This collection includes a notebook of 110 photographs of the work of the American sculptor, David Hare, prepared by the artist. The images present a comprehensive, but not complete, catalog of his works from 1949 to 1962. Enclosed is a brief letter from the artist to Elsen in which he accepts Elson's offer of his "book on Rodin"; he says that, for him, Rodin is the greatest sculptor, and that he would like to read Elsen's "ideas on the Gates." In addition the collection comprises negatives and photographs that Elsen used in the course of his research and publication activities on modern sculpture. The materials include 244 copy negatives of works by modern sculptors, with an inventory and identification of the publications that these photos were taken from.
