Marcia Tucker papers, 1957-2005.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77946406

The collection documents Marcia Tucker's uniquely intertwined personal and professional activity from her work as a cataloger for private collections, to curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1968, through her retirement from the Founding Directorship of the New Museum in 2000. Museum files from the Whitney, comprising acquisitions, studio visits, interoffice memos, and minutes of meetings, reflect the institutional practices and aesthetic standards that Tucker ebulliently questioned. Her firing from the Whitney is portrayed in correspondence and clippings, as is her subsequent creation of an experimental institution, the New Museum. The evolution of Tucker's prescient, influential ideas about contemporary art, art exhibition, and museum management is evident in exhibition files, writings, lectures, and in her collection of writings by others.
