New Painting (Premium Position)

New Painting (Period of Significance)

How do you know you’re in a premium position to:

agitate, sell your car, interfere with an election,

compromise, come out, perform, join, look for a new job,

show an artwork, make a lane change, strike, call a friend

for advice, get pregnant, speak, write, marry, get a dog,

blow the whistle, borrow money, move, take the lead,

respond, submit, commit, abort, have surgery, say no, say

yes, cut to the chase, share, comment, cover it up,

separate, sign, direct, invest, divest, adopt, tell it like

it is, start a movement, leave the country, step down, give

advice, get high, give it a rest

Two other considerations affect evaluation of significance:

association and period of significance. Association refers

to the direct connection between the ARTWORK and the time

of significance for which it is nominated. For an ARTWORK

to be significant under historic events (Criterion A), the

physical structure must have been there to "witness" the

event or series of events; they must have actually

occurred. For an ARTWORK to be significant for an

association with an ARTIST (Criterion B), the ARTIST should

have lived, worked, or been on the premises during the

period in which the ARTIST accomplished the activities for

which the ARTIST is considered significant. Period of

significance refers to the span of time during which

significant events and activities occurred. Events and

associations with ARTISTS are finite; most ARTWORKS have a

clearly definable period of significance.

An ARTWORK is evaluated for its integrity: the authenticity

of physical characteristics from which ARTWORKS obtain

their significance. When ARTWORKS retain historic material

and form, they are able to convey their association with

events, people, and designs from the past.

All ARTISTS change over time. Changes do not necessarily

mean that an ARTIST is not eligible; but, if they have

radical changes, they may no longer retain enough historic

fabric, and may not be eligible for the _____________.

Historic integrity is the composite of seven qualities:

location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling

and association.

Contributing ARTWORKS are those ARTWORKS identified as

“Contributing” in the Historic Resources survey for the

___________. Generally, “Contributing” ARTWORKS will have

been built within the historic Period of Significance of

the ARTIST, and will retain elements that identify it as

belonging to that period. The historic period of

significance of the ARTIST is usually the time period in

which the majority of construction in the area occurred.

In some instances, ARTWORKS that are compatible with the

ARTWORKS of that period or that are historic in their own

right, but were built outside of the Period of

Significance, will also be “Contributing”.

Non-contributing ARTWORKS are those ARTWORKS identified as

not retaining their historic character as a result of un-

reversible alterations, or as having been built outside of

the Period of Significance or because they are vacant lots.
