The complete business records of the Galleria dell'Ariete, Milan. It includes business correspondence, photographic documentation of the individual works of art exhibited, business diaries and financial records, registration records, press cuttings, exhibition catalogs, and a card index of stock sales. The business correspondence (1955-1980) is arranged by date and region (Europe, America, and Asia) and represents mostly carbon copies of outgoing letters drafted by staff and directors. It offers detailed information on the exhibition and movement of works of art, sales, prices, commissions, collectors, and terms of interest. The correspondence is mostly with artists, museums, galleries, dealers and collectors. Also includes correspondence from Ariete Grafica (1955-1977). The photographic documentation of exhibitions and works of art that passed through the gallery is organized by artist or exhibition name and includes photographs of artists and opening events. Ugo Mulas, [Hans?] Namuth, Carlo Cisventi, and Vincenzo Satta were among the photographers whose work is included. The business diaries and financial records give a daily account of expenses of the gallery, bank statements, receipt and sales of work, but are incomplete. Also includes a complete set of posters; a complete edition of exhibition catalogs (1955-1977); and two scrapbooks with a file of additional clippings, organized by exhibition number, that offer a complete record of press releases and articles on the exhibitions and gallery activities. Artists represented in the collection include: Appel; Arakawa; Cascella; Castellani; Dorazio; Sam Francis; Helen Frankenthaler; King; Merlotti; Saura; Sutherland; Takahashi; and Tapies.
