Description[ The Kislak Corporation collection includes contemporary works by Hockney, Stella, Clemente, Diebencorn, Indiana, Kelly, Sam Francis; photography by Berenice Abbott, Imogen Cunningham, Kertesz; a mobile by Alexander Calder; tapestry by Rufino Tamayo; and an antique Florida map collection. The Kislak Mortgage Corporation has recently donated Roy Lichtenstein's stellar Modular Painting in Four Panels, no. 5, to the Lowe Art Museum in Florida. Kislak Foundation: Assembled over some 40 years, the Kislak Foundation collection includes 400 pieces of pre-Columbian pottery with a concentration in Mayan artifacts; art works, artifacts, books, manuscripts, maps and historic documents related to early American history and the cultures of Florida, the Caribbean and Mesoamerica. Foundation holdings include significant original documents and books by historic figures from the great age of discovery - manuscripts by explorers such as Hernando Corts, Francisco Pizarro, and Pedro Menndez de Avils, conquistador of Florida, as well as seminal books by the earliest chroniclers of the New World such as Christopher Columbus and Italian historian Peter Martyr. The collection also includes unique later books and documents such as George Washington's 1762 diary and letters in the hand of Thomas Jefferson from 1804 and 1809. Particularly important is the Foundation's collection of Floridiana - books, manuscripts, maps and letters related to the early history of Florida, from 16th century writings and drawings by the first European explorers to later works by naturalists Audubon, Catesby and Bartram. The Kislak collection of indigenous art of the Americas reflects more than 25 centuries of the development of pre-Columbian culture, primarily in Mesoamerica, the northern center of high civilization centered in Mexico and Guatemala. The collection includes objects extending from the early Olmecs of Mexico (1800 B.C.) to the Aztecs, conquered by Corts in 1521. More than half the collection represents objects created by the Maya, the most sophisticated indigenous culture, whose classic period flourished from A.D. 200 to 900. More than 200 objects, mainly from Mexico and Guatemala, are displayed in the Kislak Foundation's gallery in Miami Lakes, Florida. Also included are over 2,000 rare books, approximately 400 manuscripts and historic documents, about 450 maps, some 500 art works and a 5,000- volume research library. An important recent acquisition is a series of eight panoramic paintings portraying the historic Conquest of Mexico. Created in the second half of the 17th century, the series is recognized as an outstanding example of Mexican colonial art. Kislak rare book and manuscript collections include more than 1,500 rare books and 400 historic documents, as well as some 450 historic maps and a 2 ,000-volume reference library. The collections focus on the early exploration and colonization of the Americas, especially the region surrounding Florida and the Caribbean, during the period from the 16th century through the 18th century. Kislak collections include many first editions of extremely rare books. Others are the only copies existing in Florida. Unique original documents reveal information and insights into the lives of important historic figures. Location[ In the Miami headquarters. Viewing[ The Jay I.

Exhibitions[ Visions of Empire: Picturing the Conquest in Colonial Mexico. The exhibition Visions of Empire: Picturing the Conquest in Colonial Mexico provided a venue for a group of important historical paintings documenting the conquest of a new territory - the Americas. This exhibition, which also includes selected Aztec artworks, illustrates the presence of a culturally rich pre-conquest society. It was the mixture of European and native cultures that ultimately created the culture we now know as Mexican. Works have been loaned to the Lowe Gallery, Miami; the Bacardi Corporation Gallery, Miami; and the Center for Fine Arts, Miami. Support[ The Jay I. Kislak Foundation is dedicated to supporting scholarly research and contributing significantly to the knowledge and understanding of ancient and modern Florida, Mesoamerica and the circum-Caribbean region.

Research programs are developed by the Foundation independently or in collaboration with other institutions.

Website Address[ http://www.kohlerco.com/corp/ai/galleryintro.html Personnel[ Director, Public Affairs, Carol J. Erwin. Governing[ Corporation. Business[ Manufacturer of plumbing products, small engines and generators. Year[ c. 1974. Size[ Approximately 200 ceramics, cast iron and cast brass pieces. Description[ A collection of approximately 200 ceramic, cast iron and cast metal works of various sizes and treatments. The collection has been the result of an Arts/Industry program that has invited visiting artists to spend time experimenting with the materials and equipment available in the factory. Over the years, the company has acquired some of the ceramic art from the artists in the program and has also purchased works from artists who have not been at Kohler. The donation of finished work by program participants has steadily increased the size of Kohler's corporate art collection. In addition to being displayed throughout Kohler factory and office buildings, works from the corporate art collection can be found around the Village of Kohler. A walking/driving "sculpture appreciation tour" is being developed for village residents and visitors. At the company's corporate headquarters, the importance of art in everyday life has been enhanced by a series of murals found in the main office lobby, and painted by industrial artist Arthur Covey. The murals were one of former company president Walter J. Kohler's endeavors to enrich the environment for the employees. It was his philosophy that before a worker could aspire to greatness and pride of workmanship, he should be surrounded by the best this country had to offer. Location[ Kohler Design Center, Kohler, Wisconsin. Permanent collection pieces are also displayed throughout the main office, factory buildings. Viewing[ Items from the collection are rotated in a permanent exhibition gallery at Kohler Design Center, which opened to the public in July 1985. Status[ Ongoing Source[ Artists, Arts/Industry Program. Selection[ Committee of both corporate personnel and outside consultants.

Review[ Will accept unsolicited material (slides, catalogues, etc); write or call before attempting to visit. Status[ Works are occasionally loaned from the collection. Exhibitions[ Works have appeared in exhibitions mounted by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and the Jane Hartsook Gallery, New York City. Programs[ The company sponsors the ongoing Arts/Industry program during which artists work at Kohler's pottery, enamel shop, or the iron and brass foundries. Kohler Co. has long encouraged an ongoing dialogue with the art community by opening the doors of its pottery and iron foundry to internationally recognized artists. In a program administered by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, artists work side by side with Kohler associates during long-term residencies, utilizing industrial technology on projects of their own choosing. The resulting free exchange of techniques and ideas has opened whole new avenues of creative expression for the artists. The value of the Arts/Industry program to the factory can be assessed from both a personal and business standpoint. For some, the experience of meeting artists from all over the world is the most important aspect. For others, it's the bottom line -- over the years, design ideas generated by artists have been translated into innovative new products offered by the company.
