| title | George Dix papers, 1946-1992. |
| repository | Yale University Library |
| description | The George Dix Papers contain correspondence, exhibition catalogs, photographs, notes and other papers that document the work of George Dix. The Papers have been arranged into two series, Series I, Durlacher Bros. Files and Series II, Artists Files. The papers span the years 1946-1992. Series I, Durlacher Bros. Files , contains general files detailing the workings of the gallery, including correspondence, subject files, and photographs. The correspondence consists of letters by George Dix, R. Kirk Askew, Princeton University Dept. of Art and Archaeology, and others. The letters from R. Kirk Askew concern Dix's partnership with Durlacher Bros. The subject files contain exhibition catalogs and other papers. The photographs consist of works by painters, divided into works for sale, works sold, and other categories. Series II, Artists Files , contains the subject files George Dix kept on artists he represented on behalf of Durlacher Bros., or in the case Edward Lear and Joseph Wright of Derby, artists for whom special exhibitions were mounted by Durlacher Bros. or Dix's own gallery. The correspondence in this series is mostly between Durlacher Bros. and Dix, as well as some third party letters. However, there are many letters to and from Askew, and these have been noted in the box and folder list. The subject files include financial statements, biographical information, exhibition catalogs, often containing price lists, lists of works for exhibitions, pricing and insurance purposes, newspaper clippings, and photographs of the artists and their works. Biographical Note: In 1948, already established as an art dealer, George Dix began his partnership with R. Kirk Askew at the New York gallery of Durlacher Bros., where he handled the British painters represented by the gallery. After 124 years of business, Durlacher Bros. closed in 1967. Dix, having worked for many years with contemporary artists, made plans to open a gallery in his own name, concentrating on old master drawings and paintings.
