Heim Gallery. Heim Gallery records, 1965-1991.

Title: Heim Gallery records, 1965-1991.

The Heim Gallery records document the business of the gallery, its cultivation of clients in Europe and the United States, and the production of its scholarly exhibitions especially for the period between 1966 and 1988. The correspondence with museums, individual clients and suppliers and experts comprise the greater part of the collection. Photographs of art works, financial papers, research and publicity files, and Andrew Ciechanowiecki's personal business files make up the rest of the archive. The correspondence series contains letters received and the gallery's copies of letters sent. Letters reflect the gallery's offers to museums and individual collectors, curators' requests for works for their collections or for assistance in finding works needed for exhibitions. The letters also document business strategies and Ciechanowiecki's collaborations with museums and his solid scholarly contributions to exhibitions. The letters also reveal his close personal association with Poland and its artistic patrimony. A separate group of correspondence concerns the sale of the Heim Gallery. There are no personal papers in the archive. Photographs of art works are organized by medium: paintings, drawings, sculpture, furniture and decorative arts, and represent works sold, with additional images of items before restoration, and art works documented for research or commercial reasons. Research notes, printed brochures, and photographs illustrate the production of exhibitions at the Heim Gallery. Research files contain notes, numerous study photographs, and some printed matter, organized by artist, school or medium. Many research files represent works offered to the gallery but rejected. Financial records include stockbooks, ledgers and cash books, as well as invoices, paid bills, and documents related to shipping and taxes. Financial records do not appear to be complete. Gallery publicity is documented through clippings, guest books, and photographs that show members of royalty attending exhibits at the gallery.

Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. Director's Office Records, 1955-1977.

Title: Director's Office Records, 1955-1977.

The Director's Office records 1955-1977 are comprised almost entirely of business correspondence between the Director of the museum and other people and institutions though other records, such as receipts and publications, are occasionally present. During this nascent phase of the museum the Director's Office handled almost all aspects of business and consequently these files reflect a wide spectrum of museum concerns including publicity, acquisitions, finances, staff hiring, construction, and expansion of the museum. Some files are devoted to individuals and institutions while others are labelled with subjects such as Inquiries, Acquisitions, and Employment. The subject headings and content of the materials remains quite consistent throughout the years, even through the tenures of different Directors.
