We’re having an exceptional season at the Addison,
and as we pass the half way mark of our 75th
birthday year, we have a lot to celebrate. Last year
almost seven hundred new objects, all of the highest
quality, joined the collection.

| Curator's Choice: Preston Dickinson |
| |
In honor of the winter season, my thoughts turn to
one of the Addison’s treasured but little known
drawings. One of the earliest images of suburbia
produced by Preston Dickinson, this work on paper
was probably created sometime during the winter of
1915-1916 near the time the artist moved to Valley
Stream, Long Island to live with his widowed sister.
Made soon after his return to New York after a four
year stay in Paris, Dickinson's drawing is both a
reflection of his European sojourn and an early
manifestation of the Precisionist style for which he is
best known.

| Donor Profile: Stephen Sherrill (PA 1971) |
| |
While a student at Phillips Academy, Stephen Sherrill
(PA 1971) spent a lot of time on the football field,
but he doesn’t actually remember spending time at
the Addison Gallery. “I don’t think I really had an
interest in art when I was at Phillips. It wasn’t until I
was an undergraduate majoring in architecture that
my interest in art began to grow.”

| Artist's Project: Models as Muse |
| |
On permanent display since their creation, our famed
model ships continue to be a favorite of museum
visitors. Stirring the imagination, they also have
generated a great deal of discussion with the
Addison’s many artists-in-residence. It was this
ongoing dialogue that led us to invite five
contemporary artists to create new works inspired by
these magnificent objects.
