A Note from the Editor
Art Matters
Murals, mosaics and statuary grace the
corridors of official Washington. But
thank generous private citizens for art
works in our public galleries. These gifts
of wise and wealthy collectors benefit
museums by the National Mall—the
National Gallery, the Freer and Sackler
galleries with Asian art and the Hirsh-
horn with modern and contemporary.
Yet bequests of art and property also
sustain smaller museums opened long
ago (and named for) prescient individu-
als—the Corcoran Gallery (established
in 1869, perhaps the first museum to
acknowledge American art) and the
Phillips Collection (in 1921, the first
museum of modern art in the U.S.).
In this issue we visit four distinctive
treasure houses—two grand structures
designed for the capital’s 19th-century
landscape and two latter-day museums
envisioned by their architects as show-
places of fine art. The newest (2005) is
the American University Museum at
the Katzen Arts Center, its dramatic,
curved spaces (see page 11) filled this
summer by six exhibitions, all but one
devoted to Washington artists.
Its third-floor show is titled “Washing-
ton Art Matters,” also the name of a new
book chronicling the D.C. art life 1940s-
1980s. The word “matters” factors as a
noun (after all, five decades make for an
©Fredde LieberMAn
encyclopedic display), but it also factors
as a verb. Yes, artists live and work here,
and they make an impact still.
