Dear Roger:
At the request of the City Architect's office and the Mayor's office,
the Minnesota Museum of Art (a member agency of the Saint Paul Council
of Arts and Sciences) is processing a questionnaire regarding art that
exists in public places and in educational institutions in the city.
Aid in compiling this information and providing photography of the art
works was sought by the Art Department of Bowling Green University,
Bowling Green, Ohio, which is publishing a two-volume edition of Art in
Public Places and Art in Educational Institutions in the United States.
Five to eight plates of art wor s in Saint aul , with descriptive text,
will be included in the publication.
The written request for this information was received in the Mayor's
office in May and was referred to the City Architect's office. From
there the matter was referred to the Minnesota Museum of Art, which
offered to assist the City with the survey.
At the time the project was turned over to the Minnesota Museum of Art,
the decision was made by the Museum staff and the Director of the Saint
Paul Council of Arts and Sciences to seek a grant from the City to cover
the costs of processing the survey.
For the purposes of evaluating and writing up information on the art works
of importance that exist in public places and educationa� institutions in
Saint Paul , the Minnesota Museum of Art hired a professional art historian.
(See attached resume of Marie Therese Aamodt) She has been at work on the
project since July 1 and, aided by a photographer recently, will complete
the work by October 1 .
The Saint Paul Council of Arts and Sciences is seeking a grant of $1 ,500.00
from the City to contribute to the Museum's costs in staffing the survey
and the photography.
