COVER: Kem Weber, Lounge Chair, Designed 1934. The Liliane and David M. Stewart Collection

Happy New Year. Before looking

ahead, I want to pause and

acknowledge that 2010 was a

challenging but extraordinary year

at Philbrook. The economy made it

challenging, but your participation

and support made it extraordinary.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees

and professional staff, I thank you

for your continued involvement and

investment in our progress.  

Now 2011 is here and we’re off

and running. For example, on the

following pages you’ll find a first look at our plans for Philbrook’s satellite

space in the Brady District. This exciting project will certainly expand the

Museum’s regional impact and affords us a mission-driven opportunity

to participate in the economic development of our city. As The George

Kaiser Family Foundation and others work to transform the social, cultural,

and economic landscape of our community, Philbrook is excited to play an

active role as well in these efforts.

We’re also thrilled to introduce two great exhibitions. The first, The

Wyeth Legacy: Paintings by N.C, Andrew, and Jamie from the Cowan

Collection, highlights a gift of exceptional works created by Andrew,

Jamie, and N.C. Wyeth – a legendary family in the history of American

Art. The collection is a bequest of longtime Philbrook benefactor and

supporter, Marylouise Cowan. It is an outstanding contribution to the

Museum’s permanent collection and we’re delighted to share Ms.

Cowan’s generosity with each of you.

In February, American Streamlined Design opens. This wonderful

exhibition is comprised of works from the Liliane and David M. Stewart

Program for Modern Design in Montreal. Given the quality of the objects

and the scope of this presentation, the exhibition will do much to place

our own Kravis Design Collection within a greater context. This is an

exhibition for each member of your family and not to be missed.

And as always, there are numerous programs, activities, gallery talks,

lectures, and drop-in workshops to round out your Philbrook experience.

Please check the listings inside for details.  

I look forward to seeing you at the Museum soon and often. 

 

 

3January  through   March

Three generations of Wyeth paintings will be on view this winter in recognition of a generous bequest to Philbrook from the Marylouise Cowan Trust. Included in this gift are two watercolor still lifes by Oklahoma artist P.S. Gordon and fifteen original Wyeth paintings which will be featured in The Wyeth Legacy: Paintings by N.C., Andrew, and Jamie from the Cowan Collection, through February 13, 2011. A valued community philanthropist, Cowan served on the board of the Philbrook Museum of Art and the Tulsa Town Hall before being inducted into the Tulsa Historical Society Hall of Fame in 2000.

Cowan was born in Tulsa in 1921 and moved to Maine in 1979 with her husband Howard. There they published two local newspapers and were active donors at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland. Cowan’s spirit of philanthropy returns to Tulsa with this significant bequest which will greatly complement Philbrook’s permanent holdings in American Art.

The Wyeth family legacy spans three generations and is largely synonymous with American realism. From the beloved illustrations and colorful adventures of N.C. Wyeth (1812-1945) to the psychologically loaded spaces of son Andrew (1917-2009), the Wyeth’s poetic dialogue with nature continues in the images of farm and island life by grandson Jamie (b. 1946). A prominent artistic family much like the colonial Peale family, the Wyeths are of great note in American art. During the maelstrom of change that characterized much of the twentieth century, the Wyeths carried the torch of realism proudly, celebrating an enduring simplicity of country life. Philbrook Museum of Art is exceedingly grateful to the Cowan Trust for this permanent gift which will be enjoyed by the community for years to come.

From Midtown to DowntownConstruction closer with selection of architects.

Two international gifts – the Eugene B. Adkins Collection and the George R. Kravis II Design Collection – combined with the generosity of the George Kaiser Family Foundation, have spurred Philbrook’s development of a new satellite presence in Tulsa’s historic Brady District. The GKFF’s generous provision of approximately 30,000 square feet within the former Mathews Warehouse will enable and transform the Philbrook experience as well as the city’s cultural landscape for decades to come.

To that end, we are proud to announce that Gluckman Mayner Architects of New York, NY will design these wonderful new additions to the Philbrook experience. These two distinct, yet ultimately inter-related spaces will be home to the Adkins Collection & Study Center as well as a space dedicated to modern and contemporary art and design.

About the Architects

Gluckman Mayner Architects is one of America’s leading architectural firms, having designed many acclaimed arts institutions including The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh, PA), The Picasso Museum (Malaga, Spain), The Georgia O’Keefe Museum (Santa Fe, NM), and the award-winning Perelman Building at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Richard Gluckman, principal architect for this project, is the recipient of numerous honors and awards including the National Design Award

from the Copper Hewitt National Design Museum in 2005. We look forward to working with this outstanding firm to create something exciting and essential to our community.

While conceptual in nature, these images serve merely as the beginning of a journey we will go on together. In the days, weeks, and months ahead, we will keep you in the loop with the construction and progress as the process moves forward.

6 January  through March

Streamlining emerged during the Great Depression at the same

time that the new professional field of industrial design arose. This

was also the time when President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke of

the promise of the New Deal. In the depth of the Depression, glossy

streamlined products were identified with progress and economic

recovery. This scientific-looking, progressive style suggested the hope

of the future. “The World of Tomorrow” was the name fittingly given

to the 1939 New York World’s Fair, a fair that emphasized visions of a

sophisticated, scientific world to come.

American Streamlined Design presents the work of such leaders in

consumer and industrial design as Raymond Loewy, Henry Dreyfuss,

and Walter Dorwin Teague, as well as less well known talents,

including Egmont Arens and Robert Heller. Over 185 objects in

diverse new materials, from Bakelite to stainless steel, are organized

thematically around the spheres of American life in the 1930s-50s:

the office and workroom, the living room, kitchen, and bath, recreation

and transportation.  A final section, Streamlining Now, looks at how

streamlining still affects design today.

Streamlining evolved from scientific studies concerned with

minimizing wind and water resistance for the design of ships, trains,

and aircraft. It was discovered that a teardrop or bullet shape met

less resistance and thus moved more rapidly. Vehicles with smooth

and continuous surfaces generally performed with greater speed

and efficiency, saving both time and energy while also improving

passengers’ comfort. Designers were fascinated by the dynamic

quality of the resultant parabolic, sweeping lines of streamlining and,

beginning in the 1930s, applied them freely to modern-style objects,

even things that would never move.

American Streamlined Design

“Moderne” was the term most often applied in the late 1930s and

1940s to a functionalist approach to industrial design and to an

aesthetic allied with machines. It was identified with new industrial

materials and geometrical forms that could be mass-produced, and it

rejected applied ornament of any sort. In its purist approach to style,

it was closely related to the ideas of the late Bauhaus and the newly

emerged International Style of architecture. Streamlining is closely

associated with functionalism and the machine-oriented moderne

style, but its sense of geometry was guided more by aerodynamic

simplification and a delight in sweeping, curved surfaces. To the

chagrin of purists, it emphasized ornament of multiple horizontal

bands, which suggested the forward thrust of mighty engines.

The exhibition draws primarily on the collection of Eric Brill,

numbering more than 900 examples of American industrial design,

which he has donated to The Liliane and David M. Stewart Program

for Modern Design of Montreal. It is supplemented with selections

from Stewart Collection of 20th-Century Design. Works range

from staplers and cameras to an entire bathroom, indicating the

popularity and omnipresence of this language of shining surfaces

and aerodynamic forms. The exhibition illustrates the era’s faith that

design could create a better world for everyone – “The World of

Tomorrow” – in this period of rising prosperity and industrial progress.

the Wyeth legacy: Paintings by N.C., Andrew, and Jamie from the Cowan Collectionthrough February 13, 2011Mezzanine

For three generations the Wyeth family has been legendary in American art. N.C. Wyeth was among the most acclaimed illustrators of the early twentieth century while his son Andrew became one of the most widely recognized artists of all time. This artistic tradition continues with his son Jamie. The fifteen paintings in this exhibition are the bequest of long-time Philbrook patron Marylouise Cowan.

Celebrated for her etchings, Gene Kloss documented the landscape and people of the Southwest from Taos, New Mexico, to the coast of California. Kloss was active for most of the twentieth century and her art provided great insight into the people of New Mexico, their relationship to the environment and their religious rituals.

American streamlined Design: the World of tomorrowFebruary 6 – May 15, 2011Helmerich Gallery

The twentieth century reveled in machines and the speed they made possible. Sleek aerodynamic styling embodied a new and modern beauty. From the late 1920s to the 1950s, streamlining became the popular American design idiom for objects ranging from toy scooters to typewriters. This exhibition features more than 180 objects by such designers as Raymond Loewy, Donald Deskey, Henry Dreyfuss, Norman Bel Geddes and Walter Dorwin Teague.

rauschenberg at GeminiJune 12 – September 11, 2011

Beginning in 1967, Robert Rauschenberg – best-known for his radically innovative “Combines” of the 1950s and 60s – created groundbreaking assemblages at Gemini, G.E.L, the renowned multiples workshop in West Hollywood, CA. Just as Rauschenberg collapsed traditional forms in American painting with his progressive collages, so too did he shatter norms in printmaking. The exhibition will feature his ambitious three-decade collaboration with Gemini printers, an association which expanded definitions of a “print” by pushing physical dimensions, increasing variability between editions, and combining various media and disparate imagery into one work.

Painting in europe 1600-1800: highlights from the speed Art MuseumOctober 9, 2011 – January 8, 2012

The seventeenth- and eighteenth-centuries were periods of intense artistic innovation and development in Europe. The Speed Art Museum in Louisville, KY is one of this country’s premier regional museums, and their European collection is noted for its exceptionally high quality Baroque and Rococo art. Philbrook will feature more than seventy paintings carefully selected from the Speed’s collection by such major artists as Rubens, Rembrandt, Gainsborough and Tiepolo.

...and Coming

Just a few weeks ago, one of Philbrook’s smallest collections received some very welcome attention. Thanks to a generous grant awarded by the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, we were able to bring in two renowned experts to study and perform a conservation assessment of our collection of more than forty portrait miniatures. The majority of these delicate and diminutive images, some of which are smaller than a postage stamp, were originally given to

the museum by the Starr Family, and form a sizeable and important part of Philbrook’s collection of European and American portraits. The miniatures, and the results of this new research, will be featured in an innovative exhibition here at Philbrook in April 2011 called Precious Possessions: The Art of the Portrait Miniature.

Have you noticed some new paintings on our walls? Philbrook has received some significant loans which will add great depth to our American and European departments over the next few months. The first selection includes four paintings on loan from the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas ranging in date from 1875-1963 and one large modernist painting by Stuart Davis on loan from the Vilcek Foundation in New York. Come view these exciting temporary additions and find a new favorite among the works spanning the naturalizing romanticism of the late nineteenth century to the painterly expressions of 1960s America.

In the spirit of exchange, Philbrook will loan three pieces from our permanent collection to the following upcoming exhibitions:

Alexandre Hogue: An American Visionary, (opening at the Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi, January 2011). Philbrook will loan Erosion No. 2 – Mother Earth Laid Bare, 1936 by Alexandre Hogue.

The Orient Expressed: Japan’s Influence on Western Art 1854-1918 (opening at Mississippi Museum of Art, January 2011 and traveling). Philbrook will loan The Blue Kimono, 1915, by William Merritt Chase.

Caravaggio and his Circle in Rome (opening at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, June 2011 and traveling to the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth). Philbrook will loan Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness by Tanzio da Varallo and will receive Saint Matthew, 1632 by Jusepe de Ribera in trade from the Kimbell.

These cornerstones of our collection will be missed while away on loan. We do feel, however, that such partnerships make us stronger by broadening the visibility of Philbrook’s collection beyond this region and opening the doors for reciprocal exchange with other museums nationwide.

spring is (almost) here! After two years without a spring bulb display, you will now have even more reasons to visit the gardens in March and April. In the East Formal Garden, orange Crown Imperial’s will stand tall above the yellow and orange Tahiti daffodils while purple grape hyacinths run amuck through the beds. In the Rock Garden, Narcissus ‘Topolino’ will gracefully nod among pastel windflowers and pansies. Around the gardens, you will see Primula, Crocus, Chionodoxa, and Violas, among the flowering Forsythia, redbuds, and dogwoods bringing the first signs of spring to our beautiful gardens. It will be a welcome sight after our long, cold winter.

What happened to our Arborvitae?

Philbrook’s gardens are home to over 460 ‘Emerald’ Arborvitae and 55 ‘Green Giant’ Arborvitae. With such a large colony of one type of tree, we are able to really notice when something appears to be going wrong with the plants health. Our arborvitae trees began a rapid decline beginning in late July. The tips of the branches began to brown and patches of branches in the trees would die out completely. We became very concerned and began investigating the problem. Spider mites were found and miticides were applied. We discovered some fungal spores and applied fungicides. Our garden staff conducted soil fertility and pH tests and consulted with Tulsa County Extension Agent, Brian Jervis. Everyone came to the same conclusion: we were stumped (pun intended). So we called in the big guns: Oklahoma State University’s Extension Plant Pathologist and Entomologist. They visited the gardens, took away a couple of trees to test in their laboratories, and their conclusion: it’s the weather! After reviewing all of the museum’s records for the trees cultural care, the weather over the past three years, and laboratory researching, we have all determined that weather was the problem.

Grow to Give 2.0Philbrook & the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma

We had a very successful growing season and the fall harvest was no exception. At the end of the harvest, we have donated 2,810 pounds for 2010. That brings our two year total well over two tons of fresh vegetables and a project total of 4,310 pounds. We are planning the spring vegetable garden for 2011, and our goal is to donate another 1,000 pounds. Stay tuned for updates.

Arborvitaes all over the state of Oklahoma have been in a sharp decline after this summer’s extreme heat and humidity. Oklahoma is as far south as Arborvitae like to live. Temperatures over 100 degrees for so many days on end, and the lack of adequate rainfall during long dry spells, combined to create a perfect storm to reduce the plants vigor. We will be changing these trees in our gardens to a variety of trees better suited to the extremes of Oklahoma weather. As one of our most devoted trustees said, “Gardening is not for wimps.”

Planned Giving Philbrook is the recipient of a generous bequest from long-time patron, Marylouise Cowan. Through February 13, 2011, fifteen Wyeth paintings will be exhibited on the Mezzanine. The legacy of the Wyeth family has been legendary in American art for three generations. N.C. Wyeth was among the most acclaimed illustrators of the early 20th century while his son Andrew became one of the most widely recognized artists of all time. This artistic tradition continues with Andrew’s son Jamie. 

Marylouise Cowan’s gift of these renowned works continues the rich Philbrook tradition, the legacy of art.

On September 24, members of the Masters Society gathered for a very special dinner recognizing their support of Philbrook. The evening began with rum cocktails and sparkling wine in the east formal garden and featured an impressive five-course meal prepared by the 2010 Puerto Rico National Culinary team. The Recognition Dinner is one way Philbrook expresses its appreciation for the generosity Masters Society members show the museum.

If you would like to get more deeply involved in the life of the museum and enjoy one-of-a-kind evenings like this, please consider joining the Masters Society. Membership begins at $2,000 annually ($1,000 for those under age 45), and multiple payments are accepted.

Juicy StatementJuicy Salif design Philippe starck, 1990

this iconic item remains unparalleled in its ability to generate discussions about its meaning and design. As well as being the most controversial citrus fruit squeezer of all time (granted, not a ton of competition), it’s one of the single most important pieces of industrial design in the past 25 years. And to top it off, this item actually does an outstanding job. if great design is all about the marriage of form and function, there are few examples better than this.
