Governing[ Corporation Business[ International aircraft design and production. Airbus of North America (AINA), is the US-based arm of France's Airbus S.A.S. Year[ 1997 Description[ When the company moved into its new building in 1997, the company wanted the corporate art to not only reflect its business but also to provide a pleasant workplace. In collaboration with Wayne Hill of Hill Corporate Art, existing company art and selections from other sources were used to compile a collection of photographs and computer imagery. The artwork takes you around the world with Airbus and into the company's planes. The main lobby features an extended series of satellite images showing a cloudless world with the continents and oceans repeating themselves over a large expanse, and futuristic images of jet planes. The art demonstrates the company's focus on the present and the future, not the past. At the top of the stairs leading off the main lobby is a nearly life-size image of a cockpit as a mosaic of three-dimensional squares. Artworks placed at the end of hallways draw you through the building and sometimes into aircraft interiors. Location[ Throughout the North American corporate headquarters.

Website Address[ http://www.bellhowell.com/contact/index.shtml#prmmt Governing[ The management of the USAF Art Program and collection is the responsibility of the Secretary of the Air Force, Office of the Administrative Assistant. The Air Force Art Program Office handles day-to-day administration of the program. The office is charged with responsibility for the Art Program. Business[ United States air force Year[ 1950 Size[ 8000 works Description[ The USAF Art Program and the beginning of its large collection of aviation art began in 1950 with the transfer from the U.S. Army of some 800 works of art documenting the early days of the Army Air Corps. In addition, under General Curtis LeMay, a "portrait" program was initiated. These portraits of senior officers, along with the donated art from the Army Air Corps, the works of noted artists Henri Farre (a French air combat pilot-artist in World War I) and Frank E. Beresford (a British artist and war correspondent in World War II), and captured German art from the Second World War, constituted the nucleus of a collection that is a historical record of military aviation through the first half of the twentieth century. In 1951, the Air Force sponsored a tour of USAF installations for 30 cartoonists, and in 1952 the Air Force sponsored 30 artists from the Society of Illustrators (New York). The concept of an official program, designed to record the Air Force story through the medium of art was born. Responsibility for the growing collection of donated art that would document the history of military aviation and the U.S. Air Force was given to the Secretary of the Air Force, Office of Information Services. It was a natural home at the time because much of the combat art produced in World Wars I and II by the U.S. and allies was done in support of domestic and foreign "propaganda" and public information programs. Historians belonged to the Information Services career field at that time as well. More importantly, the central purpose behind the program was to document the "Air Force story"--a job that belonged to Information Services. Telling the story through art--with sponsorship of artists trips to Air Force installations to cover activities and events--was a natural extension of the Air Force public relations program's effort to tell the young Service's story through news media representatives, books, magazines, special public exhibits, trips and briefings for important community/opinion leaders. The Art Program became a part of the Civil Liaison Division of the Office of information Services to document the Air Force History. In a major milestone that was to shape the direction and content of the program for the next fifty years, the Air Force met with the prestigious Society of Illustrators of New York, inviting them formally to participate in the USAF Art Program. They enthusiastically accepted the Air Force's invitation, and the mechanism was established whereby civilian artists, members of the Society of Illustrators, were sent on officially sponsored trips to Air Force installations all over the world. Later, the Societies of Illustrators of Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Midwest Air Force Artists, the Southwest Society of Air Force Artists, and numerous independent artists joined the program. Artworks produced from officially sponsored trips are donated to the U.S. Air Force -- usually as outright "gifts to the Government." Societies review works of their members before offering them as gifts. While there have been programmatic changes in the Air Force's Art Program, it has retained the essential characteristics it started with--art in support of Service public relations and Service support of the documentation of art. The United States Air Force relies on the generosity of professional artists from the Society of Illustrator (New York), the Societies of Illustrators of Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Midwest Air Force Artists and the Southwest Society of Air Force Artists to donate their time, talent and artwork to the Air Force premier Art Collection. The Air Force currently houses more than 8,000 works of art. Although paintings predominate, the collection also contains drawings, sketches, and sculpture. Air Force Artists receive special orders, which allows them access beyond that of public visitors to Air Force installations where artists can sketch or photograph unclassified planes, equipment, operations, and airmen working. Viewing[ The art is placed on the Pentagon tour route and in exhibits at military museums, Air Force bases and civilian museums at various locations throughout the year. Status[ Ongoing Selection[ The AFAPO works with various Illustrator Societies and independent artists throughout the United States. Artwork is juried by the Societies and is donated by the artist to the United States Air Force. The artists retain all copyrights. Source[ The Air Force Art Program has a corps of volunteer, professional civilian artists from the Society of Illustrators (New York), Societies of Illustrators of Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Midwest Air Force, and the Southwest Society of Air Force Artists who donate their talents to help the Air Force record its heritage. The art collection tells the Air Force's history from the early beginning of the US, into World War II, up to the present. Air Force artists donate their art to the Air Force Art Program every two years through their Society. Artists first submit their original artworks for donation to their Society - And the Art is reviewed by a special committee. Upon approval, the art is donated to the United States Air Force during a ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base. Loans[ The Air Force Art Program has original artwork available for temporary loan to museums; libraries and many other venues on a case by case consideration. Exhibits are tailored to each specific event. The paintings have been prepared for wall hanging or may be displayed on easels. All requests must be typed and submitted to AFAPO, 1720 Air Force Pentagon, Washington, DC 20330-1720. Keywords[ New listing, paintings, drawings, graphics, sculpture Category[ musfile

Personnel[ Chairman, David H. Williams. Governing[ Corporation / private collection Business[ Fund management firm Year[ The company was founded in 1962 Size[ over 1,500 original prints Description[ The collection on display in the company is part of the personal collection of Reba and Dave Williams collection. The collection is a remarkable and specialized visual portrait of American culture as it evolved, artistically, historically, and socially, from the late 19th century to the present. The original selections concentrated on pre-World War II American prints with a focus on work by artists employed by the federal government work relief programs of the 1930s and 1940s like the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Later this focus was expanded to include printmaking by the Mexican Muralists and their circle. Later color woodcuts from the Provincetown Group of artists who were active on Cape Cod in the 1920s and 1930s,were added. The scope was then enlarged to include black and white screenprints made after 1960, floral and garden prints that spanned the 20th century, and other contemporary aspects of the medium. Some of the masterworks include Winslow Homer's Eight Bells, George Bellows' A Stag at Sharkey's, Charles Sheeler's Yachts, Abraham Walkowitz's New York Abstraction (City of the Future), Jackson Pollock's early Coal Mine - West Virginia, Andy Warhol's "Black" Marilyn, Harry Sternberg's Riveter, Jasper Johns' Target, Edward Hopper's American Landscape, Robert Swathmey's color screenprint Rural Home Front, and the Lion Gardner House, Easthampton by Childe Hassam. When the firm moved its headquarters from lower Manhattan to Avenue of the Americas in the early 1990s, the installation of the collection was a priority of the office design. The London office has a collection of about 150 modern British prints, and is particularly strong in the Bloomsbury School, Claude Flight and his circle, and includes important examples of Stanley W. Hayter and the group of English printmakers who were influenced by his Atelier 17.

Year[ 1998 Size[ About 133 works. Description[ The program was created to honor and support the most talented contemporary visual artists by providing meaningful exposure and recognition in a public art forum. In 1998, with the help of an expert panel of prominent curators, artists, gallerists and critics, Altoids began actively collecting original works of contemporary art. Altoids challenged the experts to identify emerging artists whose painting, photography, works on paper, sculpture, videos and digital media represent some of the most "curious, strong and original" artworks. Based on the committee's recommendations, Altoids has purchased 20-25 artworks annually, and toured these artworks in 5 cities nationwide. In 2000, Altoids donated the entire Curiously Strong Collection, as well as all works subsequently added through the fifth year of the collection, to the New Museum of Contemporary Art, marking its first-ever acceptance of a corporate collection. After five years, the Collection included 110 original works by now well-known artists such as Laylah Ali, D.L. Alvarez, Jessica Craig-Martin, Sam Durant, Yun-Fei Ji, David Rathman, Barry McGee and Dario Robleto. Following this year's tour (the sixth tour), Altoids will donate the sixth year acquisitions to the New Museum's permanent collection, bringing the entire Collection to 133 original works that represent an innovative and adventurous approach to visual arts patronage. The Collection includes works in all media, including photography, video, mixed media, sculpture, painting, and digital art. Only emerging visual artists working in the United States are eligible for the collection, and no piece of submitted artwork can exceed $2,500 in value. The traveling exhibition is comprised of the twenty pieces that are chosen from a pool of one hundred nominated works. In addition to bringing attention and recognition to the featured artists, the selected works themselves represent the diversity of artistic production today and embodies notable recent trends in contemporary art, among them a renewed interest in architecture and design, an increasing critical attention to sound-based works in the visual arts, and the use of unconventional or surprising materials. The premiere viewing of these works is held each year at the New Museum in New York, and then travels to selected locations across the United States. Additional venues for the show have included Art Center/South Florida in Miami, Walter/McBean Gallery at the San Francisco Art Institute, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions in LA and DiverseWorks in Houston. Included in the Fifth Year Collection were Juan Capistran's The Breaks, David Rathman's We Got Papa's Business To Attend To, and William Cordova's No More Lonely Nig. As with the preceding five years, the Sixth Annual Altoids Curiously Strong Collection underscores the diversity of current artistic production. It features 23 works that will visit five prominent art venues including Consolidated Works in Seattle, Arthouse in Austin, Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia before its annual New York exhibition at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in fall 2004. Artists in the Sixth Edition of the program for 2004 include: Elizabeth Demaray, Aida Rulova, Conrad Bakker, Joe Fig, Naomi Fisher, Daniel Zeller, Robert DeMar, Iona Rozeal Brown, Mala Iqbal, Terence Koh, Herman Bas, Eli Sudbrack, Paul Swenbeck, Clare Rojas, Monique van Genderen.

Smith & Company, a small London firm established in 1780, developed the original recipe. Smith & Co. promoted Altoids as a "stomach calamative" that would relieve intestinal discomfort. The firm was later bought by Callard & Bowser, an English confectioner established in 1837. The first owners of Smith & Co. and Callard & Bowser were devout members of the Anglican Church. (Callard & Bowser-Suchard traces its roots back to a time in the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland when sweets were handmade in small batches by local confectioners who created their own unique specialties). It is, therefore, not surprising that they developed a method of liturgical Altoid consumption. The owners, their employees and the consumers of their products were all known to have participated in this tradition. The Wintergreen and Cinnamon varieties of Altoids were manufactured well into the first part of the 20th century. Due to financial concerns these Altoids were discontinued shortly before Altoids introduced in the United States in 1918. It is only recently that these varieties of mints have been "reissued," allowing the tradition of Liturgical Altoid Consumption to continue as it did in the time of King George III.

Bronzes, decorative objects and books. Description[ An extensive collection of works of art devoted to the dog, which includes oil paintings, prints, bronze and porcelain statues, historical trophies and rare books. This collection, which has been acquired over the last hundred years through donations and purchases, is displayed throughout the Kennel Club's New York and Raleigh offices. Most of the works have been acquired as gifts. The largest assemblage of works of art was received in 1972, when the Shearer sisters, Judith and Fayetta-Julia, bequeathed their books, paintings, prints, and bronzes relating to Greyhounds and Whippets to the kennel club. Two-well known dog artists, Gustav Muss-Arnolt and S. Edwin Megargee, were also Directors of the American Kennel Club. Paintings and drawings done by these two artists make up a large portion of AKC's collection. Some items were given by the artists themselves; other works were donated by individuals. Some of the other artists represented include George Earl, Maud Earl, John Emms, Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, John S. Noble, Edmund Henry Osthaus, Percival L. Rosseau, and Arthur Wardle. The Collection consists of over 135 canine oil paintings and more than 95 Works on Paper. In addition to its bronzes and decorative objects, the collection is also comprised of many rare books, including the first book written devoted to dogs - De Canibus Britannicis (1570). The Club owns 19 oil paintings by G. Muss-Arnolt (1858 -1927). His principal media were oil, and pen and ink. He created numerous pen and ink drawings for use by the Gazette. These drawings were of prominent show dogs of the time, many being rendered from available photographs of the dogs. Prints of these drawings were made and sold through the Gazette at 10 cents each. These drawings have once again been reproduced monthly on the covers of the Events Calendar. The Megargee Room: One of the main conference rooms at the offices in New York is called the Megargee Room. This meeting room is decorated with hand-painted head studies representing 24 different breeds. These are all portraits of specific showdogs of the late 1930s and all but one are listed as champions of record. These portraits are all recreations by Megargee of an original series of murals which were commissioned by the United States Maritime Commission in collaboration with the United States Lines Company. The purpose of the original 9" medallions was to decorate the luxurious kennels aboard the S.S. America. Before being permanently installed shipboard, the complete collection of medallions was displayed at the American Kennel Club with an opening reception on May 28, 1940. Only one piece from the original set of medallions is known to exist. Location[ In the American Kennel Club offices in New York and Raleigh. Viewing[ This collection is open to the public.

Since that time the company has aimed its support to the arts at living artists and contemporary art projects that are innovative and that focus on the creation of a legacy for the future. Most recently, AT&T support has extended to encompass the impact of new technologies on artistic creativity and on increasing access to cultural opportunities for young people and adults. The company has given more than $700 million over the last decade directed toward initiatives in arts, education, health, environment, and civic and community services. In 2000, AT&T has committed more than $60 million in community support across the country and around the world, that includes more than $5 million for the arts. Recent support to exhibitions have included: the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University for Asian Traditions/Modern Expressions: Asian American Artists and Abstraction, 1945-1970, that toured the US and the Far East; the Mexican Museum in San Francisco for its exhibition of work by Patssi Valdez, continuing to the Laguna Beach Art Museum; the Walker Art Center for Art Performs Life: Cunningham/Monk/Jones; the Bronx Museum of Art for Urban Mythologies: The Bronx Represented Since the 1960s, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston for Diego Rivera: Art & Revolution.

Description[ The Ashton Hotel was a historical redevelopment project in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. During an extensive five-year process, the exteriors of the 1915 Fort Worth Club Building and the 1890 Winfree Building were rehabilitated to the original architecture styles, while the interiors were transformed into an elegant setting for a hotel. The original Forth Worth Club outgrew its building, so the members demolished their original home at 6th and Main streets to erect the 1915 six-story building that now houses The Ashton. The Winfree Building was built in 1890 to house a law firm. The building was connected to the neighboring Fort Worth Club Building in a 1937 remodel. The art collection is made up of works by members of the Fort Worth Circle, an affiliation consisting of painters, sculptors, and printmakers who worked in Fort Worth simultaneously, but separately during the 1930s - 1960s. All artists in the circle had different backgrounds, styles, and techniques, but all had a common goal. to break away from the norm and introduce different facets of Modernism to Fort Worth while developing the local arts. Media include watercolors, drawings, original graphics, and oil paintings, and artists represented include Bill Bomar, Cynthia Brants, Kelly Fearing, Sweetie Ladd, Marjorie Johnson Lee, Josephine Mahaffey, Dickson Reeder, and Bror Utter. The original collection has been enhanced with additional pieces from Fort Worth Circle artists Veronica Helfenstellar, Blanche McVeigh, Emily Guthrie Smith, and Olive Pemberton.

Website Address[ http://www.jetsetmodern/bacardi.htm Email Address[ mscasero@bacardi.com Personnel[ Curator, Bacardi Museum, Magdalena Casero Governing[ Corporation. Business[ Wholesale trade. Year[ 1963. Size[ Approximately 120 works. Description[ Bacardi, the world's largest privately held, family-owned spirits company, started producing rum in Santiago in 1862. The family fled Cuba after the revolution in 1959 although the company's current production sales exceed 240 million bottles a year in 170 countries. Emilio Bacardi's private art and antique collection is still in Santiago, Cuba, as is the original family rum distillery. It was the fruit bats that nested in the rafters of the original rum factory that gave Bacardi rum its world-famous bat logo. Address: Calle Pio Rosado No. 552 e/Aguilera y Heredia; Telephone: 226 62 8402. The Miami headquarters houses a diverse selection of primarily Latin American art that includes paintings, drawings, watercolors, graphics and sculpture of international scope. Some of the artists in the collection are: Eduardo Abela, Romare Bearden, Jill Cannady, Jean-Michel Folon, Luciano Franchi de Alfaro III, Juan Gonzalez, Hodicke, Wifredo Lam, Julio Larraz, Christian de Laubadere, Carlos Merida, Max Pappart, Rene Portocarrero, Elmar Rojas, Ann Sams, Daniel Serra-Badue, Rafael Soriano, Francisco Zuniga. The museum covers corporate and family history from 1862 through today. The Miami headquarters is among the finest examples of blending art with architecture. Bacardi has long supported modern design; their most noteworthy buildings are two in Mexico and Bermuda, buildings designed by Mies van der Rohe in international modern style. The Bermuda building was originally intended for Bacardi's first headquarters in Santiago, Cuba, but Castro's revolution forced alteration of that plan. Bacardi's Miami site, on the 102' x 183' tract at the northwest corner of Biscayne Boulevard and 21st street, is home to two original structures: an 8-story tower and a smaller square building in the plaza. The tower dates from 1963, housing the Bacardi Museum, about 2600 square feet of office space, and a top floor dining room with panoramic views. The architect was Enrique Gutierrez of Sacmag International in Puerto Rico, and the builder was Frank J. Rooney, Inc. of Miami. The interior retains original design elements specified by designers Adella P. Estrada and Alberto Fernando Pla. The black leather Barcelona chairs chosen by Estrada in 1973 are still in place, as is the reception area wall tapestry designed by Pla. Original custom rugs were woven in Puerto Rico by V'Soske of New York. The tower of reinforced concrete is overlaid with two ceramic tile murals in blue and white, by Francisco Brennand of Recife, Brazil. The Bacardi tower murals are made of 28,000 hand- painted, glazed, baked, 6" x 6" tiles surrounded by a marble border. In addition to the murals, other tower surfaces include white-veined marble tiles and exposed concrete showing the effects of 1" x 4" tongue-and-groove planks used for the form to give a vertical striped effect. The east and west facades are made of thermopane, smoke-tinted glass with anodized aluminum mullions. In 1973, Bacardi added a square building in the plaza. The square building, raised 47 feet off the ground around a central core, features four massive walls, comprised of chunks of 1" thick hammered glass mural tapestries, designed to withstand hurricane force winds. Light bounces from the colorful surfaces by day, and by night they emit multi-colored streams of light from the backlighted interior. The glass tapestries were designed and manufactured in France by S.E.A.R. under the direction of Gabriel and Jacques Loire of Chartres, after an original painting by German artist Johannes M. Dietz. The architect of the building was Ignacio Carrera-Justiz of Coral Gables, FL. Abstract modern style on all four sides, this unusual building has two floors which cantilever out 24 feet on each side of the central core. Each floor is hung from the roof by 28 tensor rods, supported at the center by the concrete-reinforced central core. Location[ In the offices and museum of the corporate headquarters in Miami. Viewing[ The museum is open for public tours. Artworks located in private offices are not accessible for viewing. Status[ Ongoing. Source[ Artists, art dealers. Selection[ In-house corporate staff person. Loans[ Each request considered individually. Programs[ A series of art education workshops are held at the Bacardi Art Gallery in collaboration with the Dade County Public Schools' Art Department. Students are brought to the gallery for discussions of theory and art history related to the current exhibition, and a session of instruction and work in relevant medias. The corporation has sponsored an exhibition gallery in the corporate facilities to display regional artists and national traveling exhibitions since 1963. The University of South Florida is converting a 10,000-square-foot, two-story building on Brescia Avenue at the Coral Gables campus into the permanent headquarters of the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies (ICCAS). The new facility also will house Casa Bacardi-a conference center, 3,000-square-foot exhibition hall, cinema, and educational forum funded by a $1 million grant from The Bacardi Family Foundation, Inc. Two interactive pavilions at Casa Bacardi will feature music listening stations and computer terminals with access to the institute's online information database.

Business[ Railway company. Year[ 1903. Size[ 620 subjects. History of the Company: The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, more commonly known as the Santa Fe Railway, was one of the largest in the United States. It was chartered in Kansas as the Atchison and Topeka Railroad Company in 1859, and later helped in the settlement of the southwestern United States. It was renamed the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in 1863 and acquired its modern name in 1895. Its founder was Cyrus K. Holliday, a Topeka lawyer and business promoter, who wanted to build a railroad along an important trading route, called the Santa Fe trail, that ran from Independence, Missouri, to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The railroad expanded in the 1880s and early 1890s to reach about 9,000 miles, but it lost some of this mileage in a reorganization brought on by the financial crisis of 1893. Under Edward Payson Ripley, its president from 1895 until 1920, the Santa Fe flourished and grew to more than 11,000 miles of track. By 1941 it had more than 13,000 miles of track, but it shrank gradually after then. In 1968 the company became a subsidiary the holding company of Santa Fe Industries Inc. The days of its famed passenger trains such as the "Super Chief" were largely over by 1970, and it sold its passenger service to Amtrak in 1971. In 1983 this company and the Southern Pacific Transportation Company agreed to merge into the Santa Fe Southern Pacific Corporation, but the merger was rejected by the ICC in 1987. The Southern Pacific rail system was sold off in 1988, and in 1989 the Santa Fe's parent company became known simply as the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation. The Burlington Northern purchased the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation in 1996, and the resulting company took the name Burlington Northern Santa Fe corporation. Description[ The Atchison Topeka Santa Fe collection: a collection of Southwestern art; 246 of the 620 works feature the Indians of the Southwest and the balance is devoted to scenery and historic points along the Santa Fe route. Many of the artists represented are from the Taos Society of Artists, including 24 works by E. I. Couse and works by Bert Phillips, J. H. Sharp, E. L. Blumenschein and others. The former curator/advisor of the Santa Fe collection was Paul D. Benisek. Information about the Santa Fe Railway's program of featuring the art collection in company calendars can be found at the following website: http://www.qstation.org/Company_Calendars/ The man responsible for the history of Santa Fe's artistic use of southwest paintings for its calendars was William Haskell Simpson, who became the Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe Railway general advertising agent in 1900. His first goal was to enhance the company's image and promote tourism to the Southwest where Santa Fe's passenger trains roamed. Simpson searched for artists from the eastern United States to paint southwestern themed art, which were then be used in Santa Fe advertising. The artists were originally paid with trips to the Grand Canyon for the use of their work, however as more artists were utilized, it was decided the best plan of action would be to purchase the paintings, and avoid future conflicts with reproduction rights. The first painting purchased by Simpson was in 1903. The work of art depicted the San Francisco Peaks in northern Arizona, as painted by Bertha Menzler Dressler. Simpsons' zeal for this enterprise resulted in the Santa Fe Railway having acquired 108 paintings by 1907. Most of this growing collection illustrated Southwestern landscapes, and portraits of Native Americans as they lived in Arizona and New Mexico. Simpson and Santa Fe used the growing art collection on all forms of advertising, however the most remembered avenue of the collection's expression was the annual Santa Fe yearly calendar. This long tradition began in 1907, and lasted into the twilight of Santa Fe's independence in 1993. After World War II, the company used its artistic holdings by placing examples on the menus of the dining cars of its streamliners. The menus were full color and provided a description of the particular work of art, as well as information on its artist. Although Simpson passed away in 1933, Santa Fe continued to purchase and commission original paintings of Southwestern art. In 1966, the collection was put on a nationwide tour, which went from the National Archives, Washington, D.C., to the New Mexico Museum of Fine Arts, located in Santa Fe, NM. There were more than 600 paintings in the ATSF collection, which is one of the largest collections of Southwestern art in existence. The collection is now owned by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, which uses the art throughout its corporate offices system wide.

Burns, Jr. Governing[ Corporation. Business[ Banking and financial services. Year[ 1960's. Size[ Over 2,000 works. Description[ During the 1960's, under the direction of George Watts Hill, then president of CCB, the bank began to purchase the original work of area artists for local branch offices. The collection now consists of more than 2,000 works of art, and is one of the finest compilations of North Carolina artwork in existence. The collection includes porcelain, sculpture, weavings, prints and paintings. Included are works by artists from all over the United States, but in recent years, the bank has emphasized North Carolina artists. When a new branch opens, works are acquired by community artists, and a biography book containing information on all the artists is compiled and placed in the branch for public use. The collection includes all major North Carolina artists, including Maud Gatewood, Joe Cox, Claude Howell, Herb Jackson and Nancy Tuttle May. Location[ The main bank in Durham and its branches. CCB has more than 265 branches in North and South Carolina. Viewing[ The collection is always accessible to the public for viewing. Status[ Ongoing.

Review[ Will accept unsolicited material (slides, catalogues, etc.); from North Carolina artists; call or write before attempting to visit. Loans[ Each request considered individually. Support[ In December 2002, CCB donated $300,000 for the construction of an arts pavilion that will become the cornerstone of the Durham Central Park. The pavilion will be named the George Watts Hill Arts Pavilion in recognition of the former CCB chairman and president's contributions to the arts and artists across North Carolina. The pavilion will be adjacent to the existing Liberty Warehouse located at 603 Rigsbee Avenue, bounded by Foster, Corporation and Hunt Street, just north of CCB's headquarters in downtown Durham. The gift was made to Liberty Arts, a non-profit corporation focused on encouraging the creation of studios and venues for the production and placement of public art in Durham. When construction of the building is complete, the arts pavilion will be donated to the City of Durham and leased back to Liberty Arts. Liberty Arts will manage the foundry as a for-profit institution. CCB's gift will pay for the cost of constructing the rounded, open-air pavilion, which will hold ceramic kilns, metal forges, and an art bronze foundry, and is scheduled to be completed by December of 2003. A portion of the $300,000 gift will be used to commission the first piece of artwork to be fabricated in the pavilion -- a 10-foot metal sculpture of a bull, symbolizing the Bull City's culture and history. When completed, the sculpture will be displayed in the planned City Center Plaza, for which CCB has committed $400,000 to develop. The plaza is adjacent to CCB's headquarters at 111 Corcoran Street. The Central Carolina Bank has been a corporate sponsor of the Durham Arts Council for many years, and the bank supports the Central Carolina Bank Gallery, an exhibition gallery in the Arts Council building at 12- Morris Street in Durham (919-560-ARTS). The gallery is 3,600 square foot space. The Central Carolina Bank has won two important awards for its support of the arts: The 1979 Governor's Business Award in the Arts and Humanities; and the 1980 Business in the Arts Award sponsored by the Business Committee for the Arts and Forbes magazine. The Central Carolina Bank also sponsors purchase awards in numerous art shows throughout the year. The bank co-sponsored "Made in America: Modern Dance Then & Now," a photo-exhibit at the New York Public Library at Lincoln Center. The exhibition features 189 photographs documenting the history of modern dance from 1896 to the present. Bibliography[ "Bankers and the Arts.

At the same time, the hotel, recognized for its commitment to prospering an appreciation for contemporary artwork, is launching an art program and overnight promotional package to showcase its multi-million dollar in-house collection. ¤¤ Both the renovation and art collection are positive enhancements designed to position The Charles as a destination for the well- educated and cultured traveler yearning to stay at an intelligent hotel with a point of differentiation. Los Angeles based interior designer Peter Remedios, principal of Chhada Siembieda Remedios (C.S.R.), has brought a fresh perspective to the hotel's interior design. ¤¤ Remedios has designed both city and resort destinations throughout the world including AmanResorts, Hyatt International, Rafael, Regent, Shangri-La, Four Seasons and St. Regis hotels. ¤¤ Working in partnership with the hotel's architectural firm, Cambridge Seven Associates, The Charles Hotel's creative director Denise Korn, principal of Boston-based Korn Design, says, "The hotel's renovation and overall attention to detail provide a distinctive 'sense of place.' ¤¤ Our goal was to create a simple, smart style that perfectly complements the essence of Cambridge and Harvard Square" Traditional and regional design elements are interspersed throughout including white painted clapboard, commissioned artwork of local historic landmarks and a collection of early American quilts. The integration of Shaker inspired design enhances the Bauhaus School of functionalism throughout the hotel's interior. The design team has done a great job in integrating Shaker details into all of our rooms while strengthening our position as a leading destination for guests conducting business or entertaining in Harvard Square." The multi-million dollar collection of paintings, drawings, photographs and textiles reflect, through their imagery, the hotel's attention and appreciation to both its historic location next to Harvard University and Cambridge's cultural scene. In the lobby are commissioned paintings, "Mass Ave Cambridge, circa 1984" by Joel Babb and "Longfellow House, Cambridge" by George Nick, c. 1985. On the third level, the ballroom's prefunction space showcases Michael Mazur's "Two Triptychs of Sycamore Trees." Standing six feet tall, Mazur's impressive charcoal drawings are inspired from the sycamores found along Memorial Drive, one block from the Hotel. Other regional art found near the ballroom include works by Peik Larsen, Neil Welliver and a six panel commissioned drawing by Pat Steir. Meeting rooms at The Charles display works by Carol Anthony and Marcia Lloyd. Both painters depict views of the Charles River. The Charles Pavilion, a new wing of meeting and function rooms at The Charles Hotel, houses two photographic montages by Stephen Sheffield and an impressive collection of largescale color photographs of New England landscapes by John Wawrzonek. American photographer, Joel Meyerowritz, is represented in every guest room with two signed, limited edition color photographs of the New England coast. Also found throughout the hotel on every floor, is a unique collection of early American quilts. Hand crafted in geometric patterns of blue and white, the quilts date from the late 1880s. Viewing[ The hotel offers a self-guided walking tour of the art collection.

Harrison, Jr.; Vice President, Curator of the Art Program, Stacey Gershon; Vice President, Manager of the Art Program, Kathleen A. Pavlick. Governing[ Corporation. Business[ Banking and financial services. Year[ 1959. Size[ Over 20,000 works. Description[ The collection has grown from the resulting merger of six different corporate collections. The JPMorgan Chase collection began in 1959, when David Rockefeller, then president of The Chase Manhattan Bank, decided to build its headquarters using progressive architecture that was innovative and expressed the contemporary sensibility that was at the core of the firm's approach to doing business. This approach demanded equally forward- looking art. Rockefeller notes in his memoirs that the art program became a powerful expression of the bank's enlightened role in modern culture. The initial decision to collect both emerging and mid-career artists was made with the assistance of a selection committee of five leading museum directors and curators. Over the years, the committee has included such important names in the art field as Alfred Barr and Dorothy Miller of MoMA; Perry Rathbone from Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and scholars James Johnson Sweeney and Robert Rosenblum. A committee of art experts began to build a collection of works by artists who were exploring new techniques and styles. The philosophy was to challenge the expected. Through 40 years of collecting and merging with other institutions, JPMorgan Chase has built an international collection with huge breadth and depth. The collection now includes over 20,000 works in 350 locations worldwide, and includes paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, glass and ceramics, video, and ethnographic art, with representation from every country in which we do business. The focus of the collection is on contemporary art, with an emphasis on the work of emerging artists. Primarily American, the collection also includes works from roughly 80 other countries. Acquisitions cover all media including painting, sculpture, original works on paper, prints, photographs, video, folk art, textiles as well as ceremonial cloths and masks. Acquisitions include site-specific commissioned works installed in 1992 at the Chase office at Metrotech Center in Brooklyn: Information Wall, by Nam June Paik; Untitled (For Tracey Harris) by Dan Flavin, and Untitled (Clocks), by R.M. Fisher. Over 2,000 artists are represented in the collection. Recent acquisitions include works by Mathew Barney, Gabriel Orozco, Philip Taafe, Glenn Ligon, Stephen Balkenol. Other artists represented in the collection include Bruce Nauman, Jeff Wall, Chuck Close, Jack Pierson, Yasumasa Morimura, Christian Boltanski, Sophie Calle, John Chamberlaine, Terry Winters, Alfredo Jaar, F‚lix Gonzalez-Torres, Gunther F”rg, Richard Long, Robert Gober, Louise Lawler, Patrickk Faigenbaum, Craigie Horsfield, Adam Fuss, Ana Mendietz, Keith Sonnier, Christopher Wool, John Monti, Annette Lemieux, Lindsay Walt, Richard Prince, John Torreano, Meyer Vaisman, Francis Bacon, Chris Burden, Peter Halley, Jill Giegerich, April Gornik, Gerhard Richter, Francesco Clemente, Rosemarie Trockel, Isabel Langinhas, and Joao da Rosa. Many of the Asian works in the collection were purchased in cities where JPMorgan Chase has offices. Works are from six countries spanning more than 500 years. A description of the Asian works in the collection can be found at: http://www.jpmorganchase.com/cm/cs?pagename=Chase/Href&urlname=jpmc/community/art/ asianart The Merger of the JPMorgan and Chase Collections: see description at : http://www.jpmorganchase.com/cm/cs?pagename=Chase/Href&urlname=jpmc/about/hi story/pathways/artwork. More than four decades ago, Chase began to acquire art in conjunction with its decision to build an International Style headquarters building in lower Manhattan. Since Chase had chosen innovative and progressive architecture to reflect the image of a progressive, forward-looking company, it made sense to have an equally forward-looking art collection. The idea was to build a collection that would create a visually stimulating atmosphere for Chase's customers and employees, while also supporting and encouraging the artistic communities in places where Chase did business. This initial vision has flourished to become a collection of over 17,000 works in hundreds of locations around the world. The collection encompasses contemporary paintings, works on paper, photography, and objects ranging from American patchwork quilts, Korean screens and Nigerian masks to Peruvian ponchos, Navajo rugs and folk art from many cultures. JPMorgan's art collection was built from a similar vision. Like Chase, JPMorgan chose innovative contemporary works that complement the core of its approach to doing business. JPMorgan's collection is much younger, begun in the early 1980s, and accelerated when its headquarters moved to 60 Wall Street. The JPMorgan collection consists of 4,000 works including drawings, photographs, works on paper, and paintings. Location[ In the bank offices in major cities in 350 locations worldwide, particularly throughout the bank's midtown Manhattan facilities, as well as the San Francisco and London offices.

The art works are accompanied by educational materials. Exhibitions[ "Off the Wall, Works from the JP Morgan Chase Collections," at the Bruce Museum of Arts and Science in Greenwich, Connecticut, from May 15, 2004 - September 12, 2004. The exhibition focuses on the drawings in the collection, which mirror the collecting focus of the bank from its inception in 1959 to the present.
