We feel that LIBERTY: The French -American Statue in Art and History_ exhibition and special events will attract nation-wide media attention. This will be an excellent backdrop for a series of events that will take place during its' two -month stay in Miami. We -would specifically like to ask the City of Miami's support in bringing Philippe Petit, the French high wire artist who will design a special walk for downtown Miami. This will also provide an opportunity for many of our residents to personally be a part of the 100th Birthday Celebration for "Miss Liberty." We are most appreciative of your interest and support.

November 5, 1986 STATUE OF LIBERTY EXHIBITION OI'f?N1tl(; MAIN LTTITtARY JANUARY 10, 1987 Li The 100th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty affectionately known as "Miss Liberty" will be celebrated in Dade County when LIBERTY: The French -American Statue in Art and History, a traveling exhibition organized by the New York Public Library, is being brought to Miami with the cooperation of the Consulate General of France in Miami. The Liberty Exhibition opens at the Main Library, 101 West Flagler Street on January 10, and will be open at no charge to the public during regular library hours through February 25, 1987. Called "the most special gift ever given one country by another, the Statue of of Liberty occupies a special place in the hearts of Americans and the French." LIBERTY: The French -American Statue in Art and History explores the major episodes in the statue's complex development, as a symbol of liberty, an icon for all who immigrated to America and as the bond that has strengthened French -American friendship. Photographs, models, drawings and watercolors will trace the steps of the nine years it was in the making and examine the unprecedented technological challenges faced by engineers Violett-le-Duc and Gustave Eiffel. Rarely has a work of art had such a social and historical impact on the world. One of the most dramatic pieces in this exhibition will be a 500-pound 6} foot copper -clad index finger which sculptor Bartholdi had on public display in Paris in 1878 to dramatize the colossal dimensions of the proposed statue and to raise funds through public subscription so he could complete his project. A series of lectures, films on French culture, concerts and a French Film Week presenting outstanding feature films have been planned. A spectacular walk by world-famous high wire artist Phillip Petite is now being negotiated. Many other popular events will also take place such as a French cooking demonstration and French wine tasting as well as symposiums on "The Recent Immigrants" and "Freedom and Liberty Today." The exhibition was made possible in Dade County with the support of Air France, American Express, Burdines, Christian Dior/New York, Pan American Airways and Ryder Systems.

It begins by placing the artist, Frederic -Auguste Bartholdi (1834-1904), in his artistic and social context. Bartholdi shared the nineteenth century's fascination with the colossal, with technology, and with faith in progress. Behind the creation of the work of art is a drama of political forces, international finance, and high-powered public relations. The Franco -American Onion, under the leader- ship of Edouard de Laboulaye, propelled into tangible form the project to celebrate French -American friendship. After a decade of intense labors, having triumphed over countless obstacles and setbacks, Bartholdi and his tranat:antic caa.-ngions inau,- urated Liberty on October 281 1886, with spectacular festivities. From its declared purpose as a tribute to French -American friendship, Liberty Enlightening the World has undergone radical changes in meaning over the century. As the most famous work of art in the United States, perhaps in the world, the statue's image continues to proliferate. 86-102S . 1aitLo141 and 119 Ve rld laftholdi's art was profoundly affected by the world in which Ike lived. The •aluea he learned from his devoutly Protestant mother were consistent with his ardent republicaniss and his attachment to his native Aleaces commitments which provided the _ central t1emes of his art. The republican spirit brought Berth- oldi into the circle of Edouard de Laboulayet the eminent pro- fessor of law and authority on American history. As the young sculptor's mentor. Laboulaye articulated the statue's message and provided the political support essential to realising a son- usent to -Trench -American friendship. With Laboulaye's blessing. Dartholdi visited the Unite& States in 1871 in order to determine the feasibility of such a.sonument and to find an appropriate site. 86-1028 0 2. Genesis of the statue Colossal sculpture fascinated Bartholdi, who made pilgri- _ sages across Europe and Egypt to experience this massive art firsthand. His travel in Egypt, combined with his -enthusiasm for emerging technology, encouraged him to envision a gigantic lighthouse at the mouth of the Sues Canal, which Ferdinand de Lesseps was just completing. After Bartholdi's Sues project failed, and the Franco- Prussian War left France in disarray, Bartholdi directed his imagination toward America. He trans- formed his earlier Sues project into a beacon, personifying Liberty Enlightening the World, to be the tallest statue ever constructed. In keeping with his new theme, he defined- a new iconography. drawn from a broad range of historical sources. Eliminating the Phrygian bonnet and downplaying the broken shackles, both trad- itional attributes of Liberty, Bartholdi substituted the flame of knowledge and the tablets of law and -order. The rays of en- lightenment radiate from her crown. Bartholdi integrated his symbols into a form that suited the island site, creating a figure that seems to enter the harbor with arriving ships, yet appears immobile when viewed from the city. 86-102S J 1] 9 3. Constractlou The colossal scale of Liberty necessitated a structural system akin to architecture rather than traditional sculpture. Barth- oldi turned first to the famous Eugene Viollet-le-Duct whose desigs was probably retained for the passages of the arm and heads which were completed before the architect's death in 1879. Bartholdi then sought the collaboration of Gustave Eiffel, who bad not yet built his famous tower but vas already recognised for hiwfgenius as an engineer. Ultimately the flexibility and lightness of Eiffel's armature was a vast improvement over -the more cumber- _ some earlier plans. and the structure anticipated the curtain - wall construction of modern skyscrapers. From Bartholdi's eight -foot plaster model, sections of the statue were multiplied to their final scale. Wooden molds. called aabarits, were built to conform exactly to the contours df each section; into these molds. sheets of copper were hammer- ed to their proper shapes. The pieces were riveted together as they were completed in the atelier of Gaget, Gauthier in Paris. Assembly of the statue'vas complete by May 1884. I i i i 86-102S 4. The preach Castel" The lranco-American Union was officially launched by Laboulaye with a banquet at the Sorel du Louvre on November 6, 1875. Thereafter, Bartholdi threw his energies into gener- ating the publicity necessary to attract contributions on both sides of the Atlantic. He staged the triumphant display of the torch at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876 as well • as the inauguration of his bronze Lafayette in Union Square in Rev York City. After an initial surge of subscriptions, the French campaign failed to raise sufficient money to cover the - costs of the construction. By 1880, through activities such as a lottery and a caval- cade, the needed sum vas guaranteed. Tha majority of subscrip- tions vere from municipalities and regional administrations throughout France. In October 1881, the first rivet vas driven with great fanfare, by Levi P Morton, the American Minister to France. Other significant festivities included the ceremony of transfer of the deed for the statue from the Franco -American Union to the United States on July 4, 1884. Laboulaye's death in 1883 deprived the Union of his leadership, and Ferdinand de Lesseps replaced him as its president. S6-102S L r 0 S. tU• Aaatie&% Castalls lartholdi's second ♦isit to America, capitalising on the Philadelphia Centennial tzhibition of 1876, catalysed the for- mation of an American Committee to assume responsibility for the statue's pedestal and installation. The Union League Club with its commitment to patriotic and artistic ideal& contributed the core of the Committee, headed by William Maxwell Ev arts. Despite unezpected delays and setbacks, t.3e Committee per- severed in a massive fund-raising campaign. Although it raised almost $200.000 by 1885, another $100,000 was necessary to com- plete the pedestal. The situation vas critical vhen Joseph Pul- itzer launched a brilliant drive for the money in his nevspaper, the World. The advent of mass press circulation and more sophis- ticoted advertising established the identity of Liberty both in Trance and the United States. Pulitzer declared the compaign's triumph on August 11 . 1885. In five months the World had guar- anteed Liberty's welcome. su-102S 6. Realisation is ♦merica Richard Morris Dust explored a aide variety of designs before arriving at the final compoetion of the pedestal. An architect trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Bunt attracted a prestigious clientele, many of who• belogSed to the American Comsittee. The elegadt refinement and strong masses of his pedestal suited the classical grandeur of Liberty. The concrete foundation was begun in 1883 and the cornerstone laid on August S, 1884. Liberty arrived on June 19, 1885, just as the World victory was assured. With the coipletion of the pedestal in Spring 1886, Eiffel's pylons were bolted into the pddestal and the armature quickly erected. To assemble the copper shin, workmen hung from the aperture, riveting each piece to the internal support and the adjacent copper sections. Work on the Interior was barely finished as the flame was hoisted into place. Liberty was ready for her debut. SG-102S 7. Grand tlaale Sartholdi and the ♦merican Committee savored the fruits of their decade of labors on October 28, 1886, when elaborate fast- ivities marked the dedication of the statue. The sculptor was lionised fro■ the soment of his arrival, and even made an honor- ary citizen of New York. After a -*rand parade and naval flotilla, President Grover Cleveland officiated at thecaremonles on hedloe's Island. A lavish banquet hosted by the Chamber of Commerce feted the dis- tinguished guests at Delmonico's restaurant, and a dazzling display of fireworks concluded the inauguration. 8f --102S • •. 100 Tears of Libast� Over the last century, the natural deterioration of an out- door sculpture as wall as past modifications to the statue made the centennial restoration imperative. Stainless steel armature bars replaced the corroded iron ones. The structural weakness of the torch arm, a problem from the outset, was corrected. The flame, to which the paned glass had been added in 1916, was re- stored to its original shape and gilded, as Eartholdi had wished. The physical decay contrasts dramatically with the statue's enhanced status as an icon. The star of countless replicas, she is as familiar as the Stars and Stripes. From the symbol Of French -American amity, she has evolved into the image of the United States. The range of meanings that Liberty accommodates and the purposes to which her image is subject are as pluralis- tic as the world she enlightens. 86--1028 C] EA, SUggestions for public Program/Zxhibitions to coWle"at the Liberty exhibition NO hope that you Will circulate information about this exhibi- tion among your colleagues. One of the primary goals of The New York Public Library's travelling exhibition program is that each exhibition serves as a catalyst for small related exhibi- tions and programs at the host institutions. Please encourage your staff to investigate their own collections; to plan satel- lite exhibitions or public programs which will highlight the strengths of your holdings. For example, during the tour of an exhibition on Censorship, organized by the New York Public Library, several sites mounted small exhibitions from their own collections which placed this comtemporary exhibition in its historical context. Similarly, several sites planned lectures, discussions and film programs, which drew upon scholars and political figures in their own community. With this in mind we suggest that institutions plan their own programs. To assist in this process we are including a summary of programs scheduled at the New York Public Library in conjunction with the exhibition, "Liberty: The French - American Statue in Art and History".

EXH121T10M At the beginning of the French fund -rasing campaign for the Statue of Liberty in 187;, Edouard de Laboulaye said, "In a hundred years America will celebrate anorher cen- tennial of her independence. By then she will have forgotten our names, bttt (the statue] will ... bear witness ... to the everlasting friendship which joins France and America." The centennial of the Statue of Liberty is the opportunity for a comprehensive ex. hibition tracing the Statue's history, art. technology, and symbolism as a monument to liberty and to French -American frater- nity. Liberty: The French-.-I)rterrcan Statite in Art ind History places the Statue in a broad historical framework while demon- strating its artistic and technological de- velopment from inception through current restoration. Like the Statue itself, the exhibition is the product of French -American collaboration. It has been developed jointly by the Official French -American Committee to Celebrate the Centennial of the Statue of Liberty and The New York Public Library. The exhibi- tion has been made possible by generous grants from Louis Vuitton and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Washing- ton, D.C., a Federal agency. Liberty brings together more than ;oo objects from over -g public and private collections. Bronzes, models, paintings, en- gravings, architectural drawings. manu- scripts, correspondence, and photographs tell the story of France's gift to America.
