content: The Books and Exhibition Catalogues series (1970-2006 ) contains bound volumes documenting both Arthur Smith's work and art exhibitions during his life, and exhibitions that included his work posthumously. Notable titles in this series include "OBJECTS: USA: Works by Artist Craftsmen in Ceramic, Enamel, Glass, Metal, Plastic, Mosaic, Wood, and Fiber" by Lee Nordness, and several copies of "Messengers of Modernism: American Studio Jewelry 1940-1960" by Toni Greenbaum and Martin Eidelberg. Several books were sent to Charles Russell with correspondence and notes regarding permissions to use pieces of Art Smith Jewelry or photographs of jewelry pieces in exhibitions and related publications. These notes were separated from the bound volumes and are in Series 4 Legacy and Memorialization, Subseries 4.1   Posthumous Exhibitions and Estate Management.
