content: Writings about Gray include a biography, Cleve Gray, by Nicholas Fox Weber, and manuscripts of a poem, student paper, and reviews.

A significant portion of this subseries is comprised of manuscripts, drafts, notes, and research materials for three books edited by Cleve Gray, David Smith by David Smith: Sculpture and Writings, Hans Richter, and John Marin. Published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc. between 1968 and 1973, each volume features selected writings by the artist about his work and life, along with photogrphs. Research material survives for the next volume in the series, Naum Gabo, which was never published. Gray discontinued the series when Gabo abruptly changed his mind just as the manuscript was nearly completed. This subseries also contains notes concerning Gray's translation of A L'Infinitif by Marcel Duchamp.

Also found is "The Resurrection in Art," a lecture by Jane Daggett Dillenberger. Among the items by unknown authors is a small volume containing notes and reminiscences of Jackson Pollock.
