Barbara Rose papers

The collection, a selected portion from the total Barbara Rose archive, documents Rose's research and writings about American art, especially the New York art world during the 1960s and 1970s. It contains correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, and audio and video tapes. About .5 linear ft. of correspondence from artists includes substantial files of letters from Anne and Avigdor Arikha, and Mark Di Suvero, plus copies of letters between Ad Reinhardt and Thomas Merton (1956-64), and two 1966 letters from Robert Motherwell in which he describes the post-war New York art scene. Correspondence with other artists, critics and dealers is scattered throughout the manuscript and research files. These latter files contain Rose's research and portions of manuscripts for published and unpublished works on Patrick Henry Bruce, Georgia O'Keefe, Andy Warhol, Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, the Fernando Vijande gallery in Spain, E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology), and the Art and Technology program of the Los Angeles County Museum. Smaller files contain notes and portions of manuscripts about Clement Greenberg, Peggy Guggenheim, Alexander Liberman, Mark Di Suvero, and the Pier 35 project in New York City. One file contains Rose's student notes from a class with Meyer Schapiro.
