La cruz-relicario de San Salvador de Fuentes es un suntuoso crucifijo hecho principalmente de madera y plata creado a finales del siglo XII para esta importante parroquia del concejo de Villaviciosa, en Asturias. El objeto es propiedad del Metropolitan Museum of Art de Nueva York desde 1917. El objetivo del presente trabajo es el de analizar el simbolismo iconográfico y los usos litúrgicos del crucifijo para luego contextualizar el patronazgo de la comitente del objeto, la noble local Sancha, y la creación de este relicario en la vida religiosa de la zona.

Abstract:
Han pasado ya 55 años desde la publicación del célebre «Notas sobre lo Camp» en Partisan Review, uno de los textos más conocidos de la filósofa y escritora Susan Sontag. En 1964 el término «camp» era, ante todo, una palabra-código en las subculturas gays de Nueva York y Londres y significaba una actitud irónica de la lectura a contrapelo de películas, novelas y objetos decorativos kitsch y de la cultura de masas (Schreiber, 2018). Desde entonces, la palabra camp ha ido ganando espacio en los ámbitos culturales, hasta el punto de que el Met (The Metropolitan Museum of Art de Nueva York) ha querido conmemorar el aniversario del ensayo de Sontag con una exposición, una gala y un magnífico catálogo con el objetivo de explorar los orígenes de la exuberante estética de lo camp (Bolton et al., 2019).

Abstract:
La digitalización ha revolucionado la manera en que las imágenes son producidas y puestas en circulación. Los signos visuales son añadidos instantáneamente a la órbita de Internet, donde son alterados y reproducidos hasta la saciedad, perdiendo en muchas ocasiones su significado original y generando nuevas formas e interpretaciones indeseadas. Como muestra el análisis visual y mediológico de un célebre caso, la imagen del matrimonio Obama con Rodríguez Zapatero y familia en el Metropolitan Museum of Art de Nueva York, el género del retrato político no ha permanecido ni mucho menos ajeno a esta situación. El conflicto sociocultural derivado de la confluencia de diferentes regímenes representacionales dentro de aquella instantánea continúa alimentando hoy, diez años después de su aparición, la reflexión sobre las múltiples y estrechas conexiones existentes entre estética y política.

Abstract:
En 1957 los gobiernos de España y Estados Unidos, a través del The Metropolitan Museum of Art y el Museo del Prado, acordaron la devolución de algunas pinturas de San Baudelio de Berlanga a cambio del traslado a Nueva York del ábside románico de San Martín de Fuentidueña. El ábside fue dibujado cuidadosamente y todos sus sillares numerados antes de su desmontaje y traslado hasta el nuevo emplazamiento en el museo The Cloisters.<br />En dichos trabajos quedó patente el alto grado de profesionalidad y conocimiento de Alejandro Ferrant Vázquez. Dado que los operarios del desmontaje no iban a intervenir en la reposición del elemento, este arquitecto plasmó con singular rigor en numerosos planos, complementados con un extenso álbum fotográfico, desde las disposiciones constructivas hasta las cotas de las irregulares hiladas de asiento de cada una de sus piezas. Esta metodología, usada en otros traslados, constituye un valioso documento técnico en una materia tan controvertida como el traslado de monumentos.

Abstract:
El museo de arte Whitney de Breuer se ubica en la isla de Manhattan, en Nueva York, próximo a varios museos muy importantes: al Museo Americano de Historia Natural, al Museo Metropolitano de Arte y al Museo Guggenheim, la obra más conocida de Franz Lloyd Wright. En la génesis del proyecto influirán las características del lugar, la geometría de la parcelación, las metáforas concomitantes con la fachada del anterior Museo Whitney, la emulación de la aérea volatilidad del Museo Guggenheim y la bien engrasada disposición del programa funcional, condensadas en una sección principal que se hunde bajo la línea de tierra y busca allí las raíces del diseño. El plano del terreno original separa arquitecturas distintas respecto al programa, la estructura y la morfología: transparencia de la parte inferior de la fachada frente a la opacidad y masividad de los volúmenes que avanzan hacia el exterior. El patio mediterráneo subyace en el esquema de la disposición de la planta y el complejo patio inglés aporta la sección generadora y da forma literal a las fachadas, contenidas por una envolvente abstracta y poseedoras de un contenido encriptado.

NYARC is a consortium of New York art resources, initially including the libraries of Brooklyn Museum, the Frick Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. The Metropolitan was not part of the Arcade (integrated libraries system) programme funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and withdrew its designation as a NYARC entity in December 2010. This article gives a brief history of NYARC and examines whether it achieved its aims of sharing resources, making them more accessible to the public, and saving money.

Magíster en artes, con mención en teoría e historia del arte
La siguiente investigación constituye una perspectiva histórica del Museo de Arte Moderno (MoMA) fundado en el año 1929 con apenas 13 obras y cuya concreción histórica revela cómo, a pesar de su modesto origen, el sueño de un pequeño grupo de personas logra convertirse en un referente museológico universal obligado. A lo largo de esta exposición se establecerá un paralelo entre la creación del MoMA, el Museo Metropolitano de Nueva York, el New Museum de Nueva York y el recientemente renovado Museo del Barrio en el Harlem, este último un reflejo del museo orientado la comunidad inmediata.

Full text
Abstract:
The pattern of American institution building through private funding began in metropolises of all sizes soon after the nation's founding. But by 1840, Manhattan's geographical location and great natural harbor had made it America's preeminent commercial and communications center and the undisputed capital of finance. Thus, as the largest and richest city in the United States, unsurprisingly, some of the most ambitious cultural institutions would rise there, and would lead the way in the creation of a distinctly American model of high culture. This dissertation describes New York City's cultural transformation between 1840 and 1940, and focuses on three of its enduring monuments, the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Opera. It seeks to demonstrate how trustees and financial supporters drove the foundational ideas, day-to-day operations, and self-conceptions of the organizations, even as their institutional agendas enhanced and galvanized the inherently boosterish spirit of the Empire City. Many board members were animated by the dual impulses of charity and obligation, and by their own lofty edifying ambitions for their philanthropies, their metropolis, and their country. Others also combined their cultural interests with more vain desires for social status. Although cohesive, often overlapping social groups founded and led most elite institutions, important moments of change in leadership in the twentieth century often were precipitated by the breakdown of a social order once restricted to Protestant white males. By the 1920s and 1930s, the old culture of exclusion--of Jews, of women, of ethnic minorities in general--was no longer an accepted assumption, nor was it necessarily good business. In general, institutions that embraced the notion of diversity and adapted to forces of historical change tended to thrive. Those that held fast to the paradigms of the past did not. Typically, when we consider the history and development of such major institutions, the focus often has been on the personalities and plans of the paid directors and curatorial programs. This study, however, redirects some of the attention towards those who created the institutions and hired and fired the leaders. While a common view is that membership on a board was coveted for social status, many persons who led these efforts had little abiding interest in Manhattan's social scene. Rather, they demanded more of their boards and expected their fellow-trustees to participate in more ways than financially. As the twentieth century beckoned, rising diversity in the population mirrored the emerging multiplicity in thought and culture; boards of trustees were hardly exempt from this progression. This dissertation also examines the subtle interplay of the multi-valenced definition of "public" along with the contrasting notion of "private." In the early 1800s, a public institution was not typically government funded, and more often functioned independent of the state, supported by private individuals. "Public," instead, meant for the people. Long before the income tax and charitable deductions for donations, there was a full range of voluntary organizations supported by private contributions in the United States. This dissertation argues that in a privatist spirit, New York elites seized a leadership role, both individually and collectively, to become cultural arbiters for the city and the nation.

Abstract:
The creative submission for my dissertation includes two of my documentary works: They Will Take My Island, a thirty-minute multimedia collaboration with filmmaker Atom Egoyan for amplified string octet, electronic track, and film, commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and Paper Pianos, a ninety-minute staged collaboration with director Nigel Maister and projection artist Kevork Mourad. The written submission for my dissertation is an examination of the ways in which experiences around transgenerational trauma inform and manifest in my creative practice. I offer a summary of my own family history of survivors of the Armenian Genocide and Lebanese Civil War, as well as a survey of displacement amongst the Armenian community in the past century. Furthermore, I discuss identity processing as diaspora and the act of cultural preservation, as inspired by genocide survivor, composer, priest, writer, and musicologist, Komitas Vardapet. I later examine these ideas in the context of creating They Will Take My Island and Paper Pianos, both of which were constructively motivated by transgenerational survivor’s guilt and draw from extra-musical documentary and horror genre practices.

Abstract:
A small, blind-tooled volume sits on a table covered in green baize: one clasp is open, the other is closed; and a slip of paper emerges from it reading Veritas odium parit (truth breeds hatred). This detail occurs in the foreground of a portrait by Hans Holbein of a young man identified as the Cologne patrician Hermann von Wedigh III (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). A study of the physical features of the book and of the history of the brief text — actually an ancient and then Erasmian adage — leads to a new interpretation of the painting in the context of humanist friendship. The book is seen to be a multivalent simile for the work of art authored by the artist as well as for the sitter himself, raising questions about the implications for these of a medium that can be opened and closed. The half-open condition of the book is understood to reflect the complementary pressures of openness and closedness, accessibility and intimacy, that characterized the Renaissance republic of letters.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the creation of the Museum of Primitive Art (MPA). The history of Michael C. Rockefeller's primitive art collection provides an ideal case study of the process of artistic legitimation. Through a detailed analysis of the complete organizational archive—including memos, publications, journals, and administrative paperwork—one can observe this process in detail. The small group of MPA administrators fought to promote artistic interpretations of the objects in the collection against the established view that they were anthropological curiosities. However, these objects were removed from their sites of production and early circulation and left in the care of American curators and tastemakers to make of them what they will; in Rockefeller's case, he leveraged them to produce capital he used in a struggle with other collectors and museum administrators. What he did not do is redistribute those resources toward living artists or register much hesitation about moving those objects to New York. Nor did he have to acknowledge the labor done by earlier advocates of these arts in black internationalist movements. Nevertheless, Rockefeller's triumph was the eventual inclusion of his collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), as the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing.

This chapter looks at how Kris' status as a convert to Catholicism temporarily provided him with professional and personal protection. His work abroad with international collectors, museum directors, and art patrons supplied a safety net beyond Austria if it became necessary. When the Metropolitan Museum of Art required an expert to catalog its cameo collection, it brought Kris to New York in 1929 to undertake the job. At the same time, Kris kept close track of deteriorating conditions in Austria and employed his contacts to find work abroad for his younger, Jewish colleagues. A liberal royalist in post-imperial Vienna, Kris remained convinced of the irreversible disintegration of Austrian political life. At his first meeting with Ernst Gombrich, he made sure that the young researcher understood fully the uncertainties attached to an art historical career in Vienna.

The conclusion considers the continued, widespread proliferation of the staid East-meets-West trope through a critique of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2015 exhibition, “China: Through the Looking Glass.” Ruminating on the afterlives of East-meets-West exoticizations, the conclusion synthesizes the preceding ones by analyzing the exhibition’s loaded cross-cultural hybrids of art-fashion-celebrity culture and Sino-US corporate sponsorship. The chapter argues that “China: Through the Looking Glass” might have countered the critique that the exhibition did not adequately present contemporary Chinese culture by including some of the art and design projects presented throughout the book, summarizing the vital issues these projects raise.

This chapter traces Baltermants’s entry into the art photography market. In the mid-1960s, he had his first New York City exhibition alongside other well-known photojournalists, including Robert Doisneau and Irving Penn. From there his work was included in a Metropolitan Museum show, and he was often the lone Soviet representative in major photography shows. In the 1970s, Baltermants began giving Grief visual context by exhibiting other images taken that same wartime day in Kerch. In 1983, Baltermants had his first solo show in New York City, and although reviewers loved his wartime work, reviewers panned the overall show. The critical appreciation for his wartime work and disappointment at his postwar Soviet “propaganda” did not dampen a few intrepid collectors’ interest in bringing him to the Western art photograph market and adding financial value to the list of values his photography possessed.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the role of Brazilian architects in emancipating Modern Architecture from overly limiting orthodoxies. In particular, this study follows direct, if weak influences across the Pacific to Australia and stronger ones across the South Atlantic to Southern Africa, where Brazilian ideas found fertile ground without being filtered through Northern Hemisphere mediations. Official delegations of architects from Australia and South Africa went to Brazil seeking inspiration and transferable ideas achieved mixed success. Central to the theme of this essay is a recently discovered and unpublished manuscript. It is the work of Barrie Biermann who, upon graduation from the University of Cape Town sailed across to Brazil in 1946 to gain first-hand knowledge of the architecture that had achieved worldwide renown through the 1943 Brazil Builds exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA). Biermann’s close observations and discussions with several of Brazil’s leading architects helped him develop a fresh narrative that placed recent developments in a continuum linked to Portuguese colonial architecture that had taken lessons from the ‘East’. Published in a very abridged form in a professional journal in 1950, it lost much of the charm of the original, which, in addition to imaginative theoretical speculation, is enriched by evocative, atmospheric sketches, water colours and photographs. This study shows that South-South connections were quite independent and predated the influence of ‘scientific’ manuals of ‘how-to build in the tropics’ that proliferated from metropolitan centres in the mid-1950s, preparing for decolonization but perhaps also motivated by ambitions of engendering other forms of dependence. Brazilian ideas and examples of built work played an important role in bringing vitality to some of the architectures of Africa. They also engaged with crucial issues of identity and the production of buildings celebrating values beyond the utilitarian.
