Records of the Curator of Paintings, 1957-1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/263151255

This series contains two distinct groups of material. The first is the combined files of David Cass, curator of paintings from 1973-1985 and Alexandra (Alixe) Murphy, his successor from 1985-1988. The second is a series of files about the paintings collection from an unidentified source from the 1950s and 1960s. In the first group Cass's material is roughly separated from Murphy's but all of the files were apparently in Murphy's possession during her tenure as curator of paintings and they are intermingled in places. There are also some files from Moira Jones, curatorial/registrarial secretary, and John Hallmark Neff, assistant curator. These files contain correspondence, memoranda, and research materials about the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's collection, acquisitions, conservation work, loans, and exhibitions. There are also files on departmental matters such as staffing and budgets. The second group of material dates from the 1950s and 1960s and the creator is not identified but the files clearly relate to the paintings collection. The records primarily consist of exhibit label planning including handwritten notes, typed drafts of the labels, and photographs of the artwork being described. The records also include news clippings about the museum and drafts of exhibit catalogues.
