content: Business records consist of grant applications and written reports for the American Federation of Arts, Asia House, and National Endowment for the Arts. The bulk of Field's correspondence is with arts institutions and organizations. Of note are illustrated letters from John Von Wicht to Field. Von Wicht writes of exhibiting his work, of seeing Field in New York, and of her newsletter. In the last letter of 1968, written two years before his death, he writes of being in the hospital, returning home soon, and returning to work. Photographs include a photo of Von Wicht by I. Grippe and a snapshot of Andy Warhol peeking through a Henry Moore sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art with Richard Brown Baker taken by Field. Clippings and newsletters concern various arts organizations. Writings include a report by Field for the American Federation of Arts domestic exhibition program, a notebook, and loose notes.
