content: Series consists primarily of transcripts of interviews with Holt and related records such as correspondence, notes, and sound recordings. Also found are transcripts of a 1973 conversation between Lucy Lippard, Nancy Holt, and Robert Smithson about Eva Hesse and related records. Lippard instigated and recorded the conversation to aid in her writing of a book on Hesse's work. One folder includes records Holt conveyed, along with a copy of the conversation transcript, to Connie Butler at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Records include writings, and photos mentioned in the conversation including copies of a photograph of Smithson in the metal shop with his fabricators; Holt's Crossword work, based on an exhibition Essential Abstraction with Lippard's review of the exhibition; and Smithson's article "Quasi Infinities and the Waning of Space" in which he discusses Hesse's work. In addition to interviews with Holt there is a transcript of an interview Holt conducted with Al Poynter, a stone mason who worked with Holt on Rock Rings.
