About the Museum at Washington and Lee:
The Museums at Washington and Lee are a dynamic hub where art, history, and scholarship intersect. Comprising two distinct entities—the Art Museum and Galleries, and the
forthcoming Institutional History Museum and Chapel Galleries, the Museums are dedicated to fostering a community inspired by their rich history, collections, and exhibitions.
The Museums’ mission is to promote learning through direct engagement with its collections and to facilitate an interdisciplinary appreciation of art, history, and culture. It achieves this through a variety of permanent and rotating exhibitions that support
the liberal arts curriculum, align with the university’s academic objectives, and reflect the diverse interests of the community.
The span multiple sites, including the Reeves Museum of Ceramics, Watson Galleries, Washington Gallery, and McCarthy Gallery. Together, they house an extensive collection
of approximately 15,000 objects, ranging from early American portraits and European paintings to significant works on paper, photographs, and sculptures. The collection traces its origins to a bequest in 1875, when six portraits laid the foundation for what
would become a vast and evolving repository of artistic heritage. Over the past 150 years, it has grown to include celebrated works by artists such as Elizabeth Catlett, Fernando Botero, Mohammed Omer Khalil, William Christenberry, Sam Gilliam, Sally Mann,
Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, and Andy Warhol. Additionally, the museum boasts a substantial collection of East Asian prints, scrolls, and decorative arts, highlighting its global scope.
One of the museum’s most remarkable holdings is the Reeves Collection. In 1967, Washington and Lee received an extraordinary gift: 200 barrels filled with more than 2,000 ceramic treasures spanning four centuries and three continents. This donation
from alumnus Euchlin D. Reeves (Law Class of 1927) and his wife, Louise Herreshoff, a classically trained painter, laid the foundation for the Reeves Museum of Ceramics. The collection is now nationally recognized for its holdings of Chinese and Japanese export
porcelain and also includes 200 of Herreshoff’s paintings, influenced by French and American Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Fauvism.
Through exhibitions, research opportunities, internships, and academic collaborations, the Museums at W&L continue to serve as a vital resource for engaging with the past while inspiring new ways of thinking about art, history, and culture.

Re: Collection Documentation Templates?
Hi Rachel

There are a couple of great resources I recommend. The first is
?
Moving forward, this book may prove useful:
?
And finally, there’s Janice Klein’s helpful mantra: All you need is an offer, and acceptance, and a transfer of property. If you can document these items, having a formal “Deed
of Gift” is a nice to have but not a need to have for older acquisitions. For new acquisitions, it’s important because it codifies the transfer/ownership into one document.
?
Good luck,

University Art Policy examples
Colleagues,
The Citadel is setting a new policy regarding art in our collection, art gallery, and generally on campus and I would appreciate any examples and input.
We do have a small collection but are primarily focused on exhibitions as we have very limited storage space. Key request from my leadership is to ensure we cover our bases with liability on all fronts. What might I be missing?
Also, on view now in our gallery, all are welcome:
Many thanks,
Tiffany

Love and Photography: Traveling Exhibitions
Valentine's Day is around the corner, and love is in the air -- as well as in a number of our traveling exhibitions. Romance between artists lies behind the scenes in our Under the Mexican Sky, Weston's Women and even Photo-Secession shows. Our Brassa? exhibition exposes passions hidden in the shadows of Paris. We showcase some of the first-ever photographed couples and erotic scenes in our Daguerreotype exhibition. We also offer "Wigstock," which speaks to the importance of protecting the right to love as you choose.
?
?
Edward Weston traveled to Mexico City in the 1920s with?his paramour and protégée, the Italian silent film star Tina Modotti. The trip would become meaningful for both of their artistic careers. Our exhibition features rare vintage Mexican masterworks by both Weston and Modotti from their time in Mexico, as well as stellar photographs from the 1930s by the Frenchman Henri Cartier-Bresson and by Mexico’s own Manuel ?lvarez Bravo.
?
Transylvanian-born Brassa? is famous for his photographs taken after dark in the City of Light. Our unforgettable exhibition captures several creatures of the night, from mobsters and outcasts to prostitutes and pimps. He also secretly caught glamorous couples mid-conversation and passionate lovers in corner booths. His exploration of Paris is dreamlike, mysterious and certainly romantic.
?
Invented in 1839, the daguerreotype presented the first opportunity to carry around the portrait of your loved one. Our exhibition features all major genres of daguerreotype, including a selection of couples and families, as well as erotic stereos. Our?survey of the daguerreotype includes important examples from U.S., France, England and the Mideast.
?
Throughout his career, Edward Weston surrounded himself with brilliant, accomplished women. His role was, variously, that of mentor, business partner, colleague, lover, friend?and photographer. This exhibition celebrates the?women on both sides of Weston's?lens, including Margrethe Mather, Charis Wilson, Tina Modotti,?Anita Brenner,?Sonya Noskowiak, Dody Weston Thompson and?Imogen Cunningham.
?
A passionate affair ensued not long after Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe first met in 1916. Becoming lovers inspired a burst of creativity for Stieglitz, who made more than 140 photographs of O'Keeffe. Three of those images can be found in our Photo-Secession exhibition, which celebrates the creative forces who fought to establish photography as a fully-fledged fine art.
?
The love?story of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera involves lust, infidelity and heartbreak. They married in 1929, divorced in 1939 and then remarried the following year. Photographs of the couple are featured in an?incredible exhibit that?includes 98 images from Kahlo's?own?albums. The photos were taken by several high-profile artists including Manuel ?lvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray and Tina Modotti.
?
?Canadian Photographer?Pierre Dalpé?documented Wigstock, an annual outdoor drag show in New York City,?at the height of its popularity.?At?a time when queer people were experiencing overwhelming anxiety, hate?and backlash because of the AIDS pandemic, Wigstock was a much-needed opportunity to express joy, strength and pride. Dalpé?writes, "Despite the many gains the LGBTQ+ community has made in the past 30 years, we are still fighting for many of the same rights."?

Hi all!

We are on the verge of publishing a coffee table book on our public art collection. This is a grant-funded project, and I am now faced with how to distribute the book. Has anyone here used Amazon distribution? I am trying to see how others
have worked with them, particularly through a university. Our university press has quite a bit more fees than it looks like Amazon would have and they recommended that we look at that route as I would like to use any money collected from book sales to print
future editions of the book.

I appreciate any help or guidance that anyone can provide!

Hi, Emily, do you mean the Amazon Advantage program?
?
My museum uses that to distribute its own books and has done so for a long time.

[EXTERNAL SENDER - PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY]
Hi all!
?
We are on the verge of publishing a coffee table book on our public art collection. This is a grant-funded project, and I am now faced with how to distribute the book. Has anyone here used Amazon distribution? I am trying to see how others
have worked with them, particularly through a university. Our university press has quite a bit more fees than it looks like Amazon would have and they recommended that we look at that route as I would like to use any money collected from book sales to print
future editions of the book.
?
I appreciate any help or guidance that anyone can provide!
?
