Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a museum of American art in Bentonville, Arkansas. The museum, founded by Alice Walton and designed by Moshe Safdie, officially opened on 11 November 2011. Information technology offers gratuitous public access.

Overview and founding [edit]

Alice Walton, the girl of Walmart founder Sam Walton, spearheaded the Walton Family unit Foundation's involvement in developing Crystal Bridges. The museum's glass-and-wood design by architect Moshe Safdie and engineer Buro Happold features a series of pavilions nestled around 2 creek-fed ponds and forest trails. The soil is flinty silt loam derived from chert and cherty limestone and is mapped as Noark-Bendavis circuitous.[2] The 217,000 square feet (twenty,200 m2) complex includes galleries, several meeting and classroom spaces, a library, a sculpture garden, a museum store designed past builder Marlon Blackwell, a restaurant and coffee bar, named Eleven after the twenty-four hours the museum opened, "11/11/xi".[3] Crystal Bridges as well features a gathering space that tin adjust upwardly to 300 people. Additionally, there are outdoor areas for concerts and public events, likewise as extensive nature trails. Information technology employs approximately 300 people, and is inside walking distance of downtown Bentonville.[four]

The museum has amassed $488 million in assets as of August 2008, an amount that will increase as more pieces are continually added to the museum'south collection.[five] It is the offset major art museum (over $200 million endowment) to open in the U.s. since 1974. Over $317 million of the project's cost has been donated by Alice Walton.[5] A 2013 Forbes ranking of the world'southward richest people placed the Walmart heiress at No. sixteen, with an estimated net worth of $26.iii billion.[vi]

In 2005, art historian John Wilmerding was hired for acquisition and advice on museum programming.[7] Wilmerding commented that Alice Walton "volition not spend at any toll" and will do her "homework on well-nigh every private acquisition and will ask for paperwork on market place comparables".[8] He stated that oft when an artwork became available through a private sale Walton would state 'Wait, it volition come to auction where we tin become it at a amend price,' and she was usually correct.[nine] He likewise stated that the museum ranks at least in the top vi of American art museums. The museum's "quality and its range and depth already place it amidst one of the very all-time."[8]

Headlines were generated after delays in construction and considerably college costs for the museum than originally proposed to the urban center of Bentonville, Arkansas led to concerns virtually the favorable tax exemptions granted to the museum from the land in 2005 to secure its construction.[10] Total tax losses to the state of Arkansas and the city of Bentonville are estimated at $17 one thousand thousand based on the financial disclosures given by the museum in the 2008 courtroom case with Fisk University.[ten] The total amount of taxation loss is estimated to have get considerably higher since so, but may never be disclosed due to the museum's guarded fiscal practices, including its decision not to disclose the corporeality spent since 2008 to secure collections, major art pieces, and lesser known works.[11] [ meliorate source needed ] Even so, the museum'due south IRS Form 990-PF notes acquisitions of $43.vi million during 2008, $81.ix million during 2007, $97.3 meg in 2006. Through 2008, the total art acquisitions were at least $222.8 one thousand thousand.[viii]

Don Bacigalupi was appointed director of the museum in Baronial 2009.[12] Previously, Robert G. Workman had served as managing director.[xiii] In early May 2011, the museum announced three endowments past the Walton Family unit Foundation totaling $800 one thousand thousand. These endowments were established for operating expenses, acquisitions and capital improvements. The operating endowment, totaling $350 one thousand thousand, is being used to contribute to the museum's base of operations almanac operating expenses expected to total betwixt $16–20 million per year. The acquisition endowment, totaling $325 meg, will be used to fund additions to the museum'due south permanent collection. The remaining $125 million will be used as a capital letter improvement endowment to fund future improvements to and maintenance of the museum.[14]

Collaboration with other museums and institutions [edit]

In 2006, the museum partnered with the National Gallery of Art in an attempt to buy Thomas Eakins' The Gross Dispensary from Thomas Jefferson University. Under the terms of the agreement, the ii museums agreed to pay a record $68 million, simply the university gave Philadelphia 45 days to match the offer. The Philadelphia Museum of Art and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts agreed to collectively match the offering and the painting remained in Philadelphia. The purchase forced both museums to sell some of their all-time Eakins pieces including Cowboy Singing and The Cello Player.[15] In April 2007, Crystal Bridges caused another Eakins belonging to Thomas Jefferson University entitled Portrait of Professor Benjamin H. Rand for an estimated $20 million.[16]

Walton held talks with Randolph-Macon Woman'south College in Lynchburg, Virginia in spring of 2007. The higher was exploring selling function of the Maier Museum of Art'due south collection, but voted instead to sell select items from the collection at Christie'southward.[17]

In 2006, Fisk University agreed to sell a l% stake in a 101-slice Stieglitz drove to Crystal Bridges for $thirty meg. The drove was donated to the academy past Georgia O'Keeffe in 1949. This agreement became tied up in a legal boxing betwixt Fisk University and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in New Mexico,[eighteen] merely the museum withdrew its lawsuit. The Tennessee Attorney General attempted unsuccessfully to end the sale. In October 2010, a judge ruled that a 50% stake in the collection could exist sold to Crystal Bridges if modifications to the contract were made so that Fisk University could non lose its interest in the collection, nor could the joint venture property buying of the collection betwixt Fisk University and Crystal Bridges be based in Delaware (or outside Tennessee Courts). The modified agreement would allow the works to stay at Fisk University until 2013 and then brainstorm a 2-year rotation with Crystal Bridges.[19] In April 2012, the Tennessee Supreme Court upheld a lower courtroom decision to allow the sale to move forward. A few months afterward August 2, the Davidson County Chancery Court approval a Terminal Agreed Club that established joint ownership between Fisk Academy and Crystal Bridges through the newly established Stieglitz Art Collection, LLC. The operating agreement required Fisk University to ready bated $iii.9 million of the $thirty meg sale proceeds to exist used to institute a fund for the care and maintenance of the collection at the Carl Van Vechten Gallery at Fisk University.[twenty] [21] The court dispute cost Fisk University $5.8 million in legal fees.[22]

Since 2012, Crystal Bridges has participated in a four-year collaboration with the musée du Louvre in Paris, High Museum of Fine art in Atlanta, and the Terra Foundation for American Art. The resulting exhibitions are called American Encounters and characteristic works from the collections of all iv partners. Each twelvemonth, for the length of the collaboration, the museums develop the exhibition around a theme, such as portraiture. American Encounters has been seen in Paris, Bentonville, and Atlanta.

In early on 2020, Crystal Bridges opened a satellite facility called The Momentary focused on visual and performing arts, culinary experiences, festivals, and artists-in-residence.[23]

The piece was later purchased in 2004 by Crystal Bridges.[27]

In May 2005, the museum purchased a coveted Asher B. Durand landscape entitled Kindred Spirits from the New York Public Library for more than than $35 million in a sealed sale.[28] In September 2012, the museum announced the acquisition of a major 1960 painting by Marking Rothko entitled No. 210/No. 211 (Orangish).
