Richard McDermott Miller papers, 1962-2001.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/245521145

The papers of sculptor Richard McDermott Miller measure 3.4 linear feet and date from 1962 to 2001. Subject files reflect Miller's activities in New York City. Of particular interest is his pursuit of gallery representation, which led him to friendship and affiliation with Louis Pollack and the Peridot Gallery. There are also files relating to the Sculptors' Guild and the National Sculpture Society. Correspondence is mainly with other artists, patrons, and collectors. A significant portion of Richard McDermott Miller's papers relates to the National Academy of Design. Included are financial and legal records, correspondence, and minutes stemming from his involvement with the Academy. This series is especially rich for the period of his presidency, 1989-1992. The small number of photographs found in this collection are mainly promotional in nature, and some are annotated.
