| description | The Barbara Rose Papers represent a selection from her archive and document her research in post-war and contemporary American art. The bulk of the papers date from 1960 through 1985. Manuscript and research files on American artists, primarily of the post war era, and especially rich for the New York art world contain Rose's research notes, some correspondence (primarily from others), photographs and slides, and drafts of manuscripts for articles, catalogues and books, some unpublished. The most extensive files concern research (1978-1979) for an exhibition and catalogue on the artist Patrick Henry Bruce for the Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1979, and files about collaborations between science and art, including the Experiments in Art and Technology (Organization) project to build the Pepsi-Cola Pavilion at the 1970 Exposition in Osaka, and the related art and technology program at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1967-1971. Much of Rose's research consists of interviews with artists, and a few dealers, curators and printmakers. These date from ca. 1960 through ca. 1990. More than 100 interviews are here in transcriptions, some partial and heavily edited, and on cassette tapes and 1/4 inch audio tape reels. The Claes Oldenburg interviews are the most extensive with ca. 50 transcript pages and 21 cassette tapes. Six videotapes document exhibits, symposia and lectures. Correspondence with artists, curators and historians is scattered throughout the research files. In addition there are several concentrated files (ca. .5 linear ft.) of correspondence from Avigdor Arikha and his wife Anne, 1962-1977, and Mark Di Suvero, 1972-1973, 1975. Two letters from Robert Motherwell, 1966, discuss the post-war New York art scene. There are 4 letters from Frank Stella, with 2 short manuscripts about painting, and photographs of Islamic decoration taken during a trip to Iran. Complementing these files are ca. 200 black & white photographs of artists dating from ca. 1940 through 1992. Oldenburg's "Ray Gun" poster, signed and dated 1971, is an artifact from The Store Additional Formats: Use copies are available for all audio cassette tapes (C1-C147) and all reel-to-reel tapes (R1-R13).

| title | Modern Art in Los Angeles. The late forties, 2003. | repository | The Getty Research Institute |
| description | The collection consists of recordings of the program Modern Art in Los Angeles: The Late Forties, held on February 6-7, 2003 at the Getty Center. A public conversation about the key artists, exhibitions, and movements that developed in Los Angeles in the late 1940s was held on February 6th. Museum professionals Walter Hopps, Henry Hopkins, and James Byrnes, and artist Frederick Hammersley addressed such topics as Cold War era hostility toward modern art in Los Angeles, the establishment of educational programs that created a collector and exhibition network in the Southern California region, and how the panelists themselves helped shaped Los Angeles' strong culture of museums, galleries, and art schools. The discussion was moderated by Thomas Crow. Material also includes video and sound recordings of several oral history interviews with the panelists that were conducted on February 6-7, 2003. In addition to two group oral history interviews, individual interviews were conducted with Walter Hopps and Frederick Hammersley. Interviewers included Andrew Perchuk, Thomas Crow, Rani Singh, and Glenn Phillips. The Getty Research Institute (GRI) hosted events and conducted oral histories inspired by the "Modern Art in Los Angeles" theme beginning in 2003. Much of the research and product generated by the GRI's Modern Art in Los Angeles activities has been incorporated into the Getty's larger initiative, "Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A.," which focused on postwar art (1945-1980) in Los Angeles. |
