scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series contains articles published in magazines, newspapers, journals, and other art-related publications, as well as exhibition catalogs, posters, plans for installations and exhibition spaces, a disassembled scrapbook, and special print publications.  Many of the articles and clippings exist in photocopy only.  

Any printed material containing writings by Butterfield is filed at the beginning of the series under "Articles by Butterfield."  A bound collection of article photocopies is found at the beginning of the series, followed by early articles Butterfield wrote for Texas papers between 1970-1972.  Individual articles by Butterfield are then filed by artist's name, or by the title of the article if the subject was not a single artist.  Clippings have a few files arranged by subject, but most clippings are filed chronologically.  A few clippings files also contain press releases.  Most of the articles are about specific artists, galleries, museums, and other art world stories.  Exhibition catalogs are arranged alphabetically by artist or by exhibition title for group shows.  Additional exhibition catalogs are found in the Writings series, among Butterfield's drafts of catalog essays and publicity writings.  An exhibition program for Tony Labat is filed under "Articles by Butterfield."  

Exhibition posters are for Ferus Gallery from 1963 and Robert Hudson at Moore College in 1978.  Plans include two floor plans of installations by James Turrell, one axonometric view of an unidentified installation, and two elevation drawings of P.S.1 in Queens, New York.  Publicity files are arranged by subject and contain multiple types of printed material such as press releases, clippings, exhibition catalogs, and announcements.  Readings for "Issues in Contemporary Art" contains photocopied articles used by Butterfield to teach a college course of that name.  

Special publications include magazines and other printed matter which Butterfield collected or contributed to, including two issues of the program for the Artists' Soapbox Derby at the San Francisco Museum of Art and a 1978 guide to art spaces published by the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art.
