Notebooks

Notebooks includes lists of private and public collectors, works sent to galleries and individuals, notes and writings, lists of people to whom books were sent, general lists of works and comments made on works. Of note is a portion of a notebook that contains a detailed description of Josef Albers’s painting methods. The Worklists series is similar to the notebooks subseries in its content but contains loose sheets of paper and additionally includes insurance values and collection reports.

[Binders and loose leaves in notebooks were disassembled and placed in folders, the label contained in quotes, e/g. “Lect” is the label on the original binder/notebook]
