DIRECTOR’S VIEW<br />
Dear MemberS,<br />
Whenever the doors of an <strong>art</strong> museum open, so do minds. <strong>Art</strong>, like literature,<br />
challenges and inspires the mind and spirit. Students of every age see,<br />
experience and learn new ways of viewing and interpreting the <strong>world</strong><br />
around them. As a professor of <strong>art</strong> and <strong>art</strong> history, I have seen firsthand the<br />
power of <strong>art</strong> education to turn students into students of the <strong>world</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> opening of the new <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> building is a pivotal moment<br />
in our history as an institution. <strong>The</strong> sheer beauty of the structure, the years<br />
of design and construction and the contributions of those who made it<br />
possible make for an event well worth celebrating.<br />
Dr. Carol Damian<br />
Yet, this grand moment for the <strong>Frost</strong> and <strong>Florida</strong> International University will<br />
soon be overshadowed many times over by the greater impact of the museum<br />
on our community.<br />
For the first time, residents of Miami-Dade County, p<strong>art</strong>icularly students of<br />
all ages, cultures and economic backgrounds will have access to a <strong>world</strong>-class<br />
museum building featuring significant exhibitions and outstanding programs<br />
at no cost. Admission to the <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> at FIU and its exhibitions is<br />
free. <strong>The</strong> potential impact on the lives of FIU students and children across<br />
Miami-Dade County is limitless. Our generous donors and members have<br />
allowed us to offer the priceless gifts of both <strong>art</strong> and education. <strong>The</strong>y believe<br />
this community is a worthwhile investment. Access to major <strong>art</strong> exhibitions<br />
and programming, especially in these lean economic times, is a gift of which<br />
we are proud.<br />
Since its opening in 1977, the <strong>Frost</strong>, previously known as <strong>The</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong><br />
at FIU, has never charged admission. P<strong>art</strong> of the mission of the <strong>Frost</strong><br />
is to “enrich and educate the university and local communities as well<br />
as national and international audiences through the universal language<br />
of <strong>art</strong>. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> contributes to the goals of FIU and its<br />
commitment to educate students, provide service to the community and<br />
promote greater understanding by collecting, preserving, presenting and<br />
interpreting a broad range of <strong>art</strong> from around the <strong>world</strong>.” We do not take<br />
this mission lightly. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> is the only <strong>art</strong> museum in western Miami-<br />
Dade, an area long underserved by cultural institutions.<br />
As we open our doors to a new era in our history, we look forward to<br />
seeing you, our members and donors, inside the building you made<br />
possible. We also hope to share this experience with other members of our<br />
local community, students, faculty and visitors from around the country<br />
and the <strong>world</strong>. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> belongs to all of us.<br />
Dr. Carol Damian<br />
Director and Chief Curator<br />

4<br />
Carlos Estevéz<br />
Feminologia Practica, 2005<br />
Mixed media assemblage, 49 1/2” x 37 7/8” x 4”<br />
Gift of Pan American <strong>Art</strong> Projects<br />
Born in Havana, the Miami <strong>art</strong>ist is known for symbolic<br />
work, combining myth and reality, as he presents people<br />
as hybrids, p<strong>art</strong> human, p<strong>art</strong> machine and sometimes<br />
p<strong>art</strong> bird. Inspired by themes of freedom, knowledge and<br />
human existence, his work is based on elements from<br />
alchemy, botanical and mechanical drawings.<br />
Thornton Dial<br />
Lady Know How to Hold the Jungle<br />
Mixed media assemblage, 47 1/4” x 59 1/4”<br />
Gift of Richard Levine, AIA<br />
Born in 1928, this self-taught <strong>art</strong>ist began making <strong>art</strong> after<br />
his retirement. Dial worked as a steelworker, welder carpenter<br />
and a bricklayer around Bessemer, AL, before deciding to<br />
create for his own enjoyment. He was soon discovered by the<br />
<strong>art</strong> <strong>world</strong> and showing his work at galleries and museums,<br />
including <strong>The</strong> New <strong>Museum</strong> in New York and the Whitney<br />
Biennial. His <strong>art</strong> uses African and American traditions to tell<br />
stories, functioning as folktales.<br />
Richard Levine and Jose Calderin also donated a large<br />
collection of works by a number of <strong>art</strong>ists including 35<br />
drawings by Purvis Young and prints by 50 renowned<br />
<strong>art</strong>ists including Picasso and Matisse.<br />
Aramis O’Reilly<br />
Providence, 1998<br />
Graphite drawing on canvas, 12” x 18”<br />
Gift of Susana and Yann Weymouth<br />
in honor of <strong>Patricia</strong> <strong>Frost</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> critic Juan Espinosa has described O’Reilly’s <strong>art</strong> as<br />
providing “the traditional visual elements of drawing and<br />
painting with scenic, kinetic and musical components.”<br />
Born in Havana, he has had his work exhibited in<br />
museums, galleries and public spaces. A Cintas fellow,<br />
O’Reilly attended the University of Connecticut and<br />
received a Master of Fine <strong>Art</strong>s degree from <strong>Florida</strong><br />
International University. He teaches painting and drawing<br />
at the New World School of the <strong>Art</strong>s in Miami.
Charles Ginnever<br />
Fourth Bridge, 1979<br />
Corten steel, 116” x 240” x 72”<br />
Gift of Gloria and Leonard Luria<br />
in honor of <strong>Patricia</strong> <strong>Frost</strong><br />
In the 1960s and ’70s, Ginnever was a pioneer in the<br />
revival of outdoor sculpture and public <strong>art</strong> in America.<br />
Best known for his large-scale geometric abstractions in<br />
steel which display an intentional patina of rust, Ginnever<br />
came to maturity as a sculptor in 1960s New York. He<br />
characteristically explores the tension between optical<br />
illusions and sculptural reality in his large open form<br />
welded metal constructions.<br />
Steve Tobin<br />
Steelroots, 2008<br />
Steel with white patina, 144” x 336” x 144”<br />
Steve Tobin<br />
Steelroots, 2008<br />
Steel with rust patina, 180” x 240” x 192”<br />
Long-term loan from the <strong>art</strong>ist<br />
Tobin’s Steelroots are an evolution of his signature bronze<br />
Walking Roots series, which culminated in the first and<br />
only 9/11 memorial near Ground Zero. Trinity Root, the<br />
massive bronze casting/sculpture is known for being the<br />
“tree that saved St. Paul’s Chapel” during the World Trade<br />
Center attack.<br />
In 2007, Tobin’s Steelroots was one of 40 sculptures<br />
chosen for the City of New York’s “40 Years of <strong>Art</strong> in the<br />
Parks” retrospective, gracing the entrance to Prospect<br />
Park in Brooklyn. Tobin is known for turning aspects of<br />
nature into sculpture. His work has been shown at the<br />
American <strong>Museum</strong> of Natural History and the American<br />
Craft <strong>Museum</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sculptures join other Tobin works, Bone Wall,<br />
Walking Roots, and Forest Floor, on loan since 2003.<br />

EXHIBITIONS<br />
MODERN<br />
MASTERS<br />
FROM THE<br />
SMITHSONIAN<br />
AMERICAN<br />
ART MUSEUM<br />
Nathan Oliveira, Nineteen Twenty-Three, 1961,<br />
Oil on canvas, 54 1/8” x 50 1/8, Courtesy the<br />
Smithsonian American <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> is the first stop on a national tour for<br />
Modern Masters from the Smithsonian American <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>,<br />
which features more than 30 <strong>art</strong>ists who transformed<br />
American <strong>art</strong> in the years after World War II. <strong>The</strong> exhibition<br />
includes five pieces donated to the Smithsonian by <strong>Patricia</strong><br />
and <strong>Phillip</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> in 1986, including works by Josef Albers<br />
and Hans Hofmann.<br />
In this important show, Virginia Mecklenburg, senior<br />
curator for the Smithsonian American <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>,<br />
chronicles the emergence of postwar abstraction, and<br />
Abstract Expressionism in p<strong>art</strong>icular, from the mid-1940s<br />
through its “triumph” in the late 1950s.<br />
Richard Diebenkorn and Nathan Oliveira in California,<br />
immigrants Hans Hofmann and Louise Nevelson, New<br />
Yorkers Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell, and many<br />
more explored powerful color and the nuance of line as<br />
they sought to express what it meant to live in the midtwentieth<br />
century. Some were friends who dropped by each<br />
other’s studios, attended each other’s openings, and then<br />
retired to bars and restaurants to talk about <strong>art</strong>. Others<br />
never met, but knew of the paintings and sculptures created<br />
by their colleagues from reports in the press.<br />
Some of the <strong>art</strong>ists, among them Seymour Lipton<br />
and <strong>The</strong>odore Roszak, probed the dark side of man’s<br />
unconscious. Sam Francis and Adolph Gottlieb explored the<br />
mysteries of space. Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell<br />
captured the color and light of the natural landscape;<br />
Romare Bearden and Larry Rivers explored meaning in<br />
family and community. Others, including Josef Albers, Ad<br />
Reinhardt and Esteban Vicente, tested the nature of human<br />
perception. <strong>The</strong>y all experimented, reversed course, refined<br />
and readjusted to capture the thoughts, feelings and moods<br />
of America during the Cold War.<br />
Exhibition runs through March 1, 2009.<br />

SIMULACRA AND ESSENCE:<br />
THE PAINTINGS OF LUISA BASNUEVO<br />
Florencio Gelabert:<br />
INTERSECTIONS<br />
Luisa Basnuevo, <strong>The</strong> Other Side of <strong>The</strong> River, 2006, Oil on canvas,<br />
66 x 80 inches, Courtesy of the <strong>Art</strong>ist<br />
Luisa Maria Basnuevo’s solo exhibition was the first to hang<br />
in the new <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, an emotional event for both<br />
Basnuevo and the show’s curator, Jim Couper, founder<br />
of the <strong>Frost</strong> and Basnuevo’s former painting professor.<br />
Basnuevo was one of the first graduates of FIU’s BFA<br />
program and received a Betty Laird Perry Student Award in<br />
1988 upon her graduation. She went on to receive her MFA<br />
in painting and printmaking from Yale University in 1991.<br />
“Luisa has had numerous solo shows, p<strong>art</strong>icipated in<br />
many group exhibitions, has had her work placed in<br />
prestigious collections, and has been the subject of<br />
dozens of reviews and <strong>art</strong>icles,” Couper said. “Her <strong>art</strong> is<br />
rich, mysterious and compelling…”<br />
Simulacra and Essence presents recent works from her<br />
series of large-scale paintings inspired by eucalyptus<br />
seeds she collected in Spain.<br />
“As the title of this exhibition suggests, each canvas is a<br />
synthesis of ideas and images,” says independent curator<br />
Mark Ormond. “In her investigation of the formal issues<br />
of painting, Basnuevo has creatively appropriated shapes<br />
and forms from the real <strong>world</strong> to become vehicles for her<br />
study, as well as material for discourse about her imagined<br />
terrain. Basnuevo’s intuitive combination of referential<br />
elements and process on the same picture plane endows<br />
her paintings with energy of anticipation…”<br />
Exhibition runs through April 4, 2009.<br />
Florencio Gelabert, Birth, 2008, Plywood, Styrofoam, aquaresin, soil, <strong>art</strong>ificial<br />
plant and flowers, 6’ x 3’ x 1’<br />
Florencio Gelabert’s environmentally-based installation<br />
Intersections illustrates the diverse nature of his oeuvre,<br />
from sculptures to video. <strong>The</strong> new show is comprised<br />
of two large-scale sculptures, Birth (2008) and Column<br />
Tree (2008), made in Gelabert’s characteristic style and a<br />
video loop Cycle (2008).<br />
Birth comes from a recent series of works in which<br />
the <strong>art</strong>ist combines <strong>art</strong>ificial elements extracted from<br />
the real <strong>world</strong> and his own creations. <strong>The</strong> result is the<br />
creation of a dramatic fantasy supplemented with a title<br />
that gives the work a figurative reference to the uterus.<br />
Column Tree is comprised of tree trunks made in aquaresin,<br />
burlap, gauze and PVC mirror panels, vertically forming<br />
a 12-foot high column supported by a steel structure. <strong>The</strong><br />
mirrors are arranged as if they were cutting the trunk’s<br />
surface from different angles as the spectator walks around<br />
the piece, constantly changing the perspective.<br />
In Cycle, Gelabert is interested in transcending traditional<br />
notions of sculpture by expanding its definition of threedimensionality<br />
into a multi-media video.<br />
Exhibition runs through February 28, 2009.<br />

EXHIBITIONS<br />
<strong>The</strong> FIGURE Past and PrEsenT<br />
Selections from the Permanent<br />
Collection<br />
JOHN HENRY’s<br />
Drawing in Space:<br />
THE PENINSULA PROJECT ILLUSTRATED<br />
Head of an Oba, early 19th century, West Africa, Late Benin Kingdom<br />
Bronze, 16.5 x 11 x 13 inches<br />
For thousands of years, every culture across the <strong>world</strong> has<br />
paid homage to the human body. Today, in a <strong>world</strong> of vastly<br />
expanded knowledge of physical life, <strong>art</strong>ists go beyond the<br />
simple representation of the human body by relating it,<br />
by analogy, to all structures that have become p<strong>art</strong> of our<br />
imaginative and intellectual experience.<br />
This exhibition showcases the similarities and differences<br />
among the traditional cultures of Asia, Africa, Europe and<br />
the Americas, and honors the achievements of the men<br />
and women we now call <strong>art</strong>ists. Many of them were not<br />
<strong>art</strong>ists in the contemporary sense, but rather magicians,<br />
shamans, priests and anonymous servitors of a higher<br />
authority. This selection is meant to introduce the viewer to<br />
the rich traditions associated with figurative representation,<br />
real and imagined, human and animal, and the often<br />
fantastic combinations of both. By casting wide temporal<br />
and geographic nets, the exhibits show the cross-cultural<br />
influences so relevant today, especially in the Miami area.<br />
This selection represents only a small number of works<br />
in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s collection of more than<br />
6,000 pieces of <strong>art</strong>.<br />
Exhibition runs through 2010.<br />
Image courtesy the Peninsula Project<br />
This exhibition highlights the process and concept<br />
behind Drawing in Space: <strong>The</strong> Peninsula Project, which<br />
incorporates large scale sculpture into the <strong>Florida</strong><br />
landscape. Henry specifically chose <strong>Florida</strong> for its<br />
peninsular shape which creates a unique geographic<br />
environment. Each individual sculpture invites the viewer<br />
to see the next, thus experiencing a new p<strong>art</strong> of <strong>Florida</strong>.<br />
This is not only an <strong>art</strong> exhibition but a way to provide<br />
a deeper connection between the viewer, the cities and<br />
the sculptures that encourages exploration of the natural<br />
beauty of <strong>Florida</strong>. Along with each outdoor installation, a<br />
local museum p<strong>art</strong>ner hosts an accompanying exhibition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> presents the signature exhibition for the<br />
project: Peninsula Project Illustrated and showcases all nine<br />
monumental works in the seven p<strong>art</strong>icipating <strong>Florida</strong><br />
cities. With models of the sculpture and large photographs<br />
of the pieces set in their various landscapes, the show will<br />
illustrate the <strong>art</strong>ist’s unprecedented use of the <strong>Florida</strong><br />
peninsula as his canvas.<br />
Exhibition runs through March 9, 2009.<br />

ANDREW REACH:<br />
FULL CIRCLE<br />
Xavier Cortada<br />
THE FOUR ELEMENTS<br />
Andrew Reach, <strong>The</strong>re’s No Place to Hide, 2008, Edition 3 of 3, 40” x 70”<br />
Andrew Reach was working as an architect, helping<br />
to design the new <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, when his career<br />
ended because of a crippling spinal disease. In an effort<br />
to transcend his pain and physical limitations, he turned<br />
his creative energies to <strong>art</strong>. Lacking the strength to<br />
paint, Reach ultimately created large-format computergenerated<br />
images. Reach’s love for painters Larry Rivers,<br />
Jackson Pollock, and other mid-twentieth century<br />
American <strong>art</strong>ists inspired him to fuse the Abstract<br />
Expressionist’s aesthetic with his interest in Eastern<br />
traditions, Islamic <strong>art</strong> and African patterns. Reach’s<br />
conception of vertebral structures and cellular forms<br />
evolved as he created images through which viewers<br />
might obtain a brief glimpse into the effects of his<br />
debilitating physical condition.<br />
With its ability to heal, <strong>art</strong> provided Reach the means to<br />
transcend his pain and limitations and exist in a space<br />
free of their constraints. With this exhibition, Reach has<br />
brought his career full circle by showing his work at the<br />
<strong>Frost</strong>: the beautiful and innovative structure he helped<br />
design at the close of his architectural career.<br />
Exhibition runs through April 4, 2009.<br />

One of the first sights to greet visitors to FIU’s new<br />
<strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> is a stunning 40-foot tapestry created<br />
by celebrated Miami <strong>art</strong>ist Xavier Cortada. <strong>The</strong> piece<br />
entitled “aer” or air, which hangs in the museum’s<br />
soaring atrium, is the first of four commissioned works<br />
that the <strong>art</strong>ist describes as “digital tapestries.” <strong>The</strong><br />
works are inspired by the four elements of water, air,<br />
fire and e<strong>art</strong>h, and will be rotated throughout the year.<br />
Cortada’s work was chosen from among 80 <strong>art</strong>ists who<br />
submitted proposals to the <strong>Frost</strong> for an installation as<br />
p<strong>art</strong> of the state <strong>Art</strong> in Public Buildings Program.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> piece is breath-taking,” said Carol Damian, director<br />
and chief curator of the <strong>Frost</strong>. “Along with our beautiful<br />
building, this work makes quite a first impression.”<br />
Cortada says that the tapestries, composed in striking<br />
colors that relate to each element, suggest “that if we<br />
look more closely at our surroundings, there are new<br />
<strong>world</strong>s to discover. Indeed, inside the museum, there<br />
are works by <strong>art</strong>ists who strive to push boundaries to<br />
further human understanding.”<br />

HOW WE<br />
GOT HERE<br />
MOVING FORWARD LOOKING BACK<br />
As the <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> steps into the future with the debut of its<br />
new building, it is with a sense of history. Years from now, visitors<br />
will find it hard to imagine that this major cultural institution<br />
began as a small university gallery in the lone building on a fledgling<br />
campus. A look back at its 31-year history reveals that the gallery<br />
became a museum through vision, leadership and sheer force of will.<br />
Jim Couper, founder of the original Visual <strong>Art</strong>s Gallery, and Director<br />
Emerita Dahlia Morgan, who transformed the gallery into a major <strong>art</strong><br />
museum, created the institution we now know as <strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong>. Couper’s<br />
initial vision and Morgan’s passion changed the landscape of FIU<br />
and Miami. In this special section, they tell us how it all happened,<br />
bridging the past and present.<br />

JIM COUPER:<br />
THE NEW<br />
FROST BUILT<br />
ON FOUNDER’s<br />
VISION<br />
As a visual <strong>art</strong>s professor and a painter, Jim Couper<br />
has influenced the lives and careers of thousands of<br />
students and <strong>art</strong> lovers for nearly 40 years. In the<br />
course of doing his work with his characteristic passion,<br />
and easy plain-spoken Southern style, he also achieved<br />
one of his greatest accomplishments. Couper founded<br />
the <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>.<br />
More than 30 years later, his initial<br />
vision and direction still define the<br />
<strong>Frost</strong>, and is arguably responsible for its<br />
tremendous success over the years.<br />
What was that vision?<br />
<strong>The</strong> museum opened in 1977 as<br />
the Visual <strong>Art</strong>s Gallery at FIU, a<br />
2,800-square-foot gallery. (It was<br />
renamed the <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> at FIU four<br />
years later, and renamed in honor<br />
of donors <strong>Patricia</strong> & <strong>Phillip</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> in<br />
2003.) Couper’s focus was securing<br />
exhibitions of work by major <strong>art</strong>ists,<br />
while building a teaching arm for the<br />
<strong>art</strong> dep<strong>art</strong>ment.<br />
Although his mission was also<br />
to develop a solid link to the <strong>art</strong><br />
dep<strong>art</strong>ment, “the museum was never<br />
exclusively designed conceptually to<br />
be a student exhibition place,” Couper<br />
said. “I insisted there be a programmatic<br />
link between the museum and the<br />
dep<strong>art</strong>ment. It’s a teaching component<br />
in that sense and an educational<br />
component in a larger sense. It’s<br />
a critical element to the whole <strong>art</strong><br />
experience at FIU.”<br />
Carol Damian, director and chief curator<br />
at the <strong>Frost</strong> and former chairperson of<br />
the School of <strong>Art</strong> and <strong>Art</strong> History, credits<br />
Couper with much more.<br />
“It was Jim Couper who had the<br />
original vision to create a museum that<br />
would also serve as an introduction<br />
to a professional career in the <strong>art</strong>s,”<br />
she said. “Students could see <strong>art</strong>,<br />
study techniques, talk to <strong>art</strong>ists and<br />
understand the entire gallery process,<br />
things not readily available to our<br />
students in South <strong>Florida</strong>. <strong>The</strong>y could<br />
p<strong>art</strong>icipate in the entire experience<br />
of being an <strong>art</strong>ist. It was really the<br />
beginning of our very successful BFA<br />
and MFA programs that prepare<br />
students as <strong>art</strong>ists and as qualified<br />
members of the <strong>art</strong> <strong>world</strong>.”<br />
Successful <strong>art</strong>ist Luisa Basnuevo was<br />
Couper’s student. His instruction and<br />

mentoring helped her to overcome her<br />
shyness and fear as an <strong>art</strong>ist. An early<br />
graduate of FIU’s Bachelor of Fine <strong>Art</strong>s<br />
Program, Basnuevo went on to receive<br />
her Master of Fine <strong>Art</strong>s degree from Yale<br />
University. Her exhibition Simulacra<br />
and Essence: <strong>The</strong> Paintings of Luisa<br />
Basnuevo, with Couper as curator, is the<br />
first to hang in the new museum. <strong>The</strong><br />
show is on view in the Betty Laird Perry<br />
Student Gallery.<br />
“He has a good way of talking<br />
about a student’s work without<br />
harshness…and telling you<br />
how you can improve the work,”<br />
BASNUEVO said.<br />
A native of Atlanta, Couper moved<br />
to <strong>Florida</strong> to attend <strong>Florida</strong> State<br />
University where he majored in<br />
painting. He came to Miami in 1963 to<br />
begin his teaching career in Humanities<br />
at the University of Miami. He taught<br />
p<strong>art</strong>-time at Miami-Dade Community<br />
College and was <strong>art</strong>ist in residence at<br />
the former Miami <strong>Art</strong> Center.<br />
When FIU opened its doors in 1972,<br />
Couper was hired as a painting professor<br />
by the founder of the university’s <strong>art</strong><br />
dep<strong>art</strong>ment, Frank Wyroba, who knew<br />
of Couper’s success as a teacher. Couper<br />
felt extremely fortunate to land the job.<br />
“A lot of <strong>art</strong>ists wanted that position.<br />
FIU was a hot new place,” Couper said.<br />
<strong>Museum</strong> founder Jim Couper, Director Carol Damian<br />
and Luisa Basnuevo enjoy the moment after the<br />
installation of Basnuevo’s exhibition, Simulacra and<br />
Essence: <strong>The</strong> Paintings of Luisa Basnuevo. <strong>The</strong><br />
exhibition, curated by Couper, was the first to hang in<br />
the new museum building.<br />
“I was the lucky one.”<br />
During the interview, Wyroba asked<br />
Couper if he would be willing to<br />
establish the museum and assume the<br />
directorship. Couper agreed.<br />
When Couper signed on, FIU’s total<br />
enrollment was 5,000 students, and<br />
the campus had only one building, the<br />
Primera Casa or PC building. FIU was<br />
still a two-year college using trailers for<br />
classrooms.<br />
“Despite the absence of infrastructure,<br />
there was a great deal of excitement<br />
about what the university and the <strong>art</strong><br />
dep<strong>art</strong>ment could become, Couper said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Visual <strong>Art</strong>s Gallery found a home<br />
on the first floor of the Primera Casa<br />
building, PC 112, where the museum<br />
remained until May 2008.<br />
Couper’s first exhibition, Contemporary<br />
Latin American Drawings, included<br />
work by such internationally known<br />
<strong>art</strong>ists as Fernando Botero and Claudio<br />
Bravo. This important show set the<br />
standard for the gallery. Three years<br />
after its opening, the museum was up<br />
and running with both cutting edge<br />
exhibitions and the clearly defined<br />
role as an educational component for<br />
the <strong>art</strong> dep<strong>art</strong>ment that Couper had<br />
envisioned. For him, it was time to go.<br />
“My he<strong>art</strong> was in my creative work and<br />
in the teaching profession,” he said.<br />
Couper supported the choice of Dahlia<br />
Morgan as his successor, ushering in a new<br />
era of success that furthered the operations<br />
and mission he had set in place.<br />
As the <strong>Frost</strong> debuts its new building<br />
and major exhibitions including Modern<br />
Masters from the Smithsonian American<br />
<strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, Couper is gratified, but<br />
hardly on the sidelines. He is still<br />
painting and curating.<br />
‘It’s the finest university museum<br />
in the state, and one of the best in<br />
the country…” Couper said.<br />
“It’s a very satisfying moment for me to<br />
see what is happening today – and to<br />
have played a role in that.”<br />

DAHLIA MORGAN:<br />
PORTRAIT<br />
OF A LIFE<br />
IN ART<br />
Before there was <strong>Art</strong> Basel Miami Beach, the Wynwood <strong>art</strong><br />
district or the countless other venues that bring <strong>art</strong> to Miami,<br />
there was Dahlia Morgan. When people in Miami’s <strong>art</strong> community<br />
think of the <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> at FIU, they inevitably think of<br />
her. For nearly 30 years, Morgan infused the <strong>Frost</strong> with<br />
her style and flair as a trail-blazing <strong>art</strong> maven, and in the<br />
process became a local <strong>art</strong> institution in her own right.<br />
As visitors and members of the <strong>Frost</strong><br />
explore its new building, they will find<br />
the Dahlia Morgan Members’ Lounge,<br />
a tranquil space overlooking the pond at<br />
the rear of the building and the campus<br />
beyond – a tribute to the woman who<br />
took a small university gallery and<br />
developed one of South <strong>Florida</strong>’s best<br />
museums. It is a fitting tribute, given<br />
Morgan’s commitment to <strong>Frost</strong> members<br />
and to building a loyal membership base<br />
over the years.<br />
“A museum’s strength lies in its members<br />
– their faith in its leadership and belief<br />
in what’s possible,” said Carol Damian,<br />
director and chief curator of the <strong>Frost</strong>.<br />
“Dahlia understood that.”<br />
Morgan’s passion for <strong>art</strong>, characteristic<br />
drive and zeal made her the top choice to<br />
lead the <strong>Frost</strong> when founder Jim Couper<br />
decided to return to teaching in 1980.<br />
“Dahlia was the right person at the right<br />
time,” Couper said.<br />
Four years after Morgan became director,<br />
the original gallery space had evolved<br />
from the Visual <strong>Art</strong>s Gallery to the <strong>Art</strong><br />
<strong>Museum</strong> at FIU. For long-time members<br />
of the gallery, it was not just the cuttingedge<br />
exhibitions Morgan brought to<br />
Miami, but her passion and excitement<br />
that first attracted them to a small gallery<br />
located in what was then viewed as the<br />
hinterlands of the county.<br />
“Before you knew it you were talking to<br />
people and telling them to join,” said<br />
Connoisseur member and long-time<br />
friend, Lois Rukeyser. “She made the<br />
membership grow to an unbelievable<br />
amount of people who followed her.”<br />
Rukeyser believes that member loyalty<br />
to Morgan and to the institution over<br />
so many years reveals the most about<br />
Dahlia’s work as director.<br />
“You stay because you feel the dedication<br />
in what you’re getting back,” she said.<br />
“That should tell you something.”<br />

Morgan remembers that the first<br />
members of the museum were actually<br />
p<strong>art</strong> of a group of friends and <strong>art</strong><br />
enthusiasts who were attracted to the<br />
exhibitions and speakers.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y came to me and said we want<br />
to establish a Friends group for the<br />
museum,” she said. <strong>The</strong>y held an<br />
informal reception and the museum’s<br />
membership base was born.<br />
“It was an adventure,” Morgan<br />
says of her years as director.<br />
“You had to be beyond<br />
entrepreneurial… I had three<br />
jobs – director, chief curator<br />
and fundraiser.”<br />
“We had a great vision as a group,”<br />
she says of her staff. “We were a tiny<br />
band of loyal and determined people for<br />
many years.”<br />
Morgan sought and received museum<br />
accreditation from the American<br />
Association of <strong>Museum</strong>s (AAM) in<br />
1999. Just two years later, in 2001, at<br />
her urging, the entire university signed<br />
an agreement with the Smithsonian<br />
Institution that provides use of<br />
Smithsonian resources and institutions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> affiliation between the two was the<br />
first of its kind in the United States.<br />
Under her direction, the museum has<br />
given Miami more than 200 exhibitions<br />
attracting varied audiences and respect<br />
from local and international critics.<br />
Exhibitions of work by Alfred Stieglitz,<br />
Marcel Duchamp, Louise Bourgeois,<br />
and others which at that time were only<br />
presented in New York and Europe, were<br />
a triumph for Morgan and the museum<br />
at FIU. In addition, the museum was<br />
one of the first to highlight the works of<br />
young Latin American <strong>art</strong>ists including<br />
Agustin Fernandez, at a time when they<br />
were just beginning to be well known.<br />
<strong>The</strong> museum garnered recognition<br />
with its important exhibitions as well<br />
as its programs.<br />
With the Steven & Dorothea Green<br />
Critics’ Lecture Series, Morgan brought<br />
to South <strong>Florida</strong> some of the best<br />
and brightest in the <strong>art</strong> <strong>world</strong>. This<br />
series has introduced Miami to such<br />
distinguished lecturers as Michael<br />
Graves, Philippe de Montebello, Claes<br />
Oldenburg, George Segal, Robert<br />
Hughes and many other famed <strong>art</strong>ists,<br />
museum curators, scholars and critics.<br />
“You had to get there early or you wouldn’t<br />
get a seat,” Rukeyser said. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />
free to anyone in the city, and they were<br />
outstanding. Tom Wolfe, <strong>Art</strong> Spiegelman<br />
John Richardson…Where would you ever<br />
get an opportunity to do that? In New<br />
York you have to pay for everything.”<br />
Not only did Morgan bring important<br />
critics and <strong>art</strong> <strong>world</strong> luminaries to the<br />
<strong>Frost</strong>, she became a popular speaker with<br />
her own lecture series, the Dahlia Morgan<br />
Lecture Series, for members. <strong>The</strong> series<br />
gave members a chance to increase their<br />
knowledge of <strong>art</strong> and <strong>art</strong> history.<br />
“Dahlia has been my teacher and my<br />
mentor,” said <strong>Patricia</strong> Strawgate, a<br />
Connoisseur and one of the first museum<br />
members. “I have learned more from<br />
Dahlia than from all my humanities<br />
classes in college.”<br />
However, despite all of these<br />
accomplishments the museum lacked<br />
the space to exhibit larger pieces and<br />
shows and to store its growing permanent<br />
collection. Morgan’s dream was to build a<br />
stand-alone museum, and she worked to<br />
raise the necessary funding. A gift from<br />
<strong>Patricia</strong> and <strong>Phillip</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> set the project<br />
on its way. In 2003, the museum was<br />
renamed in their honor, and construction<br />
began in 2004.<br />
“It was her vision, her input<br />
into every aspect of its<br />
design and construction,<br />
and her extraordinary gift<br />
for convincing others to get<br />
involved and give substantial<br />
donations,” Damian said.<br />
“Dahlia Morgan is our Director Emerita,”<br />
Damian added, “but that honorary title<br />
really does not do justice to describe her<br />
years of work as director that culminated<br />
in this amazing building. ”<br />

Robert Adanto’s provocative film<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rising Tide was screened at<br />
the <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> October<br />
22nd, and on October 24th,<br />
Adanto talked about the making<br />
of the film at the Green Library<br />
auditorium. He appeared as the<br />
first speaker of the season for the<br />
<strong>Frost</strong>’s Steven & Dorothea Green<br />
Critics’ Lecture Series.<br />
<strong>The</strong> film navigates the complex<br />
cultural, political and economic<br />
landscape <strong>art</strong>ists face in the<br />
newly awakening China. <strong>The</strong><br />
Rising Tide investigates China’s<br />
meteoric march toward the<br />
future through some of its most<br />
talented emerging <strong>art</strong>ists, whose<br />
work reflects the country’s rising<br />
influence as an economic,<br />
political and cultural force in<br />
the global arena.<br />
Adanto said he chose China’s<br />
visual <strong>art</strong>ists to tell the story of<br />
China’s rise, because “I knew I<br />
needed to find individuals whose<br />
lives had been transformed by this<br />
great social stirring.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re was this epic tale<br />
unfolding in this enigmatic land<br />
of contradictions… and it was<br />
escaping the notice of most<br />
Westerners,” Adanto said.<br />
“I wanted to change that.”<br />

TARGET SPONSORS POPULAr FROST SERIES<br />
Target has teamed up with the <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> in sponsoring the<br />
museum’s popular educational series Wednesday After Hours. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong><br />
and Target will kick off the new Target Wednesday After Hours on January<br />
7th, at 7pm. <strong>The</strong> series, which will take place on the first Wednesday<br />
evening of every month, is designed to complement the museum’s<br />
exhibitions with events including music and dance performances, films,<br />
lectures, panel discussions, poetry slams and performance <strong>art</strong>. All of the<br />
events are free and open to the public.<br />
One of the <strong>Frost</strong>’s core community outreach programs, the series aims to<br />
engage FIU students and faculty and the local community in a multifaceted<br />
approach to the <strong>art</strong>s, said Carol Damian, director and chief curator.<br />
“Target shares our commitment to increasing access to the <strong>art</strong>s, and this<br />
p<strong>art</strong>nership is an ideal way to foster an <strong>art</strong>istic culture on campus and in<br />
the community.”<br />
Target also signed on to help the <strong>Frost</strong> celebrate the opening of its new<br />
building by sponsoring a barbecue for Student Day at the new museum,<br />
Wednesday, December 3rd.<br />
“We are grateful for Target’s generous commitment to sponsor the 2009<br />
series as well as the student celebration during this important week in our<br />
history,” Damian said.<br />
Through Target Wednesday After Hours, the <strong>Frost</strong> would like to inspire<br />
an integrated approach to the <strong>art</strong>s among students and members of the<br />

Breakfast in the Park<br />
FEATURES JOEL SHAPIRO<br />
<strong>The</strong> sixth annual Breakfast in the Park, the <strong>Frost</strong>’s<br />
signature event during <strong>Art</strong> Basel Miami Beach, features<br />
renowned modernist sculptor Joel Shapiro December<br />
7th. This year, the event will culminate more than a<br />
week of opening events for the new <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>,<br />
beginning November 29th. Visitors can also see<br />
two pieces of Shapiro’s work on loan from the Pace<br />
Wildenstein Gallery in New York City. <strong>The</strong> pieces are on<br />
display in the Sculpture Park.<br />
Breakfast in the Park has become a destination for hundreds of visitors to<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Basel Miami Beach each year. <strong>The</strong>y enjoy an elegant complimentary<br />
outdoor breakfast, a lecture by an acclaimed sculptor, tours of the<br />
Sculpture Park and a look at current exhibitions at the museum.<br />
In Shapiro’s elegant works, human moods and movement are reduced to a<br />
geometric essence that is open to the viewer’s perception and speculation.<br />
As you walk around each sculpture, the changing vantage points offer<br />
views of the work that look very different.<br />
Since his first one-person exhibition in 1970, Shapiro’s work has been<br />
the subject of more than 100 solo exhibitions and retrospectives. His<br />
sculptures have been regularly included in prestigious group exhibitions<br />
such as the Whitney Biennial, Documenta in Germany and the Venice<br />
Biennale. Commissions and publicly sited sculptures by Shapiro are<br />
located in major Asian, European and North American cities including<br />
the United States Holocaust Memorial <strong>Museum</strong> in Washington and<br />
a major plaza in the city of Orleans, France. His work is also in more<br />
than 80 public collections including <strong>The</strong> Metropolitan <strong>Museum</strong> of <strong>Art</strong>,<br />
Hirshhorn <strong>Museum</strong> and Sculpture Garden, Los Angeles County <strong>Museum</strong><br />
of <strong>Art</strong>, Centre Georges Pompidou, Tate Gallery, National Gallery of <strong>Art</strong>,<br />
Walker <strong>Art</strong> Center and Philadelphia <strong>Museum</strong> of <strong>Art</strong>.<br />
He lives and works in New York City.<br />

EDUCATION<br />
FROST IS NEW HOME OF<br />
MUSEUM STUDIES PROGRAM<br />
FIU’s <strong>Museum</strong> Studies program, formerly offered by the School of <strong>Art</strong> and <strong>Art</strong><br />
History, is now p<strong>art</strong> of the new <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>. With the completion of the<br />
new museum building, the program moved to the <strong>Frost</strong> this past summer.<br />
FIU’s <strong>Museum</strong> Studies certificate is an 18-credit-hour program intended to<br />
prepare students for professional employment in museums and historical sites.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program is available to students who already hold a B.A. degree. Courses are<br />
offered at FIU’s University Park campus, and the graduate certificate is awarded<br />
by the <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>. Application forms for the <strong>Museum</strong> Studies program<br />
are available on frost<strong>art</strong>museum.org.<br />

KENAN-FLAGLER<br />
DISCOVERY GALLERY<br />
COMING IN SPRING 2009...<br />
A centerpiece of the new <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong><br />
<strong>Museum</strong>, the Kenan-Flagler Family<br />
Discovery Gallery will welcome<br />
families, students and guests with<br />
<strong>art</strong> activities designed to educate<br />
and entertain children. A generous<br />
gift of the William R. Kenan Jr.<br />
Charitable Trust, this interactive<br />
gallery is grounded in the belief<br />
that hands-on <strong>art</strong> activities help<br />
children learn.<br />
Children will explore interactive<br />
stations where they can use a<br />
touch screen monitor to create a<br />
self portrait, design patterns using<br />
the theory of positive and negative<br />
space, experience the printmaking<br />
process through a series of<br />
rubbings on low relief metal<br />
shapes and manipulate images<br />
on a computer to create their own<br />
works of <strong>art</strong>. Some activities will<br />
encourage individual exploration,<br />
while others will require group<br />
interaction. Some will encourage<br />
physical activity and others quiet<br />
contemplation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> gallery will add a new dimension<br />
to the museum visit, and provide a<br />
powerful experience for parents and<br />
children working together.<br />

ART OF GIVING<br />
THE FROST ART MUSEUM GALLERIES<br />
<strong>Frost</strong> Founders Use Galleries as <strong>The</strong>ir Canvas<br />
I would like to express my sincerest thanks to the donors of the named spaces, who not only<br />
gave their time and financial resources, but great thought to endowing these beautiful galleries<br />
with a greater meaning and purpose beyond just building materials.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir contributions support <strong>art</strong> education, student and emerging <strong>art</strong>ists and greater awareness<br />
of the healing <strong>art</strong>s and the state of the environment. Some donors wanted to honor the<br />
commitment and legacy of our Director Emerita Dahlia Morgan, while others wanted to provide<br />
classrooms and state-of-the-<strong>art</strong> technology.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se special individuals are all <strong>Frost</strong> Founders who chose to use their galleries as a<br />
canvas to help create a better community, and we salute them.<br />

We know that exposure to <strong>art</strong> and <strong>art</strong> education challenges and motivates<br />
children. <strong>The</strong> Kenan-Flagler Family Discovery Gallery offers children the<br />
chance to create their own exhibitions. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> also offers <strong>Art</strong> Sm<strong>art</strong>, a<br />
program designed for 5th graders. It includes a tour of the Sculpture Park<br />
at FIU and engaging <strong>art</strong> activities. <strong>Art</strong> Sm<strong>art</strong>: Figures, a spin-off of the<br />
original, was inspired by the <strong>Frost</strong> exhibition, Figurative <strong>Art</strong> Past and Present:<br />
Highlights from the Permanent Collection. Students receive a tour of the<br />
exhibition and p<strong>art</strong>icipate in a collaborative learning <strong>art</strong> activity. <strong>The</strong> program<br />
takes students on a journey through time and place as they learn about<br />
history, cultures and customs through <strong>art</strong>work from around the globe.<br />
You get an excellent return on<br />
your investment.<br />
Your support is a gift to you and your community. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Frost</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> is<br />
the only museum in South <strong>Florida</strong> that charges no admission. Why is this<br />
important? People in our community who might not have access to an <strong>art</strong><br />
museum – p<strong>art</strong>icularly young people – can visit and learn at no cost.
