Artists were interviewed by Leah Gordon and their interviews compiled and submitted to "Time" editorial staff; they include Romare Bearden, Marcel Breuer, Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson, Barnett Newman, Claes Oldenburg, Nam June Paik, I.M. Pei, Ben Shahn, and Tony Smith, among others. Additional files contain notes and research regarding coverage of exhibitions and museums, including the "American Primitives" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Edith Halpert's bequest to the Corcoran, and the Shelburne Museum in Vermont. Most of the documents are original typescripts, with some photocopies considered to be the only surviving copy of the document.
