Geske-Burr Travels
'Productive' Ideas for
Produce
Museum
Norman Geske, director of
the University Art Galleries,
and Burr Smith, chairman of
the department of architec
ture, have returned from a
summer in Europe sponsored
by the Wood Charitable Foun
dation of Lincoln and Chicago.
The trip was made in the
interests of the Sheldon Art
Museum, to be built on the
University campus.
Geske described his trip as
"extremely productive."
"It will set a standard of
presentation we may use as
a goal," he commented.
Floor Plans
Interested primarily in new
museum buildings and instal
lations and specifically in floor
plans, labeling of displays,
framing and other details of
presenting art, Geske cen
tered his trip in Europe.
Among the highlights of his
trip was a visit to a munici
pal collection of paintings in
Genoa, the Plazzo Bianco,
that Geske described as the
"most unusual installation in
Europe."
Pictures are displayed with
out their frames and are
hung against stark white
walls. In addition, many are
free standing, supported by
steel rods. Geske described
the museum as "original but
perhaps a little extreme."
Very rigid temperature and
humidity controls to prolong
the life of the paintings were
employed in the Alte Pina
kothek in Munich.
Emphasis on Pictures
Commenting on the contrast
of American with European
museums, Geske said:
"It is extremely interesting
to realize the difference in the
points of view. European mu
seums put their main empha
sis on pictures, not on t h e
public."
Citing American architec
ture and techniques as sur
passing those in Europe, Ges-
Sheldon Galleries to Get European Touch
ke commented that we c a n
learn mainly from European
installations, "how to handle
and present works of art with
more taste, more skill and
more subtlety." .
The purpose of Burr Smith's
trip was, in his words, "pri
marily to study the art of dis
playing art, especially in its
technical aspects."
After consulting Architect
Phillip Johnson, who will de
sign the Sheldon Museum, in
New York, and visiting the
new wing of the Cleveland
Arts Museum, Smith crossed
the Atlantic. His destination
"all the great museums of
Europe."
How can art best be illumi
nated without making the
viewer aware of the source
of light?
What can be done to make
a weary viewer continue his
trek through the museum?
What will stop people from
and closed like Venetian
blinds: mechanically, auto
matically allowing an exactly
determined amount of day
light in the building.
The daylight was supple
mented by artificial lights
carefully concealed from the
viewer of the paintings and
at the same time, illuminat
ing the art.
As Smith traveled from
northern Europe to the warm
er Mediterranean countries,
he found the difference in the
intensity of light was reflect
ed in technical handling of il
lumination. Daylight in t h e
museums in Rome, more
nearly on a parallel with Lin
coln, was stronger than in
London, farther to the north.
Successful
Returning to Lincoln with
pictures of showcases, sculp
ture silhouetted against the
lights of a window, the me
chanics of illumination and
pages of diagrams and notes,
Smith regarded his trip as
'successful."
'Everywhere I went I was
excited and delighted," he
commented.
Now he is in the process of
incorporating the many ideas
into plans for the technical
construction of the . Sheldon
Art Museum, currently in the
stage of preliminary planning.

Most houses have chosen

a field goal in high school or
college. In fact, I never even
tried." But the amazing Texas
