| title | Allan Kaprow papers, ca. 1940-1997 | repository | The Getty Research Institute |
| description | The Allan Kaprow Papers offer comprehensive documentation of an artistic career that spanned the latter half of the 20th century and continues into the 21st. Arranged chronologically so as to demonstrate the artist's passage from student of art and art history to practicing artist, art theorist and art educator, the collection contains drawings, term papers and notebooks from Kaprow's student days, including a paper on Jackson Pollock and a Master's thesis on Piet Mondrian that he wrote as a student of Meyer Schapiro's, and scores he composed while studying with John Cage. The ca. 250 project files, comprising the complete extant documentation of Kaprow's Environments, Happenings, and Activities, demonstrate the evolution of Kaprow's Happening from a relatively scripted, grand, social event (Chicken; Household) to an austere, inter-subjective experience (Time Pieces; Rates of Exchange). They contain the artist's notes and drafts of his casually poetic scores, along with correspondence and photo-documentation by Peter Moore, Robert McElroy, and Julian Wasser, among other photographers. Files for Activities created between 1970 and 1979 often contain activity booklets, that is, booklets made to look like training manuals that document a piece with photographs and text and may also serve as a score for reinventions. A variety of printed matter, including scrapbooks, clippings and posters, document the work's presentation and reception in the art world. There are also film, video and audio recordings of many Happenings and Activities. Kaprow's writings, arranged chronologically by year, represent the artist's consistent production of articles, essays, books and lectures about the practice of contemporary art and issues in art education. Teaching Files contain correspondence with university officials and colleagues; together with Professional Correspondence they portray the financial difficulties attendant on an unconventional art career that has taken place outside the usual venues and generated few objects that could be sold for profit. Artists' Files contain texts, objects or photographs sent to Kaprow, and evoke the international community of avant-garde artists to which Kaprow belongs. Bio./Hist. Note: Allan Kaprow, the American artist who invented the Happening, has created more than 250 ephemeral works in the course of his career and has also been active as a critic and educator.

| title | Jean Brown papers, 1916-1995 (bulk 1958-1985) | repository | The Getty Research Institute |
| description | The Jean Brown papers (1916-1995, bulk 1958-1995) form a significant ensemble of original works and printed matter, and document Brown's intent to build a study collection of avant-garde materials. Dada and Surrealism provided the core inspiration for Brown's acquisitions, as well as for the later artists whose work she collected. In-depth holdings by artists participating in Fluxus, happenings, concrete, sound and visual poetry, new music, mail art, copy art, rubber stamp printing, and video and performance art underscore her range of interests. The collection's broad scope presents a comprehensive account of alternative movements, distribution networks and exhibition venues of the 1960s and 1970s. A significant portion of the archive consists of approximately 500 objects created by Fluxus artists and other contemporaries. Another large component documents Brown's interaction with the international network of mail artists and those distributing their work via post. Considerable printed matter records the exhibition and performance activities of artists and the alternative artists' spaces which sponsored them. Also included are bibliographic notes written by Brown, audio cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes, and films. Publications received with the archive have been separated to the Getty Research Library. The collection is arranged in 7 series: Series I. Artists' files, 1916-1995, bulk 1958-1985 Series II. Announcements and invitations, ca. 1960-1989, bulk 1970-1985 Series III. Topical ephemera, 1917-1989, bulk 1965-1989 Series IV. Miscellaneous clippings, 1957-1987, bulk 1980-1985 Series V. Notes and personal, 1993, n.d. Series VI. Art objects, 1958-1986, n.d. Series VII. Audiovisual materials, 1965-1987, n.d. Biographical or Historical Notes: American collector and supporter of the avant-garde.
