content: Photographs by Ann and Burt Chernow are filed first in the series, followed by photos of the Chernows alone and with artists. Photographs by other photographers are filed at the end of the series, with known photographers listed in the folder listing. Because photographs are arranged by photographer, note that there are multiple photographs of some artists filed in different places in this series, such as Mary Bauermeister, Lester Johnson, Paul Jenkins, Gabor Peterdi, and Christo.

Additional photographs are found in series 1, 2, and 3. See series descriptions for more details.
scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: Series includes many photographs of artists taken by the Chernows, as well as photographs collected but not taken by them, and many of these are signed and dedicated to Ann and Burt Chernow by the artists. Most of the signed photographs were framed when donated, with a note that they had hung in Burt Chernow's office. These photographs were taken out of their frames during processing, but most remain matted. 

A few photographs of Burt and Ann Chernow are also found, along with photographs of them with artists such as Mary Bauermeister and the Christos. Several of the photographs by the Chernows come with negatives and contact sheets as well. Some of the photographs of artists not credited to the Chernows may in fact have been taken by them, but are not credited, or do not include evidence of their production such as negatives or contact sheets for identification. 

Also found in this series are photographs of a bust of Chernow by an unidentified artist, and photocollages by Burt Chernow, one of which is labled, "Burt's last work of art."
