Edmund Teske papers, 1933-1996.

The papers provide both an overview of, and unique insight into Teske's creative processes, influences and relationships. Correspondents represented in Series I include Frank Lloyd Wright, Paul Strand, Edgar Tafel and Aline Barnsdall. Of particular note are fourteen letters from Minor White, in which he provides an in-depth assessment of Teske's aesthetic development. Teske's correspondence also chronicles his interactions with museums and galleries such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the George Eastman House and the Witkin Gallery. Series I also includes personal documents, sketches and ephemera. Professional files in Series II relate to Teske's exhibitions from 1960 to 1995; his "photo-grabs" in the 1970s and 1980s; and his teaching and speaking engagements from 1960 to 1991. Materials include exhibition ephemera, correspondence, loan agreements, newspaper clippings, course catalogs, enrollment lists and workshop ephemera. Series III contains writings by Teske, recordings and transcripts of interviews, and writings and artworks by others. Among the published and unpublished writings and artworks by other artists are materials by Edward Weston, Bob Alexander, mail art from Wallace Berman, and invitations to George Herms's Tap City Circus events.
