"Museums are the sum total of successive generations of visionary leaders and generous donors. Each director leaves his or her mark on the institution and then hopes that future generations will look kindly on the record. But rarely will a former director care so deeply for an institution that they continue to support the museum and the directors who follow. Charlie Millard is such a person. Brilliant, elegant, and entirely too modest, Charlie has had a museum career that led him from graduate studies at Harvard University to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. It was the Ackland Art Museum's good fortune the Charlie came to direct the museum in 1986 ? [After his retirement] Charlie did what he loves the best: he looked at a great deal of art, brought all of his judgement and experience to bear, and acquired important works for the museum. ? hardly a month would pass without a call from Charlie to let us know that new works were being shipped to the museum. Charlie intimately knows this collection - our strengths and our gaps - but he also has his own very particular tastes and interests. Because of this rare combination, each of the works enriches and adds an important aspect to the permanent collection and reflects the singular vision of this donor." - Emily Kass.
