COVER: John LaFord, Blue Lightning Spirit, c. 1990s, Color serigraph, ed. 111/165Collection of Jauvanta M. and Albert L. Walker, gift of Helen and Richard Herrnstadt

It’s going to be a big, exciting,

and active summer at Philbrook.

To begin, I write this following

the wonderful opening of To

Live Forever. Between our

opening previews and the first

day of public viewing, the show

attracted nearly two thousand

visitors the first weekend alone.

This outstanding exhibition

will remain on view through

September 12 and will support a variety of programs – many of them for

members only (see following pages for details). If you haven’t seen it yet,

make sure your summer calendar includes a visit.

Speaking of exhibitions, on July 11 we will open Myths and Memories:

Highlights from the Walker Collection of Native Art. Celebrating a gift of

nearly 180 works, this show represents a further strengthening of the

permanent collection and a broadening perspective on Native art.

Then there’s the Summer Film Series (aka Films on the Lawn),

collaborative events with Circle Cinema and Booksmart Tulsa,

members’ events with the Puerto Rican National Culinary Team,

gallery and garden talks, exceptional 3rd Thursday programs, studio

classes, summer camp, and much more. If your summer plans include

a “staycation”, I believe we have you covered.

Finally, as the Museum finishes its fiscal year on June 30, I thank each

of you for your ongoing financial support. The past 12 months have

not been easy, but we nonetheless anticipate a balanced budget.

Equally important, our programs continue to gain momentum and

demonstrate increasing relevance throughout the region. In fact, the

following page highlights Philbrook’s growth while underscoring the

importance of membership in sustaining our progress. Thanks again

for your ongoing financial commitment and leadership. We want you

to be proud of your investment and proud of your museum.

I look forward to seeing you at the Museum soon and often.

Around this time every year we like to share with you some

raw data about how we’ve changed and grown over the last

12 months. It’s no surprise that the past two years have had

their challenges, but we are so proud and humbled to have not

only survived when others haven’t been so lucky, but thrived

and grown in spite of the trends. And this can be directly

linked to you, our members.

Ahmoo Angeconeb, Woman and Guardians, 1998, Color serigraph, ed. 6/8Collection of Jauvanta M. and Albert L. Walker, gift of Helen and Richard Herrnstadt

by Christina Burke Curator of Native American & Non-Western Art

In June 2009 I received an e-mail from a friend who is a gallery

owner and appraiser of Native American art. He said he’d

given my name to a man in Tucson, Arizona for whom he was

appraising an estate of over 500 pieces of Native art. Much of the

work made by artists from Arizona was donated to the Arizona

State Museum in Tucson, but objects by artists from other states

and Canada did not yet have a home. The executor had asked if

the gallery owner had any suggestions of museums that might be

interested in these paintings, prints, baskets and ceramics, and

my friend immediately said, “Philbrook.” And so began a journey

of nearly a year that included phone calls, e-mails, faxes, FedEx

packages, and a trip to Tucson to evaluate and retrieve the Albert

L. and Jauvanta M. Walker Collection.

For many years the Walkers worked at Iowa State University;

Albert was Professor and Chair of the English Department and

Jauvanta, known as Jav, worked in the university’s Statistical

Laboratory. They loved to travel, and especially enjoyed driving

to the Southwest where they collected pottery, basketry, and

paintings. Following Albert’s death in 1980, Jav continued

her traveling and collecting, attending Indian art shows and

scholarly conferences around the country. It was at such a

conference in Berkeley, California that I first met Jav in October

1997. Throughout the next decade, we saw each other a couple

times a year in Santa Fe, Phoenix, or wherever the next show,

meeting or Native American Art happened to be.

Sandra Okuma, Summer Ride, 2006, GouacheCollection of Jauvanta M. and Albert L. Walker, gift of Helen and Richard Herrnstadt

Roy Thomas, Two Hearts, 1998, Color serigraph, ed. 107/200Collection of Jauvanta M. and Albert L. Walker, gift of Helen and Richard Herrnstadt

Over the years Jav amassed a collection of over 500 pieces,

with particularly strengths in paintings and prints from

Canada and the Northern Plains, as well as the Southwest and

Oklahoma. The two-dimensional art is of particular importance

to Philbrook since the museum ceased systematic collection

of Native paintings and prints after the last “Indian Annual”

competition in 1979. Since then, acquisitions have been

intermittent, and the addition of work created in the 1980s and

after significantly enhance the collection.

Of particular interest are pieces from an important movement

begun in the 1960s known as the “Woodlands Style.” This style

was originated by an Ojibwe (Anishabe) artist named Norval

Morrisseau who was from Thunder Bay, in the northwest corner

of Ontario, Canada on the banks of Lake Superior. The images

depict human and animal characters from traditional Ojibwe

legends and ceremonies and are sometimes called legend or

medicine painting. Historically, such simple stylized images

were chipped into stone and incised in birchbark scrolls;

Morrisseau brought these traditions into the late 20th century

by painting them on canvas and printing them on paper. The

style is easily recognizable with its bold black outlines set off by

areas of bright color.

The temporary exhibition, Myths and Memories: Highlights from the

Walker Collection features several Woodlands style pieces which

illustrate some ways in which contemporary Native artists depict

images from their traditional myths. The show also has work

from other culture areas done in a variety of styles, including

realistic scenes based on artists’ memories of their own past.

Together, such pieces provide a range of perspectives on Native

life and art of the past and present.

6 July  through   September

For our 3rd Thursday event on

August 19th we are excited to

host Egyptologist and television

personality, Dr. Kara Cooney. Dr.

Cooney is a leading authority in this

field and her Discovery Channel

program, Out of Egypt, is a must see.

In anticipation of her upcoming

visit, we asked Dr. Cooney a few

questions about her life and work.

Q. When did you first realize you were interested in Egypt? What sparked this interest?

A. I was about seven or eight years old, and my mother came back from a business trip to London with my dad. She went to the British Museum and brought back a number of books about the ancient world - about the Romans, Vikings, Medieval Europe, and a few about ancient Egypt. These books were all about the daily lives of ancient peoples - how they cooked their food, how they built their houses, and how they buried their dead. I especially remember one of the books that had dozens of pictures of unwrapped mummies and coffins, and I thought that was pretty amazing. But I don’t know what the real spark of interest was. Long story short, I have always been interested in cultures that are long dead. I want to know what they were really like. I still love the ancient Romans and Vikings, but Egypt won.

Q & A with Discovery Channel Host Dr. Kara Cooney

Q. Name one thing about ancient Egypt that everyone should know, but hardly anybody does.

A. Slaves did not build the pyramids! And Egyptian culture was not built by slave labor. The pyramids were built by draft labor, which pulled Egyptian peasants from their lands into service for the king. It was the same situation for temples like Karnak or Luxor in ancient Thebes. I think most people think that Egypt is largely the product of foreign slaves, like ancient Rome was. But in reality, ancient Egypt was able to support such a high population that it was able to exploit its own people to great effect. Unlike the Persians, Macedonians, or Romans, they didn’t need to built a massive empire that built wealth on the backs of slaves. They had more than enough people in their own land who needed work so badly they were willing to work for daily bread.

To read our full-length interview with Dr. Cooney, visit our blog at www.philbrookmuseum.blogspot.com

through September 12, 2010 Helmerich Gallery

The belief in life after death was central to Egyptian civilization over thousands of years, with death seen as an enemy that could be defeated through ritual and proper preparation. Through jewelry, statuary, funerary vessels and other objects, this exhibition explores how the ancient Egyptians sought to conquer death and create a rich afterlife.

It's been a Tulsa favorite for years, but it was time to change things up

a bit in our restaurant, la Villa. From the carpet and chairs to the lights

and the sconces, you'll hardly recognize the place. We even replaced

the wall art with a wonderful painting by Lowell Blair Nesbitt from

our permanent collection. A menu makeover coincided with the

restaurant facelift. Look for a wide array of sandwiches, soups and

daily specials prepared with food from Philbrook's kitchen garden.
