Title: Curatorial Office Records of Charles Cunningham, 1973-1977.

Born in 1910 in Mamaroneck, NY, Charles C. Cunningham attended Harvard and became a curator at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1935. From 1941 to 1966 he was the director of Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum. He went on to become director of the Art Institute of Chicago until he retired from this position in 1972. George Heard Hamilton, then director of the Clark, invited Cunningham to become chief curator. Cunningham was responsible for two major exhibits at the Clark, The Elegant Academics in 1974 and Jongkind and the Pre-Impressionists: The Painters of the Ecole Saint-Simeon in 1976. He also initiated the Conservation Laboratory, which opened in 1977. Cunningham retired from the Clark that year and died in 1979. The Curatorial Office Records of Charles C. Cunningham primarily contain correspondence about potential museum acquisitions and discussions of loans with staff at other museums. Due to his long and respected career, Cunningham had many acquaintances and close friends among curators and directors at other art institutions, as well as among art historians and dealers. The correspondence in these records includes numerous exchanges about intellectual and business concerns in the art world. The high esteem and affection his peers felt for him is evidenced in letters that blur the line between professional and personal. Other materials in this series include: class lists and grades, assignments, and correspondence with students from several courses taught by Cunningham; CAI memoranda; and financial records about costs of exhibits and loans.

Carnegie Corporation of New York. Study of Arts of the United States. Correspondence with Carl Zigrosser, 1956-1961, n.d.

Title: Correspondence with Carl Zigrosser, 1956-1961, n.d.

In 1956, the University of Georgia approached Carl Zigrosser to participate in a Carnegie Corporation grant to "survey, collect and distributematerials for the study of art in the United States." The University was asking historians to act as specialist in an arts discipline, write an essay covering their area and submit a list of the 250 most important historic and aesthetic images. Zigrosser was asked to be the consultant for 19th century graphic arts (to include drawings). The goal was the creation of large slide sets featuring the most important examples of American art. Early correspondence was with Martha Davidson and Lamar Dodd. Later letters are also from William Pierson and Lloyd Goodrich. The correspondence covers the intricacies of Zigrosser's approach as an art historian, and the mundanities of expense accounts. Copies of bills and receipts, and carbons of letters and preliminary lists reflect the locations and collections Zigrosser went to to generate his final selection. Private collectors approached by Zigrosser include: Harry T. Peters,Harold H. Kynett, Gilbert McClintock, Irving Olds, and Henry Shattuck. Dealers included Kennedy Galleries and The Old Print Shop. Institutions that contributed images were the New York Historical Society, American Antiquarian Society, Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Zigrosser's list of 19th century graphics and his essay were warmly received and used as models within the project. In 1958, with his section wrapped-up, Zigrosser was enlisted to take over the 20th century garphics as well, that project having become stalled. Working from an existing list, Zigrosser resurrected the failing project and submitted his essay for that discipline. The end of the project is represented by newspaper clippings and flyers describing the project, and correspondence concerning the publication of the essays.

Evan H. Turner records, 1964-1978

Title: Evan H. Turner records 1964-1978

Evan H. Turner (born 1927), an art historian and scholar, was the Director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) from 1964 to 1978, leading the Museum through a period of significant growth and transformation. He created new art departments for American and 20th Century Art, and the innovative Department of Urban Outreach (DUO) to promote art across the City of Philadelphia. These progressive activities were matched by a groundbreaking exhibition in 1973, the Marcel Duchamp retrospective, which drew upon significant scholarship and assembled virtually the entire oeuvre of one of the most important artists represented in the Museum. In 1975, Turner led the Museum in a major construction project to install a new climate control system in the building, and in 1976, he helped plan the United States’ Bicentennial and the PMA’s Centennial celebrations. Turner was an active member of a number of professional organizations, as well as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. The Evan H. Turner records document Turner’s tenure as Director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) from 1934 to 1978 (bulk: 1964-1978). A mix of correspondence, inter-office memoranda, reports, minutes and other records provide ample evidence of Turner’s leading position in the Museum’s growth and transformation during that time, as well as exhibition and event planning, and the daily operations of the Museum. The collection also documents Turner’s work with professional organizations, his efforts to help the City plan the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations, and his professorship at the University of Pennsylvania.

FOCUS archives, 1972-1975

Title: FOCUS archives 1972-1975

"FOCUS: Philadelphia Focuses on Women in the Visual Arts" was a city-wide arts program that occurred in April and May of 1974 and featured mostly East Coast artists and scholars. Initiated by Philadelphia painter Diane Burko, the two month program included art exhibitions, juried shows, panels, lectures, workshops, demonstrations and film viewings, all organized by Philadelphia-area women who were involved with the arts. The central event of the FOCUS program was “Women’s Work: American Art, 1974,” a contemporary art exhibit financed by and held in the Museum of the Philadelphia Civic Center. Other FOCUS events focused on topics such as race, history, and the realities of being a female artist.The records in the FOCUS collection date from 1972 to 1975 and include meeting minutes from various FOCUS committees, outreach and advertising documents, correspondence, and records of the grant application process. Despite the relatively brief existence of the initiative, the deliberate documentation of FOCUS programs by internal committees makes this collection an especially comprehensive representation of the group’s activities.

Title: Henry P. McIlhenny papers, 1817-1988, n.d. ; bulk: 1934-1986.

The Henry P. McIlhenny Papers document the privileged and urbane lifestyle of the man whose tastes and talents earned him a reputation as one of America's top 10 art collectors, particularly of 19th century French and English paintings and drawings, as well as a world traveler, host extraordinaire, philanthropist and generous friend. Although Henry McIlhenny is the primary creator, this collection encompasses the art collections initiated by his parents, John D. and Frances P. McIlhenny, which passed, along with the family trust fund, on to McIlhenny and his sister, Bernice ("Bonnie") Wintersteen. Much of the material deals with McIlhenny's activities from the mid-1930s to his final years, with particularly extensive documentation of his art collection, which also includes decorative arts and sculpture, and his homes, which encompasses his penchant for interior design and his passion for horticulture. Also well documented are his many years of service to and support of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Academy of Music, and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The records of McIlhenny's finances are extensive as well. Invoices and receipts are included throughout the collection and document extraordinary to everyday purchases, offering a snapshot study of class economics and consumerism. While correspondence and invoices make up the bulk of material, the collection also includes many photographs, clippings, monthly statements and reports, and to a lesser extent, account books, appraisals, catalogs, ephemera, legal documents, drawings and fabric swatches.

The records date from 1951 to 1984, the bulk dating from 1970 to 1980, and include correspondence, exhibit planning documentation, photographs and scrapbooks, information concerning artists involved in various projects, and some general research files concerning related events and initiatives in the art community. While the collection does not provide comprehensive documentation of all aspects of the Department, it does include a wide variety of resources that demonstrate the Department’s intentions of appealing to culturally, economically and ethnically diverse communities. Of particular interest are the numerous records documenting exhibits and outreach programs, such as the Environmental Art and “Wall Art” programs.

Beede, Carl Greenleaf. Papers, 1927-1949.

Title: Papers, 1927-1949.

This collection primarily contains the research notes, photographs, and typed manuscripts of Carl Greenleaf Beede from 1927-1949. Most items relate to a series of articles on early American furniture that Beede wrote for the Christian Science Monitor during the 1920s and 1930s. These include not only numerous photos, but also biographical notes, bibliographies, time-lines, history charts, and correspondence with other scholars and collectors. Some articles and pamphlets by other scholars also form part of the collection. An outline and notes for a book on American furniture is also included. The book was scheduled to contain a chapter on the history of American furniture collecting, collectors, and collections, but it was apparently never published. Beede gathered some of his information by writing to museums and asking them about their collection development policies on early American furniture. He received a number of replies which are also found in the collection.

Kimball, Fiske, 1888-1955. Fiske Kimball records, 1908-1955.

Title: Fiske Kimball records, 1908-1955.

From 1925 to 1955, Fiske Kimball served as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, steering the institution from what he described as "a minor provincial position to become one of the leading museums of America." The Fiske Kimball Records document Kimball's efforts in achieving this transformation in collaboration with the Museum's officers, staff, and the Fairmount Park Commission, and with the assistance of private benefactors and City funding. Comprised primarily of correspondence, these records also include photographs, mostly of objects, rooms and architectural elements offered for purchase; ephemera; newspaper clippings; notes; floor plans; installation drawings; legal documents; reports; minutes; press releases; and publications. Kimball's correspondents include preeminent leaders of art museums, universities, auction houses and professional affiliations, as well as government representatives, private collectors, scholars, and artists. Kimball's often successful courting of potential donors of objects and contributors of funds is well represented, as well as his efforts to secure labor supplied by the Works Progress Administration. In addition to the refinement and expansion of the Museum's holdings, the development of various departments and offices is also documented, and to a lesser extent other related facilities.
