President's Report peter lawson-johnston
Although the normal busy rhythm of activity at the New

York and Venice museums continued unabated, as de-
scribed in the Director's Report, our primary endeavor

during 1986 was to seek approval of our proposed build-
ing program from the appropriate governmental entities
in New York City.

As we progressed toward completion of our applica-
tion to the Board of Standards and Appeals (the City
agency that has jurisdiction over zoning variances), pres-

entations of our building plans were made to numerous
officials and professional organizations such as the Amer-
ican Institute of Architects, the Fine Arts Federation and
the Municipal Arts Society, as well as to neighborhood
community groups. During the lengthy review process,
our architects, Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, made
some modifications to the proposed addition in response Gabriella Golinelli, Peter Lawson-johnston and Fiorella

time. The selection was made by American and Italian
juries, chaired by Roy Lichtenstein and Giuseppe San-

tomaso, respectively.
During the year, the Museum received vital support for
its activities from government agencies, including the Na-
tional Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum
Services, the New York State Council on the Arts, the
Natural Heritage Trust, administered by the New York
State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preserva-
tion, and the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City
of New York. Support from the Norwegian Government
and the Norsk Forum was given for our Jan Groth show,
and the Austrian Institute rendered valuable assistance
for the Oskar Kokoschka retrospective.
We are also indebted to The Henry Luce Foundation,
Inc., for a generous grant toward the publication of a
catalogue devoted to the American works in the Mu-
seum's collection, and to The Florence Gould Founda- J.

We are very grateful to United Technologies Corporation
for its sponsorship of Oskar Kokoschka, 1886-1980 at
the Museum in New York, in addition to its sponsorship

of the extended season of the Peggy Guggenheim Col-
lection in Venice and the establishment of a temporary
exhibition program there, described in the Director's Re-
port. Exxon Corporation provided support for the eighth
in its series of international young-talent shows, Angles

funds to present a fully rounded adjunct program of lec-

Director's Report thomas m. messi r
1986 is the tenth year in which the Guggenheim's Annual

Report has been printed with the aim of informing our
membership and the general public of activities and de-
velopmentsat the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in
New York and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in

Venice. As in past years, certain themes cary over from
previous seasons while others are added to the flow of
events, like mountain brooks to a swelling river. A prevail-
ing sense of sameness thus is counteracted by changing
patterns which in their cumulative effect are sometimes
perceptible as distinguishable chapters in the ongoing
life of the institution. Such a moment is about to occur
as we prepare to cross the threshold into The Solomon
R. Guggenheim Foundation's fiftieth-anniversary year.

sequence of exhibitions
Exhibitions in 1986 were drawn from various periods
of modern art but were polarized into the rather distinct
categories of already historic and contemporary subjects
— the former encompassing presentations with a broad
chronological range beginning before World War I. The
unusually high number of exhibitions in both these
categories is explained by the unprecedented absence of
shows of postwar art, if by postwar we mean the decades
immediately following World War II. Also unprecedented

is the preponderance of exhibitions of European art—

the first major exhibition initiated by the Peggy Guggen-

Dubuffet & Art Brut, this constituted the first visual con-

the production of untaught practitioners, whose work
Dubuffet collected and encouraged during his lifetime.
The exhibition, accompanied by an informative cata-
logue, remains on view until mid-March of 1987.

While exhibition catalogues routinely accompany
shows in New York and Venice, collection catalogues

Arnason. Sweeney's professional career was as
prominent as it was turbulent. In at least
three top positions— as Curator at The
James Johnson Sweeney Museum of Modern Art and as Director,

respectively, at the Solomon R. Guggen-
heim Museum and the Museum of Fine
Arts in Houston, he collided with pow-
erful antagonists on matters of principle
that eventually led to his resignation.
While the reasons for such recurrent up-

heavals may have complex underlying
causes they are reducible to the fact that
James Johnson Sweeney loved art, liter-
ature, poetry, culture and creativity often
to the exclusion of many other things.
Among the latter were museology and
every form of professional pedantry,
didactic approaches, particularly when
conveyed through slide lectures, empha-
sis on administration, particularly in its
budgetary guise, and public relations

when it drew him away from what he
rightly considered more central mu-
seum concerns.

But he did love art with a consuming
passion and went to any length to search
it out, to think it through, to acquire it,
often under very difficult circumstances,

inorder to install and show it with su-
preme tact and respect. His recurring
problems w-ere signs of a time in which
too high a value was already being as-
signed to the practical, the material and
the quantitative, at the expense of the
aesthetic, the spiritual and the qualita-
tive. The latter attributes attracted Jim
Sweeney to the museum profession,
where he proceeded to apply his stand-
ards and convictions with unremitting
consistency.

8. Contributed Services:

nificant contributions of their time in the furtherance of the
Museum's programs covering most phases of the Museum's

activities except for maintenance, guard service and art han-
dling. The value of this contributed time is not reflected in
these statements since it is not susceptible to objective meas-
urement or valuation.

9-Lease Commitment:
The Foundation has entered into a noncancelable office build-
ing lease which is deemed an operating lease. Future minimum
annual lease payments under this lease agreement, which ex-
pires during 1997, are as follows:
1987 $ 57.308
1988 71.516
1989 71.516
1990 71.516
i99i 7i,5i6
1992 through 1997 499,284
In addition, the lease requires payments under an escalation

clause for taxes and operating expenses. Lease expense for the
years ended December 31, 1986 and 1985 was approximately
$27,000 and $26,000, respectively.
10. Demand Loans Payable:

During 1986, the Foundation repaid $2,500,000 of demand
loans payable. Interest expense for the years ended December
31, 1986 and 1985 was not significant.
11. Challenge Grant:

In September 1984, the Foundation was the recipient of a
Entrance, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni,
Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts
(NEA). The NEA grant is for $750,000 and will be awarded
to the Foundation provided they obtain $2,250,000 in match-
ing funds from other non-federal sources. Under the terms of
the grant, the Foundation received $562,500 from the NEA in
1985, as the Foundation had obtained $750,000 from other
non-federal sources. These amounts have been reflected in
the Endowment Fund in 1985 (see Note 7). The balance of
$187,500 of the grant receivable will be awarded to the Foun-
dation provided the Foundation obtains the remaining
$1,500,000 in matching funds by December 31, 1987. As of
December 31, 1986, $187,500 has been reflected in grants and
donations receivable and in deferred income.
