content: De Hauke sold and consigned works to individuals, galleries, and museums, and he also loaned works to galleries and museums such as the Cleveland Museum of Art, Downtown Gallery, Marie Harriman Gallery, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, and Saint Louis Art Museum for special exhibitions. Complex arrangements with shippers, packers, and customs officials were made through frequent correspondence. De Hauke documented sales in many ways, including by the name of the purchaser, as a daily transaction, and as consignments.

Some names of individuals and organizations that occur in many of the records include James St. L. O'Toole, gallery manager and assistant to de Hauke in New York, who wrote much of the correspondence on de Hauke's behalf, some of which is in French; Tom Grady, director of Modern Paintings, Inc., a Jacques Seligmann & Co. entity, the stock of which was partially owned by de Hauke as well; Alexis Delamare, shipping agent based in Le Havre, France; Lérondelle, packer and shipper in Paris; Hirshbach and Smith, customs agents and brokers in New York; and Germain Seligman, owner and director of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. Often de Hauke and Seligman sold on commission works of art owned by Bernheim-Jeune.
