This image shows a yellowed, aged newspaper clipping mounted on a light brown paper document, likely from the late 1970s. The clipping consists of several articles from different newspapers, all related to art news from 1976, with a focus on the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University.
The most prominent article, from the Harvard Independent (September 20, 1976), is titled “Paintings Stolen from Bok”. It reports on the theft of six artworks from the residence of President Bok. The article features two black-and-white reproductions of the stolen paintings by French Impressionist Eugene Boudin: “Le Port d’Anvers, vue la tete” (top) and “Un Canal a Abbeville (lower)”. Both are valued at $100,000 each. It also mentions the theft of an American landscape by John Twachtman and a 17th-century Dutch work by Gerrit Beckheyde, both owned and self-insured by the Fogg Museum.
To the right, two articles are clipped from the Boston Globe:
Dated September 30, 1976, the headline reads: “Fogg to show $3m ‘Juno’”. This article details the acquisition of the Rembrandt masterpiece “Juno” by Dr. Armand Hammer, who paid a record $3.25 million for it. The painting, described as a "striking resemblance" to Rembrandt’s wife, was to be loaned to the Fogg Art Museum for three months before going on permanent display in Los Angeles. The article includes a small photo of Dr. Hammer viewing the painting, and a reproduction of the portrait of “Juno” itself. It also explains the painting’s history, including its time in storage during WWII and its prior ownership by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
(Note: The date on the clipping says September 30, 1976, but the article mentions it went on display in New York’s Metropolitan Museum before being loaned to Harvard, which suggests the article’s content may slightly predate this date, or is reporting on the loan arrangement.)
Dated October 17, 1976, this is an advertisement for an exhibition at the Art Gallery (likely the Fogg Art Museum or a related venue). It announces the opening of “AMERICA 1976”, a Bicentennial exhibit sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Fogg Art Museum, curated by John Arthur. The exhibit runs from October 19 to December 7, with an opening reception on October 19 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. It is described as an exhibit of “Source material and related works.”
The overall impression is of a scrapbook page documenting notable art events of 1976, specifically the high-profile theft of paintings from a university president’s home and the Fogg Museum’s acquisition and exhibition of a major Rembrandt painting, along with the museum’s own Bicentennial exhibition. The page is bound with two binder holes visible on the right edge.
