content: Artist account statements were prepared periodically by the gallery for each artist or artist's representative. Statements indicate the titles of sold artwork, the names of clients who purchased the work, the purchase price, the gallery's commission, and the balance due to the artist. The statements occasionally also include debits for advances, restoration work, or other expenses charged to the artists or shared between artist and gallery, and other supporting documentation such as invoices or receipts.

Most of the artists have approximately ten folders. The most voluminous artist files, thirty folders or more, belong to Anthony Caro, Helen Frankenthaler, Hans Hofmann, Morris Louis, and Beverly Pepper.

Some of the records are in German and Italian.
