Finding aid for the Galleria 990058 1 dell'Ariete records, 1955-1993 Descriptive Summary Title: Galleria dell'Ariete records Date (inclusive): 1955-1993 Number: 990058 Creator/Collector: Galleria dell'Ariete Physical Description: 46.43 Linear Feet(88 boxes; 2 flatfile folders) Repository: The Getty Research Institute Special Collections 1200 Getty Center Drive, Suite 1100 Los Angeles 90049-1688 [email protected] URL: http://hdl.handle.net/10020/askref (310) 440-7390 Abstract: The complete business records of the Galleria dell'Ariete of Milan, Italy, from 1955, when it opened, through its closing in the mid-1980s. It was among the most important galleries in Italy for contemporary art, and had extensive connections with dealers, collectors, artists, and critics in Europe, the United States, and Japan. The archive documents these connections through correspondence, business and financial papers, catalogs, press clippings, and an extensive photographic record.

Language: Collection material is primarily in Italian and English Biographical/Historical note Beatrice Monti della Corte opened the Galleria dell'Ariete at Via San Andrea, 5, Milan, Italy in 1955, when she was twenty-five years old, principally as a showplace for modern art-her first major exhibition at the gallery was of lithographs and engravings by Picasso-though the formal statutes of the company state that its object is 'il commercio in generale di opere d'arte antiche e moderne'. Thus Monti della Corte regularly exhibited and dealt in such items as 17th to 19th century Indian miniature paintings, Afghan kilims and dhurries, 19th century American patchwork quilts, and 18th and 19th century Italian folk paintings on glass. A 1958 exhibition, Tauromachia, brought together engravings of bullfighting subjects by Goya and Picasso. However, the main focus was on the work of living artists, and the Galleria dell'Ariete rapidly became one of the foremost Italian galleries for contemporary art, forming close connections with such like-minded establishments as the galleries of Kasmin and Waddington in London, and Leo Castelli, Ileana Sonnabend, and Betty Parsons in New York. Monti della Corte had a special interest in introducing modern-especially new, young-Italian artists to American collectors, through her contacts with American dealers, and in promoting modern American artists in Italy, through her own gallery. Artists such as Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns amongst the Americans, and Andrea Cascella, Enrico Castellani, and Luigi Parzini amongst Italians were particular enthusiasms of hers, as was the Spaniard Antoni Tápies, and she kept in personal contact with some of them even after she had finally closed the gallery. She was also amongst the first to exhibit the work of the English artists Francis Bacon and David Hockney in Italy, and, as her business became established, she started to bring modern Asian art, especially Japanese, within its range. In 1970 Monti della Corte opened a new section of the Galleria dell'Ariete, at the same Via San Andrea address, under the name Ariete Grafica. It was dedicated to drawings, lithographs, engravings, prints, and editions of small sculptures, leaving the main gallery free to concentrate on paintings and large sculptures. Ariete Grafica itself published editions of works in various media by a number of artists. A list from 1980 has twenty-one names of "artisti delle nostri edizioni"; amongst them, Andrea Cascella, Diego Esposito, Barry Flanagan, Nancy Martin, Luigi Parzini, and Shu Takahashi, and including a serial work by Alan Shields in the form of hand-painted, beaded crochet panels. Monti della Corte closed Galleria dell'Ariete as an exhibition space on November 30, 1979, though she maintained an office at Via San Andrea, and from it carried on dealing in paintings and sculpture under the gallery's name for a few more years. The records contain papers related to these transactions dated up to 1983. Ariete Grafica remained open at the same address, and exhibitions were held and business conducted there into the mid-1980s, by which time the gallery was handling paintings and sculptures as well as graphic arts. As late as 1993 Monti della Corte was using the Via San Andrea address to deal with paperwork connected to her loans of artworks from her personal collection for exhibitions at museums

Processing History Alan Tomlinson processed the collection and wrote the preliminary inventory, which was encoded by Laura Schroffel in 2008. Annette Leddy further processed the collection and revised the finding aid in 2012. Correspondence may be further processed at a future time. Scope and Content of Collection The Galleria dell'Ariete records contain all of the surviving business papers of the gallery from its foundation by Beatrice Monti della Corte in 1955 to its closure in 1979, plus papers connected with her continued activities under the Galleria's name during the following few years. Also included are the business records of the Galleria's offshoot, Ariete Grafica, from its opening in 1970 to the mid-1980s. These records comprise correspondence (letters received and copies of letters sent) with dealers, collectors, and artists in many countries; miscellaneous business papers, including accounts and stock cards, which give extensive information on the acquisition, sale, and movement of works of art; and business diaries and minute books, the earliest of which include the articles of association and the statutes of the Galleria. The correspondence is arranged by region (Europe, the United States, and Asia), and then chronologically. These materials are supplemented by an extensive file of press clippings, collecting items about specific exhibitions at the Galleria, items about artists and others associated with it, and some items of general interest about art and culture. There is a complete run of catalogs for the Galleria's exhibitions from 1955-1979, with related ephemera, and a collection of pages of signatures from visitors' books put out for some of the exhibitions. A comprehensive photographic archive documents works of art and exhibitions, and includes photographs of artists and other individuals, and of gallery activities. Photographers include Carlo Cisventi, Ugo Mulas, Hans Namuth, and Vicenzo, among others.

Series I. Correspondence, 1955-1983 Physical Description: 17.09 Linear Feet(41 boxes) Scope and Content Note Correspondence between Galleria dell'Ariete and artists, dealers, galleries, museums, collectors, and critics in Europe, the United States, and Japan between 1955 and 1983, including letters received, and copies of letters sent. Among the highlights of this correspondence is the witty, eloquent, exchange between Monti della Corte and her friend and colleague New York art dealer Leo Castelli. With the shared objective of raising the profile of American artists in Italy and Italian artists in America, the two exchange strategic letters and telegrams about collectors, artists, and other dealers, chronicling the flow of paintings back and forth across the Atlantic. Other American colleagues who appear in the correspondence are Betty Parsons, Paula Cooper, and Martha Jackson. During her periods in New York, Monti della Corte wrote almost daily to gallery staff about meetings with artists, and they sent news of developments in the Gallery. These letters too are full of information about the developing market for American art in Europe and the collectors, like Giuseppe Panza, or Joseph Pulizer, who were to create a lasting legacy in collections that would ultimately find their way into contemporary art museums. Arrangement The files are organized in a variation of the way they were received from the gallery: first by region, then by decade, and then in alphabetical order by the names of the persons or organizations involved. Note that this latter category was rather idiosyncratically applied by the gallery. If an entity does not appear under the correspondent's last name, it may be searchable by the name of the pertinent corporate entity, or by the last name of the subject of the correspondence, such as an artist. Correspondence regarding a gallery that comprises a dealer's name is filed by the dealer's last name, e.g., Betty Parsons Gallery is filed under "P". Correspondence with shippers and insurance companies are mixed in with that of artists, collectors, critics and editors of art magazines. Selected names are listed under each date range.

Subseries II.B. focuses on the works exhibited by the Galleria's stable of artists, some of whom are captured in studio shots. Subseries II.C. contains many intriguing and beautifully shot portraits of the artists and of Beatrice del Monte, some by well-known photographers such as Ugo Mulas or Hans Namuth. Among the highlights are photographs of Monti della Corte with Leo Castelli and their two prize winning artists at the Venice Biennale of 1964: Robert Rauschenberg won the prize for best foreign artist, and Andrea Cascella won for best Italian artist Arrangement Arranged in three subseries, each in alphabetical order by the artists' last names. The first subseries contains photography of all the work by artists associated with the gallery, however briefly; the second subseries includes photography of exhibitions held in the gallery, and often also contains the exhibition brochure; the third subseries concerns various fairs and biennials. Negatives, color transparencies, and color photographs are housed separately from the black-and-white photographs, and are arranged in alphabetical order by the artists' last names.
