A serene space in the new Barnes Foundation building.
Cathy McDowell of San Francisco who, with Cathy Graff and Bair Avery of Indiana, spent their junior college year abroad in Paris in 1960. They said they lived near the Cézanne studio. “It was incredible seeing all the art and particularly the Cézannes,” McDowell said. On the other hand, a man sitting on one side of the gallery looking at a brochure admitted, “It is not my thing.” Tom Leinico of Chester said he was waiting for his wife, who was looking at the exhibits. The professionals who helped design and install the museum said the new Barnes Philadelphia campus is not “complete.”
Achievements in Architecture: Local Luminaries The annual American Institute of Architect Awards last month recognized the firm of Erdy McHenry with its Gold, or highest award, for the design of a teaching Dairy Barn at Cornell University. The award was for a building in the “built” category. Two awards in the second place, or Honor Category, were given to the Digsau Group of Philadelphia for two built structures: the Frankford Friends School and the pavilion and Children’s Discovery Garden at Sister Cities Park.
Also Interface Studio Architects received an Honor award for its design of Flexhouse in Chicago, Ill. Finally, Aileen K. Roberts received recognition, as a non-architect, for her leadership as chair of the Barnes Museum Building Committee and her guidance in selecting Tod Williams and Billie Tsien as architects for the building. — Contact Diane Fiske at dfiske_19118@ yahoo.com
“An enterprise like this is never complete in general; there is still more work to do,” said renowned landscape architect Laurie Olin, the principal of the Olin Group, who designed the campus to surround the building with trees and bushes that separate the traffic and noise of the Parkway from the new Barnes building. Olin said he visits the site several times a month and often is asked to provide tours of the grounds to groups of visitors. He said the foliage helps shield the museum building from the city surrounding it. The building faces 20th Street rather than the Parkway. A reflecting pond with benches and a wall separating the parking lot are supposed to add to the bucolic envelope surrounding the museum. Last year, the plantings were new and the green cocoon was a work in progress. Olin said, “I am delighted that the trees have survived and have thrived and the sweet gum and ginkgo trees in the interior garden are doing well and even, since it is fall, losing leaves. The interior garden places three-story trees on a pedestal, which reaches from the library on the ground floor to offices
on the second. The interior garden is glassed in on its sides. The trunks of trees are encased in a glass box surrounded with fallen leaves, just like their relatives growing outdoors. “The vines are growing on the walls next to the parking lot, and the bushes have filled in, which is nice, but, in landscaping, there is always work to do,” Olin said. Architect Philip Ryan, now with his own firm, StudioModh, who practices in New York and Philadelphia, was project architect for the Barnes during his 15 years with Tod Williams and Billie Tsien Architects. He said flexibility is also important in the office tower. “The building was designed so the office space could be readjusted and furniture could be moved around,” he said of the tower housing office and classroom space. “As opposed to the galleries, the office was designed for changes. Now the office workers need more furniture and they are getting it,” he said. Ryan said, “The visitors seem to like the lounge and they congregate, having coffee on the ground floor and just prepare for their visit or relax before leaving.” At the old Barnes, there was no coffee bar and no café. The restaurant in the new building
seems to be so successful that the foundation is considering expanding it, Ryan said. “The lobby should be serene and eventually they will place flower arrangements in the center,” he said. Ryan has started his own firm, and said that is one of the lessons he learned from Tod Williams and Billie Tsien: “They taught us to prepare to break away and take care of ourselves,” he said. Visitors have flocked to the transplanted Barnes. There have been about 450,000 visitors to the museum in the past year and a half. Visitors to the old Barnes registered about 62,500 a year before the Merion museum closed. The old building was only open three days a week. The new museum is closed on Tuesdays so that students of the Barnes Art School can have free access to the exhibits. “We are flexible, but the maximum we can allow at any time is 800,” a museum spokesman said. “If people leave, more people can come each day,” he said. It seems that the new Barnes is successful and that the peaceful atmosphere the architects and landscape designers tried to create has resulted in success as visitors break attendance records to visit the galleries.

Dali and the surrealists triumph again
Surrealists, from A17
French artist Yves Tanguy also came to reside, paint and marry in America. He and his wife, Kay Sage, have several interesting selections in the show. Other notable figures represented in the exhibition include Stanley William Hayter, Pablo Picasso, Roberto Matta and Leon Kelly. Photography, still a bold new visual means of expression in the first half of the 20th century, was put to work by several artists associated with surrealism. Typically, the American expatriate Man Ray was especially drawn to such practice. He made concentrated use of photographic procedures that helped
him voice offbeat ways of evoking dream and reality states with imaginative daring and psychic intensity. The exhibition at the art museum includes several of these avant-garde explorations. Like his friend Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray also made artworks that were reinventions of assorted odds and ends called found objects. One called “Gift,” also in the show, consists of a flat-iron, normally used for pressing clothes, with a row of sharply pointed tacks glued permanently to its bottom surface. Another example consists of a musician’s metronome with a picture of a human eye attached to its pendulum.
To say it’s an extraordinarily startling artwork is to possibly offer the ultimate understatement of the year. Without question, this is a theatrically exciting exhibition. It really would be a shame to miss out on seeing what’s on view when it’s so close at hand. Right, “Birthday,” 1942, Dorothea Tanning, American, 1910-2012. Oil on canvas, 40 1/4 x 25 1/2 inches.
