Miscellaneous art exhibition catalog collection, (bulk 1915-1925)
4.0 linear ft. (partially filmed on 2 microfilm reels)
Reel(s): 4858-4859
Primarily exhibition catalogs for modernist art held in in New York City during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Also included are catalogs for Boston exhibitions, mainly pre-1900, and a few other locales; exhibition announcements; gallery publications; and other printed material.
The bulk of the collection was donated 1979 by the American Antiquarian Society, who presumably assembled them from various sources. Others were received individually, while many are annotated in the hand of Walt Kuhn and are presumed to have originally been part of his papers in the Archives. In 2005, additional catalogs were integrated from Garnett McCoy's (Curator of Manuscripts) office files, some of which are presumed to have been removed from various collections over the years.
