Mr. and Mrs. Allan C. Balch Art Research Library. Biographical/Historical Note Staff, interns, and volunteers of the Mr. and Mrs. Allan C. Balch Art Research Library of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) have contributed to the organization and maintenance of the files since the opening of the museum on Wilshire Boulevard in 1965. Materials dating before the 1960s were inherited from the museum's parent entity, the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science, and Art (now the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County) at Exposition Park, from which the art collection was separated in 1961 to form LACMA. The library currently receives most materials either directly by mail or by donation from curators, board and committee members, artists and their families, or other private donors. Scope and Contents Note The artist and gallery ephemera collection contains approximately 447 linear feet of miscellaneous uncataloged materials related to individual artists and artist groups, as well as galleries and other art institutions that are or have been active in California. The bulk of the materials relate to exhibitions or other art-related events, and are represented in the form of: invitation postcards, press releases, brochures, pamphlets, thin catalogs, price lists, news and magazine clippings, posters, slides, and photographs. Series I: Artist Files contains materials related predominantly to individual artists. To a far lesser extent, the files may include non-artist individuals, such as collectors, museum directors, or critics. All items relating to single individuals are retained regardless of the nationality, period, or school of the artist, or venue represented. Series II: Gallery/Institution Files contains materials related to individual galleries, institutions, or organizations. As of 2011, only items pertaining to California-based venues are collected. Series III: Posters include materials larger than 18x24". See Arrangement Note for internal arrangement schema. Accessing the Collection This collection is open for use by appointment only at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Balch Art Research Library. Contact the Library at 323-856-6118 or [email protected] in advance to inquire if materials exist in the ephemera collection pertaining to your research interests. Conditions Governing Use Note Contact the Balch Research Library at 323-856-6118 or [email protected] for information on publishing or reproducing materials included in these records. Permission will be granted by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as the owner of the physical materials, and does not imply permission from the copyright holder. It is the responsibility of the researcher to obtain all necessary permissions from the copyright holder. Arrangement Note Series I: Artist Files (655 boxes, or 383 linear feet) Files are arranged alphabetically by personal last name. Individual files are either designated for a single artist (e.g., "Abramovic, Marina"), or may represent an alphabetical range (e.g., "Aba-Abz") that excludes those artists for whom designated individual files have been created. Series II: Gallery/Institution Files (96 boxes, or 56 linear feet) Files are arranged alphabetically by venue name (e.g., "Norton Simon Museum", NOT "Pasadena"). Materials related to more than one artist is filed under this series. Individual files are either designated for a single venue (e.g., "Felix Landau Gallery"), or may represent an alphabetical range (e.g., "F-Fh") that excludes those venues for which designated individual files have been created. Series III: Posters (6 boxes, or 8 linear feet) Files are arranged alphabetically by city name. Artist and gallery ephemera LIB.001.002 2 LIB.001.002 Note on cross-listed artists: Current practice is to file all single artists under Artist Files and to file any item representing more than one artist under Gallery/Institution Files. Due to previous filing irregularities, some multiple-artist materials may be found in the Artist Files under the name of the first artist listed, or under a name that the filer has checked or underlined. Index card surrogates directing the user to other files were also previously used (e.g., "see also" or "filed under"). Separated Materials Note Ephemera in unique or unusual formats have been removed from the files and cataloged separately. These items include invitations and announcements issued in the form of an artist's book, a three dimensional object, or an object that references a theme in the artists artwork. These are also available for research consultation as a part of the artist and gallery special formats ephemera collection (collection number LIB.001.001). Processing Information Note The rehousing and reorganization of the ephemera collection and the creation of this finding aid was made possible by a grant from the Getty Foundation, and was completed in 2012 as part of the initiative Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980 in order to improve the visibility, accessibility, growth, and conservation of the collection. During this time, the formerly separate "Gallery Files" and "Institution Files" were integrated into a single series, and the geographical filing method (alphabetical by city) was abandoned in favor of filing by the name of the gallery or institution. Physical storage was also improved by replacing filing cabinets and record storage boxes with archival document cases and open shelving. Internal Processing Information Note Some inconsistencies due to changing filing strategies included reintegrating "Mc and Mac" as "mc" and "mac" and reversing the occasional practice of filing a 'u' or 'o' with a diaeresis which had been noted to be filed as 'ue' or 'oe' and is now filed as a 'u' or 'o'. 'La' and 'le' had been both separated as articles as well as filed with the spaces skipped, and 'de' have been left as filed within miscellaneous (i.e. "La-Li") folders. The distinctions between LA, L.A., [Los Angeles] "La" as an artiel (as in La Canada or La Tour) had mostly been ignored within the files by running them together. Researchers should be prepared to look in all combinations. Dutch, Spanish and Asian multi-part names were often filed under the first or last part of the name. As the files are updated the Library of Congress authority heading is being used or the ULAN if there is no LOC entry; if neither has an entry the name is listed as it appears on an artist's or institution's website or the museum's own TMS listing. Many of the names on the catalogs do not correspond with authorized headings - most often because they have been Anglicized. Some of the institution and place names may differ as well but have generally been transcribed rather than individually researched for American usage. As location designations, New York and California have been abbreviated since almost all of the materials are mailings and use US Post Office naming conventions.

  • 1785-1998 September 1998
    THE EVOLUTION OF THE BROADWOOD GRAND PIANO 1785-1998 by Alastair Laurence DPhil. University of York Department of Music September 1998 Broadwood Grand Piano of 1801 (Finchcocks Collection, Goudhurst, Kent) Abstract: The Evolution of the Broadwood Grand Piano, 1785-1998 This dissertation describes the way in which one company's product - the grand piano - evolved over a period of two hundred and thirteen years. The account begins by tracing the origins of the English grand, then proceeds with a description of the earliest surviving models by Broadwood, dating from the late eighteenth century. Next follows an examination of John Broadwood and Sons' piano production methods in London during the early nineteenth century, and the transition from small-scale workshop to large factory is noted. The dissertation then proceeds to record in detail the many small changes to grand design which took place as the nineteenth century progressed, ranging from the extension of the keyboard compass, to the introduction of novel technical features such as the famous Broadwood barless steel frame. The dissertation concludes by charting the survival of the Broadwood grand piano since 1914, and records the numerous difficulties which have faced the long-established company during the present century. The unique feature of this dissertation is the way in which much of the information it contains has been collected as a result of the writer's own practical involvement in piano making, tuning and restoring over a period of thirty years; he has had the opportunity to examine many different kinds of Broadwood grand from a variety of historical periods.

  • In 1981, the Artist David Hammons and the Photographer Dawoud Bey Found Themselves at Richard Serra's T.W.U., a Hulking Corten
    Lakin, Chadd. “When Dawoud Bey Met David Hammons.” The New York Times. May 2, 2019. Bliz-aard Ball Sale I” (1983), a street action or performance by David Hammons that was captured on camera by Dawoud Bey, shows the artist with his neatly arranged rows of snowballs for sale in the East Village. Credit Dawoud Bey, Stephen Daiter Gallery In 1981, the artist David Hammons and the photographer Dawoud Bey found themselves at Richard Serra’s T.W.U., a hulking Corten steel monolith installed just the year before in a pregentrified and sparsely populated TriBeCa. No one really knows the details of what happened next, or if there were even details to know aside from what Mr. Bey’s images show: Mr. Hammons, wearing Pumas and a dashiki, standing near the interior of the sculpture, its walls graffitied and pasted over with fliers, urinating on it. Another image shows Mr. Hammons presenting identification to a mostly bemused police officer. Mr. Bey’s images are funny and mysterious and offer proof of something that came to be known as “Pissed Off” and spoken about like a fable — not exactly photojournalism, but documentation of a certain Hammons mystique. It wasn’t Mr. Hammons’ only act at the site, either. Another Bey image shows a dozen pairs of sneakers Mr. Hammons lobbed over the Serra sculpture’s steel lip, turning it into something resolutely his own. Soon after he arrived in New York, from Los Angeles, in 1974, Mr. Hammons began his practice of creating work whose simplicity belied its conceptual weight: sculptures rendered from the flotsam of the black experience — barbershop clippings and chicken wing bones and bottle caps bent to resemble cowrie shells — dense with symbolism and the freight of history.

  • Alison Saar Foison and Fallow
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 2010 Media Contact: Elizabeth East Telephone: 310-822-4955 Email: [email protected] Alison Saar Foison and Fallow 15 September through 30 October 2010 Opening reception for the artist: Wednesday 15 September, 6-8 p.m. Venice, CA –- L.A. Louver is pleased to announce an exhibition of new three-dimensional mixed media works on paper and sculpture by Alison Saar. In this new work Saar explores the cycle of birth, maturation, death and regeneration through the changing season and her own experience of aging. The two drawings Foison, 2010 and Fallow, 2010, which also give their titles to the exhibition, derive from Saar’s recent fascination with early anatomy illustration. As Saar has stated “The artists of the time seemed compelled to breathe life back into the cadavers, depicting them dancing with their entrails, their skin draped over their arm like a cloak, or fe- tuses blooming from their mother’s womb.” In these drawings, Saar has replaced the innards of the fi gures with incongruous elements, to create a small diorama: Foison, 2010 depicts ripe, fruitful cotton balls and their nemesis the cotton moth, in caterpillar, chrysalis and mature moth stage; while Fallow, 2010 portrays a fallow fawn fetus entwined in brambles. In creating these works Saar references and reexamines her early work Alison Saar that often featured fi gures with “cabinets’ in their chest containing relics Fallow, 2010 mixed media of their life. 55 1/2 x 29 x 1 in. (141 x 73.7 x 2.5 cm) My work has always dealt with dualities -- usually of the wild, feral side in battle with the civil self -----Alison Saar One of two sculptures in the exhibition, En Pointe, 2010 depicts a fi gure hanging by her feet and sprouting massive bronze antlers.

But obscurity is not necessarily forever, and as cycles of taste have changed, these once-forgotten artists and their largely unknown works have re-surfaced to startle us today.

  • A Harpsichord Odyssey
    A Harpsichord Odyssey (II) by Edgar Hunt Major Benton Fletcher had acquired Old Devonshire House in 1934 when it was in a very poor state, cleaned it up, stripping off several coats of wall paper and plaster to reveal the original wood panelling, and made it a fit home for his collections. Built in the seventeenth century, it had been the town house of the Cavendish family, one of whom once rode his horse up the broad staircase for a wager. Now it was to provide the perfect setting for the Major's collection of early keyboard instruments and antique furniture. The Major himself, besides having been a soldier (he served in the Boer War and World War I), an egyptologist who had worked with Flinders Petrie and an artist (among other things he illustrated Braybrook's Pepys* Diary for Dent), had built up a collection of The first floor 'Great Chamber'. harpsichords and other early keyboard Old Devonshire House.
