Cash disbursements are mainly for Howard Wise's travel and entertainment expenses. Memoranda and correspondence between Cleveland and New York Galleries include debit and credit memoranda and concern sales, inventory, and shipments.
The notebooks (64 small pocket volumes) contain brief notes on paintings, names and addresses, appointments and schedules, reminders, and a few lecture notes. Sales records consist of accounts paid, arranged by purchaser, and copies of sales receipts arranged chronologically. Slides consist of approximately 800 images of artworks and installation views.
A number of records pertain to the management of Howard Wise's personal art collection and date to the period following the closure of the Howard Wise Gallery. Records related to loans document loans of works by George McNeil, including correspondence with McNeil, and Jan Muller.
