content: This series consists of photographs, negatives, slides, video recordings, and motion picture film. Professional and candid photographs of Pearlstein in his studio, in portraits, at events, and with colleagues are by various photographers including Gottfired Junker, John de Clef Piñeiro, Frederic Cantor, Sante D'Orazio, Jack Mitchell, and others. Pearlstein is also pictured with his portrait of Brooklyn college president, Robert L. Hess, and with President Clinton at The White House. Personal images are mostly snapshots of Pearlstein's family, friends, and travel. Photographs from art school show Andy Warhol, Dorothy Cantor, Ethel and Leonard Kessler, and other classmates at the beach and at school functions. Other photographs are of Pearlstein's models, exhibitions, and works of art by Pearlstein, Jack Mitchell, Harvey Stein, David Levy, Eleanor Magid, and Oren Slor. 

Recordings include Art in Progress: Philip Pearlstein by Jamie Lustberg, Pearlstein's former assistant, and an exhibition at Lehigh University Art Galleries. Thirteen super 8 mm amateur films contain footage of Pearlstein working, his models, and traveling to the Southwestern United States, Peru, and Egypt. Titles listed are taken from the inscriptions on the original film containers. The series also contains 26 video recordings mainly of Pearlstein's friends, travel, and exhibitions. Some recordings contain a mixture of personal and professional material.
