Bates Lowry (June 23, 1923 March 12, 2004) was an art historian who was a director of the Museum of Modern Art and founding director of the National Building Museum. He taught at the University of Chicago, University of California, New York University Institute of Fine Arts, Pomona College, University of Massachusetts Boston, University of Delaware and Brown University. In 1966, he was a founder of the Committee to Rescue Italian Art to raise funds for the protection of Italian art endangered in Florence, Italy flooding. In 196869, he served as director the Museum of Modern Art. David Rockefeller, chairman of the museum, said he was dismissed because he had attempted to take on the job of curator of the painting and sculpture at the museum which caused strife in the department and because of a major renovation to his office without board approval. In 1980, he became founding director of the National Building Museum and oversaw the establishment and renovation of the 1881 Pension Building. This was published on the occasion of an exhibition of the same title shown at the National Building Museum, Washington, D. C. in the fall of 1985. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Selected from federal archives, the architectural drawings here range from early austere designs for the U.S. Capitol to several bold proposals for a Lincoln memorial, some of which are attributed to Rockwell Kent. There are works on a tiny scale of ornamental details while others are grand views of cities. Together the plates are a vivid, fascinating look at architectural vision and the construction process. Lowry devotes most of his attention to the design and construction of the Capitol and the mechanisms for overseeing the building of other federal edifices. He describes changing styles, which were largely adapted from Europe, and explores the politics and in-fighting over federal building design. Derived from the Library Journal: Between 1789 and 1912, the federal government constructed hundreds of post offices, court and custom houses, and office buildings across the country, designed by such renowned architects as Robert Mills, Ammi B. Young, and Alfred Mullet. This handsome catalog provide proof positive that quality and innovation were the rule rather than the exception. Museum director Lowry has written a perceptive, scholarly essay tracing the history of federal architecture from L'Enfant's monumental plan for Washington to the small-town post offices of James Knox Taylor. Among the many treasures contained in the catalog are the competition drawings for the Lincoln Memorial; these and over 100 others are carefully reproduced and annotated, making this volume an important addition to the literature.
