content: This series contains annotated writings and an interview. Included are typescripts and handwritten drafts of writings by Chaim and Dorothy Koppelman, Regina Dienes, and others that were prepared for lectures held at the Terrain. Interspersed among the materials are exhibition announcements and clippings. Included are Chaim Koppelman's typescripts on printmaking and Dorothy Koppelman's essay-length pieces on the place of Aesthetic Realism in art history.

There are annotated versions of an interview with Chaim and Dorothy Koppleman for the Village Voice conducted by David Bourdon to commemorate the Terrain Gallery's Eleventh Anniversary. The Koppelmans' discuss Aesthetic Realism and the influence of Eli Siegel's Theory of Opposites in their selection of artwork for the gallery's exhibitions. They also comment on several artists who had exhibited at the Terrain.
