This image displays a curated archival page, likely from a scrapbook or a press clipping file, meticulously assembled with newspaper clippings, typed memos, and a photograph, all dating from late 1959 to early 1960. The page is bound on the left side with a visible metal spiral binding, suggesting it’s part of a larger collection.
The content centers on the American press reception of the “Sarastro Show,” an art exhibition featuring Indian sculpture that toured major U.S. museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, curated by Dr. Benjamin Rowland.
Key items on the page include:
A black-and-white photograph in the upper left of a standing Buddha statue, identified in the caption as being “on display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.” The photo is credited to “Boston Globe” and is part of a feature by Dr. Rowland discussing the spread of Gandhara Buddhist art from 5th–4th century B.C. It notes the lecture was part of the “National Gallery of Art” series and mentions speaker “Benjamin Rowland.” The clipping is dated Jan 17, 1960, and bears a handwritten signature “Anne Moffett” at the top.
A typed press memo from “AMERICAN Press Clipping Service Inc.” dated Jan 27, 1960, addressed to “Dr. Rowland, Washington, D.C.” It confirms an article was written for the “Sunday” (likely the Sunday Standard-Times, New Bedford, Mass., as seen at top left) concerning the “Evening Star” article about “Indian Art” to be displayed at the National Gallery of Art on January 28, 1960. It also notes the sculpture show will travel to the Boston Museum through February 28.
A typed memo from “Buckles’s Press Clipping Bureau,” dated Nov 28, 1959, from Washington, D.C., notifying Dr. Rowland about his article in The Evening Star titled “Indian Art” appearing Nov 29, 1959, concerning “Gandhara art and sculpture.”
A newspaper clipping titled “Art and Artists: Sarasota Show Rouses Deluge of Criticism,” by Walter Meckel, dated Feb 7, 1960. It features a photo caption “EXAMPLE OF SILVER WORK BY PAUL REVERE” and discusses the critical reception of art shows in different cities, including a scathing review of a Boston Museum show of 100 works of “modernist art” and the “Sarastro Show” of “Classical Collection in the complete art ‘Indigenous to Far East’” that was being displayed in Boston, with a quote from Dr. Rowland defending the art’s historical significance.
A handwritten note in red ink at the bottom right corner reads “Sarastro Show Rouses Deluge of Criticism.” Above it, another clipping from “Sunday Telegraph, WORCESTER, Mass., Circ. 104,500” dated Feb 7, 1960, also notes the Sarastro Show.
