FROM THE DIRECTOR It’s hard to believe the first quarter of 2018 has come and gone, and we are already midway through the second quarter of the year.

The museum’s centennial year will be here in no time, and everyone at The DAI is busy planning for this momentous event!

Speaking of 2017, you can find a link in this issue to the museum’s 2017 Community Report, released at our Annual Meeting in late winter. The Community Report highlights all of the fantastic things that the museum accomplished in 2017.

We hope you had the opportunity to visit the special exhibition Above the Fold: New Expressions in Origami. The community really embraced this charming exhibition, with more than 12,000 people visiting! Thank you to everyone who visited!

Many great things are happening right now at your Dayton Art Institute including an extensive renovation and rededication of our Mimi and Stuart Rose Auditorium that was completed in April, word that we will receive state funding to help restore the historic Grand Staircase, and reinterpretation and reinstallation of our African Gallery over the summer.

Be sure to mark your calendars for our summer exhibition, Yousuf Karsh: American Portraits, an amazing collection of iconic images by the famed photographer that comes to us from the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. In conjunction with the exhibition, we will also reach into our extensive collection of images by acclaimed Dayton photographer Jane Reece for a companion exhibition.You will find features about both exhibitions in this issue.

Gala season is in full swing and Art Ball is just around the corner as this issue of the Member Magazine is published. Even if you’re not able to attend this important museum fundraiser this year, you can still help support it and The DAI by purchasing Grand Draw Raffle tickets at daytonartinstitute.org/raffle. Last year, Art Ball raised nearly $165,000 for museum operations.

We hope your summer plans include many visits to The DAI, both for special exhibitions and to see the changes that will transform the museum. We couldn’t do everything we do here at The Dayton Art Institute without you, and we thank you for your continued and dedicated support.

YOUSUF KARSH: AMERICAN PORTRAITS June 23 – September 16

Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Grace Kelly. Jackie Robinson. Elizabeth Arden.

Albert Einstein.

These are a few of the celebrities, creatives, inventors, business people, and politicians who played pivotal roles in the history and identity of America in the 20th century. Their unforgettable portraits will be on view this summer in the special exhibition, Yousuf Karsh: American Portraits.

Yousuf Karsh (1908–2002) created many of the iconic portraits of influential men and women of the 20th century. His career spanned nearly six decades and more than 20 of his images appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine. With a signature, artistic style and known for his ability to develop a genuine rapport with his sitters, Karsh created portraits that were both revealing and respectful.

An Armenian refugee, Karsh immigrated to Canada in 1925. His uncle was a professional photographer who, in 1928, facilitated Karsh’s apprenticeship with the renowned Boston portrait photographer John H. Garo. By the time Karsh returned to Canada in 1931, he had “set [his] heart on photographing those men and women who leave their mark on the world,” and two years later, he opened a portrait studio in Ottawa.

The phenomenal success of his 1941 portrait of Winston Churchill, included in this exhibition, launched Karsh’s career. Thereafter, he traveled the world fulfilling portrait commissions and editorial assignments, even serving as a visiting professor at Ohio University in Athens, OH. Although he worked internationally, his images of Americans are among his finest.

Yousuf Karsh: American Portraits features 48 black-and-white photographs from the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, the majority of which were gifted to the National Portrait Gallery from Karsh’s wife, Estrellita Karsh. This exhibition has been organized by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C. For more about the exhibition, go to daytonartinstitute.org/americanportraits.

Join the conversation on social media with the hashtag #AmericanPortraitsDAI. Be sure to see page 6 of this issue for more information about the companion exhibition Jane Reece Photographs, drawn from The DAI’s extensive collection of the Dayton photographer’s work.

JANE REECE PHOTOGRAPHS JUNE 23–SEPTEMBER 16 SPECIAL EXHIBITION GALLERIES

CURATORIAL CONVERSATIONS

In conjunction with The DAI’s summer special exhibition, Yousuf Karsh: American Portraits, a selection of Jane Reece’s work will be on display, complementing this exhibition while demonstrating a different stylistic approach to photography. Her commissions of celebrities and artists included Herman Sachs, Count Leo Tolstoy, and Helen Keller (whose later portrait by Yousuf Karsh will also be on view at The DAI).

This exhibition will present engaging portraits of early 20th century celebrities, poetic and soft-focused images demonstrating the tenets of Pictorialism, as well as a selection Reece’s autochromes, considered the first commercially successful color photography process.

ABOVE: Jane Reece (American, 1868–1961), Flowering Crabtree, early 20th century, autochrome on glass, 4 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches. Gift of Miss Jane Reece, 1952.19.538

Admission to this exhibition is included as part of Yousuf Karsh: American Portraits; cannot be purchased separately.

Commemorating the artist’s 150th birthday, the museum will display photographs by prominent Dayton photographer Jane Reece (1868–1961).

At a time when most women photographers were labeled “amateurs,” Reece owned a profitable portraiture business. She exhibited photographs nationally and internationally, winning various awards and honors, and was one of the first women to be admitted to the Pictorial Photographers of America. Reece was also influential in The Dayton Art Institute’s early display of photography as well as the growth of its photographic collection—Reece donated her collection of Camera Works magazines to the museum, as well as more than 400 of her “Salon” prints. After her death in 1961, the rest of her estate was left to the museum, including more than 9,000 glass negatives.

Continuing this summer is the everbubbly event, Curatorial Conservations!

Join a member of the curatorial team for a casual discussion of art, followed by a champagne toast. All events are Thursday evenings, starting at 6 p.m.

FOCUS EXHIBITION ALL IN A DAY’S WORK: LABOR IN JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINTS GALLERY 105, APRIL 18 – JULY 15, 2018 Woodblock prints from the Edo period (1603–1868) capture the excitement and activity of everyday life. During this time, Japanese society was divided into four main classes: samurai, farmers, craftspeople, and merchants. The tasks, tools and clothes associated with each of these groups varied, creating a diverse social fabric that provided

NEW FACES ON VIEW AT THE DAI!

Changes continue in the collection galleries at The DAI! A recent acquisition, Portrait of Mrs. Henry Ainslie with Her Son Henry (1787) by leading British portraitist George Romney,

GALLERY 103: BUDDHIST ART: AN ENLIGHTENED THREAD THROUGH ASIA NOW OPEN!

How do you practice mindfulness and express compassion? Discover one way in a new gallery focused on the arts of Buddhism in The Patterson-Kettering Wing of Asian Art. One of the major world religions, Buddhism spread across Asia through dedicated communities of followers and trade networks, influencing every culture in some way.

Visual art and finely crafted objects play a central role in communicating the message of Buddhism and enhancing devotional practices, engaging both the senses and the mind. Discover more about the people and ideas of this vibrant tradition through a variety of artworks representing the breadth of Buddhist art, covering some 2,000 years and most Asian cultures.

can now be seen in Gallery 213. Purchased with funds from The Margie Mack Yowell Estate, this endearing image of a mother and child demonstrates a shift in societal attitudes towards children in the 18th century, as well as exemplifying Romney’s ability to paint diaphanous muslin.

Another important acquisition through the generosity of Don and Kit Desch, The First Born (around 1930) by Alfred Ramos Martinez is now on view in the museum’s Rotunda.

Martínez combined subjects from his native Mexico with the influences of European art, and, alongside several other Mexican artists, emphasized national identity in their work to create a new, national art. This painting, while not dated, was likely made after the birth of his daughter in 1929. The First Born joins other portraits in our entry gallery to welcome all visitors to the museum, including artworks by Cecilia Beaux, Fairfield Porter, Alison Van Pelt, Andy Warhol, and Kehinde Wiley.

CONSERVATION EFFORTS CONTINUE, PRESERVING AND PRESENTING THE DAI COLLECTION IN THE BEST POSSIBLE LIGHT!

open to the natural elements, so many of the remaining examples are worn, including damage from insects, as seen here.

With funds generously provided by The Kettering Fund, the sculpture went to the Cincinnati Art Museum conservation lab for several months in 2017. Treatment included carefully removing dirt and insect debris, cleaning with a smoke sponge, and stabilizing many of the holes with Japanese tissue paper. Also, a past repair on the feet had excessive glue residue that made the sculpture unstable; the adhesive was softened with a heat gun, removed, and a better joint was made with conservation-appropriate adhesives.

The sculpture now stands in the newly opened Buddhist Art Gallery (Gallery 103).

For information on how you can support The DAI collection, please contact Brandy McFall, Development Director, at bmcfall@daytonart.org.

Several artworks have returned from conservation and are now prominently on display. With funds generously provided by Darlene and Gordon Walbroehl, the portrait, John Jeffries, First Marquess of Camden (18th century) by Thomas Gainsborough was recently cleaned and is now on view in Gallery 213.

Conservators removed the painting’s old, yellowed varnish, as well as later overpainting, allowing guests to now see the color palette and stroke technique used by Gainsborough that made him one of the premier British portraitists of the late 18th century.

Also on view for the first time in 30 years is a Japanese Buddha statue. The sculpture dates to the Heian era (794–1185 CE) and is a good example of Buddhist sculpture from the period, with shallow carving and graceful lines. Wood sculptures such as this were often displayed

Our annual Art Ball returns on Saturday, June 9!

This black-tie gala, presented by Morgan Stanley, is the culmination of many months of hard work by The DAI’s Associate Board and is one of the museum’s largest fundraisers.

This year’s Art Ball theme is A Pop of Color, and chairs Nat Croumer and Jeff Pizza have selected Willem de Kooning’s Untitled (1977) as the featured artwork.

“We’ve long been passionate about art, particularly modern art and glass, and count ourselves fortunate to be a part of The DAI,” said Nat and Jeff. “In putting together the theme for this year’s Art Ball, we really wanted to focus on making the event a true experience in every way: full of light, laughter, energy, glamour, stellar food and wine and a pop of color wherever guests’ eyes may fall. The de Kooning embodies all of those concepts; it has movement, color, excitement and won’t fail to delight—just like this year’s Art Ball!”

The VIP Cocktail Hour returns this year, offering early entry to the event, at 6:30 p.m., for a private reception, with high-end wines and hors d’oeuvres. Space is limited for the extra-cost VIP Cocktail Hour—make your reservations early!

Art Ball is a major fundraiser for the museum, and a key to this effort is the Grand Draw Raffle. Only 600 tickets will be sold for $100 each, with the chance to win fabulous prize packages.

For more information about Art Ball, visit daytonartinstitute.org/artball.

Please note that the museum will be closed to the public June 6–10 due to Art Ball.

ORGAN CONCERTS BEGIN IN JUNE

PRESENTED BY

Treat yourself to a vintage experience! A concert on our newly restored organ will take you back in time.

A new series of performances on the museum’s historic Skinner pipe organ will begin in June. An extensive restoration of the organ–one of the few of its kind still in existence–was completed in late 2017, and the Dayton Chapter of the American Guild of Organists presented several informal performances during the fall and winter.

September

21-23

This new series of concerts will take place on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, beginning June 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. Details for each concert were still being finalized as this issue of the Member Magazine was published.

Watch daytonartinstitute.org/organ for updates and more information. All performances are free to members and included in museum suggested general admission for non-members.

The DAI’s organ was built by the Skinner Organ Company in 1929, during an era when art museums regarded pipe organs as a natural addition to the arts. Skinner built many organs for museums, including the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum, as well as home organs such as those in the Kettering and Deeds Mansions here in Dayton.

The pipes and louvers in the organ are like an abstract sculpture.

The DAI ended 2017 with a balanced operating budget and also had an economic impact of more than $7.8 million on the region.

NANCY CASH NAMED VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR The museum couldn’t do everything it does without the support of its amazing Leonardo League volunteers. In 2017, more than 600 volunteers contributed more than 13,000 hours to the museum, the equivalent of $314,000! On March 4, The DAI honored and recognized all of its many volunteers at the annual Volunteer Appreciation and Service Awards Luncheon.

Tuckpointing of the Entrance Rotunda began last fall, and tuckpointing of the remainder of the historic museum building resumed this spring. This impor tant building maintenance was funded by a generous gift from The Schiewetz Foundation Inc. The Mimi and Stuart Rose Auditorium is simply spectacular following renovations in early 2018.

EXCITING UPDATES AT YOUR DAYTON ART INSTITUTE Many exciting things continue to happen at The Dayton Ar t Institute, as construction, renovation and galler y reinterpretation continue in anticipation of the museum’s 2019 centennial.

From left to right: Monica Walker, Heather Booher, Nancy Cash, and Michael Roediger.

Longtime Museum Store volunteer Nancy Cash was honored at the luncheon as The DAI’s Volunteer of the Year. Since 2001, Nancy has been an integral par t of The Museum Store team, volunteering in the store, as well as suppor ting the store during Oktoberfest and at the annual Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm holiday shopping event, and volunteering countless hours during inventory time. Nancy has a special ability to connect on a personal level with guests, welcoming them to the store and engaging them in conversation. Nancy Cash is much more than a volunteer, she is a par t of The DAI’s family!

Are you interested in becoming a volunteer at The DAI? The museum needs individuals, of all ages and abilities, to fill a variety of volunteer roles within the museum, including assisting at the Guest Services Desk, serving as ticket takers at events and exhibitions, serving as ushers, assisting in The Museum Store, and more.
