Georgia Museum of Art facet | Spring 2018

s I write, it is early morning on January 2, 2018, after the Georgia Bulldogs have just won a spot in the NCAA national championship game against the University of Alabama—thus, an all-SEC final.

Hooray! Yes, I am a fan of football, especially of the SEC.

I am equally, if not more so, a fan of academic museums, in whatever guise they appear on individual campuses. They can be devoted to art, history, science or nature. They can be zoos or arboreta, children’s museums, even for-profit museums. They can be rarefied or narrowly focused on such objects and subjects as textiles or folk art, and they can be even more specific in celebrating bowling balls, Corvettes, quilts or lamps. They can concentrate on the history of ideas, such as the Wolfsonian’s focus on propaganda in Miami Beach, or they can be museums of conscience such as the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Thus, even though the museum I serve focuses on art and its history and practice, I learn from and enjoy other institutions that collect and interpret not only the objects of humans’ shared past, present and future, but also museums that gather and disseminate knowledge, that provoke, inspire and encourage the learning that ensues from study of material and visual culture. On this campus, we have four such institutions: the Georgia Museum of Art, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, the Georgia Museum of Natural History and the university’s Special Collections Libraries, all with wonders to behold and knowledge to impart.

n o s i A Legacy of Giving: C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry May 12 – August 5, 2018

In 2017, the Georgia Museum of Art received a gift of a significant group of paintings and works on paper from C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry.

Mrs. Terry and her late husband have generously supported many endeavors across the University of Georgia for decades, including the Terry College of Business, which bears their name. Together, they collected these works of French and American art with a discriminating eye to hang in their home.

The resulting group features delicate watercolors by Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent and Andrew Wyeth, a pastel by Childe Hassam and oils by John Twachtman, Maurice Prendergast and John Leslie Breck, among others. The intimate exhibition will feature all 14 works, which greatly increase the museum’s holdings by some of these major artists.

Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection June 30 – September 23, 2018 “Central to Their Lives,” organized by the Johnson Collection, Spartanburg, South Carolina, examines the achievements of women artists working in and inspired by the American South. Spanning the decades between the late 1890s and early 1960s, it looks at the particularly complex challenges these artists confronted in a traditionally conservative region during a period in which women’s social, cultural and political roles were being redefined and reinterpreted. How did the variables of historical gender norms, educational barriers, race, regionalism, sisterhood, suffrage and modernism mitigate and motivate women seeking expression on canvas or in clay? Working from studio space in spare rooms at home or on the world stage, these artists made remarkable contributions by fostering future generations of artists through instruction, incorporating new aesthetics into the fine arts and challenging the status quo.

This exhibition includes works by Minnie Evans, Anne Goldthwaite, Clementine Hunter, Nell Choate Jones, Ella Sophonisba Hergesheimer, Alma Thomas, Mary Leath Thomas, Elizabeth O’Neill Verner and Kate Freeman Clark, in sculpture, drawing and painting.

had such good fortune.”

Its business school bears their name, as it has since 1991, but they have also supported faculty chairs, the general scholarship fund at the university and the College of Pharmacy. Their legacy continues through Mrs. Terry’s latest gift: 14 paintings and works on paper to the collection of the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia.

Throughout her life, Mrs. Terry has focused her philanthropy on three areas: education, children’s charities and the arts. She has been a trustee of Jacksonville University and served on the boards of the Wolfson Children’s Hospital, the Children’s Home Society, the Salvation Army, the Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless and the Jacksonville Symphony. Mr. Terry graduated from what was then UGA’s school of commerce in 1939, then became president of Dependable Insurance Co., which he built into a major corporation in Jacksonville, Florida, where the couple made their home. He passed away in 1998, but Mrs. Terry has continued the legacy of giving that they began together. She received an honorary doctoral degree from the University of Georgia in 2009 and served recently as honorary chair of the very successful Building Terry campaign at UGA’s Terry College of Business.

A native of Quitman, Georgia, and a graduate of Valdosta State University, Mary Virginia Terry understands the impact that art can make on children’s lives and the way that it can provide UGA students with a well-rounded experience. She and her husband built their collection of art together, and these 14 works greatly increase the museum’s holdings by the major artists who created them.

It would be rare and marvelous to receive a gift of a single work by Childe Hassam, John Henry Twachtman, Maurice Prendergast, Andrew Wyeth, Ernest Lawson, Winslow Homer, Gifford Beal or John Singer Sargent. To receive works by all of these artists at once, in a single gift, is extraordinary. Until Mrs. Terry made her gift, the museum did not own a painting by Sargent, only a drawing. Not only are the works beautiful and important, but they also fill some gaps in its collection, allowing UGA students and the wider Athens-area community to benefit from seeing these works in person. All 14 works will be on display at the museum this spring, in the exhibition “A Legacy of Giving: C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry,” on view May 12 through August 5.

William U. Eiland visited Mrs. Terry several times over the years of his tenure as director of the museum and said, of this extraordinary gift, “My reaction at hearing from Mrs. Terry that she was making this gift to the museum? Joy. Unaffected, pure joy. And gratefulness, on behalf of generations of students yet to enroll at the university.”

Mary Virginia Terry has said, “My husband and I just felt we wanted to give back because we had such good fortune.” They chose to focus on the arts, hospitals, education and children’s concerns because, “We felt those were important both for the future and for the needs we saw now.” Mrs. Terry is a modest person, who does not love the spotlight, but she accepts public recognition in the hope that her giving will serve as an example to others. For more than half a century, she has provided support to the University of Georgia that has helped it strengthen academic and research programs. The museum is proud and grateful to be among the beneficiaries of their kindness.

Whether it be buried treasure, winning the lottery or finding a suitcase full of millions of dollars, everyone is familiar with the rags-toriches story, including the ones featured on PBS’ popular Antiques Roadshow program. If you’ve ever wondered whether the contents of your attic could have you living a life of leisure, you’ll have a chance to find out this May at the Georgia Museum of Art.

On May 11 and 12, the museum will host “The Collectors Road Show: Art, Heirlooms and Treasures,” with numerous appraisal opportunities for both members and non-members.

On May 11, expert appraisers from Bonhams will do formal, in-home valuations for upper-level event sponsors. The museum will then host a Patrons Party that evening, featuring more chances for in-depth appraisals and a silent auction. Patrons Party tickets may be purchased separately from event sponsorship, $100 for non-members and $85 for members.

On May 12, both museum members and the general public can bring items to the museum for informal, verbal appraisal by the Bonhams’ experts.

Appointments are $15 for members and $20 for non-members per item. Each additional item will cost $10, with a limit of three items per person.

headquartered in London but has salesrooms in New York and Los Angeles. It specializes in buying and selling in every major area of art, antiques, jewelry and cars.

The Collectors have acquired various works of art that are beloved objects of the permanent collection. Most recently, the Collectors obtained the sculpture bust “Minnehaha” by famed African-American and Chippewa artist Edmonia Lewis, who is considered to be one of the most influential female artists of the 19th century. Other notable works of art that have been acquired by the Collectors include a lithograph after artist Édouard Manet, an engraving from the 1620s and an oil painting of the famed Blue Ridge Mountains by American landscape painter William Sonntag.

www.georgiamuseum.org

The event serves as the Collectors’ biennial fundraiser to benefit the museum’s permanent collection. Membership in the Collectors is open to contributing level members (and above). The group raises funds for acquisitions, organizes lectures, visits homes of art enthusiasts and hosts excursions to other cities. Every Collectors event is an opportunity to learn and appreciate art, and the group’s membership has continued to grow.
