The museum acquired 193 objects in 2002. Each adds unique quality to the

collection, but even among them a few stand out as extraordinary. Grant

Wood completed fewer than 40 paintings in his mature style, and the oppor-

tunities to acquire them have been rare ever since the artist first came to

prominence after the exhibition of his instantly iconic American Gothic. The

museum has owned major prints by Wood, but not a painting—until this

year, when, miraculously, the great 1940 composition January became avail-

able. Not only is this a stunning work in its own right, and one of Wood’s

last completed works (he died in 1942), it also relates to a Grant Wood litho-

graph in the collection. Other major painting acquisitions included Oedipus

at Colonus, the masterpiece of Fulchran-Jean Harriet, a leading figure at the

time of the French Revolution whose career was stunted by his early death

before the age of 30; Éva Meurier in a Green Dress, by the Symbolist Maurice

Denis; and the Surrealist parody Le Déjeuner sur l’Herbre by Max Ernst.

The decorative arts and sculpture collections were enriched by a late

18th-century marble, Figure of a Young Girl by François-Nicolas Delaistre,

and a striking Limoges vase designed by Georges de Feure in about 1903.

A small, elegant 18th-century sword from Switzerland joined the arms and

armor collection.

Louise Bourgeois’s 1984 white marble sculpture Blind Man’s Buff adds a

new dimension to the contemporary collection, and Martin Puyear’s red

cedar and pine sculpture Alien Huddle, 1993–95, familiar to many because it

was on loan to the museum for a number of years, was officially welcomed

as an acquisition, thanks to the generosity of Agnes Gund and Daniel

Shapiro. This addition simultaneously enhances the contemporary

sculpture collection and strengthens the museum’s holdings of works by

African-American artists. Another sculpture visitors will notice is Tony

Smith’s Source, from 1967, a large-scale sculpture of geometric forms now

on view on the southeast lawn. The museum received the sculpture as a gift

from the Metropolitan Bank & Trust in 2001 but postponed its installation

until the 1916 building renovation was completed.

Jacques-Louis David’s 1813 sketch Cupid and Psyche provides an inter-

esting foil for the large painting of the same title that has been a visitor fa-

vorite for decades. Jan van Goyen’s drawing Landscape with a Wainwright

Mending Wheels by a Village Road from 1651 enriches the collection of Dutch

works on paper. And Richard Serra’s Khora from 2000 does the same for the

contemporary collection.

An impressive group of prints included an anonymous German hand-

colored woodcut Pietà from 1435–50, now the earliest print in the collection.

Also important are a gift from the Print Club of Cleveland, a double por-

trait lithograph by Johann Anton Ramboux, and an especially beautiful im-

pression of Rembrandt’s etching and drypoint The Blindness of Tobit.

A wonderful array of photographs joined the collection, with a notable

group coming in a single purchase: The Charles Isaacs and Carol Nigro

Collection of American Photography is a spectacular group of early Ameri-

can photographs whose acquisition provides a stronger cornerstone for the

American photography holdings than could ever have been built through

individual acquisitions, bringing it onto a par with the museum’s fine hold-

ings in early French and British photography. Twentieth-century photo-

graphs included works by Eugène Atget, Alfred Stieglitz, Gordon Parks,

Carl Chiarenza, Jayne Hinds Bidaut, and Abelardo Morell.

The collection of art of the ancient Americas was particularly enriched

by the addition of Vessel with Deity Mask, an Olmec-style ceramic, from be-

tween 1200 and 900 BC. This haunting ceramic embodies the remarkable

inventiveness of Mexico’s first great art style.

Several centuries earlier, across the Atlantic, a statue of a female wor-

shiper was made in Crete. The small bronze is a fine and exceedingly rare

example of the Middle Minoan III–Late Minoan I production between

about 1600 and 1500 BC, and makes a wonderful addition to the museum’s

notable holdings of small bronzes from antiquity.

From Asia, notable additions included two 18th-century Indian minia-

tures, a 15th-century storage jar and a contemporary incense burner from

Japan, and Mirror with Jade Disk Inset, made in China 2,000 to 2,500 years

ago. Finally, the magnificent Feathered Panel, made in Peru between AD 600

and 900, joined the textiles collection.

The conservation department, charged with preserving the works of art

in the collection so that future generations may enjoy them, undertook a

number of major projects in addition to its ongoing activity. The major fo-

cus in the paper conservation lab was on the research of past conservation

treatment of the Cleveland impression of Pollaiuolo’s Battle of the Nudes in

conjunction with the related exhibition. The research helped the curator

better understand the image and enlightened the conservation field with

the nature of past treatments. The results of the research were placed on the

museum’s Web site—the equivalent of 60 pages of text and 84 images, in-

cluding magnifications of each. The department encountered unusual chal-

lenges in preparing for Into the Light, with its array of vintage (1960s–70s)

film projection and video equipment and various experimental multimedia

fabrications. Major paintings treatments included works by Gros, Titian,

Girodet, and Rembrandt.

During the year, the museum also loaned works from its collection to

special exhibitions in about 50 other institutions in all corners of the globe,

among them many of the world’s major museums, from the Art Gallery of

New South Wales in Sydney, Australia and the Kyoto National Museum in

Japan, to the Musée des Beaux Arts in Lyon, France and the Royal Academy

of Arts in London, to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, the Mu-

seum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the Metropolitan Museum

of Art in New York City.

The collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art is a resource that is re-

nowned and in demand the world over. But it resides here in Cleveland, so

that anyone can walk in, free of charge, and stand face-to-face with some of

the greatest creative achievements of all time.

Aside from the sparkling gleam of thecleaned and restored south facadeof the museum’s 1916 building, theclearest signal that the restoration ofthe original building’s exterior andterraces was nearing completion wasthe reappearance in May of Rodin’sfamiliar Thinker on a pedestal in frontof the south steps.

A close examination reveals a fewimprovements in the Thinker’s circum-stances. First, the black marble pedestalthat had been installed in the early1970s is gone, replaced by whitegranite to match the stonework of theterraces. A bomb detonated in 1970shattered the original concrete base,

and the new base was designed tocomplement the statue, which wasreturned to its place with the bomb’sdamage intact, evident in shards ofshredded bronze where the figure’s feetonce had been.

When the museum was consideringwhether to keep the black granite baseor build a new one, another issue thathad been debated in the aftermath ofthe bombing came up again. The Rodinestate had indicated in 1971 that themuseum could commission a new castof the Thinker from the same mold asthe original, provided the existing sculp-ture was destroyed. In 2002, as in1970, the decision was made to forgothis option, however. Rodin’s philosophywas that a sculpture changes with time,and that everything that happens to itbecomes a part of the work of art.

The new base is a 15,000-poundblock of solid marble. “It took a specialcrane to lower it into place and ourentire installation crew of 15 to level it,”recalls Randall Von Ryan, associatedirector of architecture and construction.“A monolithic block holds up muchbetter against the elements than some-thing constructed out of pieces of stone.Everything out there was built to last acouple hundred years.”

The sculpture was cleaned andtreated by museum conservators, aswere all the other outdoor pieces thatpopulate the south terrace. Some madebrief public appearances during the res-toration project as part of the exhibitionConserving the Past for the Future andin an Object in Focus show.

One improvement shows up onlyafter the sun goes down: unobtrusivelights installed flush with the pavingstones shine up on the Thinker, makinghis inspiring figure visible from acrossthe Fine Arts Lagoon, day or night.
