This image shows a single page from a press clipping scrapbook, filled with several articles and newspaper cutouts meticulously glued onto aged, tan-colored paper. The scrapbook page appears to be from the summer of 1963, with all clippings dated between June and July of that year.
The articles focus on art, artists, and cultural events. They appear to come from various regional and national newspapers across the United States, as well as one from the UK.
Here’s a breakdown of the main articles visible:
Top Left (Oklahoma City Times, July 2, 1963): This lengthy article is titled “Change at Art Center” and reports on a new era for the Oklahoma Art Center, including the election of Frank J. Hightower as president and the appointment of Joseph Fulton as assistant director. It discusses the challenges of developing the center into a vital cultural institution.
Top Center (Sunday Telegram, Portland, Me., July 14, 1963): A small clipping announces a free lecture by James Harithas, curator at the Phoenix Art Museum, titled “New Directions in European and American Paintings,” to be held at the Fogg Museum, Harvard University.
Top Right (Courier-Gazette, Rockland, Maine, July 18, 1963): This article, “ANDREW WYETH: DOWNMASTER,” is the longest piece on the page. It reports on a major exhibition of Andrew Wyeth’s work at the William A. Farnsworth Art Museum. It discusses the significance of Wyeth in the art world, details an accompanying loan exhibition titled “Andrew Wyeth Dry Brush and Pencil Drawings” from the Fogg Museum, and provides biographical notes on Wyeth’s connection to Maine, his honorary citizenship, and his relationship with his father, N.C. Wyeth.
Middle Left (Peterborough Citizen & Advertiser, UK, July 23, 1963): A small blue-boxed clipping from the “International Press-Cutting Bureau” highlights “THE PAPER OF QUALITY.”
Middle Left, Below the UK clipping (Unknown source, July 23, 1963): A small article titled “Historic needlework is stolen” reports on the theft of a 17th-century royal coat of arms from Little Oighton Church in Yorkshire, noting its value and its prior display at the British Museum and Harvard University.
Bottom Right (Western Press Clipping Exchange, Minneapolis, Minn., July 29, 1963): This is a small, yellowed clipping that appears to report on the arrival of a large mural by Mexican-American artist Mario Rueda at Harvard University. The text is partially obscured but mentions the mural “which will be installed at Harvard University, is being shipped to this same place in the Guggenheim museum, New York city.”
The scrapbook page is numbered “84” in the top left corner. Handwritten notes in red and black ink, including circled dates and the surname “Foss,” are scrawled over several clippings, suggesting the collector was organizing or annotating their collection, possibly tracking the artist or subject “Foss” who may have been related to these art events or publications. The overall impression is of a carefully curated collection of press materials documenting a specific period in American art history, with particular attention to figures like Andrew Wyeth and institutions like the Oklahoma Art Center and Fogg Museum.
