Kahn, Louis I., 1901-1974. Louis I. Kahn architectural records and personal papers, ca. 1908-1984.

Title: Louis I. Kahn architectural records and personal papers, ca. 1908-1984.

This collection comprises the entire professional archive of Louis I. Kahn, with the addition of personal materials. After Kahn's death, his estate faced substantial financial obligations, primarily wages and professional fees to consultants, and the decision was made to liquidate the assets of the firm. The entire archive was purchased in 1976 by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and was placed on permanent loan to the University of Pennsylvania the following year. The trustees of the University assumed responsibility for making the collection available for scholarly research, exhibition and publication. After the projects still under construction at Kahn's death were brought to completion, documentation for those projects was donated to the Architectural Archives by Kahn's former associates. Personal materials were donated to the Architectural Archives by family and friends. Additional materials continue to be received. Architectural drawings in Kahn's own hand include sketches for his built works and also a large number of important designs for works which were never built. His professional writings, published and unpublished, document his personal philosophy of architecture and his perspective on the architecture and urban planning of his time. Substantial documentation is found in this collection for all Kahn's mature works. Materials may include preliminary sketches, schematic drawings, design development drawings, construction drawings, construction photographs, office files and models. In addition, the collection includes photographs of completed buildings by distinguished photographers. Kahn's archive contains drawings by his associates and employees; no attempt has been made to identify and index drawings by a particular associate or employee. Oscar Stonorov and George Howe were his associates for a number of earlier projects. Anne Griswold Tyng made substantial design contributions to several Kahn projects. The national capital of Bangladesh at Dhaka was completed by David Wisdom & Associates (David Wisdom, Henry Wilcots and Reyhan T. Larimer). The Yale Center for British Art was completed by Pellechia and Meyers (Anthony Pellechia and Marshall D. Meyers). Professional correspondence includes letters to and from major architects of Kahn's period. Correspondence has not been indexed. Personal materials include childhood sketches, travel sketches, personal and family photographs, drawing materials and drafting equipment. In addition, a small amount of personal correspondence is found mixed in with professional correspondence. The collection contains only one student drawing from Kahn's architectural education at the University of Pennsylvania.

Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. Records of the Curator of Paintings, 1957-1989.

Title: Records of the Curator of Paintings, 1957-1989.

This series contains two distinct groups of material. The first is the combined files of David Cass, curator of paintings from 1973-1985 and Alexandra (Alixe) Murphy, his successor from 1985-1988. The second is a series of files about the paintings collection from an unidentified source from the 1950s and 1960s. In the first group Cass's material is roughly separated from Murphy's but all of the files were apparently in Murphy's possession during her tenure as curator of paintings and they are intermingled in places. There are also some files from Moira Jones, curatorial/registrarial secretary, and John Hallmark Neff, assistant curator. These files contain correspondence, memoranda, and research materials about the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's collection, acquisitions, conservation work, loans, and exhibitions. There are also files on departmental matters such as staffing and budgets. The second group of material dates from the 1950s and 1960s and the creator is not identified but the files clearly relate to the paintings collection. The records primarily consist of exhibit label planning including handwritten notes, typed drafts of the labels, and photographs of the artwork being described. The records also include news clippings about the museum and drafts of exhibit catalogues.

Manton, Edwin Alfred Grenville, 1909-2005. Records of Edwin Alfred Grenville Manton, 1927-2005.

Title: Records of Edwin Alfred Grenville Manton, 1927-2005.

Born January 22, 1909 in Essex, England, 20 miles from Constable's birth place, Edwin "Jim" / "Jimmy" Alfred Grenville Manton grew up and was educated in Britain. In 1933 he joined the fledgling American International Underwriter group in New York as a casualty underwriter. He rose through the company to become Vice President in 1938, President between 1942 and 1969, Chairman between 1969 and 1975 and Senior Advisor from 1975 until his death in October 2005. He was a lifelong collector of British art, notably Constable. In 1988 he established the American Fund for the Tate Gallery with an endowment of $6.5 million. He made further gifts in 1992 and 1997, totaling tens of millions of dollars, towards the centenary development and other projects at Tate Britain. He was knighted in 1994. In June 2007 the Manton Foundation donated a significant collection of British paintings, oil sketches, watercolors, and other works on paper by J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, and Thomas Gainsborough to the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. The Foundation also contributed $50 million to endow the Clark's Research and Academic Program. This series contains records relating to objects which do not belong to that gift to the Clark; much of the content is correspondence of one sort or another. This series is a small subsection of Manton's extant records and since the content was drawn from a larger collection of documents and was compiled and assembled in piecemeal fashion, the materials are loosely arranged. Some folders contain clusters of correspondence with an individual or institution or refer to an object. The records include: correspondence with art dealers, especially Oscar and Peter Johnson, Ackerman and Johnson, Leger Galleries, Spink and Sons, Spink-Leger, Salander-O'Reilly Galleries; correspondence with art historians, notably Leslie Parris who worked with and for Manton to produce a catalogue of Manton's Constable collection; correspondence with other people involved with the project to produce a catalogue of Manton's Constable collection; correspondence (a few letters) with Sir Nicholas Serota and other officials and directors at the (then) Tate Gallery; correspondence with several national art galleries about potential loans for public art exhibitions (Yale Center for British Art, National Gallery, London, National Gallery, Washington); color slides and photographs of objects which, for the most part, Manton decided not to purchase; invoices and receipts from art dealers for objects which Manton purchased; correspondence with the Art Loss Register and Kroll Associates, a private investigation company which attempted to recover Manton's lost art; correspondence with security consultants and insurers; letters of thanks which Manton received from the recipients of his Constable catalogue; page proofs for the Constable catalogue; page proofs from the Constable supplement catalogue; newspapers and newspaper clippings relating to Constable and his work and to repatriated works of art taken by the Nazis; AIG brochures; records of art works for insurance purposes; correspondence with the Salmagundi Club concerning an exhibit of John Constable works belonging to Manton.

Meyers, Marshall D. (Marshall David), 1931-2001. Marshall D. Meyers architectural records and papers, 1945-2001 (bulk 1957-1980).

Title: Marshall D. Meyers architectural records and papers, 1945-2001 (bulk 1957-1980).

The collection comprises student drawings, project-related architectural drawings, photographic materials, professional and personal papers, writings, lectures, interviews, audio tapes, motion pictures, and architectural models. A large portion of this collection relates to the architectural works of Louis I. Kahn. See the Louis I. Kahn Collections (Coll. 030, Coll. 217) for other materials in the Architectural Archives related to Kahn's professional practice. Examples of Meyers' student drawings from both Pratt Institute and Yale University are preserved, along with an extensive number of project-related architectural drawings. Most important is the extensive documentation of the Yale Center for British Art, a project begun in 1967 by Louis I. Kahn and completed after his death by Meyers and Anthony Pellecchia. The collection contains 580 drawings related to this project - presentation, design, construction, and shop drawings, dated 1972-1978. The collection contains plexiglas study models for the Memorial to the Six Million Jewish Martyrs. Meyers was a skilled photographer who produced a remarkable body of images documenting numerous projects by Kahn as well as his own works and travels. Meyers extensive photography of Kahn's Richards Medical Research Building, the Kimbell Art Museum, and the Yale Center for British Art, are unparalleled in quality and variety of views. The collection also contains a small number of images by the following photographers: Elna Wilkinson; Eileen C. Ahrenholtz; Bob Wharton; Gabriel DeLobbe; George Cserna; Cervin Robinson; and Tom Brown. In addition to project photography, the collection includes numerous travel photographs and motion pictures. Of particular note are photographs of the Triennale di Milano, Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation (Marseille), and the studio of noted sculptor Henry Moore (all taken in 1954), and motion picture images of the Salk Institute of Biological Studies (under construction in 1964) and Expo 67 in Montreal. The collection includes a number of photo portraits and motion pictures of Meyers and his family as well as Louis I. Kahn and B. Frank Schlesinger. One of the most extraordinary items in the collection is an eight minute black & white print (with negative) of the 1961 holiday party at Louis I. Kahn's office. This motion picture is a rare, informal look at Kahn, his staff and friends. Attendees included: Robert Venturi, Alan Levy, Richard Saul Wurman, Robert Le Ricolais, David C.S. Polk, among others. Meyers preserved a substantial number of project and office files. Files related to Kahn projects include "drafting room" files for the Kimbell Art Museum, Inner Harbor project, Memorial to the Six Million Jewish Martyrs, and the Yale Center for British Art. Also related to Kahn are papers documenting his involvement in the planning of the Louis I. Kahn Retrospective project for the Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles) and his pivotal role in preventing a proposed expansion to the Kimbell Art Museum. His files include correspondence with William Jordy, Louis I. Kahn, George Kubler, Paul Mellon, Henry Moore, Robert A.M. Stern, Walter Gropius (to Kahn) and Robert Venturi. Materials related to his professional life are found in his resume and AIA fellowship files. Meyers' experiences working for Kahn are well documented by his numerous writings, lectures and interviews. Of particular note is a lecture he gave on the occasion of the exhibition, "The Construction of the Kimbell Art Museum," held at the Museo d'arte, Mendrisio, Switzerland in 1997-1998. The collection includes his notes for this lecture, a transcript and book manuscript, as well as the slides used (found intact in a carousel). In addition, transcripts and audio tapes document interviews of Louis I. Kahn conducted by Meyers and William Marlin (of Architectural Forum), both from 1972, and William Jordy, from 1973. Personal and family items include richly illustrated reports and figure drawings completed while Meyers was a student at Niagara Falls High School, as well as yearbooks spanning the years he attended that school (1947-1949). Photography, home movies, letters and other family materials are included in the collection along with several notable books, many of which are autographed. These include Robert Venturi's Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, Venturi, Scott Brown and Izenour's Learning From Las Vegas (a first edition with original dust jacket), Scully's Architecture: The Natural and the Man Made, and Fred Angerer's Surface Structures in Building (cited as the source for the cycloid vault used at the Kimbell Art Museum).
