content: The Grinstein's extensive photograph collection documents the range of their involvement and influence in the West Coast art world and the fact that their home is featured in so many of the pictures is indicative of it's place at the center of all that they accomplished. The photographs, slides, negatives, transparencies, and digital photographs found in this series depict the numerous parties and social events, extensive travel, and work to promote art and artists that the Grinstein's were engaged in from the 1960s on.
