Neal Auction presents
Art & Objects from the Estate of Curator William A. Fagaly Featuring nearly 500 lots of art and objects from the collection of renowned curator and scholar and advocate of Southern outsider and contemporary art William “Bill” Fagaly (1938-2021), sold to benefit Prospect New Orleans’ William A. Fagaly Memorial Fund for Social Impact. The Fagaly collection includes outsider and contemporary art from the many artists he befriended and championed early on. It also includes “world folk art” (so termed by Bill, himself, within his extensive card catalogue), baskets and crafts by Native American and other Indigenous Peoples, Pre-Columbian artifacts, and African art—a once under-represented category Bill pioneered and significantly expanded during his five-decade-long tenure at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Bill Fagaly was a curator of African art at NOMA, a founder of the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, and a founder of Prospect New Orleans, the triennial exhibition that was the first large-scale international art event of its kind in the US.
Exhibition will be held at our 4038 Magazine Street Gallery, March 7 & 8, 2022, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

illiam “Bill” Fagaly was given the nickname “Intrepid” by Roy Sieber, his first professor of African Art history at Indiana University in the late 1950s. Sieber is universally recognized as the first formally trained African art historian in America, and Bill was one of his first students. In their many years as colleagues and friends, Sieber never divulged why he gave Bill this moniker. But anyone who knew Bill would agree that Sieber’s label is apt. Bill was a pioneering scholar and curator, a passionate collector, a committed activist, a curious world traveler, a loyal friend and dedicated mentor and an enthusiastic foodie to name just a few of his many qualities. Bill approached life and art as a fearless adventurer. In all things, he was Intrepid. Bill was also generous, especially in the way he supported people and ideas. Bill cherished artists and venerated the culture bearers. He championed the fledgling, the underrepresented and the underdog because he was visionary; he knew he was ahead of the curve. On Bill’s 1977 show Five from Louisiana, an exhibition he curated at the New Orleans Museum of Art featuring new works by artists Lynda Benglis, Robert Rauschenberg, Tina Girouard, Richard Landry, and Keith Sonnier, Benglis told me: “Bill was very important. He put that show together very early. This was a real mark for me. He was one of the earliest serious curators I worked with. Bill just kind of got it! He was so intuitive and cocksure of himself. He always knew what he was doing.” Any attempt on my part to paint a complete picture here of the man who built the extraordinary collection of art presented in this catalogue will be inadequate. Instead, I recommend The Nightcrawler King, Memoirs of an Art Museum Curator, published by Bill shortly before his death at 83 on May 17, 2021. It documents a venturesome life marked by accomplishment, piloted by Bill’s tirelessly inquisitive nature. Over the course of a distinguished 50-year career at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Bill held the positions of registrar, curator of contemporary and self-taught art, curator of collections, acting director, chief curator and assistant director before retiring in 2016. Bill contributed substantially to the understanding of African art and Southern Self-Taught art, bringing attention to important artists like David Butler and Sister Gertrude Morgan, whom he knew personally and whose work he understood and appreciated before others did. Bill is also credited with expanding the museum’s African art collection from a handful of works when he arrived to more than 600, fulfilling the dream of James Byrnes, the museum director who hired Bill as an assistant registrar in 1966:
“Registrar at the Delgado was the lowest paying job I had been offered anywhere, but I knew immediately New Orleans was the place for me. I realized there is much more to life than a job . . . Byrnes shared my desire to build an African art collection in an art museum in a major Southern city whose majority population was African American.” Memoirs, p. 36. I ntroduction I

Bill arrived in the Crescent City less than a year after it had been devastated by the 1965 Hurricane Betsy, and the damage was still very much evident. But the scene that greeted him upon arrival in New Orleans didn’t daunt him, it seduced him.
“After moving into an apartment in Mother Cabrini’s former schoolhouse on Governor Nicholls in the Vieux Carré, I was immediately swept up and intoxicated by the spirit of the city and, eventually, south Cajun Louisiana. Those cultures were radically different from the environment and lifestyle of the Midwest, where I had been born and raised. I became caught up in the landscape, the food, the music, the architecture, the people, the weather, the ambience. I soon felt the laissez le bon temps rouler atmosphere.” Memoirs, p. 37. In 2005, almost 40 years to the day after Bill’s arrival in New Orleans following Betsy, the city was again tested by Hurricane Katrina and massive flooding caused by the failure of the federal levee protection system. As the waters subsided, Bill and other leaders in the New Orleans art world gathered to assess Katrina’s effect on their community and to plot a way forward. Bill’s early discussions with Dan Cameron, art historian and curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York were central to Dan’s decision to found Prospect New Orleans, initially a biennial. Of the many countries around the world hosting biennials, there was none being undertaken at the time in the United States. The new biennial would continue the New Orleans Triennial series begun in 1887, the longest continuing, contemporary art exhibition series in the United States. Intrepid. Prospect.1 debuted in 2008, as a citywide exhibition. Since then, Prospect New Orleans has presented the work of more than three hundred artists from around the globe, many underrepresented and identifying as BIPOC, selected by some of America’s most talented curators. For over a decade, Prospect has invited artists to be inspired by New Orleans and to reflect the intricate histories of this tricentennial port City in their work. I was fortunate to work with Bill over his distinguished 12-year tenure on the board of Prospect New Orleans on which he served as Chairman of the important Prospect Artistic Director Selection Committee. Bill passed away unexpectedly in May 2021 and, in his planning, endowed Prospect with the proceeds from the sale of his entire art collection, an act of generosity so selfless and profound its effects will be felt by Prospect New Orleans and the city itself for many years to come. To ensure that the work most important to Bill continues, Prospect has established the William A. Fagaly Memorial Fund for Social Impact. This purpose driven fund honors Bill’s lifelong devotion to New Orleans, his appreciation of its rich cultural diversity and his strong commitment to racial equity, social justice and the environment. The Fund will promote the impact-driven work of New Orleans arts organizations and next-generation creative entrepreneurs in these areas. More information about the William A. Fagaly Memorial Fund for Social Impact and giving opportunities can be found at https://www.prospectneworleans.org/the-bill-fagaly-memorial-fund. Introduction II

ill lovingly assembled the collection of more than 450 individual artworks presented in this sale over a lifetime. “I collect art, and I cherish each piece. Those objects speak to me more than just aesthetically.” Memoirs, p. ix. Bill pushed conversations between the artworks themselves in his 18th century French Quarter home at 915 St. Philip Street, as Tina Freeman’s wonderful photos in this catalogue will attest. There was nothing random about Bill’s curation, yet the result felt natural and intriguing. Freeman told me about her friend Bill: “His sense of humor comes out in the house…” I’m immediately reminded of contemporary artist Skylar Fein’s portrait of a plump, coiffured beauty (Lot #116) presiding over Bill’s sitting room from in between works by Sister Gertrude Morgan, Lesley Dill and Charles Hutson. Bill collected across many genres of art African, Oceanic, Pre-Columbian, American & World Folk, Self-Taught, American Contemporary. In Bill’s dining room, Clementine Hunter’s only known gourd sculpture shares space with Bill’s collection of Japanese ikebana baskets. Artist Aristides Logothetis said of his friend Bill: “He was unique in his approach to collecting in that he did not create hierarchies. Bill valued every piece and gave it equal devotion, scholarship and space . . . Bill forced connections between these works in a wonderful way.” In his memoir, Bill recalls: “As a child, I collected ‘Indian relics’ and was what is derisively referred to as ‘a pot hunter.’ ” [Memoir. p. 29] Bill’s longtime friend and colleague and former Director of the New Orleans Museum of Art, John Bullard notes: “The collecting gene was strong in Bill . . . It began when he was a kid, stamps, coins . . . When he specialized in African art at Indiana University, he had a focus for his more serious collecting . . . Bill collected everything. He was ahead of the collecting curve in Self-Taught art. He had a way of seeing the value in things that others did not. He loved being friends of artists. He helped them by acquiring their work, or they gave him pieces in appreciation. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He had total confidence in his own eye and his own expertise. He was endlessly curious. He’d buy small things, and one thing would lead to another, Pre-Columbian would lead to another associated area. Bill really appreciated aspects of an artist’s work that were not necessarily recognized by the market, or what was not considered indicative of the best of that artist’s work. He was looking for work that had not been recognized. He was not buying for investment, but for preservation. He never conceived that some of these pieces would mature in the market.” Miranda Lash, the Ellen Bruss Senior Curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver put it this way: “Art and artists were William Fagaly’s abiding passions. They informed his over fifty-year career as museum curator and art historian, and they infused his French Quarter residence with a vibrant and distinct character. The artworks from Fagaly’s collection reflect the relationships he built with artists, as well as a lifetime of traveling internationally as one of America’s leading scholars in African Art. Fagaly was known for following artists’ careers over decades and developing close friendships with the artists he admired. He was an advocate for Louisiana artists,

Black artists, and artists who were self-taught or had never received any formal training. Fagaly did not hesitate to look in unexpected places for talent, including in folkways and vernacular culture, and amongst artists who were at the time young or untested in their careers. Because of these deep connections, many of the artworks in his collection came directly from artists’ studios either as purchases or gifts. Many of these artists’ works also entered into the collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art due to Fagaly’s advocacy efforts. Some of the artists in his collection are well established (George Dureau, Peter Halley, and Jim Richard to name a few), whereas others were acquired purely based on their aesthetic charm and intrigue, and their ability to convey a compelling story. Fagaly’s African baskets, cloths, and masks, as well as his other ethnographic materials, reflect the eye of a widely admired curator steeped in his field, who was perpetually on the lookout for something original and transcendent. Together these objects made his home one of the most enchanting and evocative places in New Orleans.” Leslie Umberger is the curator of folk and self-taught art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. About Bill, Leslie notes: “Bill Fagaly was an especially astute viewer. A sensitive understanding of people, and the meanings invested in the things they made, were central to his nature. Bill’s deep connection with the arts of Africa and its diaspora—especially in the American South—was driven by an understanding that each artwork was an extension of the person who made it, a vessel for carrying, and caring for, the beliefs of that person. In both the exhibitions Bill curated, and within the items he surrounded himself with at home, there is a vestigial presence of a life, as well as the cultural richness that surrounded and shaped that life.” It is my honor to welcome you on behalf of the Prospect New Orleans Board of Trustees to participate in this special sale.

Note: The form for “Lion Paw” derives from a maquette Benglis produced in preparation for her first fountain, “The Wave of the World”, currently installed in City Park, New Orleans.
“I first met Bill in 1976, the bicentennial year, in New York where he had come to research the exhibition Five from Louisiana and we remained close ever since. He was my friend.
Bill was very important. He put that show together very early. This was a real mark for me. He was one of the earliest serious curators I worked with. Bill just kind of got it! He was so intuitive and cocksure of himself. He always knew what he was doing. He was so natural in whatever he did – he was always learning. Bill was a lion! He was a force to be reckoned with because his knowledge was so broad. It always felt like a celebration to be with Bill in New Orleans. He had a curator’s eye. His place in the French Quarter was like a shell of wonder! It was very homey. It was almost like being on the stage but behind the curtain. His collection had great breadth, but it magically came together. He had talent for putting things together. He had a curator’s eye; his home was a museum.

Bill Fagaly with Lynda Benglis, 2019
While Bill’s operatic laugh will be heard no more, his accomplishments will live on. He achieved his dreams and helped many others see and realize their own.
I gave ‘Lion Paw’ to Bill when he retired from the Prospect New Orleans Board and went to emeritus status. I thought it would be a meaningful way to commemorate his contribution to the city of New Orleans. I initially made the form of ‘Lion Paw’ as a study for ‘The Wave of the World’ for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. More recently, when I was restoring ‘The Wave of the World,’ now installed in City Park in New Orleans, I found the form again and cast it in acrylic.” ~ Lynda Benglis 36
