This series contains letters, greeting cards, and notes; scattered loan and purchase records; and printed materials from or about people and institutions around the art world including collectors, colleges and universities, dealers, gallerists and galleries, historians, museums, and writers. Among the correspondents are Jack and Maryon Adelaar, Jourdan Arpelle, Peter Bellamy, Richard Bellamy, Paul Bianchi, Edgar Brunner, Steven H. Cardin, Leo Castelli, Ellen Donahue, Norman Dubrow, Elin Lake Ewald, David Findlay, Peter Frank, Dee and David Garrett, Francis Greenburger, Annie Herron, Sidney Janis, Poppy Johnson, Ralph and June Obler, Timotheus Pohl, Charles Rand Penny, Sandy Seawright, Riki Simons, and Bernadine Tabler. Many of the materials found here comment on the close and personal relationship between the Vogels and people within the art world. There are birthday cards, baby shower invitations and birth announcements, holiday cards, wedding invitations, and retirement cards. Fan mail includes short letters written to the Vogels, many concerning the Vogel's pledge to donate their artwork to the National Gallery of Art. Files titled 'jokes' contain clippings from comic strips. Files on museums and colleges and universities may include loan records and exhibition materials.
