Johnson Collection curatorial records, 1917-1973, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78446305

The John G. Johnson Collection is comprised of more than 1,200 European paintings and sculpture amassed by corporate lawyer John Graver Johnson between the early 1880s and his death in 1917. The collection is owned by the City of Philadelphia, but administered by and housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Johnson Collection Curatorial Records document the administrative and curatorial activities of Henri Marceau and Barbara Sweeny, curators of the collection from 1926 to 1972, and includes correspondence, attribution research, writings, and photographs. The bulk of the material was generated after the move of the Johnson Collection from its original location at 510 South Broad Street to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1933.
