Sandler, Irving, 1925-. Irving Sandler papers, ca. 1950-2000.

Title: Irving Sandler papers, ca. 1950-2000.

The Irving Sandler Papers comprehensively document the career of an American critic who chronicled and commented upon the contemporary art scene for five decades. The foundation of Sandler's biographical approach to art criticism is the informal interview or "conversation" with the artist; the archive comprises all Sandler's notes, transcripts, and audio tapes of these encounters. Though the core of the archive is the material about 1950s abstract expressionist artists, artists and art movements of subsequent decades are amply documented, with special attention to Alex Katz, Phillip Pearlstein, and Al Held. Sandler also took copious notes on panel discussions; such notes appear in several series, and form the foundation of the Art Professional series which, like the Artists series, spans five decades. Notes on panel discussions are also central to the Organizations and Associations series, and in particular to the documentation of the Artists' Club, of which Sandler was Program Director for seven years. Many interviews and panels from Series I through V were also recorded and appear in Series XIV, Audiotapes and Videotapes. The Organizations and Associations series reflects, along with Sandler's role as critic, his active support for emergent artists. The Artists' Space files chronicle the difficulty of establishing a physical space, and also deal with management issues and controversies plaguing early exhibitions. The same series details Sandler's involvement in academic and curatorial organizations, for which he served on the directing board, as he did for numerous foundations and commissions, documented in Series IV. Sandler's career as a professor, independent curator, and reviewer is documented in Series V. through IX. Correspondence is professional, with editors regarding reviewing assignments, with curators regarding exhibitions, and with university administrators regarding promotion. Sandler's longstanding column for The New York Post appears in typescript in Series VI. Writings and in clippings in Series XIII. Printed Matter. Printed Matter also contains an interesting assortment of announcements and brochures for exhibitions Sandler presumably attended.
