An upstate New York museum known for its collection of work by Rembrandt, van Gogh and Picasso says it has received its largest donation of modern artwork in years.

The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls announced Friday that 55 works by some of the world’s leading modern artists are a gift from Werner Feibes and the late James Schmitt.

The Hyde Collection announced the appointment of Erin B. Coe as its new director. Ms. Coe earned a national reputation as an American art historian and curator who spearheaded The Hyde Collection’s widely acclaimed Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition in 2013.

“We are absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to bring Erin Coe back to The Hyde,” said Tenee R. Casaccio, chair of the Hyde Board of Trustees. “Erin’s energetic and passionate leadership, her scholarship and knowledge of The Hyde, her reputation in the art world and her strong relationships with donors and collectors will help The Hyde strengthen its ties to the community and its reputation as one of the Northeast’s leading small art museums.”

Selections from the George Stephanopoulos Collection presents the works of artists who happen to be important photographers. The photographic prints in the exhibition are a sampling of over 120 works recently donated to The Hyde Collection by television journalist George Stephanopoulos and his family.

Photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson, French (1908-2004); Williams E. Dassonville, American (1879-157); Mike Disfarmer, American (1884-1959); Larry Fink, American (b. 1941); Mario Finocchiaro, Italian (1920-1999); Leonard Freed, American (1929-2006); Yousuf Karsh, Canadian, (1908-2002); Jeannette Klute, American (1929-2009); Leon Levinstein, American (1920-1988); Joel Meyerowitz, American (b. 1938); Michael A. Smith, American (b.1942), and Karl Struss, American (1886-1981) are in the exhibition.

The Hyde Collection opens its 2015 exhibition schedule with an exhibition drawn from the permanent collection of the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, New York. From January 18, 2015, through April 12, 2015, "Wild Nature: Masterworks from the Adirondack Museum" will be on view in The Hyde’s Wood Gallery.

Over the course of two centuries, the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York have attracted tourists, sportsmen, and artists alike from across the nation. "Wild Nature" features sixty-two stunning masterpieces dating from 1821 to 2001, including paintings and rarely-exhibited photographs and prints. Together these works reveal how images of the Adirondack landscape shaped American perceptions of the wilderness landscape, and how these expectations, in turn, created wilderness as a national icon.

There are plenty of treasures to be found among the collections of lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path art museums dotting upstate New York. But they're well worth the trek for anyone looking for great art in unexpected places, whether it's the rolling, bucolic countryside typical of many areas or the industrial grittiness of riverside mill towns.

Television journalist George Stephanopoulos has donated his extensive photography collection to the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York. The gift includes 128 works by important American and international artists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Larry Fink, Karl Struss, and Garry Winogrand. The donation significantly enhances the museum’s existing photography collection.  

Charles A. Guerin, the director of the Hyde Collection, said, “We have been hopeful of making additions to our photography holdings, but did not imagine that such a significant group of work might come into the collection at one time. The great breadth of photography history as well as the variety of national origins represented by this generous gift by Mr. Stephanopoulos makes this a truly exciting and important moment for the growth of our permanent collection.”

Stephanopoulos is the anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” and the chief political correspondent for the television network. He served as the senior advisor for policy and strategy to President Bill Clinton.

The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are currently hosting the exhibition “Modern Nature: Georgia O’Keeffe and Lake George” at the de Young Museum. The show, which was organized by the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York in association with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the first exhibition to explore Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of Lake George.

Between 1918 and 1934, O’Keeffe would spend months at her husband Alfred Stieglitz’s family estate slightly north of Lake George Village in New York’s Adirondack Park. During this highly productive period, O’Keeffe created over 200 paintings depicting the bucolic, wooded setting, which differ greatly from her well-known renderings of the sparse Southwestern landscape.

“Modern Nature” features 53 works from public and private collections and includes botanical compositions of flowers and vegetables as well as still lifes and paintings of the trees that grew on the 36-acre estate. The exhibition also includes paintings of weathered barns and other structures as well as panoramic landscapes. Works have been loaned from a number of celebrated public institutions including the Seattle Art Museum, the Denver Art Museum, the High Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Walker Art Center.

Colin B. Bailey, director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, said, “It is especially gratifying to host this pioneering and scholarly exhibition of Georgia O’Keeffe’s Lake George‒period works, as the artist’s ‘Petunias’ (1925), featured in the exhibition, is a highlight of our renowned collection of modernist works by artists associated with the Stieglitz circle.”

The de Young Museum is the only west coast venue for the exhibition. “Modern Nature” will remain on view through May 11, 2014.

From February 15 through May 11, The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco will present ‘Modern Nature: Georgia O’Keeffe and Lake George’ at the de Young Museum.

'Modern Nature: Georgia O’Keeffe and Lake George’ went on view at the Hyde Collection last year and was so well-received that the museum extended its hours of operation during the show’s final days.

The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY will extend the hours of the exhibition Modern Nature: Georgia O’Keeffe and Lake George from 10AM to 6PM on Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15 – the show’s final days. The exhibition, which was organized in association with Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, NM, explores the artist’s paintings of Lake George. O’Keeffe would spend months at her husband Alfred Stieglitz’s family estate slightly north of Lake George village between 1918 and the mid-1930s. Her paintings from this time period, which feature wooded, bucolic settings, differ greatly from her well-known renderings of the sparse New Mexican landscape.

Modern Nature presents 58 paintings from public and private collections and includes botanical compositions of flowers and vegetables as well as still lifes. The exhibition also includes paintings of weathered barns and other structures as well as panoramic landscapes of the lake.
