SUMMARY:CAM Talk – Exhibition Series: An Untold Story\, by Eliza Rathbone
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 22\, 2026\n2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nDowntown Campus Auditorium\n27 Pleasant Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930\nRegistration Required\nThis lecture will be recorded. \nTicketing Options:\nIndividual Lecture Tickets — SOLD OUT\nCAM Members $5\, Non-Members (Adult) $30. Additional prices available when registering.\nTickets do not include admission to the special exhibition.\n \nExhibition Lecture Series Package Tickets — SOLD OUT\nCAM Members $25\, Non-Members (Adult) $100. Additional prices available when registering.\nTickets include five lectures and admission to the special exhibition after the talk on July 22.\nClick here to become a member and save! \nMilton Avery\, Adolph Gottlieb\, and Mark Rothko met and became friends in New York City around 1929. While much has been written about each of them individually\, little attention has been given to them as a “close-knit trio” whose lifelong friendship profoundly shaped their work. They also found each other first on Cape Ann and much later in Provincetown. This too has been relatively unremarked in the literature. \nWhy does retired museum curator Eliza Rathbone\, who has organized nearly 60 special exhibitions\, want to do another one? Every major loan exhibition is a voyage of discovery\, and this one especially so. This exhibition offered an opportunity to explore a story of mentorship that is central to American art and to examine the significance of Cape Ann in the lives of all three artists—an as-yet unexamined chapter that can be most meaningfully told in the setting that inspired them. \nEliza Rathbone has spent over forty years as a museum curator\, more than half of them as chief curator of The Phillips Collection. Educated in art history at Smith College\, New York University\, and the Courtauld Institute of Art of the University of London\, Rathbone assumed her first curatorial position at the age of twenty-eight\, when she became assistant curator of twentieth-century art at the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, DC\, after which she moved across town to become associate curator and eventually chief curator of The Phillips Collection. In addition to overseeing the growth and care of the collection and its installation\, she researched and organized dozens of special exhibitions and authored accompanying catalogues on nineteenth- and twentieth-century American and European art\, collaborating with major institutions in the United States and abroad. Rathbone’s work has encompassed many artists\, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir\, Edgar Degas\, Vincent van Gogh\, and Nicolas de Staël as well as Mark Tobey\, Susan Rothenberg\, Milton Avery\, and Mark Rothko. In 2002\, she was named a Chevalier (and more recently\, an Officer) in the French Order of Arts and Letters. As chief curator emerita of The Phillips Collection\, she continues to write and to curate exhibitions. \nImage Credit: Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974)\, Untitled (Mark Rothko with Mandolin)\, c. 1932.

SUMMARY:Online Lecture – Friendship by the Sea: Avery\, Gottlieb\, and Rothko
DESCRIPTION:This online lecture is hosted through Smithsonian Associates.   \nMonday\, July 27\, 2026\n6:30 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.\nOnline Lecture\nSmithsonian Associates Members $20\, Non-Members $30.\nRegistration is required. To register\, please visit the Smithsonian Associates website.\nPlease direct any questions about this partner programming to Smithsonian Associates.\n \nMilton Avery\, Adolph Gottlieb\, and Mark Rothko’s shared summers in Gloucester\, Massachusetts\, in the 1930s and 1940s had a lasting impact on the work of these three pivotal 20th-century American artists. While Avery is often associated with representational art and Gottlieb and Rothko with abstraction\, their friendship and time together on Cape Ann shaped their artistic journeys in profound ways. Featuring 82 works from 26 collections\, the Cape Ann Museum and The Phillips Collection present Avery\, Gottlieb & Rothko: By the Sea\, a new exhibition that explores their bond. \nEliza Rathbone\, chief curator emerita of The Phillips Collection\, talks with Cape Ann Museum director Oliver Barker about the development of this groundbreaking show. Highlighting key works by each\, Rathbone discusses the impact of Gloucester’s coastal landscape on the three artists and shares behind-the-scenes details about the exhibition\, illuminating the men’s friendship and its influence on each artist’s evolution. \nImage Credit: Mark Rothko\, No. 20\, 1949.
