NEW EXHIBITIONS
ACTION/ABSTRACTION: POLLOCK, DE KOONING, AND AMERICAN ART, 1940-1976
May 4 through September 21, 2008
In Action/Abstraction: Pollock, de Kooning, and American Art, 1940-1976, the first major U.S. exhibition in 20 years to rethink Abstract Expressionism and the movements that followed, fifty key works by 31 artists - among them Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko - will be viewed from the perspectives of rival art critics, the artists, and popular culture. Beginning in the 1940s, artists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning created paintings and sculptures that catapulted American art onto the international stage, making New York City the successor to prewar Paris as the mecca for the avant-garde. Two art critics played a crucial role in the reception of the new American painting and sculpture — the highly influential New York intellectuals Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg. In the pages of magazines as diverse as Partisan Review, The Nation, The New Yorker, ARTnews, and Vogue, these critics wrote incisively about seismic changes in the art world, often disagreeing with each other vehemently. Their advocacy propelled the artists and their art to the forefront of the public imagination. By the late 1950s, Pollock and de Kooning were virtually household names and Abstract Expressionism was widely known throughout America and internationally. Action/Abstraction presents major paintings and sculptures from this decisive era, surveying the first generation of Abstract Expressionists as well as later artists who built on their achievements. Context rooms in the exhibition will feature personal correspondence, magazines and newspapers, film and television clips, and photographs that shed light on the cultural and social climate of the 1940s to the 1970s. The works in the exhibition, arranged in thematic sections, are grouped to evoke the rivalry of Greenberg and Rosenberg and the epic transformation of American art in the postwar period. Following its New York City showing, Action/Abstraction will travel to the Saint Louis Art Museum from October 19, 2008 to January 11, 2009, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY from February 13 to May 31, 2009. The exhibition has been organized by The Jewish Museum, in collaboration with the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Saint Louis Art Museum.
CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS
WARHOL’S JEWS: TEN PORTRAITS RECONSIDERED
Through August 3, 2008
Warhol’s Jews: Ten Portraits Reconsidered is on view at The Jewish Museum through August 3, 2008. When it premiered in 1980, Andy Warhol’s Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century was met with both admiration and hostility. The series depicts such luminaries of Jewish culture as Sarah Bernhardt, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, the Marx Brothers, Golda Meir, and Franz Kafka, among others. On view in this exhibition are the photographs that Warhol used as source images, several preliminary sketches, a preparatory collage, an edition of the final silk-screen print portfolio (of which 200 were published), and one of the five complete sets of paintings that he made for the series. The drawings and source photographs have not previously been exhibited alongside the finished pictures. Additional materials related to the portraits, including the list of nearly 100 “famous Jews” prepared by Warhol’s dealer, and television coverage of the artist’s trip to Miami for the world premiere of the series, shed light on their creation and display. Following its New York City showing, the exhibition will travel to the Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, CA (October 12, 2008 - January 25, 2009).
ART, IMAGES AND WARHOL CONNECTIONS
Through August 3, 2008
In the mini-exhibition, Art, Image and Warhol Connections, works by seven artists who directly respond to Andy Warhol or employ techniques often associated with Warhol’s oeuvre are on view. Warhol and themes central to his practice - such as current events, consumer culture and the superstar - are seen reflected through 26 works by a multi-generational group of artists, including Deborah Kass, Alex Katz, Abshalom Jac Lahav, Adam Rolston, Ben Shahn, Devorah Sperber and June Wayne. In the 1960s and 1970s, Shahn, Wayne and Katz developed new ways to portray the public personas of private individuals. In the 1990s, artists such as Kass, Rolston and Sperber cast a critical yet admiring eye on Warhol to address his omissions and limitations. Emerging painter Abshalom Jac Lahav elaborates and subsumes subjects of Warhol’s Ten Portraits of Jews of the Twentieth Century in his own ongoing portraiture project. Directly or indirectly, these artists extend and transform Warhol’s legacy.
CHILDREN’S EXHIBITION
ARCHAEOLOGY ZONE: DISCOVERING TREASURES FROM PLAYGROUNDS TO PALACES
Through June 15, 2009
In Archaeology Zone: Discovering Treasures from Playgrounds to Palaces, an engaging and thoroughly interactive experience, children become archaeologists as they search for clues about ancient and modern objects. Visitors can discover what happens after archaeologists unearth artifacts and bring them back to their labs for in-depth analysis. Children ages 3 through 10 magnify, sketch and weigh objects from the past and the present, piece together clay fragments, interpret symbols, and dress in costumes. By examining these artifacts and imagining how people used these objects in their daily lives, children learn how forms have changed and evolved over time, and how these objects relate to their own lives.
MEDIA CENTER EXHIBITIONS
OIL/WATER-MOTHER/DAUGHTER: VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY MOR ARKADIR
Through June 22, 2008
The Jewish Museum presents the documentary film Oil, Water (2005) and the photograph Overlap (2004) by Mor Arkadir, winner of the 2005 Adi Prize for Jewish Expression in Art and Design, in the Museum’s Barbara and E. Robert Goodkind Media Center. Both works explore the intersection between the artist’s secular world and her mother’s religious observance. Oil, Water is a 14-minute film depicting a 24-hour road trip in which mother and daughter confront generational differences, conflicting belief systems, and engine troubles.
POMEGRANATE: A VIDEO BY ORI GERSHT
Through June 22, 2008
Referencing a still life by 16th century Spanish artist Juan Sánchez Cotán, Ori Gersht’s eerie and painterly video features a ripe pomegranate dangling from a string, and framed with other freshly harvested produce in a window. In slow motion a bullet slices through the fruit-a food symbolic of the Bible, Jewish law, and Near Eastern culture-spraying blood-red seeds and flesh in the air.
MEDIA CENTER
THE BARBARA AND E. ROBERT GOODKIND MEDIA CENTER
The Barbara and E. Robert Goodkind Media Center features an exhibition space dedicated to video and new media, and houses a digital library of 100 radio and television programs from The Jewish Museum’s National Jewish Archive of Broadcasting (NJAB). Selections include such comedy favorites as “How to Be a Jewish Son,” a panel discussion from a 1970 David Susskind Show featuring the incomparable Mel Brooks; a 1947 radio drama entitled “Operation Nightmare” starring John Garfield and Al Jolson, produced by the United Jewish Appeal to call attention to displaced persons in postwar Europe; contemporary television documentaries on black-Jewish relations, Latino Jews, Jewish feminism, and klezmer music; interviews with artists such as Marc Chagall, Jacques Lipchitz, Larry Rivers, George Segal and Ben Shahn; and Manischewitz wine commercials produced between 1963 and 1981 featuring Sammy Davis, Jr. and Peter Lawford.
PERMANENT EXHIBITION
CULTURE AND CONTINUITY: THE JEWISH JOURNEY
This vibrant, two-floor exhibition examines the Jewish experience as it has evolved from antiquity to the present over 4,000 years. Visitors to the 4th floor see the Ancient World galleries, featuring archaeological objects representing Jewish life in Israel and the Mediterranean region from 1200 BCE to 640 CE, and a dazzling installation of selections from the Museum’s renowned collection of Hanukkah lamps. On the 3rd floor alone close to 400 works from the 16th century to the present are now on view in this dramatic and evocative experience.
Other highlights of Culture and Continuity include: a pair of silver Torah finials from Breslau, Germany (1792-93) reunited at The Jewish Museum after sixty years of separation; paintings by such artists as Max Weber, Moritz Daniel Oppenheim, Isidor Kaufmann, Morris Louis, and Ken Aptekar; prints by Marc Chagall and El Lissitzky; and sculpture by Elie Nadelman. A display of 38 Torah ornaments allows the viewer to compare artistic styles from different parts of the world. It features lavishly decorated Torah crowns, pointers, finials and shields from Afghanistan, Algeria, Austria, England, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Ottoman Empire (Greece and Turkey), Georgia (of the former Soviet Union), Morocco, Israel, Italy, early 20th century Palestine, Persia, Poland, Russia, Tunisia, the United States, and Yemen. Leonard Baskin’s 1977 sculpture, The Altar (based on the biblical story of the sacrifice of Isaac), considered the artist’s greatest carving, is on view for the first time since 1986. Television excerpts from the Museum’s National Jewish Archive of Broadcasting are also included. The entire exhibition is comprised of close to 800 works and is accompanied by a series of thematic, random access audio guides using MP3 technology, including a Director’s Highlights Tour with The Jewish Museum’s Director Joan Rosenbaum and WNYC Radio’s Brian Lehrer.
The portraits of the Levy-Franks family, attributed to Gerardus Duyckinck and dating from the 1720s to 1735, are the most extensive surviving group of Colonial American portraiture. The Jewish Museum will be exhibiting six of them consecutively in pairs through June 2009 in Culture and Continuity. The first two were on view through December 31, 2007, the second pair are on view from January through September 2008, and the third pair from October 2008 through June 2009. These six paintings are from the collection of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, a new museum scheduled to open in 2009. Spanning three generations, the works depict the German-born patriarch Moses Raphael Levy, his wife Grace Mears Levy, his daughter Abigaill Franks and her husband Jacob Franks, and five of their children. These paintings also hold a noteworthy place in American art as one of the oldest surviving family portrait series.
A recently acquired suite of classic post-World War II works originally designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson and the prominent Abstract Expressionist sculptor Ibram Lassaw for Congregation Kneses Tifereth Israel in Port Chester, New York, is also on view in Culture and Continuity. Included are sections of a large wall sculpture/bimah screen, the eternal lamp, the Torah ark, and two of the four bimah chairs.

Panel Discussion
IDENTITY, ENGAGEMENT, JUDGMENT: CLEMENT GREENBERG AND HAROLD ROSENBERG THEN AND NOW
Thursday, May 15
6:30 pm
What lessons can be learned from Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg, rival art critics who were instrumental in defining the terms and consequence of postwar American art? How effective and appropriate do their words and arguments seem now? How can the artistic present, which is partly defined by anxiety about the impact and legitimacy of art criticism, judge and use their achievements? Scholar-critics open unexpected passages between that moment and ours. Panelists include David Joselit, Chairman of the Department of the History of Art at Yale University and author of Feedback: Television Against Democracy; Linda Norden, Director of the Amie and Tony James Gallery at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York; Kenneth E. Silver, Professor of Modern Art at New York University and Adjunct Curator at the Bruce Museum, Greenwich, Connecticut; and Catherine Soussloff, UC Presidential Chair and Professor of History of Art & Visual Culture at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and author of The Subject in Art. The moderator is Michael Brenson, an art critic, art historian and teacher, and author of Acts of Engagement: Writings on Art, Criticism, and Institutions, 1993-2002. This discussion is presented in conjunction with the exhibition, Action/Abstraction: Pollock, de Kooning, and American Art, 1940-1976.
