from the STAFF
board of ADVISORS
As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, the museum is also going through a time of change. Several long-term staff members have retired, including our director of more than 30 years. After a months-long national search for someone to serve as our next director, David Odo, current director of academic and public programs, division head and research curator at the Harvard Art Museums, will fill those shoes. His appointment is effective as of June 26. In the meantime, Annelies Mondi, former deputy director of the museum, has been named interim director beginning April 1. The reflection on our big birthday shows that, in many ways, the museum has changed very little over its eight decades. When museum founder Alfred Heber Holbrook made his original gift of art, he stipulated that it must be used to start a museum that would be “open to the public at all times.” Holbrook had retired from a long legal career in New York and taken up art collecting with his wife. After her death, his extensive investigation of a museum location eventually brought him to UGA “because he had found more evidence of genuine art culture in Athens than any university he had visited in the South.” Holger Cahill, national director of the Federal Art Project, introduced him to Lamar Dodd, the then- new director of UGA’s art department and a great booster for UGA and Georgia. Upon meeting him, Holbrook was sold and moved into a house on Springdale Road and enrolled in art classes, where he was known for his enthusiasm and his pink smock. UGA’s students even adopted him as one of their own and even dedicated the 1947 volume of the Pandora yearbook to him. The museum has received many other notable gifts of art over the years and its space is much larger now. When it opened, it occupied two galleries in the basement of what was then the old university library on North Campus and is now the Administration Building. Over the past 75 years, the museum’s collection has grown to more than 17,000 objects and now occupies a large contemporary building with 21 gal- leries, plus a sculpture garden, on UGA’s East Campus. The museum’s commitment to free inspiration and Hol- brook’s original dedication to openness to the public has remained the same all these years. He insisted on it from the beginning and often toured paintings around the state in a car provided by the Georgia Center for Continuing Education. That original commitment to openness is fundamental to who we are as an institution and we hope to continue that tradition for at least another 75 years.

This exhibition results from a collaborative project that brought works of art from the museum’s collection into classrooms at Whitworth Women’s Facility, a prison in north Georgia.
With an aim to cultivate community and empathetic con- nection through art and writing, despite vast differences in space, time and resources, the incarcerated women at the facility involved in this project selected the works in this exhibition and wrote prose and poetry in response to them. This interinstitutional project seeks to cultivate community and empathetic connection through art and writing, despite vast differences in space, time and resources. Since 2021, Callan Steinmann, curator of education at the museum, has worked with Caroline Young, lecturer of English at the University of Georgia and site director for the Common Good Atlanta program at Whitworth Women's Fa- cility, on the project. Common Good Atlanta, founded in 2010, provides people who are incarcerated or formerly incarcer- ated with access to higher education by connecting Georgia’s colleges and professors with Georgia’s prison classrooms. Common Good’s Clemente Course in the Humanities offers students college credit through Bard College in subjects like critical thinking and writing, literature, U.S. history, philosophy and art history. Young’s UGA service-learning English course, Writing for Social Justice: The Prison Writing Project, has linked the museum to the incarcerated students in Clemente classes at Whitworth. Over the course of several semesters in 2021 and 2022, Young’s students considered how they might bring a museum experience to incarcerated women at Whitworth Women's Facility. UGA students learned about the museum’s collection and selected over 140 works of art to share with the women’s
facility students through high-quality reproductions of each work of art, information about the artist, relevant historical context and questions to prompt reflections and interpreta - tion. The UGA students sought to represent the diversity of the collection while highlighting artists traditionally exclud- ed from the mainstream art historical narrative. Starting in the fall of 2021, Common Good Atlanta Clemente instructors Don Chambers and Caroline Young integrated these art kits into their course curriculum at the wom- en’s facility. Incarcerated students there engaged with the art through close looking, discussion, creative writing and making art of their own. They then narrowed down a selection of works of art that were personally meaningful and resonated with them. The works that they chose, along with their accompanying writing, make up the entirety of this exhibition and relate to themes of identity, mother- hood, incarceration, home, childhood, social issues, memory and mysteries. Viewed together, these works question and challenge the ways in which art and educational institutions can foster or hinder societal awareness and social equity. The exhibition exemplifies just one of many potential new ways to approach and understand the far-reaching impacts of higher education in the prison systems.

Object Lessons in American Art: Selections from the Princeton University Art Museum February 4 – May 14, 2023
“Object Lessons in American Art” features four centuries of works from the Princeton University Art Museum that collectively explore American history, culture and society.
Inspired by the concept of the object lesson — the study of a material thing to communicate a larger idea — the exhibition brings groups of objects together to ask fundamental ques- tions about artistic significance, materials and how meanings change across time and contexts. With a focus on race, gender and the environment, these pairings demonstrate the value of juxtaposing diverse objects to generate new understanding. “Object Lessons” presents Euro-American, Native American and African American art from contemporary interpretive perspec- tives, illustrating how fresh investigations of art can inform and enhance its meaning and afford new insights into the American past and present. An accompanying catalogue expands upon the exhibition through focused analyses that situate these important works within current social, cultural and artistic concerns and debates. “Object Lessons in American Art” is organized by the Princeton University Art Museum. Curator: Karl Kusserow, John Wilmerding Curator of American Art, Prince- ton University Art Museum In-house curator: Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, curator of American art Sponsors: This exhibition is made possible by the leadership support of the Terra Foundation for American Art.

Sky Hopinka: Lore February 11 – September 24, 2023
In this video work, images of friends and landscapes are cut, fragmented and reassembled on an overhead projector as hands guide their shape and construction.
Meanwhile, a voice tells a story about a not-too-distant past, a not-too-distant ruin, with traces of nostalgia expressed in terms of lore. We see knowledge and memory passed down and shared not from wistful loss, but as a collage of rumination, reproduc- tion and creation. Sky Hopinka, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and a descen- dant of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, is a filmmaker, video artist and photographer who has received numerous honors for his innovative approach to cinema including a 2020 Gug- genheim Fellowship, a 2021 Forge Project Fellowship and a 2022 MacArthur Fellowship. Hopinka layers imagery, sound and text to center personal perceptions of Native homelands, as well as correlations between language and culture in relation to home and land. “Deconstructing language [through cinema] is a way for me to be free from the dogma of traditional storytelling,” said Hopinka “and then, from there, to explore or propose more of what Indigenous cinema has the possibility to look like.”

exhibitions Southern/Modern June 17 – December 10, 2023
“Southern/Modern” will be the first project to comprehensively survey the rich array of paintings and works on paper created in the American South during the first half of the 20th century.
Featuring more than 100 works of art drawn from public and private collections across the country, it will bring together a generation’s worth of scholarship. The exhibition will take a broad view of the South, considering artists who worked in states below the Mason-Dixon line and as far west as those bordering the Mississippi River. It will be structured around key themes that cut across state lines and take an inclusive view of the artists working in the region. It will also include several major artists from outside the region who produced significant bodies of work while visiting the South. “South - ern/Modern” will provide the fullest, richest and most accurate overview to date of the artistic activity in the South during this period and illuminate the important and often overlooked role that it played in American art history. “Southern/Modern” is organized by the Mint Museum in collaboration with the Georgia Museum of Art. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featur- ing essays from leading scholars in the field and produced in collaboration with the University of North Carolina Press. Curator: Dr. Jonathan Stuhlman (senior curator of American art, Mint Museum) and independent scholar Martha R. Severens In-house curators: Shawyna L. Harris, Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Curator of African American and African Diasporic Art, and Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, curator of American art Sponsors: Lead support for “Southern/Modern” is provided by the Luce Foundation for American Art.

Decade of Tradition: Highlights from the Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Collection June 11, 2022 – July 3, 2024
In 2012, Larry and Brenda Thompson gave 100 works of art by African American artists to the Georgia Museum of Art, mirroring the original donation of 100 American paintings by museum founder Alfred Heber Holbrook.
In addition, they endowed a curatorial position to steward this collection to help fulfill the museum’s vision of an inclu - sive canon of American art. This exhibition includes works from the 2011 traveling exhibition “Tradition Redefined,” which preceded the gift, as well as subsequent works added in recent years that have not been on view in other galleries. These works celebrate the expansion of the museum’s per- manent collection through this transformative gift of works by African American artists.

Power & Piety in 17th-Century Spanish Art November 14, 2020 – February 4, 2024
This exhibition is part of a continued collaboration between the Georgia Museum of Art and Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery in Greenville, South Carolina.
“Power and Piety” provides visitors with the opportunity to see works by premiere Spanish baroque painters such as Francisco de Zurbarán, Bartolomé Murillo, Pedro Orrente and others. Viewers will be immersed in a selection of paintings that uphold the tenets of Catholic Counter-Reformation Art illustrative of the struggle between the Catholic church and the rise of the Protestant Reformation in Europe, which dom- inated the art scene in 17th-century Spain.

outdoor sculpture isn’t something that is added to a museum’s collection very often. It can be expensive, it is often difficult to install and outdoor space is limited, especially for works that may be on display for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, three new outdoor sculptures—by Andrew T. Crawford , Jane Manus and William J. Thompson —now grace the museum grounds.
JANE MANUS
Walk into the museum, through the lobby and into the Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden and you’ll find “Andreas,” the most recent addition to our outdoor gallery devoted to work by women. Created by Florida-based sculptor Jane Manus and on view in the exhibition “Jane Manus, Undaunted” (which closed here on February 12), it makes a dramatic statement in the middle of the garden. Manus uses welded aluminum for her sculptures. While it is a difficult material to work with, it doesn’t rust and is much lighter than steel. Manus has made art since she was a child. She was drawn to sculpture from the beginning, working in clay, and even had a kiln in her room in high school that she says almost burned down her house. She studied at the Art Institute in Boston, where she moved on to wood constructions, but that material has its issues, too. Wooden sculptures placed outside, where Manus wanted her work to be, often warp and decay. Her teacher Michael Phillips suggested she try welding and taught her how. “Once I started in metal, I never wanted to do anything else again. It was fast and forever and substantial,” said Manus. It is important that her sculptures work from all angles, as you walk around and sometimes through them, she added. Her artistic vocabulary is reminiscent of geometric sculptors such as Mark di Suvero, Tony Smith and Joel Shapiro, but her interpretations feel lighter on their feet. Her work was originally on display at the Georgia Museum of Art in 1996 as part of the celebrations for the opening of the University of Georgia’s Performing and Visual Arts Complex, and another one of her wall sculptures is also currently on display in the museum lobby. Art writer Lilly Wei wrote that “Andreas” makes her “think of a greatly elongated body in abstract form. I see the sem- blance of a head, torso, legs and feet, recalling the way Greek temples were conceived in correspondence to the human body, with a head (pediment), torso and legs (columns) and feet (the columns’ base). It is figurative while abstract, expressive while geometric. The result can not only be likened to the body at rest, but also to a body that is stretched, taut, on the cusp of movement, like a dancer about to make the next leap before landing nimbly into position.”
“...It is figurative while abstract, expressive while geometric. The result can not only be likened to the body at rest, but also to a body that is stretched, taut, on the cusp of movement, like a dancer about to make the next leap before landing nimbly into position.”

ACQUISITIONS
ANDREW T. CRAWFORD
If you’re familiar with one sculpture that was already on display outside the museum, you probably recognize Crawford’s name. He’s the creator of “Split,” which sits up on East Campus Road. Crawford often transforms the tools for making sculptures into sculptures themselves, and this massive 500-pound screw cleaved almost in half demonstrates themes that run through much of his work. Crawford alters the ordinary, making everyday objects feel less “rigid” and more “human” by twisting, pulling or splitting them into new shapes. The work first appeared on campus in 2006, alongside eight of Crawford's other “ordinary” objects, and took up its permanent home in 2008 thanks to funds provided by Amburn and Will Power in memory of Mildred and Jay Huskins. Crawford makes ornamental ironwork as well as large- scale sculpture, and many of his gates can be seen around Athens and in Atlanta. Born in New Jersey, he grew up in Atlanta and his studio and workshop still are there today. Crawford and his team installed “On the Verge” in November, just across from the museum’s Carlton Street covered parking area entrance. For a long time, it was just a series of large posts and it was hard to envision the final product, but the sculpture took shape rapidly as workers assembled sections of spiraling metal in between those posts. The result is a work that comes to life as students walk, bike or scoot through it, a passion project that differs substantively from the commercial work at which he excels. Although Crawford attend- ed the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), members of his family went to UGA, and he’s pleased to have one of his largest works of sculpture on its campus, where it and “Split” serve as gateways to the arts district.

WILLIAM J. THOMPSON Walk around to the other side of the museum from “On the Verge,” and you’ll find a sculpture by William J. Thompson titled “Archangel” on a pedestal near the museum’s main entrance. Thompson is perhaps best known locally for creating the “Spirit of Athens” sculp- ture downtown in conjunction with the 1996 Olympic Games. He also made a memorial at Andersonville National Park, commissioned by the Georgia Natural Resources Commission to commemorate lost prisoners of all American wars. Born in Denver, Colorado, Thompson, like Crawford, studied at RISD. After serving in the U.S. Army and receiving his master of fine arts degree from Cranbrook Academy of Arts, he taught at UGA’s art school from 1964 to 1983. The Lamar Dodd School of Art’s sculp- ture studio is named in his honor. The museum owns many works by Thompson: prints, drawings, several smaller sculptures. But until now it did not have a large work. Given his importance to Georgia and to UGA, it made sense to acquire one, and his children generously donated this addition to our col- lection. Thompson died in 1995. He originally made this sculpture in 1967, in aluminum and fiberglass. It was included in the 1969–1970 Smithsonian National Traveling Exhibit.. The original sculpture was not in good condi- tion, so Jack Ward, who worked closely with Thompson many years ago, and Joe Thomp- son (the artist’s son and a sculptor in his own right) recast it in bronze in 2022, enabling us to install it outside. Like many of his works, it reaches toward the sky, mirroring Beverly Pepper’s sculpture “Ascension” nearby.
William J. Thompson’s sculpture “Archangel” is on view on a pedestal near the museum’s main entrance.
Come visit our new sculptures. “Andreas” can be seen during regular museum hours and “Archangel” and “On the Verge” can be seen 24 hours a day.

CECILIA BEAUX’S MASTERPIECE back on view through mid-May
In 2018, due to a stroke of good fortune, the museum acquired Cecilia Beaux’s “Twilight Confidences,” a masterpiece whose whereabouts were unknown for much of the 20th century.
Beaux created the painting in 1888 during a summer on the French coast as her first major exercise in plein-air (or “open air”) painting. In 2020 Beaux’s painting found renewed attention and popularity and several muse- ums across the country requested to borrow “Twilight Confidences” for their loan exhibitions. After traveling in the blockbuster exhibition “Whistler to Cassatt: Amer- ican Painters in France” at the Denver Art Museum and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the painting has finally returned to Athens after two years, to the delight of staff, docents and visitors alike. The painting went on view at the museum in January 2023 as a prelude to “Object Lessons in American Art: Selections from the Princeton University Art Museum.” It will come down after May 14 before it goes back out on loan.

CELEBRATING the MEMORY of JULIA EDWARDS SANKS
A wall dedicated to long-time museum docent and supporter Julia Sanks is now in place at the museum. The memorial wall is meant to help students and younger visitors feel included by seeing younger artists’ work on display.
The group decided that a student gallery wall, installed outside the Mary and Michael Erlanger Studio Classroom, would expand upon Julia’s passion for helping students explore their creativity in the classroom. While braving a pandemic, the docents were instrumental in raising funds for the wall. Sherrie Olejnik, then docent president, helped push the project forward through supply chain struggles. On March 20, we unveiled Julia’s Wall and it is a welcomed addition to our museum. The goal of this memorial is to help students and younger visitors feel included in the museum by seeing their work on display, expanding on the museum’s mission of sup- porting art education and students. “It is a flexible system with gallery lighting that will allow for student-made art, both 2D and 3D, to be displayed,” said associate curator of education Sage Kincaid. “All the 5th-grade students, as well as many from other grades, in the Clarke County School District visit the museum each year for a tour of the galleries and to make an art project related to something they have seen in the galleries. The classroom is where these art activities take place so it makes sense to have it close to the classroom.”
Julia Sanks loved helping students.
Known for her dedication and outreach to students in the community, she spent much of her time giving back and encouraging students through museum programs. She recruited many past and current docents and was an active advocate for the museum and its docent program. Her passion and investment in these endeavors at the mu- seum led her to becoming the president of the program in 2014. During this time, she also tutored at Sylvan Learning Center, which she and her husband owned for 10 years. Her longstanding service to the museum and passion for connecting with students will now be remembered with a special gallery wall that will feature student art and is meant as a dedication to Julia and her many years of dedication to facilitating fun and creativity while working with students. When she died, in February of 2020, community docents and Emily Hogrefe-Ribeiro (the previous assistant curator of education) sat down to brainstorm how they could hon- or Julia’s time at the museum.

raises more than $435,000
Held on February 4, 2023, as the kick-off to the Georgia Museum of Art’s 75th anniversary year, Elegant Salute XVII raised more than $435,000 for the museum’s programs and long-term stability.
Generous donors went above and beyond in their gifts to honor both 75 years of free inspiration and the legacy of our retiring director, William U. Eiland. Our success would not have been possible without event chair Mary Lillie Watson and we are also forever indebted to our fundraising co-chairs— David Matheny, D. Hamilton Magill III and Gordhan Patel—who made sure we met and far exceeded our fundraising goal of $275,000. The evening had a 1920s theme and attendees donned flapper fringe, feather headdresses and plenty of sparkle. University President Jere W. Morehead began a series of champagne toasts to our beloved retiring director, William U. Eiland, that featured heartfelt tributes from long-time museum patrons including Todd Emily, Andrew Littlejohn, Randall Ott, Kathy Prescott, Peggy Ro- lando and Jason Schoen. A big part of his success at his job, many noted, has been his genuine interest in people and creating deep friendships with sup- porters. As Ott put it, “Bill Eiland is my friend, and I love him.” With the new cocktail style format, attendees enjoyed mingling delicious hors d’oeuvres selec- tion from Epting Events and period jazz standards from the Athens A-Train Band. Flowers and decor were spectacular, thanks to Maggie Hancock, Ligia Alexander, of Perryander Studio, and an army of other volunteers and the silent-auction items were popular as well. Attendees also had a chance to view newly installed exhibition, “Object Lessons in American Art: Selections from the Princeton Uni- versity Art Museum.” Elegant Salute proper rolled right into the Dripping in Diamonds Dance Party, with DJ Mahogany spinning tunes and attendees dancing the night away. We are thankful to everyone who made the evening a success—sponsors, partners, volunteers, chairs and, of course, our staff—and we are humbled by your support. Here’s to 75 more great years!

MUSEUM NOTES
AWARDS
STAFF NOTES
Georgia Association of Museums Awards
David Odo , current director of academic and public programs, division head and research curator at the Harvard Art Museums, has been named director beginning June 26. Annelies Mondi , former deputy director of the museum, has been named interim director beginning April 1. Katie O’Neal , senior accountant at the museum, and Ashaé Burgess , assistant curator of education, both left the museum in February. Museum director William Under - wood Eiland retired at the end of March. Taylor Nettis , a native Athenian and former museum intern, joined the staff as a full- time gallery guide in February, and Laney Bales was hired as an administrative assistant in the business office in March. The curators have been busy. Jeffrey Richmond-Moll , curator of American art and in-house curator of the exhibition “Object Lessons in American Art: Selections from the Princeton Univer- sity Art Museum,” contributed a chapter to the catalogue for that show (available for purchase in the Museum Shop). Richmond-Moll also has an essay in another new book, “The Un- forgettables: Expanding the History of American Art,” a book by eminent art historian Charles C. Eldredge that brings together top scholars to celebrate forgotten artists and create a more inclusive history of American art. Richmond-Moll is also a reviewer for the Atlanta Celebrates Photography portfolio program this year. The ACP’s virtual portfolio reviews are for emerging and established lens-based, intermedia and media artists looking to gain new insights into their work and expand their professional networks. Richmond-Moll and Shawnya L. Harris , Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Curator of African American and African Diasporic Art, both have essays in “Southern/Modern: Rediscovering Southern Art from the First Half of the Twentieth Century,” a companion book for the exhibition that will be on view at the museum in June.
The Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia re- ceived two awards at this year’s Georgia Association of Museums (GAM) annual conference, held in Cartersville. GAM President Marcy Breffle and award committee co-chairs Melissa Swindell and Karin Dalton presented the museum with the awards for Patron of the Year to Alan Rothschild Jr. and Exhibition Category #3 ($25,001 – $99,999) for “Reckonings and Reconstructions: Southern Photography from the Do Good Fund.” Rothschild (UGA JD ’85) has been a leading force in the arts as the founder of the Do Good Fund, a public charity in Columbus, Georgia, whose focus has built a museum-quality collection of southern photography from the 1950s to the present that reflects a visual narrative of the American South. Over the past 11 years, the fund has grown significantly, delivering its collection all over the state. “Reckonings and Reconstructions” is the first large- scale survey of the collection and will travel to Columbus, St. Louis, Iowa and Florida. Rothschild has been a long-time friend and supporter of the Georgia Museum of Art and the University of Georgia. He has served on the museum’s Board of Advisors since 2008, including a two-year stint as its chair. His focus on the whole state and his deep-rooted interest in tying art to the humanities and to histor- ical contexts notably made him deserving of this award. He says, “Art for art’s sake is wonderful, but it is the beauty [of the story] behind the art that helps me understand art.” GAM is a private, nonprofit statewide organization dedicated to encouraging growth and improving professional practices of museums and nonprofit galleries throughout the state. The annual conference is an opportunity for museum professionals, board members, volunteers and supporters to share information and build relationships among museums and galleries throughout the state. The conference is hosted by a different community each year and will be held in Athens in 2024.
