Photographs in this series depict mostly artwork of gallery inventory, and a smaller amount of non-gallery artwork. Filed within the gallery inventory photographs are also photographs of installations, and occasional correspondence related to particular images. Provenance, sales, and exhibition records found interfiled with related photographs have been left in place. Also found are twenty-seven folders of photographs of artists. Most of the photographs are black and white and many are filed along with slides or transparencies.
