Richard and Mary Gray
The Club is pleased to announce that Richard and Mary Gray will be the 2015 Harvard Club Honorees. Richard is one of America’s foremost modern and contemporary art dealers and Mary is an art historian and author. Together the couple has amassed a major collection of works of art on paper many of which were exhibited in 2010 at the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC). The collection housed in the Gray Galleries of the AIC was documented in a book entitled Gray Collection - Seven Centuries of Art. Many of these works will be donated or have already been donated to the AIC. The Grays have been major benefactors to the Smart Museum at the University of Chicago and endowed the Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry at its Logan Art Center. Further, Mr. Gray played a major role in the National Trust’s acquisition of Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois.

James B. Cuno
The Club is privileged to have as its dinner speaker James B. Cuno. Mr. Cuno is the President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust in California. He is the former Director of the Harvard Art Museums, the Courtauld Institute and the Art Institute of Chicago. James Cuno has always been a great friend of the Harvard Club of Chicago and received his A.M. and Ph.D. in the History of Art from Harvard University. Mr. Cuno is also a prolific author and his latest books are entitled Who Owns Antiquity and Museums Matter: In Praise of Encyclopedic Museums. Said Mr. Cuno, “The power and promise of encyclopedic museums is that by preserving and presenting examples of the world’s cultures, they offer their visitors the world in all of its rich diversity. In doing so, they protect and advance the idea of openness and integration in a changing world.”
