The Academy was one of the few institutions in this country that offered instruction in design during the 1920s and С30s, and its influence on architecture, interior design, art and crafts after WWII was crucial and extensive. Many of the artists who studied and taught here received international recognition including Eliel Saarinen, his son Eero Saarinen, Charles Eames, Florence Knoll, Harry Bertoia, Ralph Rapson, Jack Lenor Larson, Carl Milles and Majia Grotell. CranbrookТs significance was recognized in the major exhibition titled, УDesign in America: The Cranbrook Vision 1925-1950,Ф shown at the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Suomen Rakennustaiteen Museo in Helsinki, Finland during 1983 and 1984. As an institution devoted to an interdisciplinary education where students work with artists in a mentoring relationship, the Cranbrook system has continued to provide a fermentative avant-garde environment for important artists-in-residence and students. Among the many who have achieved renown in their fields since the 1950s are architects Daniel Libeskind, Dan Hoffman and Hani Rashid, designers Niels Diffrient, Kathy and Michael McCoy, Laurie Makela and Edward Fella, ceramic artists Richard DeVore, Jun Kaneko and Tony Hepburn, photographers Joel Peter Witkin and Carl Toth, sculptors Michael Hall, John Torreano, Dwayne Hanson and Heather McGill, and fiber artists Gerhardt Knodel and Jane Lackey. Throughout the decades the Art Museum has served as a forum for the Academy and surrounding area, as well as a venue where artists as diverse as Yoko Ohno, Keith Haring and Rafael Moneo have shown their work. It is also a collecting institution owning major art by alumni and key contemporary artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Together the Academy and Museum provide a total experience for the community in the creation and exhibition of art. Niels Diffrient, the important furniture designer said of his years here: УIТll never forget Cranbrook. It opened my eyes to the possibilities of me working in my field and doing the absolute best. I discovered Eames and Saarinen and Bertoia who proceeded me. Even today when IТm doing a project I think is Charlie Eames watching over my shoulder? Ф Some authorities have pointed to the Cranbrook environment as one of the keyТs to its educational success. The physical facility is considered one of the masterpieces of institutional architecture and landscape design in the United States. The community was founded in 1904 and built by George Gough Booth and his wife Ellen Scripps Booth, using a fortune made in the Booth and Scripps newspapers. Booth was publisher of the Detroit News and many smaller papers around Michigan. In 1925 Booth hired the great Finnish/American architect Eliel Saarinen to design Cranbrook. He was to add to buildings of significance by industrial architect Albert Kahn, by Booth and his son Henry Booth, and the New York ecclesiastical architectural firm of Bertram Goodhue Associates. For Saarinen, who was the first head of the architecture department at the Academy, the key to designing great buildings was understanding the context and program of the institution for which he was designing. Equally important was thinking about the entire plan of Cranbrook from the organization of the 315 acres of land with its many buildings, water features and major outdoor sculptures, to the design of even the smallest details like the ornament on a chair back in the dining hall. He believed that there should be a relationship between all the parts. In fact, Cranbrook is a totally designed entity. Living and working in a place of such extraordinary man-made and natural beauty has proven to be transformative for many. According to alumnae Lorraine Wild it provides Уincontrovertible evidence that interesting and humane design could be achieved without formulas for form.Ф Since 1996 Cranbrook has added award-winning buildings that continue the evolution of design Saarinen began, buildings by well known architects Rafael Moneo, Steven Holl, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, Dan Hoffman and Peter Rose. As a critical part of the Detroit metropolis and Michigan art world, Cranbrook adds immeasurably to the culture of the Midwest. Yet, the Community reaches far beyond this area. Visitors from around the world come to see the buildings and study in the academic programs. While the BoothТs left Cranbrook an endowment, it is not enough to maintain and preserve these programs and physical resources. As part of its development efforts the Art Academy began a loan program for corporations, where student and faculty art can be borrowed for a period of time. Auctions of art by alumni, faculty and students occur in the summer, during the annual УSerious Moonlight,Ф party held at the Peristyle of the Museum, with its fountains and reflecting pools filled with great sculpture by Carl Milles. This year at a patronТs pre-party, a special selection of art will be for sale. All ten Academy faculty members have donated a major work of art. A special portfolio of graphics made by faculty members in 1982 for the AcademyТs 50th anniversary will also be auctioned. This includes one of the few prints ever done by architect Daniel Libeskind, who recently received the commission to design the new World Trade Center in New York. Other graphic works by Gerhardt Knodel, Jun Kaneko, Michael Hall, and Michael and Kathy McCoy are very rare. Please consider leaving a bid on any of the art, which you can see, in the attached (ADDISON TO FILL IN ). Also consider becoming a patron of Cranbrook, part of our ArtMembers Group. You will receive information on local and national activities as well as future auctions, including the larger group of works to be sold at the УSerious Moonlight,Ф party. If you are interested, we could send you information on our corporate loan program. . · №   EGI¤¤¤H*√┴ у D~:@ABCDEFI¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤√┴ у D~:@ABCDEFI░╨/ ░р=!░"░#Ра$Ра%░ [(@ё (NormalCJmH <A@Є б<Default Paragraph FontI 4     IIIKK   Cranbrook2C:\My Documents\AutoRecovery save of Document1.asd CranbrookI\\BHCEC02\DATA\USERS\MMIRO\Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.doc CranbrookI\\BHCEC02\DATA\USERS\MMIRO\Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.doc CranbrookSC:\My Documents\AutoRecovery save of Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.asd CranbrookSC:\My Documents\AutoRecovery save of Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.asd CranbrookSC:\My Documents\AutoRecovery save of Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.asd CranbrookSC:\My Documents\AutoRecovery save of Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.asd CranbrookSC:\My Documents\AutoRecovery save of Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.asd CranbrookSC:\My Documents\AutoRecovery save of Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.asd CranbrookI\\BHCEC02\DATA\USERS\MMIRO\Addison's text on Cranbrook Academy of Art.doc @А@@№▌d@@Iа@GРTimes New Roman5РАSymbol3&Р Arial"ёИ╨hЧ+vЖL3vжK3vж╔Г *С#е└┤┤Аr0dЧI  ■ Cranbrook Academy of Art, a graduate art school and Cranbrook Art Museum, a contemporary art museum, both in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, have played significant roles in the history of design, art and the crafts in America, since they were founded in Cranbrook Cranbrook■ рЕЯЄ∙OhлС+'│┘0|Шаи┤╚╘рЁ  , 8 D P\dltф  Cranbrook Academy of Art, a graduate art school and Cranbrook Art Museum, a contemporary art museum, both in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, have played significant roles in the history of design, art and the crafts in America, since they were founded in  C CranbrookokranranNormalo Cranbrookok3anMicrosoft Word 8.0y@ЎQ@* ЪN,├@Н~П+├@p╬╜N,├Г■ ╒═╒Ь.УЧ+,∙оD╒═╒Ь.УЧ+,∙о4Ё hpДМФЬ дм┤╝ ─ ╧ф Cranbrooko* Ч1   Cranbrook Academy of Art, a graduate art school and Cranbrook Art Museum, a contemporary art museum, both in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, have played significant roles in the history of design, art and the crafts in America, since they were founded in TitleШ 6> _PID_GUIDфAN{BE0C864E-9762-11D7-9BCF-00B0D046DA45} ■    !"■   $%&'()*■   ,-./012■   ¤   5■   ■   ■                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Root Entry         └F╝▄бв+├@Ыу╬N,├7А1Table            WordDocument        4SummaryInformation(    #DocumentSummaryInformation8            +CompObj    jObjectPool            @Ыу╬N,├@Ыу╬N,├            ■                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ■       └FMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8Ї9▓q
