Item 08 - Elisabet Ney - Artist Recommendation _ Presentation.pdf — original pdf

•Project: Elisabet Ney Museum Grounds •Artist: TBC •Phase: Artist Selection Recommendation •Sponsoring Department: Parks & Recreation •Project Budget: $100,000 •Council District: District 9 •Project Manager: Lindsay Hutchens Arts Commission Meeting Agenda Item #7 Date: 12/16/2024 Elisabet Ney Museum Grounds Project Background The Elisabet Ney Museum is the former studio and portrait collection created by 19th century sculptor Elisabet Ney. The museum offers a range of educational programs, exhibits, special events, workshops and lectures throughout the year. Receiving 21,000 visitors each year from local, national, and international locations the Elisabet Ney Museum is located in historic Hyde Park. Hyde Park traces its origins back to 1891 and is considered to be Austin's first suburb. In 1892, European portrait sculptress Elisabet Ney (1833-1907) purchased property in Austin, established a studio named Formosa and resumed her career as a sculptor of notables. At Formosa, Ney sculpted legendary Texans, including Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston. Ney also assembled at her American studio portraits of European notables, including King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Otto von Bismarck, Arthur Schopenhauer and Jacob Grimm. At the turn of the 19th century, Elisabet Ney’s studio became a gathering place for influential Texans drawn to “Miss Ney” and to the stimulating discussions of politics, art and philosophy that took place there. Following Ney’s death, her friends preserved the studio and its contents as the Elisabet Ney Museum and established the Texas Fine Arts Association dedicated to her memory. The Museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places based on its significance as the former American studio of Elisabet Ney, and a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios program. The property is also designated as a Texas State Antiquities Landmark, a Texas Recorded Landmark, a City of Austin Landmark, and listed as a contributing site to the Hyde Park National Register Historic district and the Hyde Park Local Historic District.
