Art Collins Papers, 1959-2005, undated.

The Art Collins Papers span the years 1959 to 2005, with the bulk of the papers dating between 1986 and 2004. The collection provides rich documentation of Collins' role as an artist manager. The documents pertain to the careers of the artists Collins managed, with Iggy Pop as the primary focus of the collection but including other artists like Marianne Faithful and the Rolling Stones. The legal papers consist of song licensing contracts, tour information, album release information, royalty contracts and statements, and press releases. Other material related to Collins' clients includes correspondence, newspaper and periodical clippings, audiovisual and printed material. The collection also contains audiovisual and printed materials from Collins' personal music collection. These items span a wide range of rock groups (including John Lennon) and consist of periodicals, newspapers, VHS and 3/4-inch videocassettes, audiocassettes, and DVD-video discs. Collins' papers focus on illustrating the impact of Iggy Pop on punk music, but also provide a behind-the-scenes look at being an artist and manager in the rock music industry.
