Museums are often considered places where the art of the past is cared for, 

studied, and displayed, but as supporters of the Atheneum, we know that mu- 

seums are also living entities, filled with vibrancy, that must evolve and grow 

as the communities around them change. 

This evolution was most evident in the museum’s exciting exhibition 

program. Designed to showcase the wealth of masterpieces in the Wadsworth 

Atheneum’s permanent collection, our exhibitions attracted critical acclaim 

and increased visitation at a time when almost half of the museum was closed 

for renovation. While closed galleries meant less space, the initiation of our 

long-awaited renovation project was an important first step towards reclaim- 

ing thousands of square feet and improving the overall visitor experience. 

The reinvigoration of our innovative MATRIX series brought two 

young artists from around the world to the museum and transformed our 

gallery spaces—first with dizzying beams of light emitted from Kitty Kraus’ 

mirrored light boxes, followed by a graffiti covered bathroom and a floor of 

paper back books for Justin Lowe’s Werewolf Karaoke installation. 

Quality acquisitions across multiple departments and media—includ- 

ing toothpicks—enhanced the permanent collection and added depth to our 

contemporary holdings. Tangible momentum was achieved in the area of com- 

munity engagement, bolstered by strong funding support, which is a tribute 

to the perceived value of the museum’s new programs. Lastly, the museum’s 

progress was heralded locally, nationally and internationally through a sig- 

nificant increase in media attention that bolstered awareness, and enhanced 

the museum’s already strong reputation. 

Challenges existed as well, the most complex of which was the con- 

tinued struggle to raise funds in an environment of economic uncertainty and 

unease, a challenge shared by most not-for-profit organizations. Our Atheneum 

family once again showed its loyalty and passion for our mission by supporting 

the museum, resulting in the achievement of our budgetary goals for the third 

year in a row.

To forcefully address this challenge and chart a more certain eco- 

nomic course and enduring vision for the museum over the next decade, the 

museum initiated a strategic planning process. This process affords us the op- 

portunity to pause and consider not only who we are, but how we wish to 

evolve both now and generations from now. 

Most importantly, the strategic planning process is designed to move 

us forward, to acknowledge our rich history, while simultaneously focusing on 

an even brighter future. The opportunity to create the Wadsworth Atheneum 

that we want is in our hands. As we continue the process during the next fiscal 

year, I look forward to gathering your input and ideas, and to harnessing your 

energy and support as we begin down a new, but still vibrant path. 

Thank you for your generous support during 2010. Your gifts of time 

and talent, and unwavering financial support have advanced the museum and 

sustained our collective mission - for which you have my sincere appreciation.

from the Director 

The Wadsworth Atheneum has made incredible progress this past year. With 

our renovation project well underway, our landscape has been enlivened by 

gigantic cranes and colorful fence scrims announcing that we are renovating, 

innovating, and open to the public. 

Although forty percent of our gallery space was closed for a good part 

of the year, critical acclaim for our artistic program was exceptional, attendance 

at our special events reached a new high, and overall attendance experienced a 

slight increase. 

In October, the museum launched Rembrandt’s People, the first exhibition 

in our much anticipated Masterpiece Series. The exhibition was comprised 

of nine of the artist’s most expressive portraits, marking the first time 

any authentic Rembrandt painting had been displayed in Hartford in over 

seventy years! Reunited Masterpieces: From Adam & Eve to George & Martha 

continued the Masterpiece Series, and opened appropriately on Valentines Day. 

The show paired many of our best-known paintings from the permanent collection 

with their long-separated mates, some of which had not been seen 

together in centuries. 

The museum’s artistic program also saw the return of our famed MA- 

TRIX series, which enables us, once again, to exhibit art of the moment. The 

program presented an exciting roster of emerging artists from around the world, 

including Kitty Kraus and Justin Lowe, who both created their first solo museum 

exhibition in our dedicated MATRIX gallery. 

The Wadsworth also made tremendous strides in the area of community 

engagement with the support of a half million dollar grant from the Hartford 

Foundation for Public Giving. This enabled us to launch a number of new 

programs to begin building valuable partnerships with our neighboring organizations 

and schools. Museum on the Move reached more than 300 Hartford 

public school students, and brought our education staff and docents into 

the community to encourage visitation, and the use of the museum as a learning 

laboratory. The museum’s Connections Gallery, a new dedicated space for

interactive exhibitions and collaborations, was inaugurated as a joint effort 

with the American School for the Deaf. 

Significant momentum was achieved in both our Phoenix Art After 

Hours and Last Saturday programs. New partnerships created for events such 

as Noche Caliente led to increased diversity and a thirteen percent rise in attendance 

at Phoenix Art After Hours. The results for our Last Saturday program 

are even more impressive. Free family programming and activities, in 

addition to free admission from 10:00 am –1:00 pm, resulted in a fifty-nine 

percent increase in attendance as compared to the previous year. 

I am optimistic about the coming year; we have an exciting future, filled 

with opportunity, and we have you—our members, supporters, partners, volunteers, 

and colleagues—to thank for it. I am extremely grateful to each of you.

During the past year the Wadsworth Atheneum’s permanent collection was show- 

cased and enhanced, through a stellar exhibition program, and the acquisition of 

major works of art. 

Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art 

Exhibition highlights include Rembrandt’s People, the first in the museum’s 

Masterpiece Series. The exhibition focused on Rembrandt’s powerful figure paintings, 

which are hailed as his greatest artistic achievement. Borrowed from leading muse- 

ums in both America and Canada, and two private collections, Rembrandt’s People 

featured works from throughout the artist’s career depicting a wide variety of 

subjects, including his iconic self-portrait from 1659. 

Reunited Masterpieces: From Adam & Eve to George & Martha continued 

the series, rejoining works from the Atheneum with their often-distant pendants. 

It included paintings of both real and mythological people—the earliest of which, 

in terms of both date and subject, was a set of panels portraying Adam and Eve 

from 1613 by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius. Reunited Masterpieces marked 

the first time this pair had been seen together in almost five centuries. 

The museum also organized American Moderns on Paper: Masterworks 

from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, a groundbreaking new look at the 

diverse directions pursued by modern artists in America. The show was greeted by 

large and enthusiastic crowds at both the Amon Carter Museum of American Art 

in Fort Worth, Texas, and the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, Maine. The 

exhibition will open at the Wadsworth Atheneum during the fall of 2010. 

The Amistad Center for Art & Culture presented High Water Marks: Art & 

Renewal After Katrina, which highlighted the achievements of a range of artists who 

have documented New Orleans’ devastation, and are committed to its recovery. 

In addition to a strong exhibition program, the museum expanded its permanent 

collection through a number of significant acquisitions, including Untitled 

(Toothpicks) by Tara Donovan, Red and Pink Robe by Sean Scully, and The Astronomy 

Lesson of the Duchesse du Maine by François de Troy.

The following pages reflect the names of the numerous individuals, foundations, 

corporations, and volunteers who have contributed in some way to the museum 

over this past year. 

What these lists do not reflect, however, is the full extent of their generosity, 

care and passion, which make the Wadsworth Atheneum a thriving and viable in- 

stitution—accessible to all. 

The gifts recorded below have enabled the museum to offer free admis- 

sions the last Saturday of every month, expand our educational programming, 

and enhance our collection through new acquisitions. But most importantly— 

these gifts have ensured that the Wadsworth Atheneum remains at the forefront 

of art and culture in Hartford and beyond. 

To those listed below and to all of our supporters—named and un- 

named—we express our heartfelt gratitude and thanks.
