WINTER 2019

From the Director Last year, a young bride in a gown, and her new husband, wearing a tuxedo, arrived at Winterlights—and brought their wedding party with them. They wanted a unique and affordable way to celebrate after their ceremony, and we were honored they chose to share their special day at Newfields.

There really is something magical about Winterlights presented by Bank of America, which has inspired more than 60 marriage proposals. This spectacular event is now in its third year, which we believe qualifies it as an official holiday tradition in Central Indiana. That’s what inspired the theme behind this magazine's edition, as we hope to connect with the holiday rituals that you and your loved ones hold dear.

We at Newfields would also like to celebrate one of our favorite traditions— working with our community partners —and honor the artists, organizations, donors, members, and volunteers who have helped us create exceptional art and nature experiences.

For example, nearly 800 volunteers donated their time during the last fiscal year at Newfields, and the top person— who declined to be recognized by name —dedicated 1,330 hours of his talent and expertise. We are grateful for every single hour that our volunteers give.

This fall, as part of Harvest presented by JPMorgan Chase & Co., we collaborated with social practice artist Seitu Jones, along with local neighborhoods, creatives, and food growers, to host a community meal for 300 people.

Indianapolis artist LaShawnda Crowe

Storm created a stunning 421-foot-long quilt for the table.

In this issue, we recognize and honor the generous donors who had an incredible impact on what we have recently been able to achieve.

We are also thankful to the 12 community organizations that helped distribute complimentary invitations so we could welcome 5,000 people last year to Winterlights. That included the young couple and their wedding party, whom we hope will visit again this year so we can wish them a happy first anniversary.

As 2019 comes to a close, I’d also like to recognize the contributions of Newfields employees, who work together every day to create delightful and welcoming experiences for our guests. We hope you will enjoy the story of one of those talented and dedicated employees, Chief Conservator David Miller, who will retire in January after 42 years here.

David has spent much of his adult life in service to the IMA at Newfields and its great art collection, for which we are most grateful. While David will be missed, his legacy is one upon which the future will be built.

INSPIRED SIPS

A MOVING PIECE OF WORK

Saturday, February 8 / 2–4 pm / Studio 3 Thursday, March 12 / 6–8 pm / Studio 3 $30 members / $35 public / Registration required

Fletcher Benton (1931–2019), who was born in Ohio but lived in San Francisco for most of his life, created sculptures in a variety of media during a career that spanned over six decades. Benton (pictured above) is best known for the mechanized sculptures he made during the 1960s and early 1970s, works central to the history of kinetic art.

These new classes creatively pair art instruction with small bites and beverages. In February, experiment with printmaking techniques and love themes, and learn about Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture.

In March, shake off the winter blues by drawing flowers from the Elder Greenhouse. Learn about the contested history of Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings and visit Jimson Weed in the IMA Galleries. Ticket price includes snacks and a beverage.

THE ART BIDDER’S BRAIN Do art collectors bid at auction to actually win—or to simply avoid losing? A new book by Shirley Mueller, Inside the Head of a Collector: Neuropsychological Forces at Play (Lucia Marquand, 2019), uses science to help collectors and bidders understand what drives their sometimes-mysterious behavior.

“As a highly respected London dealer once said to his underbidder at auction, ‘I don’t know whether I paid too much, but I got it, and you didn’t,’” Mueller wrote in the book.

Mueller, an adjunct professor in neurology at Indiana University, is a collector and scholar of Chinese art porcelain. In 2017, she was the guest curator for Elegance from the East: New Insights into Old Porcelain at Newfields. She is also a Newfields' Trustee.

Her book is available at The Museum & Garden Shop or at amazon.com.

Folded Circle Dynamics Red Phase III (1976) is Benton's secondlargest kinetic work. Commissioned by the National Bank of Ohio for its building in Columbus, the 2,800-pound, 15-foot-tall sculpture was designed as an abstract homage to the ancient Greek sculptor Polyclitus.

The sculpture will go on display in the Pulliam Family Great Hall on February 19. The work comes to the IMA as a promised gift from the collection of Jon and Molly Ott, with funds for conservation provided by the Alliance of Newfields.

GET READY FOR SUMMER CAMP SIGN-UP Newfields’ popular summer camps will return in 2020 for children ages 4–13. This year, the camps will only be open to Newfields members (at the Family-level membership or above). To accommodate as many families as possible who wish to register, a lottery system will be used. The goal is to improve the registration process and ensure that siblings can attend camp together. Lottery applications will be available January 6–13. Questions? Please e-mail IMASummerCamp@discovernewfields.org.

Merry and Memorable Winterlights November 23, 2019 to January 3, 2020 5 pm to 9:30 pm / Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 5 pm to 10 pm / Fridays and Saturdays Closed Mondays except for November 25, December 23, and December 30 Member tickets: $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 6-17, and free for children 5 and younger.

Winterlights presented by Bank of America returns for a third year, making it an official holiday tradition. While you were shopping for back-to-school clothes, or returning from summer vacation, our crew started sculpting more than one million lights into spectacular outdoor displays such as the Frosted Forest, where towering trees look almost otherworldly, and the Landscape of Light, a "dance" performance of 300,000 lights, set to The Nutcracker Suite.

Holiday magic has been a tradition at Newfields since 1971, when visitors came to see decorations at the historic Lilly House. This year the festive home features haute, handcrafted paper designs, with surprises in every room. Or, you can step back in time for a midcentury modern Christmas at the Miller House and Garden in Columbus, Indiana, and get a glimpse of how industrialist Irwin Miller, his wife, Xenia, and their five children celebrated in whimsical, inviting style.

This year, you can look forward to a redesigned Wintermarket in the Deer Zink Special Events Pavilion. Start your outdoor adventure at the Snowflake Bridge, where handmade lanterns and nearly 50 giant, custom-made glittering snowflakes will guide your path. Make sure to bundle up for the Ice Storm Walk, where digital snowfall drizzles from a 400-foot arched promenade. Warm up your hands with a cup of hot chocolate (spiked or not), or stop by the Girl Scout S’mores Lounge to roast marshmallows over an open fire.

Seasonal music made possible by the generous support of Marianne Williams Tobias.

Deck the Halls

AT THE LILLY HOUSE

AT THE MILLER HOUSE

Open during regular Museum hours November 19, 2019 through January 5, 2020.

12:45 and 2:45 pm November 26, 27, and 30, and Fridays and Saturdays in December / $25

The Lilly House is also open to Winterlights guests.

Admission is included with regular Newfields or Winterlights admission.

Xenia Simons Miller, wife of former Cummins Inc. Chairman and CEO Irwin Miller, collected crèches—or representations of nativity scenes—throughout her life. Her collection, which started with a gift from her daughter, Betsy, grew to hundreds from all over the world, many of which were purchased by Alexander Girard, the architect who worked closely with the Millers.

Remember how much fun it was to cut out paper snowflakes as a child? Our staff and volunteers had just as much fun, if not more, creating paper designs last year for the Lilly House. So much so, that they’re returning with even more dazzling displays this year.

"Imagine yourself dining under a giant paperchain chandelier in the formal dining room, or being surrounded by origami animals while relaxing in the drawing room after a holiday feast," said Jean-Luc Howell, historic site manager.

Howell, along with Marian Keith, greenhouse coordinator, and Sheena Birt, owner of Color Story Studio, will push the limits of paper crafts, brightening the interior with stylized paper floral arrangements. Make sure to stop by the kitchen for a confectionary surprise.

Christmas

Today, the Miller House displays about a dozen crèches on the same 50-foot-long wall of cabinets, bookshelves, and niches where Xenia would use custom paper to create mini-exhibitions. The house is also decorated with a festive tree, poinsettias, and Murano Glass trees. The Millers usually ordered a live tree, balled and burlapped, that was later planted on the hillside by the barn, said Ben Wever, site administrator. But early photographs also show an aluminum tree, which was popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

In 2019, the Miller House and Garden received a prestigious $170,000 grant from the Getty Foundation’s Keeping it Modern initiative. Newfields will work with historic preservation firm PennPraxis to chart the long-term future of the worldrenowned property.

A DIY

Diamond During Winterlights, the Lilly House offers not only a respite from the cold but also its own festive holiday experience. In 2018, Newfields partnered with Color Story Studio to create visual displays and installations in every room. Most decorations were made of paper, inspired in part by J.K. Lilly Jr.'s rare book collection. More than 1,000 handmade ornaments and a half mile of paper chains were created for the Great Hall alone.

One of the most frequently asked questions by last year's Lilly House guests: How can I purchase a diamond ornament, or make my own? Sheena Birt, owner of Color Story Studio, shares easy, step-bystep craft instructions for creating your own at discovernewfields.org.

Solving for Emma

Bourbon Sweet Potatoes

3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 tablespoon of salt 3 to 4 tablespoon bourbon whiskey 4 tablespoon butter or non-dairy butter replacement 4 tablespoon brown sugar 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

By Lexi Miller Marketing & Communications Intern

If you went to the Pop Up: Noodle Shop this summer at Newfields, you might have wondered about the mysterious “Emma” behind the popular Emma’s Noodles dish on the menu. Emma Ryan started as a seasonal hospitality associate in the Beer Garden in 2017, thinking she’d only work through the summer. But one day, Joshua Ratliff, director of Culinary Arts, said to her, “You look like you need to be a baker. Do you want to learn to make bread?”

The closest Emma, 22, had gotten to commercial baking was working as a barista at Starbucks. She spent a day in downtown Indy at Cummins learning to bake bread with a pastry chef who is a friend of Ratliff’s. Next thing you know, she was in the Beer Garden, making fresh bread using local beers. By fall 2018, she was promoted to culinary arts apprentice.

To prepare for the opening of Pop Up:

10

Noodle Shop, Emma spent a week in Columbus learning to make pasta at the Henry Social Club and in the Cummins kitchen. Back at Newfields, she and the culinary staff tweaked the techniques and measurements until they ended up with the perfect ramen for Emma’s Noodles.

Emma, a Butler University graduate, studied criminology and sociology, but quickly discovered how relaxing cooking and baking can be. “Making noodles is a very methodical process, and the constant sound of the mixture mixing is the only time I don’t have music or a podcast playing," she said. "That’s my time to zone out."

While Emma prepares for February's Pop Up: Pie Shop, we asked her to share a favorite family holiday recipe.

STEP 1 Place potato chunks in a pot and cover with water.

STEP 2 Add a tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender (about 15 to 20 minutes).

STEP 3 Drain the cooked potatoes.

Return the warm pot to the stove-top on the lowest heat. Add butter and bourbon, stirring until the two are blended.

STEP 4 Add the drained potatoes back to the pot.

STEP 5 Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract.

STEP 6 Mash everything up with a potato masher.

STEP 7 Taste! If necessary, add more butter, bourbon, salt, brown sugar, or even some black pepper.

The Princess AND THE PLEA Left: Edward Burne-Jones (British, 1833–1898), The Petition to the King (left) and The Princess Drawing the Lot (right) from the seven-painting cycle, St. George and the Dragon, 1865–1866. On loan from Hanover College.

By Annette Schlagenhauff, PhD Curator of European Art

Over the summer, two extraordinary paintings by British painter Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) were installed in our European galleries. Both are on loan from Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana, and constitute two of a seven-part cycle of paintings depicting the legend of St. George and the Dragon.

This legend celebrates the triumph of good over evil, but why is the dragon missing in the two Hanover College paintings?

Burne-Jones chose to place the majority of his attention on the solemn drama leading up to the dragon-slaying scene.

In the first of the two paintings, The Petition to the King, the beleaguered townspeople show the king a bag of bones from the dragon’s latest victim. The high priest recommends making a human sacrifice to the dragon to abate additional disaster. In the next painting, The Princess Drawing the Lot, the young townswomen line up to draw lots for this dubious privilege. Fatefully, the king’s daughter draws the lot that reads

12

“MORITURA” (she will die), as mothers and fathers look on from beyond the elevated foreground platform.

Four paintings then follow in Burne-Jones’s narrative, in which the princess is led to the dragon and tied to a tree. Next, St. George slays the dragon. He then escorts the princess back to her townspeople to live happily ever after.

Burne-Jones created this paintings cycle in 1865-1866, early in his career. In 1939, industrialist William Henry Donner, who graduated from Hanover College in 1887, purchased the paintings at auction in London and gave them to his alma mater.

Today Burne-Jones is the best-known member of the Pre-Raphaelite group, which believed in the superiority of Italian art before Raphael (1483-1520). This group of 19th-century British artists felt that art had lost its intensity after Raphael, that it had relinquished its conviction to elevate human virtues while depicting the beauty

of nature. Often the Pre-Raphaelites looked to Medieval legends of chivalry for their re-imagined subject matter, as in the legend of St. George.

Both Hanover College paintings are framed in Renaissance-style tablernacle frames (also known as “aedicular” or “altarpiece” frames) designed by BurneJones himself about 30 years after he finished the paintings. The Pre-Raphaelites ardently believed a magnificent frame was integral to the work of art, and the two Hanover paintings have miraculously retained their artist-designed frames until this day.

The five other paintings in the St. George and the Dragon cycle are dispersed into public and private collections around the globe–in France, the United Kingdom, and Australia. That makes the chance to see two paintings here an opportunity not to be missed!

Magic

By Amanda Kingsbury Managing Editor

David Miller has spent 42 years getting up-close and personal with some of the world’s greatest paintings—close enough, for example, to find a hidden truth in the underlayers of a Rembrandt portrait, tipped off by an earlier position of the artist's hat. The discovery led to a major victory-dance moment for the IMA. Miller even had a 13-year, on-and-off conservation relationship with one especially damaged Venetian painting: Portrait of a Man by Titian.

After four decades of protecting and preserving art at the IMA, Miller will retire in January. But his Plan A was to care for patients, not paintings. Miller enrolled as a pre-med student at Hofstra University, a private college on Long Island, but soon realized he didn’t want to be a doctor. He thought about medical illustration, as a way to combine his love of art and science. That’s when he “stumbled into” an introductory conservation course taught by Mervin Honig, a paintings conservator in private practice.

“Immediately, the bells and whistles went off,” Miller said.

So it’s not surprising that, when the chief conservator was asked which painting he would rush to save in a fire, he didn’t pick just one.

“It’s a toss-up between the paintings that mean the most to me because I’ve spent the most time with them, either cleaning, treating, or studying them,” Miller said. “So that’s going to be the Van Gogh, the Seurat, or the Rembrandt.”

In that order?

“Depends on where the fire is.”

He switched his major to fine arts and became an apprentice to Honig, who had studied with pioneering art conservators Sheldon and Caroline Keck. After graduation, Miller got a job as a painting restorer at the Julius Lowy and Shar-Sisto Inc., a well-established Manhattan business visited by famous artists.

That’s how he met Andy Warhol and Salvador Dalí.

“Dalí commanded a room when he would come in wearing his cape, and I coveted his walking stick,” Miller remembered.

“He was always interested in buying antique Dutch frames and seeing what was happening with his paintings.”

"Unlike with writing, we can’t hit the delete button and undo something.

If the damage is done, it’s permanent."

— David Miller Miller graduated with a master’s degree and certificate of advanced study in art conservation at the State University of New York, then located in Cooperstown, and interned at the National Gallery of Canada. In 1977, Marty Radecki, the IMA’s head of conservation at the time, offered Miller a position. The East Coast native had a choice of job offers but decided to take a chance on Indianapolis.

“I liked the atmosphere of a smaller museum where I could make a difference,” Miller said. “At that point, we were a nice regional museum and didn’t have the ability or great aspirations to become the national and international force that we are today.”

Ellen Lee, then the IMA’s curator of European art, remembered being excited about Miller’s hire. She called him a “conservator’s conservator. He’s so well-rounded.”

The two collaborated on the acclaimed Seurat at Gravelines: The Last Landscapes exhibition in the Neo-Impressionist gallery in 1990, reuniting four paintings that hadn’t hung together since the artist’s sudden death from illness in 1891 in Paris.

“It was this sort of Cinderella show that had so much poignancy,” Lee said. “The whole idea for the show was David’s, but he won’t tell you that.”

The two also flew in 1997 to Amsterdam on a minute’s notice to examine, and then bid on, a Neo-Impressionist oil painting by Willy Finch at a Christie’s auction. The piece was widely coveted by museums and collectors because sales of Finch paintings were rare.

Following the IMA’s successful bid and Miller’s extensive treatment, the Road to Nieuport now hangs in the IMA. But that’s not the most memorable part of the story.

“At the time, David had a ponytail and he was flying into Detroit to connect to Indianapolis. He got to customs in Detroit and they took one look at him and said, ‘You went to Amsterdam for a day?” Lee said with a laugh. “He of course didn’t tell me this until he was back to business as usual in the lab.”

As conservation has evolved as both an art and science, so has public fascination with the work. In 2018, ArtNet declared “conservators live”—conservators working in view of gallery visitors—a hot museum trend. Well ahead of that trend, in 2007, 30,000 IMA visitors watched Miller and the paintings conservation staff perform treatment on Madonna and Child with St. Justus of Volterra and St. Margaret of Antioch, a fragile Italian Renaissance altarpiece by Bastiano Mainardi.

But art conservation has had its low moments, too. In Borja, Spain, in 2012, the botched restoration of Ecce Homo, a nearly 100-year-old painting of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns, went viral. A well-meaning amateur artist tried to restore the painting, which had hung in a church.

Miller said he’s had his “uh-oh moments,” but nothing that’s caused irretrievable harm.

“There have been times when I’ve woken up at 2 am and actually come in here because I was worried about something undergoing overnight treatment,” he said.

The best conservation work doesn’t often produce a noticeable before-and-after difference. Conservators play a lot of defense— taking measures to protect art from light, temperature, humid-

Some Big Reveals Highlights of David Miller's conservation successes at the IMA: Georges Seurat, The Channel of Gravelines, Petit Fort Phillippe Removal of a century of heavy dirt and grime revealed brilliant colors. Miller also reproduced a Pointillist frame to simulate the lost original.

Vincent van Gogh, Landscape at St. Rémy (Enclosed Field with Peasant), and Claude Monet, Charing Cross Bridge Removal of discolored, aged varnishes recovered original colors and unvarnished surfaces.

Abraham Bloemaert, Coronation Scene This wood panel had originally been cut into two sections: the IMA owned one in 1958, and purchased the missing part in 1993. With help from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s panel painting conservator, Miller rejoined them and treated the painting surfaces to restore the original appearance.

ity, pollutants, travel, and human contact. The field's biggest shift over the past few decades has been a philosophical one: less is more.

“Since David believes, ‘If you can see our work, we haven’t done our job,’ I never know whether art work has undergone conservation unless I’ve been told,” said Ann Stack, who met Miller when she served on the IMA’s Board of Governors. Stack thinks of the conservation lab as a “sacred space,” and calls conservators the “ultimate guardians” of visual art.

“At some point, conservation becomes an art in itself and a form of magic,” she said.

Conservators are part artist, chemist, cultural historian, and detective. Miller said he’s enjoyed the detective work the most.

Particularly when it came to proving the authenticity of one of the IMA's most famous paintings, the Rembrandt Self-Portrait.

In 1980, Miller and Anthony Janson, then the chief curator, started studying the IMA's European paintings for a new catalogue that was being produced. Rembrandt painted his own likeness at least 75 times, and the Museum's Clowes Collection has a portrait that the Dutch master created in his 20s. When Miller arrived in Indianapolis, though, scholars believed that a colleague of Rembrandt’s, Jan Lievens, painted the Clowes version. The two shared a studio and materials. Their styles were similar. The original was thought to hang in the MOA Museum in Atami, Japan.

16

But a radiograph, or X-ray, revealed something interesting in the underlayers of the IMA’s painting: an earlier version of Rembrandt’s hat had been positioned differently, as had the artist’s left shoulder. That kind of thing happens in originals but not copies. Copyists only paint what they see on the surface. Meanwhile, an X-ray of the painting in Japan showed no such changes.

The Clowes Self-Portrait also shares distinct similarities with other unquestioned Rembrandts of that period and is now accepted as the original by leading Rembrandt scholars. It was a big win for Miller, Janson, and the IMA. It’s those kinds of collaborations that Miller values the most as he looks back on his long career. Sure, there were times that he considered offers from other museums, and he’d even have existential “What if?” talks with his dog during their walks together.

“I never found something where the grass was really greener,” he said. “Why have I been here for 42 years? Because I love the people I work with. We’re family. That’s how we’ve made it work through all the ups and downs."

Take Home

Beauty In 2017, Jonathan Wright, The Ruth Lilly Deputy Director of Horticulture & Natural Resources, and his husband, Stuart Alter, bought a house in Fall Creek Place and immediately set out to design the garden spaces. The property included an adjoining lot that was nothing but lawn, and the architecture of the 1890s house— part Victorian, part traditional four square —inspired the shape of the lawn in each "garden room."

For example, a rectangular lawn mirrors the front porch. It flows into a circular lawn

defined by a mass of Hydrangea serrata 'Preziosa,' whose mop-head blooms come in shades of purple that fade to burgundy.

The garden also has Persian ironwood trees, vegetables and herbs, and a back patio accented with pots of giant tropical and seasonal plants. Inspired by a pollinator trial plot that Chandler Bryant, manager of The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park: 100 Acres, and his team planted in 2017, Wright used large, robust native blooming perennials and grasses to create a screen between the front garden rooms and the back garden.

"People often say to me, 'I don't know how you go home and garden after working all day,'" Wright said. "Well, the truth is that our amazing Horticulture team does all the gardening at Newfields. But I'm constantly inspired by what they are dreaming up and finding simple ways to bring that home."

Here, Wright takes us into his home garden and talks about what is inspiring his plans for winter, spring, summer, and fall.

Orchids often find their way home with me from our pop up shop. I've come to love slipper orchids, inspired by a gorgeous bowl arrangement in the American galleries last spring. It was designed and arranged by plant specialist Ian Wilhite.

I plan to recreate something similar for my dining table this winter. The Museum & Garden Shop always has an incredible selection during the winter months.

One addition I'm most excited about is a custom table created from a board of walnut that came from a felled tree I brought from Chanticleer Garden in Wayne, Pennyslvania, where I lived and gardened. The artist, Elliott Smith, is part of the art preparation team at Newfields, and he also crafts beautiful furniture on the side. You can see his work on Instagram @elliott.jsmith.

For spring, fritillaries like the ones horticulturist Patty Schneider planted in front of the Lilly House will feature prominently in my garden at home. I love the slate-purple blooms and silver foliage of the Persian fritillary (Fritillaria persica).

A favorite bulb source is Brent and Becky’s Bulbs (brentandbeckysbulbs.com), a family-run nursery in Gloucester, Virginia.

In planning for summer 2020, I was inspired by the warm welcome that Irvin Etienne, horticulture display coordinator, executed in the circular garden bed at the Museum's entrance. In Nonie's Garden, he clumped banana plants together to look like little islands of shade, and he also planted a cool, silver-leafed Bromeliad called Alcantarea odorata. I'll be adding these little silver fountain-like plants to my home garden. Top Tropicals (TopTropicals. com) is usually a good source.

I am planting trees, too, including a Parrotia subaequalis, like the one inside the Michigan Road gate near the Pumphouse. In autumn, this small tree turns the most incredible mix of reds, oranges, and burgundy. Because its growth can be gangly when young, I plan to espalier it to my garage wall and prune it regularly. I can’t wait to enjoy the fall color next year.

My Sustainable

Summer

By Sophia Lahey Sustainability Intern

When I told people I was an intern in “sustainability” at Newfields, they thought my job was hugging trees. Yes, activism is one way to champion sustainability, and I have certainly hugged my fair share of trees, but it is so much more than that.

Sustainability involves small, daily actions and longer-term projects that we take in our lives, homes, schools, and workplaces.

As a sustainable business major at Indiana University, I strategize how to balance environmental and financial sustainability with community impact. This past summer, I worked with the Newfields staff to create a sustainability plan. I met with people in every department to hear about their intiatives, challenges, and goals, then combined their input into a draft of a policy.

Looking to save money — and a tree?

Consider switching to a digital membership to Newfields.

This led to the Sustainability Strategic Action Plan, which created tangible steps people can complete. These include taking inventory of the food we source, setting up incentives for carpooling, and creating access for alternative forms of transportation to Newfields. Here's a look at other recent projects that will help Newfields on its path to sustainable growth.

MINDFUL CONSTRUCTION In 2005, the underground parking garage was built. The top of the garage has a green roof that captures and filters rain, ensuring that runoff water doesn’t flow from asphalt parking lots to pollute waterways such as the canal.

Newfields also recently built a parking green that allows people to park on grass without damaging the turf. That helps conserve the green space, and reduces the amount of heat that gets reflected and absorbed by asphalt.

COMPOSTING Composting is the best of both worlds. Food otherwise destined for the landfill is used to create organic matter that helps the vast gardens here grow and thrive. At Newfields,

food waste comes from the prep that the Culinary Arts team does for guest experiences such as summer’s Pop Up: Noodle Shop.

After assessing different ways to compost (including a type that involves worms!), I decided the best option was to use an on-site compost tumbler. The Culinary Arts staff will pilot the program once it is funded, and work with other teams such as Horticulture.

KICK THE CAN In June, I organized Newfields’ first waste audit, where we dug through one day’s worth of trash and recyclables to determine better methods for diverting waste.

Along with recycling, this also means reducing the materials we consume, reusing as much as we can (or donating), and repairing what’s broken instead of throwing it away.

I created a guide to help staff determine the best way to donate used materials, pushed for reusable options instead of disposables, and created a “kick the can” event in June, where staff could opt to give up their own trash can in order to be more mindful about waste. Over 100 trash cans were “kicked!”

WINTER 2019

Next summer will mark 10 years since The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park: 100 Acres opened at Newfields. Also in 2010, Apple unveiled the iPad, Katy Perry's "California Gurls" was the offical song of summer, and Dario Franchitti won the Indianapolis 500.

All this to say: life goes by very quickly, so we would like to get on your calendar for 2020 as soon as possible, because there's a lot to look forward to at Newfields.

Here are some experiences that we hope you will consider:

POP UP: PIE DINER

A "NEW" STAR STUDIO

FEBRUARY THROUGH MAY 2020

STARTING IN JUNE 2020

Order up a sweet or savory slice, and pair it with a milkshake or classic diner coffee. Pie Diner will open on the second floor, just outside the galleries.

NEWFIELDS HORTICULTURE SYMPOSIUM FEBRUARY 29, 2020 Join experts and fellow plant lovers for talks on plants, design, and environmental stewardship. Topics include inspiration from travels to Japan, hardy perennials from the Chicago Botanic Garden, annuals at the Cincinnati Zoo, the integration of art and horticulture, houseplant selection, and more. Registration opens in December.

SPRING BLOOMS MARCH 20 THROUGH MAY 17, 2020 Newfields staff and volunteers will plant another 125,000 bulbs to create an explosion of color and fragrance. Highlights include a members-only talk with the Madeline F. Elder Greenhouse staff on March 29, and the Indianapolis Garden Club Flower how April 17-19.

Spring Blooms is presented by Wild Birds Unlimited.

All kids love dropping into Star Studio, a colorful place to play, learn, and touch things without worry. In 2020, the space will get a new look and even more engaging activities. Phase I of the redesign will happen in May. After Phase 2 is unveiled in November, children will be able to explore the seasons in a "digital garden" that uses projection, animation, props, audio, and images.

JOURNEY INTO LIGHT: TRAVELS WITH JMW TURNER APRIL 10 TO OCTOBER 4, 2020 Nearly two centuries ago, J.M.W. Turner’s watercolors of European destinations became a gateway for armchair travelers.

Modern explorers will also enjoy these 32 works representing a lifetime of Turner’s adventures, often on foot, with pencil and sketchbook in hand.

WINTER 2019

EDWARD HOPPER AND THE AMERICAN HOTEL JUNE 6 TO SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 Thanks to classics such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, Americans have long been fascinated by the vulnerability of checking in as an overnight guest. At this exhibition, visitors can explore the romantic and realistic sides of lodging in the 20th century and see artworks that capture Hopper's fascination with places of transience, escape, and anonymity. The show is organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, in partnership with the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields.

Edward Hopper and the American Hotel is presented by Schahet Hotels.

Lead support is generously provided by Drs. Marian and Patrick Pettengill.

ANDERS HERWALD RUHWALD EXHIBITIONS OPEN JUNE 12, 2020 In 2019, Ruhwald, a Danish-born ceramic artist, made headlines for converting an abandoned Detroit apartment building into a public memorial/art installation. Next summer, visitors to Newfields can enjoy Ruhwald x 2: in the Efroymson Family Entrance Pavilion and in The Garden.

Holes, a large-scale ceramic light installation (opposite page), will collect and cast dramatic shadows in the entrance. Outside, Anders Ruhwald: Century Garden will pop with colorful ceramic sculptures, surrounded by tropical and native flowers and plants.

These experiences are made possible by the Efroymson Contemporary Art Fund.

HARVEST OPENS OCTOBER 1, 2020 This past October, Newfields debuted Harvest presented by JPMorgan Chase & Co., a four-day festival celebrating the Midwestern fall traditions. In 2020, the festival will grow into a multi-weekend celebration.

A NEW HOME FOR THE BEER GARDEN FALL 2020 Newfields’ popular Beer Garden will open in the spring in its current location. In the fall, you’ll be able to visit it in a new, bigger-and-better location outside of the former Lilly Playhouse.

Stay tuned for more details about what’s on tap.

Curator's Choice A lot will be happening behind the scenes at Newfields in 2020.

Here, curators share what they'll be working on: Niloo Paydar, textile and fashion arts curator, looks forward to going through 75 boxes of garments, shoes, and accessories by fashion designer Stephen Sprouse. In 2019, the IMA became the recipient of his collection and archives. “It will be Christmas over and over again.” A 2021 exhibition is planned.

Dr. Kjell Wangensteen, assistant curator of European art, is planning the renovation and reopening of the Clowes Pavilion in the fall of 2021. “My goal is to create rich ‘conversations’ between objects that will delight, intrigue, and provoke visitors through thoughtful juxtapositions of Old Master works in the Clowes collection and artworks from other parts of the IMA's collection."

Dr. Kelli Morgan, associate curator of American Art, will travel to museums and archives to research an article related to the 2021 reinstallation of the IMA's Colonial and Native American galleries. “It’s a dramatic shift in how the IMA will display and interpret its collection of American art. It will confront white supremacy, patriarchy, and sexism within the American art historical canon—problems that have been perpetuated by Western museum practices.”

Bryn Jackson, assistant curator of audience engagement and performance, will plan for year two of At the Crossroads: A Community Meal. In September, Newfields partnered with social practice artist Seitu Jones, along with local growers, creatives, and neighborhoods to feed 300 people in the Midtown area.

“For 2020, I’m hoping to reach more neighborhoods.”

A SELF-GUIDED TOUR Just when people got used to "cuffing," "ghosting," and other terms of nonendearment, new words have emerged to describe modern love and dating. For example, “throning”—when you date someone only to boost your status. Or “Banksying,” inspired by the anonymous street artist’s secret plan to instantly shred his $1.4 million painting, Girl With Balloon, after it sold at auction. If you’re planning to destroy someone’s heart weeks or months before you pull the trigger, that’s called Banksying.

So let us go back to a simpler time—a time when relationships might not have been any less complicated, but at least the vocabulary was. Two docents at Newfields, Peg Duncan and Beverly Doster, created this self-guided Valentine's Day tour of five love-inspired works in the IMA’s collection.

Here it is, in their words.

In this painting, Calypso looks so sweet and innocent. Looks can be deceiving.

Calypso was a vixen, a sea-nymph temptress with one thing on her mind.

WINTER 2019

Calypso rescued Odysseus from a shipwreck as he was returning home from years of battle, then kept him prisoner for seven years on her island. Initially, he wasn't enticed by her offer of eternal youth, as he wanted to return home to his beloved wife Penelope. After a while, though, he gave in to her charms and became her lover. Nevertheless, Odysseus dreamed of returning home.

Finally, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, intervened and Calypso begrudgingly released Odysseus, even helping him to build his boat, and providing food and wine, along with good winds, for his journey.

LOVE THROUGH THE AGES:

The Love Song (1926), Norman Rockwell See it: American galleries This narrative on love contrasts young with old. The girl in the painting is wistful, dreaming of her future love. The older men are playing a sweet song on the flute and clarinet, remembering their past loves.

The clock and the old map could represent that love transcends time and space.

Rockwell was a collector of old maps and it adds to the quaint everyday setting— and, perhaps, suggests a love of travel.

This work was done for a cover of Ladies' Home Journal.

THE LOVE MACHINE:

Man and Woman (1921), Fernand Léger See it: European galleries

The embracing man and woman are humans in an industrial world. Wavy and curvy forms, and an orange hue, define the woman, while columns and blue define the man. Léger shows a relationship between humans and machines by placing his people (with color) in the foreground. The neutral machinery in the background is composed of flattened intersecting shapes similar to an industrial matrix of bolts, beams, and girders.

IT'S COMPLICATED:

Ma Jolie (1913-1914), Pablo Picasso See it: European galleries "Ma Jolie" was a popular song in the early 20th century; it means “my dear one” or “my pretty one.” Picasso called his lover, Eva, “ma jolie,” and painted her a picture with a personal message. Women were Picasso's main source of artistic inspiration.

But he also once referred to them as either “goddesses or doormats" (ouch).

In 1909, Picasso and Georges Braque revolutionized 20th-century art when they created Analytic Cubism. This method analyzed the form of an object by shattering it into fragments spread on the canvas.

IMMORTAL LOVE:

Sarcophagus Panel: Cupid and Psyche, 4th century See it: Outside the Ancient Art of the Mediterranean Gallery A winged baby equipped with a bow and arrow is a popular Valentine's motif. But what about the grown-up Cupid? Did he, too, just shoot his spell-casting arrow at the woman he desired, thereby ensuring she would love him?

No, because he was a Cupid of integrity.

He wanted a beautiful mortal, Psyche, to love him for himself. So he appeared to her in dreams until she grew to know and love him for his charm and kindness.

He then revealed himself, and in tribute to their enduring love, she was made immortal.

All this leaves Newfields guests to wonder who was buried within the sarcophagus, who commissioned the carvings, and why?

Apparently the answer is just another of love's “old, sweet” mysteries.

Léger, who was French, began painting in a Cubist style after 1910, but made his imagery accessible by using harmonious relationships of color, volume, and line.
