KARLSTROM Interview WA: WALTER ASKIN PK: PAUL KARLSTROM PK: This is the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, an interview with Walter Askin at his studio in Pasadena. What's the address here? WA: 26 West Dayton. PK: Near Old Town Pasadena. The date is March 4, 1992. This is tape one, the beginning of the interview, probably the first of two sessions. The interviewer is Paul Karlstrom. We have just had an enjoyable breakfast, on the archives, which is the way we like it, and this should hold us for maybe two hours. We'll see. First I want to say I'm delighted that we can do this. I think it's going to be fun. I'm looking forward to it, and I also think that you'll have some very special information to share regarding your own work, but this community as well. I think that maybe right up front we could say this that you, of course, have your own career, your own work, your own life to talk about today, but also I think you've been in a very interesting place as an observer over a career that spans, what, about forty years, I suppose.

Richardson to Lawrence A. Fleischman, Richardson poses a question: “Do you realize what a big thing you have done in starting the Archives [of American Art]? I know you do. But do you? It is enormous in its implications; enormous!” Richardson and Fleischman, a Detroit businessman and an active young collector, had founded the Archives earlier that year.
