01 February 2013
Be the first to comment!

100-Influential-People-miniImagine the Nerman Museum as a lovely three-tiered cake perched on the Johnson County Community College campus (JCCC). The icing on the confection is the stunning Oppenheimer Collection, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year and is valued at more than $10 million. Curated by the Oppenheimers—gregarious Kansas City art collectors and advocates—and the Nerman's executive director Bruce Hartman, 21 pieces grace JCCC's grounds, including sculptures, paintings, photographs, ceramics, new media, textiles and American Indian art. Not only does the parade of art offer students a rich perspective, but it also earned the college prestigious recognition as one of the top 10 U.S. college campuses for public art.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Art Basel Miami Beach 2012's grand opening on Wednesday, December 5, 2012, was truly a world affair. The Vernissage — Art Basel's big, opening night event — was a ball. The scene was more like a midsummer night's dream.

The glitterati from Italy, German, Spain, Holland, Nigeria, The Dominican Republic, Mexico, India and France were there. The billionaire philanthropist and notorious art collector, Eli Broad, was in attendance, as was Las Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn (a formidable art collector himself). The peripatetic and global art collectors, Mera and Don Rubell and Martin Freiermuth of the Vontobel Swiss Investment Group were there. The convention center's acoustics were painted with canvases of Spanish, French, Arabic, German, Yoruba, Chinese and Italian.

Rap stars P.Diddy, Pharell, Rick Ross and Hip Hop mogul Lyor Cohen were in the house. This year's black presence was formidable.

Nerman Museum celebrates 20 years of Oppenheimers’ patronage

16 October 2012
Be the first to comment!

nerman-museum-celebrates-oppenheimers-4-smallTony and Marti Oppenheimers were honored at a Sept. 29 gala at the Nerman Museumof Comtemporary Art, where the galleries were filled with works of art they purchased for the collection. It includes two "Soundsuits" by Nick Cave, a Kansas City Art Institute alum whose career is skyrocketing.

The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art and Johnson County Community College mark a milestone this fall, celebrating the 20th anniversary of art collectors Tony and Marti Oppenheimer's patronage.

The couple, former residents of the Kansas City area who now live in Los Angeles, have contributed more than $2.5 million for the purchase of contemporary art by emerging and established, national and international names. They have also consistently supported local and regional artists, whose works make up roughly 30 percent of the museum's 153-piece Oppenheimer Collection.

Late last month, a museumwide exhibit of the Oppenheimer Collection opened in conjunction with a 20th anniversary gala honoring the couple. Roughly two-thirds of the collection is now on view, and all of the works are featured in a 340-page hardcover Oppenheimer Collection book, with an essay by critic and Star reviewer Elisabeth Kirsch and pictures of each piece accompanied by short entries written by local art historians.

So it's a good time to take stock of what Nerman Museum director Bruce Hartman calls "the foundation upon which our permanent collection rests."

When you think of a patron of the arts, what name comes to mind? Maybe it's Medici or Guggenheim.

In Kansas City, it's likely to be Bloch, Hall, Helzberg, Kauffman, Kemper...or Oppenheimer. A new exhibition at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art displays the ongoing relationship between Johnson County Community College and the Oppenheimers. It's one that's literally filled the campus with more than 100 pieces of art.
