FROM THE DIRECTOR
This Annual Report includes many wonderful programs, exhibitions, gifts
and acquisitions that preceded my tenure as the Museum’s Director (which
began Oct. 1, 2012). As I review those achievements in the following pages,
I am reminded of what a dedicated, talented group of Board members,
staff and volunteers we have! The Annual Report is a clear indicator of
ongoing, dedicated activity by many good folks; it also communicates our
commitment to arts education – the heart and soul of our core mission. Our
Education department is thriving in its enrichment of lives at every age.
After completing my first year in Mobile, I am pleased to report I am very
happy to be here and honored to be associated with this fine Museum. I

EXHIBITIONS
JOHN JAMES AUDUBON: American Artist and Naturalist
October 14 to January 8, 2012
John James Audubon’s (1785-1851) accomplishments as a naturalist and artist
were chronicled in this exhibition. His written journals kept over a lifetime
stand as an unsurpassed contribution to the world of fine art, natural science,
American history and literature. The exhibition featured 51 Double Elephant
Folio size, hand-colored engravings from his masterwork, The Birds of
America, printed in England between 1826 and 1838.
The Birds of America consists of four volumes containing 435 hand-
colored plates portraying 1,065 birds. Life-size images of the birds, from
the snowy owl to the blue heron, were printed on sheets of J. Whatman
Double Elephant laid paper measuring 26 1/2 inches by 39 inches, the largest
size available. Fewer than 200 of the complete four-volume sets were ever

The exhibition also presented original works by Audubon, including
oil paintings, a drawing and watercolors with his field notes, as well as
comparative prints and a portrait of Audubon by his contemporaries, original
letters, documents, personal items, rare books and photographs.
Reflections and Projections: A Collaboration of Music and Art
October 14 to January 8, 2012
Birmingham artist Sally Johnson and Miami-based composer Dorothy
Hindman collaborated to create this installation of projected and still images
in an environment of ambient “aleatory” music. The inspiration for this
project was a conversation Johnson had with legendary avant-garde musician
John Cage (1912-1992). Aleatory music, as Cage employed it, incorporates
random or accidental elements and has been an important contribution to
modern music, dance and drama. The exhibition was conceived to involve
the viewer in an experience of chance interaction with the projected and
still images produced by Johnson and with Hindman’s music, which came

Celebrating Our Maritime Heritage: A Coastal Holiday
December 9 to January 8, 2012
Juror Ben Shamback selected this display of works by local artists on the
theme of coastal and maritime life from well over 100 submissions. Shamback
is a highly accomplished realist painter and instructor at the University of
South Alabama. Works in the show depicted the picturesque waterfront
and estuaries of the Mobile area as well as wildlife fishing boats and other
water-based activities. Best of Show honors went to William C. Morris for
his incredibly detailed and evocative scene of a snowy egret flying over the

FACING SOUTH: Portraits of Southern Artists by Jerry Siegel
January 13 to April 1, 2012
This series of portraits by Jerry Siegel is the result of more than 15 years of
traveling to visit the homes and studios of the South’s most significant artists.
As a young man, Siegel had become acquainted with many artists through
his namesake uncle’s Selma gallery, which was one of the first to collect and
promote Southern artists. This project began as Siegel was photographing
some of his friends who happened to be older artists and realized the value a
more complete record would have for art historians.
In all, 100 intimate, sympathetically composed portraits of the artists
– potters, sculptors, photographers, painters and writers – were presented.
A book by the same name was released with the opening of the exhibition.
Co-published by The University of Alabama Press and the Jule Collins Smith

The American Society of Marine Artists 15th National Exhibition
January 20 to April 8, 2012
Since its founding in 1978, the American Society of Marine Artists has brought
together some of America’s most talented contemporary artists in the marine
art field. Their most highly anticipated exhibition is the national juried

exhibition, which is held every three years. In this, their 15th show, the 122
paintings, sculptures and scrimshaw pieces carry the centuries-old traditions
of maritime art into the 21st century and demonstrate the continuing vitality
of the art form.
Organized by the American Society of Marine Artists, the exhibition
was accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue. The exhibition was
supported locally by a grant from The C. D., Helen and Jeff Glaze Foundation.
BOXES AND THEIR MAKERS
April 6 to July 1, 2012
The American Society of Marine Artists
15th National Exhibition
Michael J. Woodard (American, 20th century), Del Sol,
1988, oil on canvas.
An international selection of world class artists / woodworkers was invited
to create the objects for this exhibition. Variously playful, elegant, beautiful,
whimsical, sculptural or conceptual, the work of the 33 craftspeople in this
show defies the common notion of what a box is. For the purpose of this
exhibition, a box was defined as a container (however little it might hold)
that would fit on a tabletop and be made primarily of wood (although
the box by Kip Christensen was mostly antelope antler). The works in this
exhibition were selected by three curators. Oscar Fitzgerald is an author,
furniture historian and decorative arts consultant. Toni Sikes is Founder,
Artistic Advisor, Board member and former CEO of The Guild, a Wisconsin
company dedicated to helping artists market and sell their work. Kevin
Wallace is Director of the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts in Ojai,
California.

TODAY’S VISUAL LANGUAGE: Southern Abstraction, A Fresh Look
April 20 to September 16, 2012
Accomplishments in abstract art over the last 20 years were featured in
this exhibition of work by 37 artists with ties in heritage or training to
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee,
South Carolina and Virginia. The genre of abstract, non-representational
art was shown as a living, vibrant form of expression for these artists with
Southeastern ties. The works encompassed a variety of media including

painting on canvas and paper, drawings on paper, glass, fiber/mixed media
and collage materials. This range of materials is suggestive of the diversity of
approaches to creating abstract art today – stylistically ranging from neoexpressionism, post-painterly abstraction, pattern and decoration through
areas of indefinable individualism and experimentation. Organized by the
Mobile Museum of art, the exhibition was curated by Paul W. Richelson and
Donan Klooz. The exhibition catalogue was produced as a digital document
that can be viewed at the Museum’s website.
THE HEART OF ECHIZEN: Wood-Fired Works by Contemporary Masters
THE HEART OF ECHIZEN: Wood-Fired
April 13 to July 28, 2012
Works by Contemporary Masters
Mitsuo Kasatsuji (Japanese, b. 1947), Tea Bowl, 2011,
wood-fired ceramic.
Ceramic craftsmen working in the Echizen, in the Fukui prefecture near the
Sea of Japan, are heirs to a tradition of families there producing utilitarian
ware for the last 800 years. This exhibition highlighted work from 20 potters
of the region. Using locally dug clay, they produce work largely unadorned
except for the residues of wood ash that are a product of the wood-fired
kilns traditionally used. The warm color of the native clay combined with the
swirling deposits and drips of the firing create an earthy, natural appearance,
which has long been prized in Japan. The exhibition was the occasion for a
demonstration given at the Kiln Studio and Gallery in Fairhope, Alabama,
by Echizen artist Tetsura Baito, whose hand-built elephant was among the
most delightful of the works shown. Jointly curated by Christopher Kelly and
Preston Saunders, the exhibition was made possible by the Japan Foundation,
Echizen City, Bridgewater State University and Piedmont College.

April 13 to September 16, 2012
This exhibition of 32 works from the collection of Gerald Swetsky featured
both European 20th-century masters and their predecessors in graphic
expression such as Francisco de Goya, as well as American artists in a range of
stylistic areas. Artists such as Picasso, Chagall, Miro and Dali are most famous
for their work in painting but translated many of their important works
into print media. Often, though, they followed the example of Goya, whose
etching in the collection, The Little Prisoner, was designed specifically as a
print. American artists with iconic images in this exhibition include Norman
Rockwell and Alexander Calder as well as animator Ralph Bakshi, who is

I AM YORK Tut Altman Riddick My People and Places
July 13 to September 23, 2012
“I am York” was Dorothy “Tut” Altman Riddick’s emphatic reply to a
disparaging remark made about the rural Alabama town where her ancestors
were among the first settlers and where she spent most of her childhood. This
effectively silenced the critic and also expresses her feelings of identification
with York, the predominantly African-American town where she grew up

and she was often in the company of her housekeeper and members of the
community. Through these experiences, Tut learned to value people for their
humanity and wisdom regardless of color or social standing, which led her to
work actively for the civil rights movement in Alabama in the 1960s. Personal
relationships have defined much of the artwork she has created over the past
60-plus years, whether they are expressed in portraits or in books featuring
quotes from her friends. Tut’s belief in art as a bridge inspired her to lead a
grassroots effort culminating in the Coleman Center, which opened in York
in 1985. The center fulfills a need she identified in the town. It nurtures
the creativity of town residents and facilitates social change through its
programs, such as an artist-in-residence facility that hosts artists to work on
community-based projects. After graduating from the University of Alabama,
Tut studied at the Art Students League in New York City and was encouraged
to stay there to pursue a career as an artist. Instead, her strong ties to
Alabama brought her back and she became a teacher in Mobile. She enrolled
at Spring Hill College to study printmaking so that she could keep her art
and share it as well. For more than 30 years, Tut took classes at the Penland
School of Crafts in North Carolina, enhancing her skills in almost their entire
catalogue of offerings.
The retrospective features paintings, prints, handmade books,
photography and ceramics created in collaboration with Mobilian Charles
Smith. The exhibition was organized by the Mobile Museum of Art.
