Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 1989 March, 22 Gift to Museum and SVSU Board of Control Notes From Jennifer Lentz (Collection Documentation Intern 1991-1992) Memo dated April 3, 1992: "RE: Spirit of Kentucky The reliefs on the Louisville Courier-Journal Building were cast at the Roman Bronze Works, Inc. in Corona New York. They are mounted on Veined Ebony Black granite. Mr. Fredericks said the following about the reliefs. 'I hoped to make this something you would not just look at one time and dismiss. I wanted it to be something that the children would be able to understand and enjoy and see something different about it each time they saw it again.'" MF archives: Marshall was contacted by Donald Oenslager of New York, design consultant for the new Louisville Courier Building, regarding this commission. Mr. Oenslager had been asked to approach Carl Milles about doing the sculptural reliefs for this building entrance. Mr. Oenslager states in a letter to Marshall dated July 29, 1946: "They suggested I approach your Father-Superior, Karl Milles, about sculptural work for the building. This I have done hoping, with you in the back of my mind, that his fee might be too expensive and that he might be too occupied. That is the case and I have proposed to the owners that I get in touch with (you) about designing and executing the sculptural decorations of the main entrance of the building. The owners and publishers of the papers are very much in favor of my proposal and I am writing to you to inquire whether their project might interest you." He continues "For subject matter the clients seem inclined toward the representation of a number of scenes and episodes from the history of the state of Kentucky." Barry Bingham was the owner of the new Courier-Journal building and former ambassador to London's son and a young and progressive editor who has a very deep interest in the contemporary arts. He corresponds frequently and cordially with Marshall on the design of his relief sculpture. Marshall did take on this commission for the sum of $10,000 which was paid to him in three payments of $3333.33. His intent for the project was for "children to be able to understand and enjoy and see something different about it each time they saw it again." MF, Sculptor: The main entrance to the building of the Louisville Courier-Journal presented another kind of problem-to embody the spirit and the history of a state in visual form. The building was a not unusual downtown business structure, having an entrance in the form of a shallow rectangular recess. Fredericks took as the subject for its enrichment the history of the region, in which the Courier-Journal is the one great newspaper. Kentucky, one of the earliest states to be settled by the tide of western migration, has a store of memories: the pioneer settlers, the great rivers with their picturesque side-wheelers, its farms and blooded horses. The tall space over the door was a difficulty which was solved by grouping these memories in bronze low reliefs, arranged as if free-flowing on a polished black granite background, as they might present themselves in the imagination-a pioneer family with the animals in the forest; riverboats and giant catfish; tobacco and sheep; thoroughbred horses. These free-form reliefs, completed in 1948, were a skillful solution to the problem of an awkwardly shaped wall area. Molly Barth copy: On this wall are fragments of the scale-models for The Spirit of Kentucky relief which was made to go above the entrance of the "Louisville Courier Journal" newspaper building in Louisville, Kentucky. The bronze sculpture in Louisville is 16 feet x 16 feet square. These vignettes of life in Kentucky float on the. The newspaper commissioned Fredericks to do this. It was dedicated in 1947. They wanted to tell a little bit about Kentucky so that students or children coming to see how a newspaper was made they could look and see a little bit of their state history as they were walking into the building or as they were walking along the sidewalk. The two fragments we are missing are the thoroughbred horses and the tobacco industry. On the left are two raccoons with their dinner that they caught. In the middle is the giant catfish with the paddlewheels. On the right is the pioneer family with the woodland animals. Down below, again, are the giant catfish and the paddlewheels. Those two on the right are just the quarter-scale models. The other two, the raccoons the larger catfish and the paddlewheels are the full-size plaster models. They are the same size as the bronze casts now located on the facade of the building. There you've got the giant catfish and the paddlewheels, but up above in the tree limbs, are Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer looking down on the paddlewheels. These were cast in bronze. When Fredericks was commissioned to do this, the newspaper invited him and Mrs. Fredericks to come to tour their state, so that he could experience first-hand what Kentucky was like. He did and he came up with some very nice aspects, of liking Kentucky, the spirit of Kentucky.

Fredericks Sculpture Museum Subject The topic of the resource Arbury, Ned Fredericks, Marshall M., 1908-1998 Saginaw Valley State University. Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum Yien, Amy Yien, Robert Description An account of the resource Mrs. Dorothy (Honey) Arbury studied with Fredericks when she attended Kingswood School at the Cranbrook Educational Community in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in the 1930s. She met him through her uncle, Alden B. Dow, a prominent architect in Midland, Michigan, with whom Fredericks worked on architectural sculpture projects. In 1963, Mrs. Arbury was on the founding Board of Control of Saginaw Valley College, which later became Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU). She remained active on that board and on the SVSU Foundation Board into the 1990s. Mrs. Arbury and her husband, Ned Arbury, and Fredericks and his wife, Rosalind Fredericks, formed the idea of a permanent exhibit of Fredericks' work adjacent to the university's then-new facility for the art, music and theater departments. SVSU and the Arburys worked together toward an agreement to have the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Gallery and Sculpture Garden built adjacent to the art department. The gallery opened to the public in the Arbury Fine Arts Center in May 1988. About half of the $7.2 million of private money raised for the building went to design and construction, restoration, transportation and installation. Fredericks oversaw installation of the more than 200 mostly plaster models in the permanent exhibit gallery. Through the years, private donors have made it possible for some of the bronze casts to be made for the Sculpture Garden. Fredericks gave the balance of the collection in 1994. After his death in 1998, the gallery received his remaining tools, equipment, archives, architectural site models, sculptures and more. With the growth of the collection, the Board of Advisors elevated the gallery to museum status in 1999. In October 2003, the $2.5 million Phase II Capital Campaign expansion became a reality, nearly doubling the museum's size. The addition includes the Sculptor's Studio, a classroom, archives vault, research reading room, two temporary exhibition galleries and a gift shop.

Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 1987 July,1 Gift to Museum and SVSU Board of Control Notes MF, Sculptor copy: "Union Station on Fort Street in Detroit was a landmark of nineteenth-century Romanesque architecture used by the Chesapeake and Ohio, Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wabash railroads. Passengers left from its platforms for the great ports of the Atlantic coast south of New York, and for St. Louis and the West. When it was remodeled and modernized after the war, Fredericks was asked to do something on the long narrow band of wall over the doors through which travelers passed to the train platforms. On what would appear an awkwardly long and constricted span, Fredericks executed in polished aluminum a free-floating relief, forty-four feet long, which he called The Romance of Transportation (figs. 150-153). Beginning at the left with the opening of the West-Indians, a wagon train, stagecoaches, highwaymen-the relief swells into a crescendo of railroads and a streamlined train, then tapers off through airplanes and automobiles, to motorcycles and bicycles. The successive forms flow into each other, accentuated by the gleam of hammered and polished aluminum, leading the eye easily from one end to the other of a symbolic history of a people in movement. The relief was put in place in 1950. Subsequently, as the railroads' passenger traffic declined, the Fort Street Station, as it was popularly known, was demolished. The relief was removed to the Railroad Museum in Baltimore, where it remains on view." The work displays the 4th dimension--time. It shows a progression of time in methods of transportation from horses and man-powered vehicles to engine powered vehicles. Two motifs are located next to it: Molly Barth's copy: The long relief on the west wall of the gallery is titled The Romance of Transportation. This plaster model has been painted silver because it was cast in aluminum. The aluminum cast was dedicated in 1951 at the Fort Street Railroad Station in downtown Detroit during a major renovation of the building which was built in 18??. They commissioned Fredericks to make a relief for a long, narrow space above the gates to the train platforms. In this design, the diesel locomotives are intermixed with the older forms of transportation. On the left are Indians and the covered wagons, and stagecoaches. The locomotives in the center are the powerful ones. Notice also the cars, airplanes, bicycles, and the motorcycle and dog on the far right. Once trains ceased to be a popular mode of transportation, with airplanes being so much faster, the depot was closed and then demolished, I believe in 1970. The aluminum cast of this relief and the two reliefs above the exit sign here in the Gallery. Modern Trains, and Horse and Antique Trains, which were also done for the Fort Street Station were removed. They were then sent to the Baltimore Railroad Museum, where they are (hopefully) on exhibit now.

Title A name given to the resource Romance of Transportation [Plaster] Subject The topic of the resource Figure sculpture, American--20th century Animal sculpture--20th century Description An account of the resource Romance of Transportation, 1951 Plaster original painted silver This 44-foot long relief mural was originally located at the Fort Street Union Depot in Detroit, Michigan. It has since been relocated to the B. & O. Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. This plaster original is painted silver to more closely resemble the original cast in aluminum. Because it is so long, it was cast in twelve sections, then welded together. This sculpted mural depicts the development of transportation in America. According to the dedication program: "Fredericks chose the modern steam locomotive and a streamlined diesel, which he contrasted with older modes of travel to form a panoramic history of transportation in America (including) Indian riders of the plains, the ox-drawn prairie schooners and stage coaches of the western pioneers, and one of the first wood-burning locomotives. On the right are the high wheel bikes of the 1890s, the runabout and touring car of the early 1900s, the first airplane, and another wood burning locomotive of civil war vintage. The work was designed to convey the impression of life and motion, and at the same time, create sustained interest by depicting many forms of old-time transportation." When Fredericks first started to do the design for this sculpture he thought of using many forms of transportation rather than just a large train. He claimed it would be "more interesting for people." These same themes are incorporated into the two reliefs centered below The Romance of Transportation, Modern Trains and Horse and Antique Trains. These were located at the main entrance of the Fort Street Union Depot.

Title A name given to the resource Romance of Transportation, Jets, Mold, [Plaster] Description An account of the resource Transportation by Man (Jets), plaster mold with iron rods,and galvanized pipe. Mold is stained from the shellac used to seal the mold. This multiple-piece aluminum installation was made for the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services and the Ohio Department of Transportation, Columbus, Ohio in 1965. This Jets section represents traveling forward into the future like airplanes over the mountains; it is actually a series of three stylized planes that resemble arrows. According to Fredericks "Transportation by Man expresses movement in man and shows the evolution of transportation from primitive beasts of burden to the modern expressway." The entire sculptural installation is made of four individual sections; Recreational Activities, Transportation by Man, Motion in Nature, and Industry and Other Employment Activities. This plaster section of Transportation by Man shows a thin layer of blued plaster. The discoloration is shellac on the surface as a releasing agent when making the model. Iron rods and piping are used for reinforcement on the reverse side. The sculpture in its entirety can be viewed on pages 164-165 in Marshall M. Fredericks, Sculptor.
