7.2: Printed Matter Produced by Others, 1824-1865, 1920-1969, undated
Printed matter produced by others (3 linear feet) includes exhibition catalogs; checklists; invitations and announcements; newsclippings; press releases; and press kits. This material relates to shows that included works loaned by the Downtown Gallery, or concerns the Edith Gregor Halpert Collection and other subjects related to Halpert and the Downtown Gallery.
There are also publications which include miscellaneous brochures, reports, directories, prospectuses, and catalogs of a variety of organizations, associations, museums, and foundations; most, but not all, are art related. Of particular interest are Standards for Print Dealers, formulated by the Print Council of America (undated); How It Happened, by Albert C. Barnes (undated); Where to Buy American Art (undated); A Disgrace to Philadelphia , by Albert C. Barnes (1938); The Progressive Decay of the Pennsylvania Museum of Art, by Harry Fuiman, Esq., of the Philadelphia Bar (1938), published by Friends of Art and Education; Memorial Service for Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (May 23, 1948); and Spatialism 5: Don Avigliano, John Moshisky, Stephane Zarhadka (1949).
Additionally, a selection of twenty-five volumes from the library of Edith Gregor Halpert has been retained, but not microfilmed.
In general, material is arranged by record type and then chronologically. Some of the newsclipping files are arranged by topic.
