The Dedalus Foundation's Robert Motherwell scrapbooks, 1946-2000.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/670140660

The Robert Motherwell Scrapbooks document Motherwell's long artistic career. The majority of the Scrapbooks consist of exhibition invitations, brochures, catalogues, and reviews and articles by such noted art critics as John Canaday, Dore Ashton, Hilton Kramer, Peter Schjeldahl, John Russell, Clement Greenberg, Emily Genauer, and Grace Glueck. Motherwell's name is usually underlined or circled within these documents. There is an emphasis on Motherwell's transition from painting to collage-making, and other themes include Motherwell's interest in teaching and literature, his involvement with politics and activism, and his achievements and innovations as an artist. The majority of the collection centers on the middle years, from the 1970s to the early 1990s.
