Series III: Artist Files, 1971-1991

The artist files contain information about artwork offered by Peter H. Davidson & Co. They are arranged first by artist and then by artwork. At a minimum, the files usually include a photograph of the artwork and a description. The descriptions usually include the artist name, birth and death dates, title of the piece, medium, size, date of execution, short narrative, list of previous owners, and a list of exhibitions the piece appeared in. Some files may also contain research notes and material about the piece, invoices for restoration, correspondence regarding provenance research or restoration, or in rare cases, exhibit loan agreements. There is a notebook containing information about photographs for re-ordering purposes, as well as a folder of slides at the end of the series.
