scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: Series consists of papers relating to various art and personal business matters and to certain financial matters. Some material is organized loosely into gallery and organization files, which may contain records of consignments, loans, sales, and exhibitions including ones at the Philadelphia Art Alliance in 1962, Editions Alecto, Ltd. in 1964, and the Parsons-Dreyfuss Gallery in 1979. The series also includes a file for Willard Gallery which represented Dehner from the mid-1950s to the 1970s, and a file related to the Committee for the American Participation in the Triennale.

Material relating to more general art business consists of numerous handwritten and typed lists (of works, art sales, prices, exhibitions, art books donated to Skidmore College Library, etc.); visitor books for unidentified exhibitions in 1957, 1959, 1960, and 1963; shipping and delivery receipts; and handwritten documents authenticating certain David Smith works. Material relating to personal business and financial matters includes property and school tax records for Bolton's Landing; a receipt for payment by David Smith, presumably made to Dehner as part of their separation agreement; and an agreement by Dehner to sell certain sculptures by David Smith that she owned to Samuel Dorsky.
