Book excerpt: The Klauer family's patronage began in the 1870s, when Peter Klauer, an immigrant from Germany, opened a hardware store in Dubuque, Iowa. The Klauer Family of Dubique, Iowa chronicles the fascinating story of patronage by one family in the last 150 years. The members of the Klauer family have affected the lives of thousands-in Dubuque, Iowa; Taos, New Mexico; Grand Island, Michigan; University of Notre Dame, Indiana; and even New York City.The bulk of the story relates to William J. Klauer and his many years supporting the artists of New Mexico, especially Walter Ufer, and his participation in various art ventures and organizations. The overall story told in this publication highlights a time in American history that reflects the importance of patrons to artists, the effects of world wars and the Great Depression on cultural institutions and artists, and the lure of the Southwest to collectors. Due to William J. Klauer's patronage, a number of art museums now own a major work by Walter Ufer and other American artists. The reader will find that the ripple effect of this one patron extends far beyond one artist or one association. The family continues its patronage today with the funding of the restoration of the Mather-Klauer Lodge on Grand Island, which serves Illinois State University. In New Mexico, the family has donated land to the Klauer Taos Campus, Taos Overlook, and Taos Armory. Overall the story delights in telling the history of one family's munificence for 150 years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the hundreds of foreign students who attended the Munich Art Academy between 1910 and 1915, Walter Ufer (1876–1936) and E. Martin Hennings (1886–1956) returned to the United States to foster the development of a national art. They ultimately established their reputations in the American Southwest. The two German American artists shared much in common, and both would gain membership in the celebrated Taos Society of Artists. Featuring nearly 150 color plates and historical photographs, A Place in the Sun is a long-overdue tribute to the lives, achievements, and artistic legacy of these two important artists. In tracing the lifelong friendship and intersecting careers of Ufer and Hennings, the contributors to this volume explore the social and artistic implications of the artists’ German heritage and training. Following their training in Munich, both men hoped to build careers in the spirited art environment of Chicago. Both were sponsored by wealthy businessmen, many of German descent. The support of these patrons allowed Ufer and Hennings to travel to the American Southwest, where they—like so many other talented artists—fell under the spell of Taos and its picturesque scenery. They also encountered the region’s Native peoples and Hispanic culture that inspired many of their paintings. Despite their mutual interests, Ufer and Hennings were not identical by any means. Each artist had a distinct artistic style and, as the essays in this volume reveal, the two men could not have had more different personalities or career trajectories. Connoisseurs of southwestern art have long admired the masterworks of Ufer and Hennings. By offering a rich sampling of their paintings alongside informative essays by noted art historians, A Place in the Sun ensures that their significant contributions to American art will be long remembered. A Place in the Sun is published in cooperation with the Denver Art Museum.

Book excerpt: In early June, 1912, at least two photographers arrived in Dubuque, Iowa, and began shooting the photographs that today make up the Klauer Collection. For three weeks they traveled through the city with a large format camera and a magnesium powder flash lamp, photographing workers in factories, offices, saloons, pool halls, ice cream parlors, and even an operating room at the dawn of antiseptic surgery. The individual photographs they produced are, for the most part, objective, straightforward, documentary portraits of workers and the rooms or factory floors they occupy-fascinating but not always flattering. We see the mustaches, the sleeve protectors, the spittoons, the tin ceilings, the Miss Remington calendar, dizzying wallpaper patterns, bountiful taxidermy, and the price of a chopped ham sandwich all in amazing clarity. Fortunately, before the photographers moved on to their next project in the next town, they sold the roughly 500 glass plate negatives they had made in Dubuque to Peter Klauer, the President of the Klauer Manufacturing Company. The plates remained in storage- occasionally thumbed through by the curious, but mostly forgotten. In the 1980s, William Klauer, Peter's grandson, donated a set of contact prints to the Loras College Center for Dubuque History, and later he generously gave all of the remaining glass plate negatives to the College. This collection of prints and negatives is now known as the William J. Klauer, Sr. Collection, and visitors to the Center can view all of the photographs. Thumbnail images can be viewed at: digitalcollections.loars.edu/. This volume reproduces some of the best photos from the collection and also includes essays on history, Dubuque, photography and backgrounds on the individuals and locations depicted.

Book excerpt: Building Systems Magazine (BSM) is an award winning United States-based trade magazine read by builders, developers and general contractors using or considering using innovative construction technologies. Once commonly known as "pre-fab," today's modern building systems employ innovative materials and techniques to create residential or commercial structures in a factory setting in a fraction of the time it takes to site build. BSM focuses mainly on log, timber frame, modular, panel, and structural insulated panel building technologies. Since factory fabrication and site preparation take place simultaneously, structures are finished and ready for occupancy in weeks, rather than months or years as required by conventional site-building schedules.
