Collection includes correspondence, writings, and personal papers documenting the professional life of Russian-born artist Naum Gabo. Correspondence features incoming correspondence from other artists, writers, and cultural institutions, arranged alphabetically by correspondent in General Correspondence, but there are also subdivisions for correspondence from family members, projects, finanical and legal instutitions, and unsorted material. Writings in the collection include original work by Gabo, most dating to the latter period of his life in the United States, such as the collection of essays on the fine arts, Of Divers Arts (1962), but also relating to his early The Realistic Manifesto, first published in Russia in 1920 and then in translation in 1957. Other material in the collection includes constructions, drawings, photographs, audiovisual materials, financial and legal records, printed materials, and personal papers, such as passports and family records. Audiovisual materials include audio recordings of talks by Gabo and 8mm and 16mm films of Gabo by Iyla Bolotowsky. In addition to Gabo's papers, there is a small amount of material relating to his older brother Antoine Pevsner.
