    Mr. Parker advised that the Ford Motor Company established a program last year to underwrite free days and marketing support at several museums across the country, including The Art Institute of Chicago, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. The Ford Motor Company sponsors a free Tuesday program at the Legion of Honor, whereby admission to the Legion is free to the public each Tuesday in 2001 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

    Mr. Parker reviewed the appended statistics for Ford Free Tuesdays at the Legion, which totals 38,234 through May 2001, or 18.1% of the weekly attendance. The Board of Trustees expressed sincere appreciation to the Ford Motor Company for their generous support. Those present were encouraged to attend a reception celebrating Ford Free Tuesdays with representatives of the Ford Motor Company in Gallery 10 immediately following the meeting. Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr., and members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will also attend.

 

E. Report on de Young Museum Move to the Interim Collection Management Center

        Mr. Parker reported that the complex move of the de Young Museum collections

to the interim Collection Management Center began today and will continue for approximately six weeks. Prior to the move of the collections, de Young Museum staff were successfully relocated to the Collection Management Center in South San Francisco.

        At Mr. Parker’s request, Debbie Albuquerque, Director of Human Relations, reported on the staff move. Ms. Albuquerque stated that approximately fifty employees were moved early this week to the interim de Young facility. A smooth transition is anticipated as curators, registrars, conservators, and ancillary staff acclimate to their new surroundings.

        Robert Futernick, Acting Associate Director during Dr. Steven Nash’s absences from the Museums, then reported on the move of the de Young Museum collections. The bar coding of each work of art within bar coded containers will allow for the safe movement and easy tracking of the objects. Once the collections are relocated, the objects will be scheduled for conservation work. Curatorial review will concentrate on consolidating and updating files in preparation for the reinstallation of the collections in the New de Young Museum.

        In response to a question raised by Trustee Baum, Mr. Parker noted that approximately 7,000 works of art were recently deaccessioned, which includes about fifteen to twenty percent of the objects in the de Young collections. He pointed out that more than half of the 7,000 objects consisted of coins, medals and paper currency.

Mr. Parker concluded his remarks by encouraging Trustees to visit the Interim de Young Collection Management Center as suggested by Trustee J. Bowles. He noted that some committee meetings in the fall will be scheduled at the Center.

 

F. Update on the City Budget

    The Mayor has presented the proposed budget for fiscal year 2001-02 to the Board of Supervisors. The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors will review the proposal over the next three week period. The Museums’ 2001-02 budget request decreased from the prior fiscal year by the voluntary transfer of thirteen guard positions and one building engineer to the Asian Art Museum. This action results from the closing of the de Young Museum and the Asian becoming responsible for its own operation.

 

G. Current and Future Exhibits

    At Mr. Parker’s request, Steven Nash, Associate Director and Chief Curator, discussed the Henry Moore: Sculpting the 20th Century exhibition, which represents the first major retrospective of Moore’s works in the United States in the past two decades. The exhibition focuses on Henry Moore’s entire career, underscoring his significance in the development and history of 20th century sculpture. Henry Moore: Sculpting the 20th Century features 180 works of art including 100 sculptures and 80 works on paper. The exhibition, currently being installed, opens at the Legion of Honor on June 23, 2001 and runs through September 16, 2001. It has been organized by the Dallas Museum of Art in collaboration with The Henry Moore Foundation.

    Mr. Nash then introduced two representatives from The Henry Moore Foundation, David Mitchinsin, Head of Collections and Exhibitions, and Anita Feldman Bennet, Curator, who are assisting in the installation of the Henry Moore exhibition.

Mr. Mitchinsin noted that The Henry Moore Foundation, an English charity established in 1977, supports not only the work of Henry Moore but sculpture in general, past, present and future. The Foundation is located in Much Hadham, England, approximately one hour from London, where a small museum and a large park are devoted to the work of Henry Moore.
