Museums Foundation. There was no discussion among Trustees. There was
no public testimony. The Executive Committee voted unanimously to approve
and accept these purchases.

C. Report on the August 20, 2001 Public
Hearing / Appeal Before the Board of Supervisors of the City and County
of San Francisco Regarding the Decision of the Planning Commission by
Its Motion No. 16039 Dated December 7, 2000, Certifying the Final Environmental
Impact Report, Case File No. 199.455E for the Proposed de Young Museum
Project
1. Report on the Findings of the Board
of Supervisors Resulting from the August 20, 2001 Public Hearing
President Wilsey reported on the August
20, 2001 public hearing / appeal before the Board of Supervisors regarding
the December 7, 2000 decision of the City Planning Commission certifying
the final environmental impact report (FEIR) for the proposed de Young
Museum Project. Speakers spoke for and against the Planning Commission
decision to certify the FEIR for the de Young Museum Project.
President Wilsey particularly acknowledged
Supervisor Gavin Newsom for his support of the New de Young Museum Project
throughout the course of the hearing.
President Wilsey advised that the Board
of Supervisors found the FEIR to be accurate, adequate and complete
except for the sections relating to the height of the Tower and to
some aspects of the analysis of the impact on historic resources.
She read the findings of the Board of Supervisors resulting from the
August 20, 2001 public hearing as follows:
"The Board of Supervisors finds that
the Final Environmental Impact Report for the proposed New M. H. de
Young Museum Project is not adequate, accurate and objective in all
portions, that its conclusions are not correct in all portions, and
that the findings contained in the Planning Commission’s certification
are not correct in all portions. The Board of Supervisors directs the
Planning Commission and Planning Department, in specific, and consistent
with the findings of the Board of Supervisors, to revise the FEIR to
include corrections and related environmental analysis, as may be appropriate
under CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act), on the following
issues: (1) errors and discrepancies in the shadow impacts analysis
relative to the height of the Tower; (2) errors and discrepancies in
the visual impacts analysis relative to the height of the Tower; (3)
updating and correcting the Project description relative to the height
of the Tower and to other information now available regarding the proposed
Project design; and (4) broadening and correcting the description and
related impacts analysis of the Project environmental setting relative
to existing and potentially qualified historic resources, currently
addressed in the FEIR pages C&R 80 - C&R 82."
The Executive Committee will be kept
apprised of developments, including the date of the forthcoming Planning
Commission hearing to certify the revised sections of the FEIR as
stated above, followed by a Board of Supervisors hearing.

Director’s Report - Harry S. Parker
III
|
| |
A. Consideration and Possible Action
to Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Loan of Two Paintings to an Individual
Mr. Parker discussed an unusual situation
whereby an individual has agreed to loan two major paintings by Winslow
Homer for an exhibition, Casting a Spell: Winslow Homer, Artist and
Angler, to be exhibited at the Legion of Honor at the end of 2002.
He noted the significance of these two paintings to the exhibition and
the fact that a number of fine works of art from the de Young Museum
are not presently displayed for viewing. In appreciation for the loan
of the two paintings to the exhibition, the possibility of a loan to
the individual of two paintings from the
de Young Museum collection was surfaced.
Mr. Parker pointed out that this practice is not uncommon at other museums.
However, the Fine Arts Museums’ policy governing loans of works of art
does not extend to individuals for personal use. The Museums’ insurance
policy would cover the two paintings on loan to the individual, who resides
in the Bay Area. Mr. Parker further stated that the two paintings would
be secure while on loan to the individual. He then introduced the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, The Museums’ policy governing
out-going loans of works of art permits outgoing loans to other museums
and institutions engaged in nonprofit, educational, and scholarly purposes
and does not extend to individuals for personal use; and
WHEREAS, An individual has agreed to loan
two masterworks by Winslow Homer, Fishing in the Adirondacks (Salmon
Fishing) and The Angler, to the Fine Arts Museums of San
Francisco for inclusion in the exhibition, Casting a Spell: Winslow
Homer, Artist and Angler, which will be exhibited at the California
Palace of the Legion of Honor from December 7, 2002 until February 9,
2003, and the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, from April 19,
2003 through July 6, 2003; and
WHEREAS, The M. H. de Young Memorial Museum
is closed to the public until the summer of 2005 in order to build the
New de Young Museum, and, therefore, a number of fine works of art in
the de Young Museum collections are not presently displayed for viewing;
and
WHEREAS, Given the importance of the Winslow
Homer exhibition, the significance of the paintings, Fishing
in the Adirondacks (Salmon Fishing) and The Angler, to the
show, and the relevance and availability of works of art in the de Young
Museum collections, the Director of Museums has recommended that two
paintings, Nassau Harbor by Albert Bierstadt and Woman in
White Dress by Eastman Johnson, from the de Young Museum collections
be loaned to the individual for the duration of the Winslow Homer exhibition
at the Legion of Honor and Amon Carter Museum, including the time required
for shipment, installation and deinstallation, and that these two paintings
on out-going loan will be covered by the Museums’ insurance policy during
this period of time; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees acknowledges the special circumstances justifying
an exception to the outgoing loan policy and authorizes the loan of
two paintings from the de Young Museum collections, Nassau Harbor
by Albert Bierstadt and Woman in White Dress by Eastman Johnson,
to the individual from December 7, 2002 until July 6, 2003, including
the period of time required for shipment, installation and deinstallation,
when Casting a Spell: Winslow Homer, Artist and Angler, will
be exhibited at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor and the
Amon Carter Museum, and that these two paintings on out-going loan will
be covered by the Museums’ insurance policy during this period of time.
A motion was made and seconded. There
was no discussion among Trustees. There was no public testimony. The
Executive Committee voted unanimously to adopt the above resolution
as Board Resolution 1384.

B. Consideration and Possible Action
Recommending the Adoption of a
Resolution to the Board of Trustees
of the Fine Arts Museums at Its Meeting on October 18, 2001 to Name
the Department of Textiles the Caroline and H. McCoy Jones Department
of Textile Arts
Over twenty years ago, H. McCoy
Jones gave an important collection of approximately 800 Middle
Eastern carpets to the Fine Arts Museums. At that time, the
Museums expressed its long-term commitment to tribal rugs
and the hiring of Textiles curatorial and conservation staff.
Since his death in 1987, Caroline McCoy-Jones continued to
expand the Jones collection. In recognition of their extraordinary
generosity, it is proposed that the Department of Textiles
be named the Caroline and H. McCoy Jones Department of Textile
Arts. At this time, discussions are ongoing with Caroline
McCoy-Jones and the H. McCoy Jones Trustee in an effort to
meet the intent of Mr. Jones as stated in his will as consideration
is given to the further development of the Jones collection
at the Fine Arts Museums.
Mr. Parker presented the following resolution
recommended to the Board of Trustees for action at its meeting on October
18, 2001:
WHEREAS, In 1980, H. McCoy Jones presented
a diverse and comprehensive collection of extraordinary tribal rugs to
the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, which constitutes the core collection
of tribal rugs in the Museums’ holdings; and
WHEREAS, Since her husband’s death in
March 1987, Caroline McCoy-Jones has further expanded the Jones Collection
through many gifts of textile art, increasing the range and depth of
the collection; and
WHEREAS, The Museums have benefited significantly
from the active involvement and guidance of Caroline McCoy-Jones in
the growth of the Jones Collection; and
WHEREAS, The will of H. McCoy Jones provided
for future acquisitions, educational activities, exhibitions, curation,
conservation, research and publication of textiles in the Jones Collection;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco does
hereby recommend to the Board of Trustees at its meeting on October
18, 2001 that the Department of Textiles be named the Caroline and H.
McCoy Jones Department of Textile Arts in recognition of the extraordinary
generosity of Caroline and H. McCoy Jones to the Textiles collection;
and, be it
A motion was made and seconded. There
was no discussion among Trustees. There was no public testimony. The
Executive Committee voted unanimously to adopt the above resolution
as Board Resolution 1385.

C. Consideration and Possible Action
to Adopt a Resolution Increasing
de Young Museum rental rates and a change
in the rental terms for the Legion of Honor. The Legion rental fee of
$10,500 is unchanged, but the hours are reduced to three from four. The
two hour $8,500 rental fee is abolished due to lack of business. All other
facility rental fees remain the same.
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of
the Fine Arts Museums of
San Francisco does hereby approve the rental
rate schedule affecting certain facility rental fees with the guest capacities
and activity restrictions listed below remaining unchanged and with the
understanding that fee income will be payable to the Corporation of The
Fine Arts Museums to support museum activities; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the rental rate
changes will be effective October 1, 2001 but will apply only
to future clients, who have not yet been quoted a rental fee; and be
it
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the rental rate
changes supersede the facility rental rates adopted as Board Resolution
1285 by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees at its meeting
on December 10, 1998.
Rental Fees
Bookings are an exclusive FAMSF responsibility.
The Director of Museums may block out certain days, times of day and
periods when rental of an entire museum takes priority over renting
areas within a museum. Reservation confirmation deposits and balance
payable terms are set by the Director.

custodial service, coat check and a museum representative. Additional
fees, if any, will be determined at the
time of contracting.

when booking corporate events to reference a facility rental fee schedule
approved by the Board of Trustees. There was no further discussion among
Trustees. There was no public testimony.

to adopt the above resolution as Board Resolution 1386.
|
| |
D. Consideration and Possible Action
to Approve the Record Retention and
Destruction Policy for the Fine Arts
Museums of San Francisco Pursuant to Chapter 8 of the San Francisco
Administrative Code
At the request of Mr. Parker, Judy Gough,
Executive Secretary of Museums, explained that each City department
is required to adopt and implement a record retention and destruction
policy. This policy was drafted in accordance with material provided
by the City Administrator’s Office. The Sunshine Task Force is monitoring
the compliance of City departments to meet this requirement.
A motion was made and seconded. There
was no discussion among Trustees. There was no public testimony. The
Executive Committee voted unanimously to approve the appended record
retention and destruction policy.

to Present - Vas Prabhu, Director of Education
Mr. Parker advised that Vas Prabhu, Director
of Education, has accepted the Deputy Director of Interpretation and
Public Programs position at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts,
and will leave the Fine Arts Museums at the end of September. At Mr.
Parker’s request, Ms. Prabhu presented the attached report highlighting
the accomplishments of the Department of Education during her tenure.

to Ms. Prabhu. The Executive Committee extended best wishes and acknowledged
Ms. Prabhu’s exceptional contributions to

| |
C. Report on City Budget
Mr. Parker expressed concern regarding
the local impact of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center
in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., on September
11, 2001. The tourism industry in San Francisco, which had previously
experienced a decline in activity due to the general economic slow down,
may now face a further decline before a protracted period of recovery
occurs. This situation will affect the Hotel Tax fund, which pays for
the Museums’ City budget. Mr. Parker noted that he would specifically
address the impact of the terrorist attacks on the Museums later in
the agenda.

|

D. Current and Future Exhibits
At the request of Mr. Parker,
Curator Robert Flynn Johnson discussed the exhibition, Artists’
Books in the Modern Era 1870-2000: The Reva and David Logan
Collection of Illustrated Books, which opens at the Legion
of Honor on October 6, 2001 and runs through January 6, 2002.
Artists’ books, livres d’artiste, are books where,
through design, the words of the text are combined with art
created especially for that volume. Over the last two decades,
Reva and David Logan, who reside in Chicago, have assembled
one of the most important collections of artists’ books of
our time.
The exhibition of 180 volumes
covers 130 years and represents virtually every important
art movement of the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
It includes works by such artists as Manet, Lautrec, Rodin,
Picasso, Matisse, Léger, Miró, Johns and Hockney.
Computers in each gallery enable the visitor to view digitized
images of an additional 4,300 pages in the artists’ books,
which are not on view in the exhibition. A didactic component
of the exhibit features Peter Koch, Bay Area publisher and
printer, a facsimile of a print shop, and demonstrations on
the creation of an artist book including page proofs, paper
samples, printing, design and binding. A 300 page catalogue
has been published.
|
| |
D. Personnel Report
Mr. Parker announced the retirement of
Lee Miller, Curator of European Decorative Art, effective June 30, 2001.
Plans are underway to retain Ms. Miller on a part-time basis to organize
a European decorative arts catalogue for the Fine Arts Museums. A search
for a replacement has been initiated, and an appropriate means of honoring
Ms. Miller is being planned.

E. Other Informational Item
1. The Impact of the Terrorist Attacks
in New York City and Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001 on the
Fine Arts
Mr. Parker reported that in keeping with
the City’s decision to close all
facilities on Tuesday, September 11th,
the Legion of Honor was closed to the public and all Fine Arts Museums’
employees were sent home. On Thursday, Mr. Parker and Steve Dykes, Deputy
Director of Administration and Finance, visited each of the Museums’ sites
to meet with staff and assess security measures at each location. The
Museums’ emergency plans were reviewed, found to be comprehensive, and
requiring minor revision. In the future, additional security improvements
will need to be considered, primarily procedures related to visitor check-in,
namely, the screening and holding of visitors’ packages, backpacks, suitcases
(for visitors en route to or from the airport), briefcases, etc.
An article by Michael Kimmelman, The
Solace in Sharing the Beauty of Great Art and Music, from the September
12, 2001 issue of the New York Times was distributed. The article
stresses the role and value of the museum to society in troubled times.
Mr. Parker noted an increase in the number of visitors at the Legion
of Honor in the days immediately following the terrorist attacks. A
patriotic tribute
of organ music was scheduled last Saturday
and Sunday, and a floral arrangement of olive branches was created by
the Museums’ Flower Committee around the Thinker in the Court of
Honor. The recently acquired painting, A Particular Kind of Heaven,
by Edward Ruscha, was installed in Gallery 10 at the Legion along with
a simple statement, which concluded with the word "peace" written
in English, Arabic and Hebrew.
Under consideration are the implications
for several upcoming exhibitions, Dreaming with Open Eyes: Dada and
Surrealist Art from the Vera, Silvia, and Arturo Schwarz Collection
in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem (February 2 - April 28, 2002), and
Eternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from The British Museum
(August 10 - November 3, 2002), and a review of the permanent collection
by location.
Pam McDonald, Director of Audience Development
and Civic Affairs, noted that the annual Veteran’s Day event at the
Legion of Honor on Sunday, November 11, 2001 will honor those who serve
in times of peace, as well as those who serve in times of war. The program
will include tributes to the San Francisco police and fire departments.
