The Bowdoin College Museum of Art offers access to one of the country’s oldest and most prestigious collegiate art collections.

The Bowdoin College Library, which boasts a collection exceeding one million volumes, is housed in the main Hawthorne-Longfellow building as well as at several branches devoted to art, music, and other disciplines.

NEW EXHIBITIONS

September 25 through December 28, 2014A Bit of a Personal Universe: Travels in the Maritime Far NortheastOver the last two decades, Maine-based photographer Wilfred Richard has traveled throughout Maine, the Canadian Maritimes, and West Greenland. This exhibit features a small selection of his photographs of the North Atlantic region. The exhibit coincides with the publication of Maine to Greenland, a book he coauthored with William Fitzhugh. Sponsored by the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment.

Hubbard Hall Foyer

November 14, 2014, through August 14, 2016A Glimmer on the Polar Sea: The Crocker Land Expedition, 1913–1917Donald MacMillan led an Arctic expedition to claim “Crocker Land,” a distant landmass that Robert Peary sighted in the Polar Sea. But Crocker Land was a mirage. MacMillan and his colleagues spent the next four years investigating the natural history of the region. The exhibit features their work and present-day research in the same region. Sponsored by the Kane Lodge Foundation, Inc. and the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment.

Hubbard Hall

ONGOING EXHIBITIONS

Through March 29, 2015Cape Dorset and Beyond: Inuit Art from the Marcia and Robert Ellis CollectionThis exhibit features sculptures and prints from Cape Dorset (Kinngait), home to many of Canada’s best-known Inuit artists, and recently donated to the museum by Marcia and Robert Ellis. The pieces capture the range of styles embraced by these artists, from strikingly realistic and dynamic figures to whimsical and mystical creatures. Sponsored by the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment.

Through September 21, 2014Northwest of the Known Arctic Lands: MacMillan’s Search for Crocker Land, 1914In the spring of 1914, Donald MacMillan and three companions set off over the sea ice to find Crocker Land, an undiscovered island thought to be northwest of the known Arctic Islands, and possibly sighted by Robert E. Peary in 1906. It was a long and difficult journey, marred by tragedy and ultimately unsuccessful, closing a chapter in the history of Arctic exploration. Sponsored by the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment.

Hubbard Hall Foyer

Through December 14, 2014Faces of Greenland: Ivory Carvings from the Baregard CollectionIn the early twentieth century in the Greenlandic community of Kangaamiut, a group of talented artists began carving delightfully evocative human figures in sperm whale tooth and ivory. In 1940, Ankar Baregard purchased a collection of these remarkable sculptures, which was recently donated to the museum. Highlights of the collection include bas-relief carved walrus mandibles, teeth, and tusks, as well as carvings of men and women going about their everyday activities. Sponsored by the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment and the May P. Fogg Fund.

LONG-TERM INSTALLATIONS

Robert E. Peary and His Northern WorldAs a pioneering Arctic explorer, Peary relied on many extraordinary people, including his family, financial backers, loyal expedition members, and the Inughuit men and women of Northwest Greenland. He also worked ceaselessly to improve his methods of travel and his equipment, always keeping in mind efficiency on the trail and the comfort and safety of his men. Through objects, photographs, and motion pictures, this exhibit provides new perspectives on Peary and his long career in the north. Sponsored by the Russell and Janet Doubleday Endowment.

NEW EXHIBITIONS

June 28 through October 19, 2014Richard Tuttle: A Print RetrospectiveOffering new insight into his artistic practice and organized in close collaboration with the artist, Richard Tuttle: A Print Retrospective is the first-ever comprehensive examination of the prints of Richard Tuttle. In exploiting the unique possibilities of multiple printmaking processes, Tuttle reveals his deep interest in the relationship between medium, tools, actions, and collaboration. Through a selection of more than 100 works from the 1970s to today, many of which have never been exhibited by a museum, the exhibition demonstrates how Tuttle reinvents printmaking with his experimental approach, raising intriguing questions about technique, materiality, and the nature of art itself.

Major support for this exhibition has been provided by the Devonwood Foundation, Eric ’85 and Svetlana Silverman, The Cowles Charitable Trust, Coco Kim and Richard Schetman P’13, halley k. harrisburg ’90 and Michael Rosenfeld, Thomas A. McKinley ’06, and the Elizabeth B.G. Hamlin Fund at Bowdoin College. Additional support has been provided by Agnes Gund, Mary G. O’Connell ’76 and Peter J. Grua ’76, an anonymous donor, and the membership of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.

Osher, Halford, Center, and Focus Galleries

July 10 through September 14, 2014On 52nd Street: The Jazz Photography of William P. GottliebThe Jazz Photography of William P. Gottlieb features forty vintage photographs of jazz musicians in performance from the collection of the photographer’s family. William P. Gottlieb (1917–2006) began photographing jazz musicians in 1938 to illustrate a weekly feature he wrote for The Washington Post. Over the next decade he created almost 2,000 portraits of more than 250 musicians. This exhibition brings together Gottlieb’s photographic portraits of jazz musicians whose rebellious self-expression, charisma, edge, and mystery made them American icons.

September 27, 2014, through March 1, 2015Hendrick Goltzius: Mythology and TruthThe prints by the Dutch engraver, draftsman, and painter Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617) are dazzling for their technical refinement and provocative sensuality. An enormously talented portraitist and an eloquent narrator of ancient myths and religious legend, Goltzius was the equivalent of an art world star of early modern Europe whose light has not faded over the last four hundred years. This introduction to Goltzius’s art focuses on prints that were recently donated to Bowdoin by Charles Pendexter and David Becker.

September 27, 2014, through March 8, 2015Weaving the Myth of Psyche: Baroque Tapestries from the Wadsworth AtheneumA cycle of five precious tapestries illustrates the story of the princess Psyche who was taken as a bride by the god Cupid, according to the second-century Latin novel The Golden Ass, by Apuleius. Made of wool, silk, and gilded-silver, the tapestries were based on fifteenth-century engravings and were part of a series produced by an unknown manufactory in Paris in the 1660s, during the reign of Louis XIV. This is an extremely rare opportunity to see an important group of Baroque tapestries in northern New England. Supported by The Robert Lehman Foundation.

Boyd Gallery

September 30, 2014, through January 4, 2015Alison de Vere: Psyche and ErosThis animated cartoon film, closely based on Apuleius’s moving second-century novel The Golden Ass, is widely regarded as a masterpiece. Film animator Alison de Vere, who contributed to the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine in 1967, completed the twenty-six-minute film for Britain’s Channel 4 in 1994. Screened in the Museum’s Rotunda, the film provides a fascinating dialogue with the Baroque tapestries in an adjacent gallery.

His lecture explores three intertwined legacies of the Haitian Revolution on political thought and practice in the country: the largely hostile reaction to it outside the country, the formation of new political institutions and structures, and—most importantly—the creation of a new set of cultural, social, and economic structures that Jean Casimir has called the “counter-plantation” system.
