The six-week-long program of farewell events was hosted by various FAM constituencies, including members, volunteers, docents, staff, donors, and educators. These farewell events celebrated the 105-year history of the de Young Museum and its place in the artistic community of San Francisco’s past, present, and future.

    A special farewell week of activities (December 26 to December 31, 2000) was developed and promoted to the public. During this last week of December, admission fees were waived; flash photo permits were relaxed; museum store merchandise was marked down for clearance and special souvenir products were created; special public programming, children’s art activities and docent tours were scheduled; and special temporary exhibitions were on view.

    The de Young Museum stayed open all night on Saturday, December 30th through December 31st. This "Museum Marathon" accommodated a steady stream of visitors throughout the night. Of the approximately 100,000 visitors who participated in the six week series of closing activities, 71,101 visitors attended the farewell events during the last week of December. The closing activities attracted a large, diverse and appreciative audience. The final farewell ceremony was held outdoors the afternoon of December 31st. The program featured performances by gifted young artists, tributes by directors of sister cultural institutions, and remarks by civic leaders. The Board expressed appreciation to Trustee Belva Davis, who was mistress of ceremonies at the farewell ceremonies and moderated a videotape documenting the history of the de Young Museum; to Trustee Leonard Kingsley, whose swing band, "Once Over Lightly," kicked off the "Museum Marathon" on December 30th; and to Trustee Del Anderson, who arranged the memorable performance by "John Handy with Class", which closed the de Young Museum to the public on December 31st at 5 p.m.

He presented the following resolution, which acknowledges funding expended by the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums for the period July 1 through September 30, 2000:

    RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of

    $2,799,542 expended by the Corporation of The Fine Arts Museums during the period July 1 through September 30, 2000.

D. Report on de Young Museum Activities during Period of Closure

    Mr. Parker advised that planning moves forward for the off-site facilities to be utilized during the anticipated four and one-half year closure of the de Young Museum. At Mr. Parker’s request, Robert Futernick, Acting Associate Director during Dr. Steven Nash’s absences from the Museums, reported on the plans for the interim de Young Museum site, which will temporarily house American and Textiles curators, conservation labs, library, Registration Department, imaging studio, and art storage. A concrete vault will be constructed within the facility, which will provide a safe storage environment for the works of art. Packing at the de Young has begun and will continue over the next four months. The packing process utilizes the same technology employed when the Legion of Honor closed for renovation. Namely, all of the objects in the de Young collection will be bar coded in order to accurately track their future locations.

    Bill White, Director of Exhibitions and Technical Production, described the shelving units designed for art storage. The shelving units will accommodate 13,000 bins of art storage. Each object in the de Young collection will be assigned to a specific bin. Metal storage cabinets will house much of the Textiles collection. Systems have been developed to minimize the handling of the art objects. It is planned that a work of art will be handled once as it is placed into a storage bin within a shelving unit. With regard to the Museums’ existing off-site warehouse for exhibition furniture, store and publications inventory, and records, a new mezzanine area will provide space for relocating the technicians shop. This site will also serve as a shipping and receiving area for the Museums’ store.

    Vas Prabhu, Director of Education, described the de Young Art Center, a temporary education facility located at 2501 Irving Street (at 26th Avenue). The Center will be free to the public and is made possible by a grant from the Transamerica Foundation. A $20,000 grant from the California Arts Council will fund a program to maximize the use of the de Young Art Center by students, parents and teachers of five or six neighboring schools. The Center will house the Artists Studio, the resource center for teachers and parents, and art activities complementing exhibitions at the Legion of Honor. The Board of Trustees was encouraged to attend the opening festivities on Saturday, February 24th, at 10:00 a.m. Invitations will be mailed.

 

E. Report on the Establishment of Admission-Free Tuesdays Every Week in 2001 Through the Sponsorship of the Ford Motor Company

    Mr. Parker reported that the Ford Motor Company approached the Fine Arts Museums to sponsor a free Tuesday program at the Legion of Honor, whereby admission would be free to the public each Tuesday in 2001 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. In addition, closing time on the first Tuesday of the month from April through September will be extended to 8:45 p.m. to coincide with the Toulouse Lautrec and The Spirit of Montmartre exhibition and the Henry Moore exhibition. In addition to underwriting operating costs, Ford is also providing funds for promotion and advertising. Other museums participating in this program include The Art Institute of Chicago and The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.

 

G. Current and Future Exhibits

    1. Presentation on the Eternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from the British Museum Exhibition - Renée Dreyfus, Curator of Ancient Art

    At Mr. Parker’s request, Renée Dreyfus, Curator of Ancient Art, discussed Eternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from the British Museum, to be exhibited at the Legion of Honor from August 10 through November 3, 2002. Eternal Egypt is the first major exhibition to be drawn solely from the British Museum’s outstanding collection of Egyptian antiquities. Nearly 150 renowned masterpieces and other treasures will be featured. Illustrations of various objects in the exhibition were circulated. Eternal Egypt is organized by the American Federation of the Arts and the British Museum. The exhibition is sponsored by the Ford Motor Company.

 

H. Other Information Item
