Material collected by Fraser. The collection consists primarily of notices and programs of exhibitions of East German artists along with a number of exhibition reviews in the form of newspaper articles. Many of the exhibitions date from the 1980's. Some of the material postdates the Reunification. There are also numerous publications, mostly individual issues of journals and newspapers containing articles concerning communism and the arts, especially in East Germany. Smaller subsets of the collection consist of advertisement brochures from East German publishers of illustrated books; brochures for East German industrial design schools; East German architectural pamphlets; assorted papers in an envelope labeled Ingrid Goltsche and containing a small pen and ink sketch; a photograph taken by Heinz Krüger, Bildreporter; a xerox of an unidentified photograph attached to a folded poster, both with handwritten annotations by Fraser; programs from the Maxim Gorki Theater in Berlin; and one catalog from an art exhibition (in Hungary). In addition to various individual galleries and institutions represented, some of the material is connected with the Museum der Bildenden Künste in Leipzig, the Kulturbund der DDR, or various Bezirke of the Verband Bildender Künstler.
