Correspondence with Carl Zigrosser, 1916-1971, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155899805

This collection is comprised of 3 folders of general correspondence to and from the Weyhe Gallery. The letters are primarily from other businesses (bookstores, publishers, art dealers, collectors, museums) with which the Weyhe Gallery did business. Letters from after Zigrosser's 1940 departure ask him for background on old issues. In the file is an exchange of letters between Carl Zigrosser and Erhard Weyhe from the summer of 1940, when Zigrosser resigned from the Weyhe Gallery and accepted a position at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. There are also earlier drafts of letters in which Zigrosser details his grievences with the Gallery. Another subject of a group of letters is a controversy with the Cleveland Print Makers and their selling of some prints by Rockwell Kent. Other correspondents in the file include Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jean Crotti, Rose Krasner, Alexander Archipenko, Martha Dickinson, and Simon Moselsio Included in these files of general correspondence to and from the Weyhe Gallery is a scrapbook containing accounts and clippings of reviews from 1916 to 1922, press releases, brochures, an appraisal of the J. H. Seaman collection, some drawings by an unidentified artist, and two drypoint prints by Peggy Bacon.
