Recent Acquisitions
Spring 2006

The Smithsonian's Archives of American Art exists to foster research and to enlarge the scope of American art history. It does so by collecting, preserving, and making available a wide variety of historically valuable records. Its collections comprise the world's largest single source for letters, diaries, financial records, unpublished writings, sketchbooks, scrapbooks, and photographs created by artists, critics, collectors, art dealers, and art societies-the raw material for scholarship.

This is the online version of the exhibition on view in the Archives’ New York City Research Center Gallery (March 13, 2006 through June 2006) highlighting recently acquired gifts to the Archives: the papers of sculptor Paul Suttman (1933-1993), painter Bob Thompson (1937-1966), and pioneer industrial designer Viktor Schreckengost (b. 1906)
