April 19, 20187 yr Author Rarely seen terracotta treasures reveal legacy of China’s first emperor in Cincinnati The terracotta infantryman wears body armor and stands at attention with a fierce expression. He appears ready to leap into battle. His hair is swept into a topknot, wrapped by a ribbon that shows vestiges of red paint added 23 centuries ago. The stunningly lifelike figure is one of 8,000 ancient terracotta warriors and horses discovered by local farmers who were digging a well in 1974 near the city of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province, China. The army was meant to accompany China’s First Emperor, Qin Shihuang, into the afterlife. Nine of the warriors, as well as a cavalry horse, arms and armor, works in gold and silver, ancient vessels and a spectacular, life-like replica of a chariot and rider with four horses will be on display in Cincinnati Art Museum’s “Terracotta Army: Legacy of the First Emperor of China,” April 20-Aug. 12.

September 28, 20186 yr Gillian Wearing exhibit this fall: http://www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org/wearing Some of you *might* remember her video installation at the old CAC around 2000 simply called Drunk. That one was okay but greatly improved upon by 2003's Broad St., one of the most brilliant video installations ever devised. If we're lucky, they'll have that one in this exhibit. It was comprised of a half dozen scenes from various low-class English bars. The sound from each screen was on high volume so they all mixed together, just like in a real bar. The footage was like totally outrageous, pre-pickup artist stuff. Bad pickup attempts, bad dancing. I remember one fascinating journey by someone from the bar through an amazingly thick crowd crowd to the bathroom. Another was a pre-cell phone attempt by somebody to find a friend in a similarly dense crowd.

January 18, 20196 yr Author Rare Italian Renaissance masterpiece to make Cincinnati debut A masterpiece by Renaissance painter Giorgione is coming to the Cincinnati Art Museum, marking the first time a work by the artist has been displayed in Cincinnati. “La Vecchia” (Italian for “the old woman”) will be on view Feb. 15–May 5 in what will be the painting’s first exhibition following a major conservation treatment.

His work influenced artists for another two centuries, and he has been called the founder of 16th-century painting in Venice.

February 27, 20196 yr Author Cincinnati Art Museum brings City of Light's 'beautiful era' to life The Paris Exposition of 1900 was a glorious moment that celebrated the arts and sciences at the turn of the century. It was the most magnificent international expo to date, with moving sidewalks, colored fountains and 51 million visitors – more than the total population of France. It applauded all that was evocative, creative and luminous about the City of Light, from its impressionist art by Monet, Renoir and Pissarro to Parisian nightlife in the cafes and cabarets immortalized in posters by Toulouse-Lautrec. The expo celebrated scientific ingenuity and design. It was the peak of what was known as La Belle Époque (the beautiful era). Cincinnati Art Museum is bringing that opulent, “beautiful era” to life in “Paris 1900: City of Entertainment” organized by the Petit Palais Museum of Fine Arts, which was originally built for the Universal Exposition. The exhibition, featuring 230 objects from the Petit Palais and other city of Paris museums, will be on view March 1-May 12 in the Western & Southern galleries.

April 26, 20196 yr Author Art Museum launches $20M transformational project Five years ago, Cameron Kitchin arrived from Memphis to become the Cincinnati Art Museum’s ninth director and embarked on a mission to reconnect the storied museum with its community. He’s agreed to stick around for another five years, having just signed a new contract with the museum board, and is leading what could be the most transformative project in the museum’s 133-year history. Plans are underway to connect the Eden Park hilltop museum with the neighborhoods around it in an ambitious $20 million project whose centerpiece will be the creation of a grand staircase leading from Walnut Hills up to the museum’s front door. Called ArtClimb, this broad escalade will be designed to encourage visitors to walk, explore, linger and connect with each other as well as the historic treasures of the museum’s collection.

April 26, 20196 yr ArtClimb is estimated to cost $5 million to $7 million. "It's just fate, as usual, keeping its bargain and screwing us in the fine print..." - John Crichton
April 26, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, jmecklenborg said: I like it, but how does a staircase cost $20 million? Part of the 20 million will be going toward upgrading the entry condition at the museum along with other upgrades around the campus.
April 26, 20196 yr This is great! The art museum is really hidden, and doesn’t have much of an impact on the neighborhood and park around it. I’m glad the art museum will be increasing visibility from Gilbert and establishing a direct, lit and landscaped pathway up to the museum and Mt Adams. This should also allow for some cool outdoor installations, too. Isn’t the vehicular entrance being rerouted to the front of the museum? That’s a pretty major change, and I imagine it requires a fair amount of excavation and grading. I’d be interested to see more detailed plans on this whole project.
October 14, 20195 yr A wheelchair accessibility ramp is being built at the main entrance. It's a big, complicated project, and explains why they haven't done this yet.
