Initially called the Art Publishing Award, it was renamed in 1980 to honor George Wittenborn (1905-1974), the influential New York art book dealer and publisher.

16th George Wittenborn Memorial Book Awards

1994 committee presented at 1995 convocation
  • Eakins and the Photograph: Works by Thomas Eakins and His Circle in the Collection of the Pennsylvania Academy by Susan Danly and Cheryl Leibold (Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution Press for the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, 1994). This book includes three-fourths of Eakins' photographic out-put; describes 648 images of the Bregler Collection; and places Eakins' photographic works within the transitional context, between 1880-1900, when photography moved from the realm of commerce to that of art.
  • Mining the Museum: an Installation by Fred Wilson, edited by Lisa G. Corrin (New York: The New Press, 1994). Exhibitions are informed by curatorial biases and acquisition histories of particular institutions, which often, intentionally or not, exclude the viewpoints of minorities. This book looks at how museums view people of color and how people of color view museums. It is provocative. It is in many ways the exhibition catalogue of the future.
  • A Century of Artists Books by Riva Castleman (New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 1994). This book accompanied a thrilling exhibition at MOMA; however, the book is more than an exhibition catalogue. It joins Eleanor Garvey and Philip Hofer's The Artist and the Book, 1860-1960 and Carole Hogben and Rowan Watson's From Manet to Hockney as a great reference book and contribution to the field of artist's books.
  • Odilon Redon: Prince of Dreams, 1840-1916 by Douglas W. Druick ... [et al.] (Chicago: The Art Institute of Chicago, 1994). This book is the result of years of research. It is that rare example of superb scholarship, readability, and visual appeal.
  • Japanese Design: a Survey Since 1950 by Kathryn B. Hiesinger and Felice Fischer (Philadelphia: Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1994). Here is a beautifully designed catalogue about design. The editor was George Marcus and the designer, Matsuo Katsui. It is an amazingly beautiful book.
  • Special mention: Blast 1994. Think basic, local, alignment, search, tool: think deconstructing force. Blast is a hybrid form of journal and artist book, and the 1994 issue, fourth in the series, contains contributions from 60 artists, everything from a blue rubber glove to video and computer programs. We salute the energy, creativity, and vision of the editor, Jordan Crandall, and the X-Art Foundation of New York.
  • Special mention: The Bibliography of Gay and Lesbian Artists (1994), because it is a long overdue reference and collection development tool for an area in art history that has been neglected and ignored. Published by the Gay and Lesbian Caucus of the College Art Association, the bibliography was edited by James Saslow. Three of the contributing editors--Sherman Clarke, Alfred Willis, and Jim Van Buskirk--are current/former members of ARLIS/NA.

15th George Wittenborn Memorial Book Awards

1993 committee presented at 1994 convocation
  • Amigos del Museo Nacional de Arte for its José Mariá Velasco (1840-1912): National Homage, by Mariá Elena Altamirano Piolle (1993), a two-volume study documenting the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of works by Velasco, one of Mexico's greatest painters, drawn from the collections of twenty institutions in Mexico, the United States, and Europe. Published in both Spanish- and English-language editions, the work includes new research on the painter and is perhaps the most complete publication written about a Mexican artist.
  • University of Chicago Press for The Moment of Self-Portraiture in German Renaissance Art by Joseph Leo Koerner (1993). Focusing his argument on Albrecht Durer's Self-Portrait of 1500, Koerner weaves a complex narrative around the nature of the artist, self-portraiture, and its relationship to the viewer. His wide-ranging text gracefully combines traditional art historical methodology, information about economic and legal conditions of the time, and contemporary theory about audience and spectacle to support his thesis and make an intelligent, readable book.
  • The University of California Press for its centennial book, Bronzino's Chapel of Eleonora in the Palazzo Vecchio by Janet Cox-Rearick (1993), part of the California Studies in the History of Art series, this work examines the abundantly decorated chapel not only as a tour-de-force of sacred painting but also as a statement within the social and political discourses of mid-sixteenth century Florence. In addition to extensive notes, bibliography, and index, the book includes an appendix of documents about the chapel commission in both the original and in an English translation.
  • Oxford University Press for The Oxford Guide to Classical Mythology in the Arts, 1300-1990's by Jane Davidson Reid (1993). The guide classifies over 30,000 art works by themes from Greek and Roman mythology. Unlike other sources that have attempted this, the author includes painting, sculpture, music, dance, opera, drama, and literature, thus gathering information heretofore segregated by discipline or time period.
  • Yale University Press for the consistently high quality of all of Yale's 1993 publications in the visual arts, including: Fra Angelico at San Marco by William Hood; The Altarpiece in Renaissance Venice by Peter Humfrey; The Last Descendant of Aeneas: the Hapsburgs and the Mythic Image of the Emperor by Marie Tanner; Hanging the Head: Portraiture and Social Formation in Eighteenth-Century England by Marcia Pointon; History and Its Images: Art and the Interpretation of the Past by Francis Haskell; Rodin: the Shape of Genius by Ruth Butler; Cut with the Kitchen Knife: the Weimar Photomontages of Hannah Höch by Maud Lavin; The Modernist Garden in France by Dorothée Imbert; Degas Landscapes by Richard Kendall.

  • The Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection, Detroit, Michigan in association with Harry N. Abrams for Fluxus Codex compiled by Jon Hendricks (1988). This elegantly designed book offers exhaustive visual documentation as well as a method for the organization of Fluxus and its objects which enable greater access to an important movement in twentieth-century art.
  • Yale University Press for Bradbury Thompson: the Art of Graphic Design (1988). This award is presented for excellence in concept, design, and execution, celebrating the wide range of artistic production by Bradbury Thompson; an example of the rare publication which conveys to the designer and lay person alike the vitality and strength of work which has influenced a generation of graphic designers.
  • The New York Graphic Society, Little, Brown & Company in association with Callaway editions for Issey Miyake, photographs by Irving Penn, edited by Nicholas Callaway (1988). This book is a poetically conceived statement of the work of two artists who have both transcended definitions of their art--and their cultures--to create a whole new way to look at the human figure and to think about our relationship to clothes. Irving Penn is no less the collaborator here, together with the designer, Kiyoshi Kanai, and the New York graphic Society and Callaway Editions, who have produced a stunning tribute to a modern design master, Issey Miyake.
  • W.W. Norton & Company for A Winterthur Book entitled American Seating Furniture, 1630-1730: an Interpretive Catalogue by Benno M. Forman (1988). One of the most important books ever published on the subject of American furniture, Benno M. Forman's thorough examination of seventeenth-century chairs at Winterthur is more than a scholarly catalogue. It is a landmark in the study of American material culture that combines connoisseurship, social history and scientific investigation in an elegantly designed and illustrated volume.
  • University of Washington Press for Symmetries of Culture: Theory and Practice of Plane Pattern Analysis by Dorothy K. Washburn and Donald Crowe (1988). This is a superb post-modern collaboration of mathematics and anthropology to produce a primary tool for artistic and cultural analysis. Following the highest standards of the book maker's art, this important work marries content to context in a virtuoso design of black, white and gray contained in silver patterned boards of brilliant red.
