with
increased purchases and gifts of works of Native American art.
MAM’s ability to couple art and art-making with the conjunction
of its galleries and the Yard School of Art greatly deepens the
museum experience. This discourse is seen throughout the year
but most spectacularly in the final Friday exhibitions of the twoweek Yard School of Art SummerArt sessions. Leir Hall was packed
with kids, their art, and very proud and happily astonished
parents, family, and friends. The Museum's appeal for many of its
most ardent supporters is in its capacity for public service, so the
flowering of new programs like Park Bench and more venerable
ones like the Babson Lecture, along with the opportunity to partner with so many community organizations and educational
groups with this year’s programs, profoundly fulfills our mission.
The year's two gala benefits—the Jazz for Art's Sake turnout of
musical talent and a fabulous, new group of guests and the Black
and White Gala (easily the most glamorous and stylish evening in
Leir Hall's history) were evenings to savor the magic of the
Montclair Art Museum.
O
verall, what is clear is that the Museum has made great
progress following the financial instability of opening an expanded
and renovated facility in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack. MAM's
institutional growth of 2001 was coupled with a need to diminish
staff and contain costs. Four years later we see that we can
balance the budget, create a distinguished program, build the
staff, and partner with numerous community and regional
organizations such as Montclair State University, the Montclair
Pre-K, and the new Montclair Arts Council (of which I am proud
to be a Council member). It is truly satisfying to know that all
these achievements have been realized for the first time in recent
institutional memory without drawing any resources from the
Museum's unrestricted endowment funds. This last fact was not
confirmed until the Museum's audit was complete and crowns
the affirmative litany of positive results listed in the Dodge
Foundation summary that opened these remarks.
Great thanks to all who have helped MAM realize its potential to
highlight the beauty and meaning of art and its power to inspire,
educate, and improve the quality of life of this community, the
state, the region, and the world.

SHELLEY KUSNETZ
From the Chairman
The best use of life is to invest it in
something which will outlast life.
—WILLIAM JAMES, American psychologist and philosopher
T
he business of an art institution is crucial to its
life and future. Over the years, the Montclair Art
Museum’s Board of Trustees and the Staff have been
dedicated to fostering the quality of its American
and Native American art collections while offering
opportunities for visitors to engage with these works
through innovative programs, tours, and the MAM
Yard School of Art. In fiscal year 2005-2006, MAM
presented extraordinary exhibitions, nurtured its
priceless Permanent Collection, and expanded its art
education programs and community events; all of
which embraced the overall mission to educate and
ensure the value of art in our culture. This growth
and development were based on a sound financial
foundation that we are committed to maintaining
and improving.
With the leadership of the Museum’s Facilities and
Grounds Committee and with private support, the
Museum has installed a new irrigation system. This is
the beginning of landscape improvements and other
foundation enhancements that are in the initial
planning stages.
Our endowment fund continues to grow. However, the
importance and need to increase our endowment to
support the operation of the Museum is continually on
our minds and will be a priority for the Board in the
immediate future.
The Montclair Art Museum, its Board of Directors and
the Finance Committee thank you for your continued
support of our efforts to ensure a financially strengthening and dynamic future for the Museum.

By all counts, we have much to be proud of this year.
Income grew for the fourth consecutive year to approximately 19% above fiscal year 2004-2005. Most noteworthy is the growth in grants and the revenues realized from our immensely successful traveling shows of
artists Roy Lichtenstein and Willie Cole. The Yard
School of Art continued to grow in size and reputation
and our education programs drew new audiences and
cultivated new alliances. Facilities rentals exceeded
their goals and brought in new corporate clients. And,
our two major fundraisers were great successes that
only added to the creative energies generated by the
many activities at the Museum.

From the President
Nature is a revelation of God;
Art a revelation of man.
T
—HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW, American poet
he year 2006 was one of exceptional success and accomplishment at the Montclair Art Museum. The quality of our
exhibitions, education and Yard School of Art programs, the
scholarship of our curatorial endeavors and tireless commitment of the MAM staff and the success in generating
further support from individuals, foundations and corporations have enriched the Museum substantively. That success
is presented in our financial statements on pages 22-23 and
figuratively, as evidenced by noteworthy press coverage
and our expanded audience.
Russell and The Old Masters, realized the completion of a
comprehensive cataloguing of the Museum’s holdings by the
artist’s works, given to the Museum by former Board member Henry M. Reed. And, to capitalize on the Museum’s
rich collection of African American art, MAM featured
modern African American artists in an exhibit that revealed
the diversity of the African American life in relation to the
American culture. All these exhibitions capitalized on our
resources and expanded our mission to engage the community with American art and the artists.
Two major exhibitions that dominated our year were organized by our own staff. To start the year, Roy Lichtenstein:
American Indian Encounters provided an opportunity for
the Museum to articulate the connection between Native
American and modern American art, drawing on our collection of Native American holdings in context to
Lichtenstein’s works. It was a perfect project for our curators, Twig Johnson and Gail Stavitsky, to combine their
respective expertise and was accompanied by a striking and
informative catalogue, now in its second printing.
Behind the scenes, staff and Board finalized the Museum’s
Strategic Plan and met with the American Association of
Museums’ visiting reaccreditation team. The success of two
galas, and increased support from other outside sources,
provided one of the highest levels of fundraising. Jazz for
Art’s Sake, a lively benefit that celebrated the breadth of the
Museum with the creativity of renowned local jazz musicians was a premiere event that enhanced our support and
brought a new audience to MAM. The theme of the traditional spring event was the elegant Black and White Gala, an
auspicious, truly glamorous evening celebrating the 40th
anniversary of the famous party given by author Truman
Capote. Further, our generous Exhibition Angels and membership support were crucial to covering the costs of our
exhibitions and their excellent public programs. As a result,
it has not been necessary to draw any funds from our unrestricted operating endowment. This is unprecedented in the
Museum’s history
Anxious Objects: Willie Cole’s Favorite Brands, presented in
the spring and summer of 2006, was curated by Director
Patterson Sims. It was a privilege for the Museum to feature this acclaimed contemporary African American artist
from New Jersey whose visually compelling sculptures and
two-dimensional works combine mindful reflections of the
state’s identity and global culture. The show realized the
same positive reception as the fall exhibition, and
generated many wonderful opportunities to expand our
audience, in particular student groups who experienced
this artist’s provocative works. Both shows are traveling
and will be seen at museums across the United States
over the next two years.
In addition, we were thrilled to recognize longtime MAM
patrons Julian and the late Elaine Hyman with an exhibition
of selected and promised gifts to MAM from their extensive
American modern art collection. The exhibition, Morgan
T
his report details how MAM showcases for American art
in such a unique and exceptional way through changing
exhibitions, gallery tours, art classes, outreach education
programs, lectures and community programs. And, while
we applaud the year and give tribute to our supporters, we
are excited about the opportunities in the future to promote
our rich American culture, past and present.

Anxious Objects:
Willie Cole’s Favorite Brands
March 5 – August 6, 2006
This was the first survey exhibition of
New Jersey native Willie Cole’s
poignant works of art from 1988 to
present. The exhibition featured
mixed-media sculptures transformed
from salvaged steam irons, blow
dryers, ironing boards, high-heeled
shoes, lawn jockeys and bicycle parts
along with paintings and drawings
and prints made of iron scorch marks.
Cole’s use of commonplace consumer
objects to evoke powerful cultural and
spiritual messages revealed the depth
and range of his sensibility and creativity as an innovative form maker and imagist. His distinct works, seemingly from another
time and place, referenced and channeled
African and global cultures and issues as well as
his personal identity as an urban African
American. The “western” objects are
“Africanized” or ritualized to create potent
global artistic hybrids, often with wit and
humor. A special Willie Cole-inspired interactive program was created for MAM’s website to
support educational programs associated with
the exhibition.
Patterson Sims, Director of the Museum,
organized the exhibition, which will travel to five
other U.S. museums.
The exhibition was supported by generous
grants from the State of New Jersey, Department
of Treasury, Agnes Gund and Daniel Shapiro, the
Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts,
Altria Group Inc., Ruth and William True,
Merrill Lynch, the Cowles Charitable Trust, by a
Project Serving Artists grant from the New Jersey
State Council of the Arts/Department of State, a
partner Agency of the National Endowment for
the Arts, and by the following Exhibition Angels:
Patricia Bell, Bobbi Brown and Steven Plofker,
Suzanne and Jeffrey Citron, Pat and Mort David,

Bobbie and Bob Constable, Gregg Seibert,
Lois and David Stith, Denise and Ira Wagner,
Carol and Harlan Waksal, Margo and Frank
Walter, and Joan and Donald Zief and an
anonymous donor. Media sponsorship was
provided by Jazz 88 WBGO. The exhibition
catalogue was supported by the Judith Targan
Endowment Fund. The opening reception was
made possible by generous donations from
Patti and Jimmy Elliot and Paula A. Tuffin
and Reginald J. Hollinger.

This exhibition highlighted the Museum’s
Morgan Russell Archives and Collection by
focusing on his intensive study of the Old
Masters, anatomy, and the sculpture of
Greco-Roman antiquity. Guest curated by
Gregory Galligan, the exhibition celebrated

papers of this leading American modernist,
who lived from 1886-1953. Henry M. Reed,
who served on the Museum’s Board and Art
Committee from 1985-1990, donated this
collection which consists of over 9,000
works on paper, five oil paintings and over
60 sketchbooks and notebooks, thousands
of pages of correspondence and more than
100 photographs of the artist’s and others’
works. The exhibition featured drawings
never before exhibited and recent gifts of
Russell drawings to MAM by the artist’s

of words. The installation incorporated
large colored words, placed at random on
both the wall and window and incorporating a formal grid design of the architecture.
The installation was organized by Gail

than 166 schools, community organizations,
universities, museums, and senior center,
representing more than 70 communities and
nine counties in Northern New Jersey, participated in guided tours of the Permanent
Collection and special exhibitions.
Family Interaction and Engagement
A total of six Family Guides were developed
this year providing interpretive tools for families visiting the Roy Lichtenstein and Willie
Cole exhibitions. The Family Guides encourage
close looking, discovery, and shared insights to
engage young viewers. Activities included scavenger hunt exercises, compare and contrast
opportunities, vocabulary, and projects to do at
home. Alongside our Family Guides during
Roy Lichtenstein: American Indian Encounters, a
selection of children’s books illustrated by the
artist were available for our youngest visitors.
For Anxious Object: Willie Cole’s Favorite
Brands, the artist loaned the Museum examples
of the different brands of irons used to make
many of his scorch paintings and prints on display. Entitled “Please Touch”, visitors were
invited to make rubbings of the irons’ distinct
steam hole patterns and to seek those artworks
containing that brand of iron.
Home School Days
Responding to the growing number of home
school families in Northern New Jersey, the
Museum initiated a program this year that
included a guided thematic
tour and related art project
for students and opportunities for parents to
observe and discuss with
Museum educators ways to
integrate the Museum into
their curriculum.
Dialogue in the Galleries
This spring, the Museum experimented with
using the exhibition Anxious Objects: Willie
Cole’s Favorite Brands as a setting and catalyst
for group conversation and dialogue. In place
of a traditional tour, the Museum partnered
with the Montclair Adult School to offer an
interactive tour led by Patterson Sims, MAM
Director and curator of the exhibition. The
tour was followed by a moderated group
discussion touching on the social, economic,
and aesthetic issues raised by the artist’s work.
This format was replicated with other groups,
resulting in a lively dialogue occurring in the
galleries inspired by the surrounding artwork.
Museum School Collaborations
The Museum sustains a number of multi-visit
partnerships accounting for approximately a
quarter of our school tour attendance. In the
museum field, where the great majority of
school groups are one-time only experiences,
the continuity of working with the same students and teachers over an extended period of
time is significant and allows for educational
growth. The Museum’s willingness to collaborate, experiment, and shape curriculum that
balances our educational goals with those of
our partners has resulted in successful relationships with the Montclair Board of Education,
Montclair Cooperative School, New Jersey
Regional Day School for Autistic Youth, and
Apple Montessori of Wayne and Edgewater.
The Apple Montessori program, which began
in 1997, brings students to the Museum each
month for a tour and art project resulting in
nine visits annually. Students who remain at
the school from kindergarten through fifth
grade visit the Museum a remarkable 40-50
times during their elementary school years. In
doing so, the experience a rich and sustained
connection with Museum educators who
encourage their artistic development.
Newark Collaborations and Cole Tours
More than 110 groups and 3,000 individuals
came for guided tours of Anxious Objects:
Willie Cole’s Favorite Brands, making it the
most toured special exhibition since the
Museum’s re-opening in 2001. Education staff
members made concerted efforts to build upon
the natural connections Willie Cole and his art
have to Newark to develop new relationships.
To explore the strong reference to African traditions in the artist’s work, the Museum initiated a three-way partnership that resulted in a
day-long museum experience for more than
400 Newark High School students. They
explored the African
Collection at The Newark
Museum in the morning
and visited MAM to experience Willie Cole’s artwork and to complete their
own scorch paintings
inspired by the artist’s signature use of steam irons.

The Volunteer Council
V
olunteers are an integral part
of the Montclair Art Museum.
Our diverse volunteers provide
help in all aspects of the
Museum. A MAM volunteer
may have the title of Trustee,
Docent, Intern, Gala Committee
Member or Chair,
Administrative Assistant,
Landscaper, Greeter or
Librarian. The Volunteer
Council provides a structure for
organizing and coordinating
these volunteer efforts.
Over the past year, the
Volunteer Council has organized a variety of events and
activities for its members, the
Museum, and the greater community. In the fall, there was a
tour for Volunteer Council
members of the exhibit Roy
Lichtenstein: American Indian
Encounters led by Curator of
Native American Art, Twig
Johnson. In the spring,
Volunteer Council member
Hollie Reddington organized
Paint Montclair in conjunction
with May in Montclair. Children
ages 3-8 from all over town
showed their creativity and
community spirit by painting
spring pictures on many
Montclair store windows. In
addition, volunteers from
Montclair Kimberley Academy
(MKA) and Girl Scout Troop 75
devoted numerous hours to
maintaining and planting new
bulbs on the Museum’s grounds.
Throughout the entire year,
the Passaic County Elks
Cerebral Palsy Center High
School devoted their time to
clerical duties in MAM’s administration building.

T
ruman Capote’s famous ball was the inspiration for the
Montclair Art Museum’s Black and White Gala on Saturday,
May 13. This fundraising event generated over $380,000 for
the Museum's exhibitions and educational programs. The party
replicated Capote’s 1966 affair with the black and white formal
attire and masks of the guests, the décor (red tablecloths and
candelabras as centerpieces), some of the menu items, and
dancing to Peter Duchin and His Orchestra, who played at
Truman’s original party at the Plaza Hotel. MAM’s Black and
White Gala was planned by Chair Carol Wall and Honorary
Chair Deborah Davis, author of Party of the Century: The
Fabulous Story of Truman Capote and his Black and White Ball.
MAM staff, Trustees, and Gala Committee members would like
to thank photographers Adam Anik, Sara Maiti of Gallery 51,
and a special thank you to Andrew Foster, owner of Gallery 51
on Church Street in Montclair for his magnificent portraiture,
which helped to capture the spirit of this gala.

makes you feel it is the place where you all
belong. This place belongs to you and
the things in it belong to you.”
—FLORENCE RAND at the dedication of the Rand Galler y, 1931

Mission
The Montclair Art Museum collects, preserves, and presents American
and Native American art. Its innovative exhibitions and educational
programs interpret and explore relationships between these two evolving
artistic traditions. The Museum's exhibitions offer groundbreaking
scholarship, fresh thematic approaches, first-time presentations of underrecognized artists, examinations of little-known aspects of major artists'
careers, and an ongoing commitment to the artists and culture of New
Jersey. Sharing its distinguished collections, specialized expertise, and
unique resources such as its Le Brun Library and Yard School of Art, the
Museum collaborates with numerous cultural and community partners
to inspire creativity and a deeper understanding of America's unique
diversity. –Adopted by the Board of Trustees April 7, 2004
Diversity
The Montclair Art Museum is committed to being an inclusive and
diverse organization that respects and welcomes individual differences
among people in order to offer the most meaningful art experience to the
widest possible audience. We strive to cultivate an environment that
fosters productivity, creativity and individual satisfaction by celebrating
such differences as race, gender, nationality, age, religion, sexual orientation, and physical abilities. –Adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1999
Every effort has been made to accurately include the names of all donors.
