The latter includes records of sale, Cuddihy's diagrams of works by Motherwell and correspondence between Cuddihy and various dealers and museums, such as the Jewish Museum, the Sam Kootz Gallery, the Sidney Janis Gallery, The Museum of Modern Art, the Bennington College Art Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Art, the American Federation of Artists (AFA), the Pasadena Art Museum, the Smith College Art Museum, and Dore Ashton, on behalf of Cooper Union. The scrapbooks also include several letters and cards from Motherwell, and one from Helen Frankenthaler, Motherwell's former wife. The final scrapbook contains several autobiographical items, including the covers of Cuddihy's two publications.
