Wolfgang Stoerchle papers, 1952-2007.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/664319559

The archive contains documentation of work produced by Stoerchle during his short career, as well as a small amount of personal material. A key component of the archive is a set of half-inch open-reel tapes documenting Stoerchle's experiments with video. In addition to his well-known works, the videos also include documentation of some of Stoerchle's lesser-known works, such as a live performance with Viva, some of his more provocative performances, and a television "dinner" performance produced with Allan Kaprow, Emmett Williams, and Helene Winer. Also included are audiotapes of Stoerchle's sound works and a slide and sound installation. The archive contains a small number of works by other artists, including early reels by Nam June Paik and William Wegman, and sound works by Daniel Lentz produced in honor of Stoerchle. Also included in the papers are photographs, negatives, slides and transparencies of performances, sculptures and drawings Stoerchle produced throughout his career. Stoerchle's childhood is represented by a few family photographs and images of drawings and sculptures he made in his youth. Among the limited correspondence are letters received by Stoerchle, personal letters between him and his second wife, Carol Lingham, and letters to Lingham following Stoerchle's death, including some lengthy remembrances by friends. The archive also contains an extensive set of press clippings about Stoerchle during his lifetime. Much of the archive was assembled by Lingham after Stoerchle's death.
