Patricia Faure Gallery records, 1952-2006, bulk 1970-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/776641400

The Patricia Faure Gallery records document the activities of the gallery when it was known as Asher/Faure from 1979 to 1994 and under Faure's own name from 1994 to 2008. The archive provides a glimpse into the history of one of Los Angeles's renowned galleries as well as into the evolving taste and buying habits of its collectors. The artist files in Series I form the bulk of the archive and document the artists Faure exhibited, including Llyn Foulkes, Sam Francis, Wade Hoefer, John M. Miller, Margaret Nielsen, John Okulick, and Joel Shapiro. This section contains mostly exhibition announcements and photographic images of artists' works in the form of prints, transparencies, slides and negatives. Faure's interest in mixing established New York artists with newer Los Angeles artists is exemplified in the exhibition files in Series II. The first section of the series contains group shows held between 1979-2006 and comprise mostly of photographs as well as exhibition announcements and clippings. Also included in this section are business papers such as sales and inventory lists, correspondence and resumes. The second portion of Series II features a group of color slides documenting both group and solo shows between 1983-1992. Series III contains mostly financial papers for both Asher/Faure and Patricia Faure Gallery from 1978-2006 and includes gallery sales, financial reports and tax papers. A small section of personal papers belonging to Faure which contains mostly insurance and financial papers is in Series IV.
