Robert Stewart 1348 Third Avenue Salt Lake City, Utah 84103 the Utah Arts Council, the Institute of Will South George Stromquist Research Curator and Assistant Kaye Terry New Curator of Education The Museum takes great pleasure in announcing the promotion of Kaye Terry to the position of Curator of Education. She is responsible for the overall development, implementation and evaluation of the Museum's interpretive programs. Education is central to the Museum's mission, as the meaning of the collections are delivered to the statewide public through organized outreach programs. Museum Director Frank Sanguinetti comments, "Clearly, in an art museum the item of first importance is the permanent collection, but equally imp<>rtant is what the Museum does to interpret tne collection to as wide a public as possible. For us in the Museum it is crucial to have first class education specialists. Now, Kaye Terry continues in a line of exceptional curators which began 15 years ago with Ann Day, continued with Sue McCoy, and 1s presently in the most capable hands of Kaye Terry." Kaye is a University of Utah alumnus, with a degree in Design and an Education Certificate. She previously owned a retail and wholesale fashion design business, was a partner in Canyon Gallery Art Consultants, and worked for Phillips Gallery as a corporate art consultant. She has taught at the Salt Lake School of Interior Design, and more recently, as an Adjunct Instructor of Art at Westminster College. As a professional artist, Kaye's work has been seen in numerous regional exhibitions and she is represented in local collections. Kaye began her relationship with the Museum ten years ago as a docent and she was the Docent Council Chairperson in 1986/87. She was invited toJ"oin the professional staff in 1988 as Assistant Curator o Education. Her experience in the Education Department, her talents as a lecturer, her affinity for the phifosoJ?hical and intellectual basis of art history, and her special mterest in contemporary art are great assets for the Museum. Wm South and George Stromquist have joined the Museum staff as Research Curator and Research Assistant, respectively. Will and George will develop a range of programs and tools to interpret the collections for general and specialized visitors: develop additional gallery talks relating to the collections and special exhibitions create self-guided audio tours for special exhibitions provide expanded interpretive labels create text panels which describe the major themes or ideas represented by particular exhibitions prepare give-away brochures produce video orientations In addition, Will and George will be involved with the preparation of data for a forthcoming guide to the collections to be published in connection w1tfi the Museum's 25th anniversary in the present building (1995-%).

Museum Schedules European Tours New Book Out on Rambova and Valentino Two tours to Europe are on schedule for this early Spring and late Summer. The April tour will be to London to take in the major international Rembrandt exhibition, sponsored by the American Express corporation, which will only be seen in Amsterdam, Berlin and London. The Master and His Workshop, consists of 46 paintings by Rembrandt and the same number by his students. This will be shown at the National Gallery, London. A parallel exhibition of Rembrandt drawings and etchings will be mounted at the British Museum. The tour willlast a week and will include visits to other London museums, theatre and music events, and a day to Canterbury Cathedral and Sissinghurst Castle Garden. The Museum has a fascinating and perhaps unlikely connection to Rudolph Valentino and his wife Natasha Rambova: dancer, actress, international designer, serious student of comparative religions, collector of Egyptian antiquities and Salt Lake City native. The regular summer art tour will feature some Italian cities and museums not previously included in earlier Italian tours: Turin, Genoa, and Piacenza for example, and will include extended stays in Bologna, and Perugia. This will be a most unusual trip of 19 days. For information call Pat Jarvis at 531-1606. Utah Museum of Fine Arts, University of Utah Newsletter Editor, Charles R.

Utah Museum Of Fine Arts University Of Utah Winter 1992 Tax Break for Art Donors Ends December 31 For the first time in five years, collectors can deduct the full appreciated value of art, antiques, jewelry, rare books, and other tangible assets donated to museums. Furthermore, these gifts will not be subject to the alternative minimum tax. This one-year "tax window" temporarily suspends the effects of the 1986 Tax Reform Act, which limiteddonors to valuing works of art only at their original cost. For this tax xear, ending on December 31, 1991, donors can base their gifts on the current market value of art works. The museum community is working hard to keep this window open permanently for another year, but there is no guarantee of success. Portrait of Rudolph Valentino as Caballero Jerezano (from the Four Horsemen movie), 1925, F. Biltran Masses (Spanish), oil on panel, 97" x 60", Gift of Mrs. Richard A. Hudnut, 19511.
