content: Artists' Files documents the relationship or interest the gallery had with individual artists, especially modern American artists. Folders for each artist can contain a variety of materials, such as correspondence with the artist, clients, galleries, and museums regarding consignments, exhibitions, loans, and sales; photographs, slides, and transparencies, primarily of artwork; sales invoices; exhibition catalogs, postcards, and other printed materials; press releases; magazine and newspaper clippings, often compiled in binder sleeves; price lists and related exhibition records; artist binders containing biographical information and photographs; and research materials on artists and artwork. Also found are some scattered subject files, per original arrangement.

There is extensive material related to artists Carmen Cicero, Susan Crile, Elaine De Kooning's portrait of President John F. Kennedy, Edwin Dickinson, muralist Seymour Fogel, Nancy Fried, Irving Kriesberg, Gari Melchers, Jonathan Santlofer, Reeve Schley, Peter Stevens, Joan Thorne, and Selina Trieff. Researchers are encouraged to also consult Alphabetical Files when researching particular artists or artworks.
