B.  Report of the May 23, 2007 Meeting of the Acquisitions Committee of the Fine Arts Museums Foundation – George Hecksher, Vice President for Collections, and Chair of the Acquisitions Committee of the Fine Arts Museums Foundation

Chair Hecksher advised that a working session of the Acquisitions Committee was held on March 15, 2007 to begin a process to establish permanent collection priorities.  It was agreed that the next step would involve curatorial presentations on their respective collections, which would include a summary of the collection emphasizing strengths and weaknesses; identification of major works of art (“wish listâ€) to be acquired through purchase or gift, taking into consideration the cost of artworks acquired through purchase; and a description of deaccessioning plans.  Four curatorial presentations preceded the May 23^rd Acquisitions Committee meeting:  European Painting Collection, Dr. Lynn F. Orr; American Art, Timothy Anglin Burgard; the Art of Africa and the Americas, Kathleen Berrin; and Oceanic Art and The Jolika Collection of New Guinea Art, Christina Hellmich.

1.  Gift of the Thomas G. Fowler Collection of Alaskan Eskimo /  Inuit and Northwest Coast Art Consisting of 389 Objects Pending the Execution of the Gift Agreement

At the request of Chair Hecksher, Director Buchanan presented the gift of the Thomas G. Fowler Collection, a major collection of Alaskan Eskimo / Inuit and Northwest Coast Art.  This remarkable collection of 389 objects represents 40 years of collecting by Mr. Fowler who resided in Norwalk, Connecticut.  This collection of Inuit art, which is native American art from the region of Alaska, is exceptional for its quality and comprehensiveness.  Images of four outstanding objects in the collection were on view at the meeting.

Mr. Fowler had become familiar with the de Young Museum from articles in Tribal Arts magazines.  Following his death last year, the executor of the estate visited a number of museums around the country, including the de Young Museum.  It is an honor that the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, in particular the de Young Museum, has been selected to be the recipient of this significant Collection.  Mr. Buchanan emphasized that the cost to assemble a collection of this caliber would be prohibitive.  With the Museums’ existing strengths in the arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas, the Fowler Collection adds balance in the region of North American Indian Art and provides a cornerstone for future development of other North American Indian regions.  A traveling exhibition, a publication, and eventually a permanent rotating display of the collection at the de Young Museum are planned.

Mr. Buchanan expressed appreciation to the executors of the Thomas Fowler estate for making this gift possible.  He further acknowledged Robert Futernick, Associate Director of Museums; Kathleen Berrin, Curator of the arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas; and Adine Varah, Deputy City Attorney; for their efforts in bringing the collection to the Fine Arts Museums.  In conclusion, Mr. Buchanan advised that the gift agreement between the Thomas G. Fowler estate and the Fine Arts Museums was executed on June 15, 2007.

The 389 objects comprising the Thomas G. Fowler Collection of Alaskan Eskimo / Inuit and Northwest Coast Art are listed on pages 1-9 of Appendix I of these minutes.

2.  Purchases

Chair Hecksher reported that the Acquisitions Committee at its May 23 meeting recommended the purchase of three works of art listed below and on page 10 of
Appendix I of these minutes.

American Art
Rolph Scarlett (American, 1889-1984)
Abstraction XI, ca. 1940

European Art
Jan van Noordt (Dutch, 1624-1676/86)
Susanna and the Elders, ca. 1670

Placido Zuloaga (Spanish, 1834-1910)
Mirror, ca. 1880

Mr. Buchanan discussed the painting, Susanna and the Elders, ca. 1670, a major work by Jan van Noordt (Dutch, 1624-1676/86).  He explained that the artist took a conventional subject from the Apocrypha, Susanna and the Elders, and elevated it to a compelling visual exploration of threatened honor, both personal and familial.  This painting is considered van Noordt’s masterpiece.  Susanna and the Elders represents the epitome of Dutch Baroque painting and will contribute significantly to the Museum’s strong European painting collection.

3.  Bequests

Chair Hecksher advised that several bequests of art were recently received by the Museums.  These bequests included a painting by Robert Motherwell (American, 1915-1991), Music Over Music, 1981; and a work on paper by Sam Francis, (American, 1923-1994), Untitled, 1980; and Untitled (Reclining Female Nude), 1962, by Richard Diebenkorn (American, 1922-1993).  In addition, a late Trustee generously named the Museums as a beneficiary to receive a significant bequest of ten American art objects and forty-five works on paper.  The artworks bequeathed to the Museums are listed on pages 11 through 15 of Appendix I of these minutes.

4.  Gifts

Chair Hecksher discussed a number of artworks by artist Ruth Asawa (American, b. 1926) gifted to the Museums.  The works by Ruth Asawa include a complete set of 54 lithographs, 15 Black Mountain works on paper, 2 Black Mountain notes, 14 Sculpture Drawings, a Zipatone Collage, and a Sketchbook.  He further noted a gift of 88 works of couture by various artists, many of which appear in the exhibition Nan Kempner: American Chic, which opened at the de Young Museum on June 16^th and runs through November 11, 2007.  The gifts offered to the Museums by the Fine Arts Museums Foundation are listed on page 16 of Appendix I of these minutes.

5. First Step Deaccessioning

Approximately 100 European Decorative Art objects were recommended by the Acquisitions Committee for first step deaccessioning, as listed on page 17 of Appendix I of these minutes.

6. Purchases Reported for the Record

The 10 works on paper reported for the record are listed on page 18 of Appendix I of these minutes.

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco does hereby approve the appended May 23, 2007 report of the Acquisitions Committee of the Fine Arts Museums Foundation, including accepting the Thomas G. Folwer Collection of Alaskan Eskimo / Inuit and Northwest Coast Art, and approving the works of art acquired through purchase, donation, and bequest, as gifts to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco from the Fine Arts Museums Foundation; and approving first step deaccessioning.

On motion, duly seconded, there was no discussion among Trustees.  There was no public testimony.  The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to adopt the above resolution as Board Resolution 1623.

C.  Consideration and Possible Action to Adopt a Resolution Setting the Dates of the 2008 Meetings of the Board of Trustees.

V.

Report of the Director – John E. Buchanan, Jr.

A.  Consideration and Possible Action to Adopt the Revised Statement of Incompatible Activities Required by the San Francisco Ethics Commission – Adine Varah, Deputy City Attorney.

At the request of Mr. Buchanan, Adine Varah, Deputy City Attorney, addressed the Revised Statement of Incompatible Activities.  She noted that San Francisco voters in November 2003 adopted Proposition E, which revised and updated the City's conflict of interest laws. Proposition E, as codified in Section 3.218 of the City's Campaign and Governmental Conduct Code ("Section 3.218"), requires all City departments, boards and commissions, including the Fine Arts Museums Board of Trustees, to develop a statement identifying activities that are "incompatible" with City duties. On September 23, 2004, the Fine Arts Museums' Executive Committee approved a proposed Statement of Incompatible Activities, which is superseded by the proposed revision. The Ethics Commission, in an effort to ensure consistency among departmental statements, recently developed a standard template for use by all departments. But the template also contains specific sections that allow for a description of the particular department's mission and specific examples of "incompatible activities" previously proposed by that department.

She noted that under Section 3.218, the Ethics Commission has final review and approval authority over all City departments' statements of incompatible activities and is scheduled to finalize this policy by the fall of 2007.[2]

In essence, the Revised Statement of Incompatible Activities does not vary in intent from the proposed statement approved by the Executive Committee in September 2004.  On motion, duly seconded, there was no discussion among the Trustees.  There was no public testimony.  The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the appended Revised Statement of Incompatible Activities.
