content: Artist files date from 1944-2015 and comprise over one-third of the collection. The majority of these files contain extensive correspondence between artist and dealer, which highlight the personal and intimate relationships Frumkin cultivated with many of his artists. Other items include sales records, exhibition files, printed material, photographs of artwork, installations, and artists, and writings by and about artists. Among those represented in the series are the artists Robert Arneson, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Jack Beal, Joan Brown, Colin Lanceley, Maryan, Roberto Matta, Philip Pearlstein, Peter Saul, H.C. Westermann, and William T. Wiley. Of particular note are the files on Roberto Matta, an early and important advisor to Frumkin, and Peter Saul, who was represented and supported by Frumkin for over three decades.
