| title | The Tremaine Collection | repository | Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation |
| description | The Tremaine Collection site brings together for the first time the works that Emily Hall Tremaine and Burton G. Tremaine, Sr. acquired over thirty years as part of their visionary art collection. Entries of art works, commissioned designs, and architectural works that comprise the breadth of the Tremaines’ collecting and patronage activity are identified with basic identifying information compiled from primary sources included in the Emily Hall Tremaine Papers held at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, including Emily Hall Tremaine’s personal accounts of the artworks written in her “Black Book” and documentation from galleries, dealers, and the artists included in her files. These materials, as well as information taken from the historic Tremaine Collection auctions, as well as documents, interviews, correspondence, and ephemera from the Tremaine’s files inform the transcription of the titles, provenance, and other data surrounding the artworks included in this project and capture a moment in time. For instance, certain fields like Creation Start and End Dates capture the diversity of works (such as architectural works) found on the site while other groupings of information like Ownership History, Appraisals Recorded by the Tremaines, and Locations During Tremaine Ownership record information about the work during the time it was under the Tremaines’ ownership. |
