Editor's Notes
- Presented by Karin Whalen, Reed College.The Nancy DeLaurier Award recognizes significant leadership, research, and service to the visual resources profession and honors an individual who has shown “distinguished achievement in the field.“ Renate Wiedenhoeft has been documenting historic art and architecture for the purpose of teaching art history for the past forty-five years and is one of our field’s great contributors. For decades, Renate has played a significant role in the lives of curators, librarians, customers, vendors and colleagues. Saskia, Ltd. Cultural Documentation, which she co-founded with the late Ron Wiedenhoeft, and her more recent venture, Scholars Resource have made a monumental impact on the visual resources community. Saskia’s core archive is comprised of images from the world’s most renowned museums. Students and scholars who in the past have been unable to examine these masterworks in person are now able to study them in detail on computers, in dorm rooms and in the classroom. From the days of selling slides door-to-door back in Saskia’s formative years to serving millions of students and hundreds of institutions today, Renate was there. Saskia’s images were among the first commercially available for license as digital records, and they provide the foundation upon which many of our local digital collections are built. Our expectation of quality, service, and cost-effectiveness were met and exceeded by images made available in new digital formats. Renate’s charm and intellect sealed our fate and we have been irrevocably smitten by the lush color images that we can supply to our faculty and curators. When asked where we were able to obtain such beautiful surrogates of paintings from the Louvre or Dresden or temples in Turkey when previously we had only been able to offer grainy black and white images or harshly colored reproductions, Greg Most sagely smiled and responded, “Why from Saskia, of course!” “The first time one of Renate’s digital images was projected on a screen at the Institute of Fine Arts,” said JenniRodda, “there were gasps of surprise and ‘WOW’s’ heard around the room.” Margo Ballentyne didn’t have a separate budget from her art department, but she still wanted Saskia original slides for her collection, even if she could only have a few. “They were my treasures,” she commented. As a content provider, Andrew Gessner has experienced a similar level of quality with Scholars Resource. Together with Todd Keener, Renate has represented the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s digital images in an art historically sensitive and intelligent way. The sets provide creative ways to access the images, allowing for individual or bulk image selection. “Saskia and Scholars Resource,” writes Andrew, “are long lasting and profitable small businesses that consider thoughtfully and sensitively the needs of academic and cultural heritage image collections.” When Ann Woodward was introduced to the visual resources profession in the 1970s at her first VRA conference, it was apparent that Renate and her team would shepherd Ann and her collection into the digital age. Renate and her team have always been annual VRA conference colleagues, presenting papers and organizing panels that make the conference a success, and Renate’s valuable, sensible suggestions have made vendor participation in the conference meaningful and effective. Renate generously supports fellowship activities at the conferences, giving us all truly memorable evenings in fantastic settings, particularly in Portland, Miami, and Baltimore. Renate also has advocated for the visual resources profession by sponsoring conference travel awards for international members. When Vicky Brown from the University of Oxford was selected to receive the Saskia International Award, she immediately wrote to Renate to introduce herself and thank her for the opportunity. Now a fully-fledged member for the past four years, Vicky writes “I have learned so much from being a part of this organization and Renate is for the large part responsible for that.” Today, as more and more visual resources centers become digital, Renate remains dedicated to the community she serves. She is determined to ensure client satisfaction and strives to maintain the goodwill her company earned during its first forty years. “Renate has contributed to the visual resources field in significant ways,” said Kathe Albrecht, “by establishing an efficient mechanism to distribute high quality and hitherto unavailable European art images to the educational community, and then by forging new avenues for that distribution in the digital format. Renate stands with fellow vendors and her visual resources colleagues, in efforts to enhance and advance the field as it has evolved. The legacy of art images and cultural documentation that she helped create so many years ago will certainly continue to enrich the entire cultural community for years to come.” We congratulate Renate Wiedenhoeft, recipient of the 2011 Nancy DeLaurier Award.
