Paris Masters 1941-1951 (Bulliet, C. J.; Bucholz Gallery; Sweeney, James Johnson; Spaeth, Otto; Saidenberg, Gallery; Rome, Florence; A. P. Rosenberg and Co.; Glass, Beatrice; Perls Galleries; Louis Carré Gallery; Pierre Matisse Gallery; Zadok, Charles; Fogg Museum, Harvard University; Goldstone, Clarice; Art Institute of Chicago; Indiana University), Jun. 15-Jul. 13, 1951
Scope and Contents note
Materials documenting the planning and mounting of exhibitions at the Arts Club. The series includes general correspondence, exhibition announcements, exhibition catalogs from the Arts Club and elsewhere, negotiations for shipping and return of loaned pieces, correspondence from artists and artists’ representatives, correspondence with participating museums and art galleries, loan arrangements, price lists of individual works, insurance arrangements, publicity (clippings, ad proofs), contracts, and condition reports. General Correspondence folders contain requests for exhibits including promotional materials, correspondence regarding possible exhibits that never materialized, and loans of work from the Arts Club to other galleries. This is not an exhaustive list of Exhibitions; the Arts Club did have exhibitions for which there is no extant information (e.g. Paul Gaugin exhibit, 1938). See the Historical or Scrapbook Series for more information about exhibitions at the Arts Club. Files also include Arts Club Exhibitions that were held in the Art Institute of Chicago, in the 1920's.
Photographs of the artists, and/or photographs of artwork submitted were removed to the Audiovisual Series, Photographs - section. If the photographs show the art hanging in the Arts Club, they are arranged chronologically by date of the exhibition; otherwise, they are filed alphabetically by the artist's last name.
Names in parentheses after the name of the exhibition indicate prominent correspondents in the file. Some names, such as Arts Club staff (Alice Roullier, Isabel Jarvis, Rue W. Shaw, Margaret Benette, Grace Christensen, William N. Eisendrath, Stanley Freehling, Elizabeth "Bobsy" Goodspeed Chapman, Eleanor Hektoen, Isabel Jarvis, Robbin Lockett, Mabel Moats, Everett McNear, Rue W. Carpenter, Pat Scheidt, Paul Schweiker, Irene Tsatsos, Tamar Burchill, and Kathy Cottong), art galleries and dealers (Art Institute of Chicago, Julien Levy Gallery, Lucien Lefebvre-Foinet, Pierre Matisse, Gallagher and Ascher, Inc.), insurers (California Insurance Co., Klee, Rogers, Loeb and Wolff, Moore, Case, Lyman and Hubbard), and shippers (Railway Express Agency, Schumm Traffic Agency, W.S. Budworth and Son) are such frequent correspondents that they are not noted every time they appear in the file. There is significant correspondence from several prominent artists, Alexander Calder and Marcel Duchamp among them. Some Alexander Calder correspondence is bound together and kept in the Vault.
