Subject Files

Numerous files arranged by subject headings established by the gallery that contain information collected and maintained by the gallery on various art medium, artists of interest, exhibition catalogs from museums and other galleries, and information about small and fine art presses. Of particular interest are several folders entitled "Fine Art Printers & Publishers." Barbara Fendrick's early years in the art business centered upon exhibiting, promoting, and selling prints produced by young, emerging American artists. The information found here documents her growing personal relationships with some of the most prominent artists and printmakers of this era. The overall arrangement of the series is generally alphabetical by subject heading, except for exhibition catalogs of group shows, which are arranged chronologically by year. Catalogs featuring a single artist are first arranged alphabetically by name of artist, thereafter, chronologically by year. Within individual folders the material is generally arranged chronologically by year. Individual artists found listed in this series may also have additional related files in Series 1, Artists Files and Series 4, Exhibition Files.
