Dear Members and Friends,

March Programs • 11

The Met is famous for organizing exhibitions that no one else can, and this season two exceptional shows certainly continue that tradition.

For Lost Kingdoms: Hindu-Buddhist Sculpture of Early Southeast Asia, 5th to 8th Century, our world-renowned Asian art department has worked a miracle bringing together these 160 magnificent sculptures.

Included are a significant number of designated national treasures lent by the governments of Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and, for the first time ever, Myanmar. This beautiful, groundbreaking show is not to be missed.

Another example, a major retrospective of the gifted and passionate 19th-century sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, is the first big exhibition devoted to the artist in almost 40 years. It stands out for its presentation of not only sculptures but also preparatory works, drawings, and paintings that illuminate Carpeaux’s genius for depicting flesh and blood in stone.

A highlight every spring is the annual Costume Institute exhibition, and this year’s presentation of the life and work of Charles James, the legendary 20th-century couturier who designed with a sculptor’s eye and scientist’s logic, is especially significant: It inaugurates the new Anna Wintour Costume Center, a completely redesigned complex that includes technologically advanced galleries, a conservation laboratory, and one of the world’s foremost fashion libraries.

Completing the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of The Cloisters branch for medieval art is an exhibition of stained glass from England’s historic Canterbury Cathedral. Created in 1178–80, the luminous panels have never before left the cathedral precincts. Wonderful glimpses of 19th-century Paris are on view in the first exhibition to examine comprehensively the life and career of Charles Marville, one of the period’s most talented photographers. And photographs of the modern era, along with a range of idiosyncratic objects and an intriguing perspective, are on view in an exhibition of the work of Lucas Samaras (b. 1936).

With these offerings and more on view, it’s an amazing spring. See you soon.

Exhibitions and The Collection

The Passions of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux March 10–May 26, 2014 Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall, 2nd floor

For this exhibition, 160 works, including sculptures, paintings, and drawings, have been organized around the major projects that Carpeaux (1827–1875) undertook during his brief career. Groupings of drawings and models trace the evolution of such masterpieces as the Musée d’Orsay’s marble Prince Impérial with his Dog Nero and the Metropolitan’s own Ugolino and His Sons, also in marble. The artist’s genius for portraiture and modeling in clay shines particularly in this moving, major retrospective.

Made possible by the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Foundation. Additional support provided by the Gail and Parker Gilbert Fund and the Diane W. and James E. Burke Fund. Organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Musée d’Orsay.

Ugolino and His Sons (detail), 1865–67, by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Saint-Béat marble. Purchase, Josephine Bay Paul and C. Michael Paul Foundation Inc. Gift, Charles Ulrick and Josephine Bay Foundation Inc. Gift, and Fletcher Fund, 1967 (67.250)

Lost Kingdoms: Hindu-Buddhist Sculpture of Early Southeast Asia, 5th to 8th Century April 14–July 27, 2014 The Tisch Galleries, 2nd floor

The religious sculpture of first millennium Southeast Asia is among the most compellingly beautiful produced anywhere in the early Hindu-Buddhist world. In this first international loan exhibition devoted to the early art of Southeast Asia, 160 sculptures from Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), and Vietnam provide a unique window on the art of the region’s “lost kingdoms.”

Goya and the Altamira Family April 22–August 3, 2014 European Paintings, 2nd floor

One of the Metropolitan’s most beloved Old Master paintings, the so-called Red Boy by Goya, is among five portraits of members of the Altamira family on view in this small exhibition. All but one are by Goya; the fifth is by Agustín Esteve. This is the first time these family portraits—now dispersed in public and private collections in Spain and the United States—are being seen together as a group.

Made possible by the Placido Arango Fund.

Charles James: Beyond Fashion May 8–August 10, 2014 New Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Gallery, Carl and Iris Barrel Apfel Gallery, Anna Wintour Costume Center, ground floor, and Special Exhibition Gallery, 1st floor

This inaugural exhibition of the newly renovated Costume Institute examines the career of the legendary 20th-century AngloAmerican couturier Charles James (1906– 1978), whose revolutionary ball gowns and innovative tailoring continue to influence fashion designers today. Approximately 100

of James’s most notable designs are presented in two locations. The first-floor galleries spotlight his ball gowns from the postwar period, worn by such notable clients as Gloria Vanderbilt, Millicent Rogers, and Austine Hearst. The new Costume Institute galleries use technology to dramatize James’s biography and design evolution through archival pieces including garments, sketches, muslins and paper patterns, ephemera, and partially completed works from his last studio in New York City’s Chelsea Hotel. Video animations in both locations illustrate anatomically considered dresses that sculpted and reconfigured the female form.

Made possible by AERIN. Additional support provided by Condé Nast.

Lucas Samaras: Offerings from a Restless Soul Through June 1, 2014 Modern and Contemporary Art, mezzanine

Lucas Samaras (born 1936) was among the first artists to exploit the Polaroid photograph and was a key player in many of the early Happenings staged by Claes Oldenburg, Allan Kaprow, and Jim Dine. He has created a highly idiosyncratic body of work, much of it based on

self-depiction. A highly skilled draftsman, painter, sculptor, and filmmaker, he is also a creator of brilliantly colored, phantasmagoric photographs manipulated on the computer. Drawn from the Met’s rich holdings of Samaras’s work, including a new gift of several works from across the artist’s career, this dynamic installation has been designed with the help of the artist.

Charles Marville: Photographer of Paris Through May 4, 2014 Drawings and Prints, 2nd floor

Lauded for his documentation of “Old Paris” at the moment of its historical transformation during the second Empire, Charles Marville (1813–1879) was a versatile and gifted photographer who worked in many genres, from romantic portraits and artistic studies to extraordinary views of architecture and compelling images of “New Paris” made in the 1860s and ’70s.

This international loan exhibition and its accompanying catalogue, both of which include seldom seen works, stand as the first to examine Marville’s life and career in their entirety.

Made possible in part by Jennifer S. and Philip F. Maritz. Organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in association with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Also of interest and designed to complement the Marville show is the installation Paris as Muse: Photography, 1840s–1930s. On view through May 4, it features approximately 40 photographs, all from the Met’s collection.

Radiant Light: Stained Glass from Canterbury Cathedral Through May 18, 2014 The Cloisters

Completing the celebration of the 75th anniversary year of the founding of The Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan devoted to the art and architecture of the Middle Ages, this exhibition features a splendid array of six near-life-size enthroned figures in stained glass from England’s historic Canterbury Cathedral. The brilliantly colored panels come from one of the great surviving series of medieval stained glass, and the exhibition represents the first time they have left the cathedral precincts since their creation in 1178–80. Founded in 597, the cathedral is one of the oldest Christian structures in England.

Made possible by the Ruddock Foundation for the Arts.

The Flowering of Edo Period Painting: Japanese Masterworks from the Feinberg Collection Through September 7, 2014 Asian Art, 2nd floor

This exhibition of one of the finest private collections of Japanese paintings outside Japan focuses on more than 90 masterworks dating to the Edo period (1615– 1868). It demonstrates how Japanese artists diverged from Chinese models and created innovative styles of pictorial art reflecting indigenous aesthetic sensibilities. Many of the works on view, which toured Japan in 2013, are being exhibited for the first time in America.

With more than 40 outstanding examples of calligraphy created by many of the leading masters from the 14th through the 19th centuries, this exhibition presents artworks of the highest quality to introduce key concepts of format, script type, and style. The exhibition encompasses the entire spectrum of calligraphic possibilities, from towering scrolls designed to fill reception halls to works of great intimacy meant to be enjoyed by a lone scholar in his studio.

The Pre-Raphaelite Legacy: British Art and Design from the Metropolitan’s Collection May 20–October 26, 2014 Robert Lehman Wing, 1st floor

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood sought to revitalize mid-19th-century British painting with the sincerity and vivid intensity they admired in medieval and early Renaissance art. This exhibition unites some 30 works— paintings, drawings, furniture, textiles, prints, and illustrated books—from across the Met’s collections to Lady Lilith, 1867,

Unique by Design: Studio Jewelry in The Donna Schneier Collection May 13–August 31, 2014 Modern and Contemporary Art, 1st floor

The approximately 100 pieces of international contemporary jewelry on view in this exhibition date from the 1960s to the present and are from the Donna Schneier Collection, given to the Metropolitan in 2007 and 2013. The period in focus saw dramatic change in jewelry making. Jewelers broke with tradition and began aligning their works within larger artistic movements, such as abstraction and conceptualism, and became interested in new materials and forms. Among the collection’s 88 artists are modern master jewelers as well as avant-garde jewelry makers, all of whom have contributed to the contemporary jewelry movement of today.

The Roof Garden Commission: Dan Graham May–October 2014 The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden

This spring, Dan Graham (born 1942, Urbana, Illinois) installs the second in a new series of site-specific commissions for the Museum’s Roof Garden. Since the publication of his landmark photo-essay “Homes for America” in 1966, Graham’s work has engaged with issues of urbanity, public space, and the viewer’s own experience within it through a multidisciplinary practice that includes writing, photography, video, performance, and the creation of sculptural environments of mirrored glass and metal.

Making Pottery Art: The Robert A. Ellison Jr. Collection of French Ceramics (ca. 1880–1910) Through August 18, 2014 European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, 1st floor

Technically experimental and aesthetically ambitious, the vases made by French potters in the years around 1900 pushed the boundaries of the ceramic medium. The recently acquired Robert A. Ellison Jr. Collection includes pieces by the master ceramists Ernest Chaplet, Auguste Delaherche, and Jean Carriès, works of imposing size, beautiful in shape, and dazzling in their glazes. Also presented are works that inspired them.

Antonio Canova: The Seven Last Works Through April 27, 2014 Robert Lehman Wing, 1st floor

The great neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova (1757–1822) remains famous above all for his elegant nude mythological subjects carved in marble. But he also worked on religious subjects in a deeply serious, deceptively simple style. This less familiar Canova is revealed in an extraordinary series of full-scale plaster models illustrating episodes from the Old and New Testaments. Newly restored, they are being lent for the first time to the United States and constitute Canova’s last, profoundly moving masterworks.

Made possible in part by Hester Diamond and Jon and Barbara Landau.

The American West in Bronze, 1850–1925 Through April 13, 2014 The American Wing, 1st floor

Through 65 bronze sculptures, this exhibition explores the aesthetic and cultural impulses behind the creation of statuettes with American western themes at the turn of the 20th century. Representations of American Indians, cowboys and cavalry, pioneers and prospectors, and animals of the plains and mountains served, then as now, as visual metaphors for the Old West.

Included are representative sculptures by such archetypal artists as Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, among others.

Made possible by The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, the Henry Luce Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, and the Enterprise Holdings Endowment. Organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in collaboration with the Denver Art Museum.

Also of interest is the installation American Indians by American Artists: Works on Paper from the Collection, on view through April 13.

Early American Guitars: The Instruments of C. F. Martin Through December 7, 2014 Musical Instruments, 2nd floor

Christian Frederick Martin, founder of the great American guitar firm C. F. Martin & Co., learned to build instruments in the style of the famed Johann Georg Stauffer.

In 1833 he moved to the U.S. and encountered the Spanish-style guitar, incorporating elements from that tradition into his own Viennese-style of instrument construction.

The result was a new and distinctly American form of the guitar. The 35 instruments on view are from the Martin Museum in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, the Metropolitan, and several private collections.

Ink Art: Past as Present in Contemporary China Through April 6, 2014 Asian Art, 2nd floor

With works created during the past three decades by 35 artists born in China, this exhibition reveals how China’s ancient pattern of seeking cultural renewal through the reinterpretation of past models remains a viable creative path. Through four thematic groupings—the written word, new landscapes, abstraction, and beyond the brush— it demonstrates how select artists have radically transformed their sources through new modes of expression while retaining valuable links to China’s artistic past.

Italian Renaissance Drawings from the Robert Lehman Collection May 13–September 1, 2014 Robert Lehman Wing, ground floor

This installation features masterpieces of Central and Southern Italian drawing spanning the 15th and 16th centuries. Florentine drawings are well represented by such celebrated Renaissance masters as Leonardo da Vinci and Antonio Pollaiuolo. Highlighting a broad range of drawing techniques and functions, the works illustrate the varying ways that Renaissance artists employed drawing.

which drawings were increasingly valued as expressions of artists’ creative processes and as objects worthy of collecting.

Piero della Francesca: Personal Encounters Through March 30, 2014 European Paintings, 2nd floor

Through a special collaboration with the Gallerie dell’Accademia, Venice, and the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, Urbino, the Metropolitan is hosting a focused presentation on the devotional paintings of Piero della Francesca, addressing Piero’s work for private devotion for the first time.

The four works on view have never before been brought together, promising an important contribution to the study of this major figure of the Renaissance.

Made possible by the Foundation for Italian Art & Culture (FIAC). Organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in collaboration with FIAC, in celebration of the opening of the New European Paintings Galleries, 1250–1800. The loan of the Madonna di Senigallia is by arrangement with the Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo and the Italian Carabinieri Command (CCTPC), working together with la Soprintendenza per i Beni Storici Artistici ed Etnoantropologici delle Marche – Urbino, as part of 2013 – Italian Year of Culture in the United States.

Celebrating the planned program by the Central Park Conservancy to conserve the park’s obelisk of Thutmose III, this exhibition explores the meaning of obelisks in ancient Egyptian divine and funerary cults and considers how these massive monuments were created and erected. Through a selection of prints, paintings, textiles, and other objects, it also shows the impact of this ancient architectural form on western culture and how it ultimately led to the reerection of the Central Park obelisk.
