Pennsylvania Academy Has CollabJration of Detroit Institute
of Art in Staging the Academy's 153rd Annual Exhibition Prizes are Announced
The 153rd Annual Exhibition of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fj.ne Arts in Philadelphia, comprised ~)f Comtemporary American Oil Painting and Sculpture, opened there to
the public on January 26 to remain thr')ugh February 23.
This year, for the first time in its long history, the Academy has broken with tradition, and through collab -:lra.t ion with The Detr::Jit l.nst~ tute of Arts, will send the
collection there in its entirety f ·J r showing Mar;ch 18 through April 13.
The Juries which selected this part invited - part juried cJllection were composed of:
Franklin Watkins, chairman, IVan Albright and Wllliam Baziotes (palnting); Oronzi·o
Maldarelli, chairman, Marshall M. Fredericks and, Jose de Rivera (Sculpture). They met
in Detroit, New York City, and Philadelphia, looked at over 3000 pictures arid over
500 pieces of sculpture, and, with the invited work, have assembled 302 items, 52% of
which was juried. Artists represented come from 31 states. Due to the calibre and
variety of work submitted to the Juries, the two institutions believe they have an
exhibition that is not only very catholic, but that is a thorough cross-section of
what is going on today from coast to coast.

Joseph T . Fraser, Jr., Director of the Academy, says that his institution is greatly
pleased with this collaboration with Detroit . Mounting costs of presenting l a rge
exhibitions , of course, have accounted for this shift in Academy Policy. The change,
met with great response from artists and dealers throughout the country . It is his
impression that this is the first ti.me two major museums have combined efforts in
staging a national exhibition of contemporary American work based upon the democratic
employment of professional artists I juri.es, a practice to which the Academy , by
tradition and conviction, has long been committed .
Another fortunate result of this collaboration has been the splendid purchase fund
i t has made available, with works bought in each case going to the permanent collections of the respective institutions. This fund - $20,000 - was provided: $10, 000
by the Academy; $6000 by Detroit; and $LIOOO by the Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia . Purchases will be announced later, but in addition to these, naturally there
will be double opportunity for sales to private individuals and other institutions .
Gallery Talks will be held Thursday afternoons at 2 :30 - Jan. 3C, Harry Rosin
(SCUlptor); Feb. 6, Dorothy Grafly (critic); Feb. 13, Hobson Pittman (painter); Feb .
20 , Dr. Robert Wallcer (art historian) .
Subscription Lectures are scheduled for Tuesday evenings at 8 :30 - Feb . 4, Hobson
Pittman; Feb. 11, Leonid; Feb. 18, Robert Motherwell (all painters) .
Concerts will take place Friday evenings at 8:30 - Jan. 31, Lorne Munroe , cellist
and Vla dimir Sokoloff, pianist; Feb . l~· , Vladimir and Eleanor Sokoloff, pianists .
Galleries open weekdays (except Mondays) 10 to 5; Sundays and holidays 1 to 5; and
the evenings listed above from 7:30. Admission is free at all times except for the
subscription lectures.

Annual Fellowship Exhibition
~ens
at Academy
The Annual Exhibition of the Fellowship (alumni) of The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts, opened last night in the Academy's galleries vrith a private view; to
remain through Sunday, April 6. It includes 198 '-TOrIes - 110 oils, 63 water colors
and graphics, and 25 sculptures - by professional artists who, during their student
days, had part or all of their art training in the Academy's schools.
In recent years special efforts have been made to bring into these exhibitions the
work of those alumni living away from the greater Philadelplua area who have made
important national or international reputations. Consequently they have grown in
importance. Horl~ in this collection includes all approachlis to art from the most
academic to the most advanced, with some 10 states represented. In the main, the
work was juried but a limited amount was invited.
The juries which chose the work include: Morris Blackburn, Fran Lachman and Albert
Serwazi (for oils); Elizabeth Coyne, Marcella Klein, and Raymond Spiller (for water
colors and graphics); Frank Gasparro and Dexter Jones (for sculptur~).

String Virtuosi Closes Current Concert Series
Philadelphia String Virtuosi, Louis Vyner, conductor, will bring the current
season's series at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts to a close with a
concert on Friday evening, March 21st, at 8:30.
The group is seldom heard in public because, as first desk players of the Philadelphia Orchestra, they are involved in a very heavy schedule.
Therefore, it is with
particular pleasure that the Academy presents them.
Jacob Krachmalnick, concertmaster of this group as well as of the Philadelphia
Orchestra, will be joined by Robert Cole, flutist, and Vladimir Sokoloff, pianist, in
presenting the Brandenburg Concerto, No.5, in D major, scored for these solo instruments with string orchestra accompaniment.
Works by Victoria, Sammartini, Geminiani,
Mennini, Handel, Tenaglia, Paradis, Zhelobinsky and Strauss complete the program.
Mr. Vyner, the conductor, holds a similar post with the Lancaster, Main Line,
Wissahickon Valley, and tJ.atinee: Musical Club Symphonies; is associate conductor of
the Reading Symphony, and head of the orchestra department of the Philadelphia
Musical Academy.
The annual exhibition of the Academy's Fellowship (alumni) - painting,
sculpture, and graphics - will be current at the time.
This series of concerts
ha~
been made available to the public without cost
through the Academy, the Fredric R. Mann Foundation, and the Recording Industries'
Trust Funds in cooperation with Local 77, American Federation of Musicians.
Doors open at 7;30.

N ew Evening School Program at Pennsylvania Academy
In addition to regular painting and drawing classes for those
interested in furtherin g their efforts under professional
criticism the evening school has many other unusual advantages
The only place in the city where students may use etching and
lithograph pre$ses with expert instruction in these media as well as
other graphic media meet here under Morris Blackburn. Students may
also carryon their own investigations of graphic media.
Students in the scul pture classes in stone and wood carving as well as
clay modeling under the direction of bteve Lewis come from Reading,
~ilmington, and the Jersey suburban towns to learn and perfect their
techniques.
For the less advanced students there is a class in drawing and painting
in various media and forms of crea Give inter pretation of subject
matter.
Students in the evening classes h~ve the unusual opportunity of
studying side by side with the day students all of whom are
pursuing a full time period of training for professional careers
in painting and scul :) ture - these students c/ome from the far
corners of the earth - Burma, Thail a nd, Pakistan, Japan, Iran and
Saskatchewan, Canada.

Chamber Music Concerts to Resume at the Pennsylvania Academy
Jaime Laredo, violinist, and Vladimir Sokoloff, pianist, will open the tenth
consecutive annual series of chamber music concerts in the galleries of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts on Friday evening, November 7th, at 8:30 (doors open
at 7:30), with a sonata recital featuring the following works:
Sonata, No.3, in E major - Bach
Sonata, Opus 47 (Kreutzer) - Beethoven
Sonata in G minor - Debussy
Sonata in D minor - Brahms
Mr. Sokoloff needs no introduction to our audiences.
Not only has he been
music director of the series for nine years, but he has played in every concert
during that period.
This, however, will be the first appearance in the series for young Jaime Laredo.
He was born in Bolivia in 1941 of a family of music lovers.
a violin for Christmas.
At 6 years he was given
He immediately, without aids, tuned it to concert pitch.
The next year (1948) he was taken to San Francisco for training, and in 1954 on to
Cleveland to work with Josef Gingold.
Later that year he came to The Curtis lnsti-
tute of Music, on the advice of Mr. Gingold, to study with Ivan Galamian.
When but 8 years old, Jaime gave a full recital in California, at 11 he was
soloist with the San Francisco Symphony; at 14 he again played complete recitals in
Washington, D.C. and Cleveland, Ohio; in 1956 he completed a ten-concert tour through
Peru, Bolivia, and Puerto Rico; and in 1957 appeared as soloist with the Spokane
Symphony.
We quote the following comments:
"The complete master of the violin." - Washington Star
"I consider him one of the great hopes among young violinists." George Szell in Time Magazine
"His playing has the freshness of his youth and the maturity of an
experienced artist." - El Comercio, Lima, Peru
The Academy is able to make these programs free to the public through collaboration of the Recording Industries' Trust Funds, in cooperation with Local 77, American
Federation of Musicians; and the Fredric R. Mann Foundation.

Acade!l Staging Philadelphia Collectors' Exhibition
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has opened an exhibition that should
have special appeal to those living in or suburban to Philadelphia:
20th Century American Painting and Sculpture
fram Philadelphia Private Collections
It includes 417 paintings and §! sculptures by
!22 artists,
lent by the follow-
ing 22 Philadelphia collectors, from the treasures that adorn their homes:
Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Breyer, Jr.
Mr. and Mrs"" James P. Magill
Mr. and Mrs. David Bortin
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Morris
Mr. and Mrs. David J. Grossman
Dr. and Mrs. Matthew T. Moore
The Ingersoll Collection Mr. and Mrs. Meyer P. Potamkin
Mr. and Mrs. R. sturgis Ingersoll
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Speiser
Miss Anna Warren Ingersoll
The Beale Collection Mrs. Phebe Ingersoll Benson
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard T. Beale
Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Ingersoll
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred W. Putnam
Mr. and Mrs. George F. Ingersoll
Mr. and Mrs. Evan Randolph, Jr.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Ingersoll, Jr. Mrs. Morris Wenger
The Michael and Sonia Watter Collection
Mr. and Mrs. John F. LeWis, Jr.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Gates Lloyd
Mrs. John Wintersteen
The work in the show is largely representational, although one entire collection
and some works fram other lenders are abstractions.
this more than half of the present century.
It also covers all periods in
Same of the artists are no longer living,
but most of them are.
This exhibition naturally does not pretend to represent all of the distinguished
private art collections for which our City is well known, the problem of space alone
making that impossible.
Nor, in any case, is the Academy showing an entire private
collectionj ofttimes only a limited part is included.
But each collection is being
shown as an entity, and the show consumes the entire gallery space.
It is the hope of both the Academy and the collectors that, by their examples as
shown here now, they may encourage others to begin collections and thus experience a
similar enrichment of their lives, in addition to providing encouragement and support
to the creative artist.
The exhibition remains through Sunday, November 30.
Galleries are open Tuesdays through Saturdays 10 to 5; Sundays 1 to 5i
Friday evening, November 7, from 7:30 to 10, when a chamber music concert
will be held.
Closed Mondays and Thanksgiving Day.
Admission is
~
at all times.

Carlton
Cool~,
Recita~
violist, and Vladimir Sokoloff, pianist, two of Philadelphia's
most distinguished musicians will be heard in recital on Friday evening, December 5,
at 8:30 at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
Three Fantasias, Opus 73 - Schumann
Sonata (1921) - Honegger
Their program will include:
Sonata in E flat - Brahms
Suite (1919) - Bloch
Mr. Cooley is solo violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, a post he held in
earlier years first with the Cleveland Orchestra, and later with the NBC Symphony
under Arturo Toscanini.
Before joining the Cleveland ensemble, Cooley was briefly a member of the violin
section of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and at the age of 21 was awarded the Stokowski
Medal for his work with that instrument.
In Cleveland, first he was assistant con-
certmaster, but gave that position up to head the viola section.
He has been a viola soloist with the Philadelphia, Cleveland, and NBC orchestras, and was a member of both the Cleveland and the NBC string quartets.
A composer
of reputation, one of his works "Caponsacchl" was performed by the Philadelphians
under Ormandy's direction in February 1943.
In the main, his other works are for
strings or full orchestra.
Mr. Cooley's early training was at the Philadelphia Musical Academy, which institution later awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Music.
For nine years, Mr. Sokoloff has been the music director of this series and has
made these events, both through his own performances, and that of the musicians he
has brought to the series, high lights in the field of chamber music in this City.
The Academy brings these programs to all, without cost, through the collaboration of the Recording Industries' Trust Funds, in cooperation with Local 77,
American Federation of Musicians; and the Fredric R. Mann Foundation.
The doors open at 7:30.
