Series 1: Interviews with Artists, Collectors, and Curators (Boxes 1-8)
Biographical / Historical:
The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago was founded in 1967 with Jan van der Marck as its first Director. The period from 1979 to 1986, represented in the videorecordings in this collection, was a period of physical expansion for the Museum, as well as a period when audiovisual components of artworks and exhibition design were increasingly incorporated into exhibitions and other programming. In 1979, a physical expansion of the museum begun in 1977 was unveiled with the opening of four new galleries, signaling an increased capacity for showing local and emerging contemporary artists and engaging the community.

The museum's education department began using video to create a rich record of solo and group exhibitions mounted at the museum, and created short video programs to reach out to new audiences. For their 1979 Wall Paintings exhibition, artists were interviewed while making their work in the museum, creating a visual record of the ephemeral works on display and the process of their creation. Video interviews with Detroit artists were created in preparation for a 1981 exhibition showing contemporary artists in the Cass Corridor community of that city. In 1983, Museum staff collaborated with Chicago's N.A.M.E. gallery to create the traveling exhibition Eleven Chicago Artists, which combined artwork with video documentaries showing artists at work and talking about their creative process. The exhibition traveled to city and suburban schools around Chicago. And on the centenary of the birth of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1986, interviews were conducted with Mies' grandson, Dirk Lohan, also an architect, as well as architectural historians George Danforth and Franz Schulze.

Biographical / Historical:
Painter, muralist, and educator Charles Pollock (1902-1988) lived and worked in East Lansing, Michigan, New York City, Detroit, and Paris, France and painted in a social realist style early in his career before transitioning to abstract works in the 1940s. He is also the eldest brother of the abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock.

Born in Denver, Colorado to Stella McClure and LeRoy Pollock, Pollock received his early art training at the Otis Institute in Los Angeles, California. In 1926, he moved to New York City to attend the Art Students League where he studied under Thomas Hart Benton, with whom Jackson also studied after joining Charles in New York in 1930. In New York, he met and married his first wife, Elizabeth Feinberg Pollock, in 1931.

Pollock moved to Washington, D.C. in 1935 to work for the Resettlement Administration, and after two years, accepted a position as the political illustrator for the United Automobile Workers' newspaper in Detroit. After a short stint as the illustrator and layout editor for the paper, Pollock served as the supervisor of the Michigan WPA Mural Painting and Graphic Arts division from 1938 to 1942.

Upon completion of a three panel mural for Michigan State University in 1942, Pollock was invited to join the faculty of the art department, where he taught lettering, printmaking, typography, and design. During his twenty-five year tenure at the University, he also served as a book designer for the University's Press and continued to develop his abstract painting style. He met and married his second wife, Sylvia Winter Pollock, in 1957. Pollock served as the University of Pennsylvania's artist in residence in 1965 and 1967, and was the recipient of a National Foundation of Arts Grant (1967) and a Guggenheim Grant (1967-1968). The Pollocks moved to Paris in 1970, where Charles died of complications from a stroke in 1988.

Biographical Note:
American sculptor, Adolph Alexander Weinman was born on December 11, 1870 in Germany and came to New York City in 1880. At the age of fifteen, he attended evening classes at Cooper Union. He later studied at the Art Students League. When he was twenty years old, he entered the studio of Philip Martiny and later worked with Olin Warner, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Charles Henry Niehaus, and Daniel Chester French. In 1904, Weinman opened his own studio, and in the same year created the Destiny of the Red Man for the St. Louis Exposition. In 1923, he moved his studio to Forest Hills, New York, where he lived until his death.

Among Weinman's more notable sculpture commissions are the General Alexander Macomb Memorial in Detroit, Michigan, Alexander Johnston Cassatt and Samuel Rea for the Pennsylvania Railroad Terminal in New York City, the Seated Lincoln for Hodgenville, Kentucky, and sculptural group Riders of the Dawn at Brookgreen Gardens, South Carolina. In 1915, he designed The Rising Sun and Descending Night fountains for the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. In the following year he designed the "Mercury" dime and "Walking Liberty" half dollar for the U. S. Mint. Weinman also created friezes for the U. S. Supreme Court building, and pediments for the National Archives building, the U. S. Post Office Department Building, and for the Jefferson Memorial, all in Washington, D. C.

Weinman was a member of many organizations, including the National Sculpture Society, of which he was president from 1927 to 1930, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the National Institute of Arts and Letters, the National Academy of Design, and the New York City Art Commission.

Adolph A. Weinman died on August 8, 1952, in Port Chester, New York.

Summary:
The collection documents Parke, Davis and Company, one of the largest and oldest pharmaceutical firms in America.
Scope and Contents:
The collection documents Parke, Davis and Company, one of America's oldest and largest drug makers. Parke, Davis had the first research laboratory in the American pharmaceutical industry. The company played a major role in the development of some of the principle new drugs of the twentieth century and pioneered the field of drug standardization. They were one of the first American firms to produce antitoxins, hormones, and other biologicals. They introduced new and important drugs such as adrenalin, dilantin, chlorenpleniol, and other antibiotics. They also did important research on vitamins, disinfectants, and pencillin.

The collection contains complete documentaion of all the research activities done, including research laboratory notes, correspondence, and published papers. The collection also contains corporate, financial, advertising and sales materials, photographs, and audiovisual materials. The collection is important for those researchers interested in the history of public health, the history of biologicals, pharmaceutical manufacturing and business history.

Historical:
Parke, Davis and Company traces it's origins to Samuel Pearce Duffield (1833-1916), a physician and pharmacist. Duffield was born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and his family moved to Detroit when he was an infant. Duffield graduated from the University of Michigan in 1854 and he attended medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, latter leaving for Germany where he studied chemistry and sought treatment for his eyesight. He subsequently earned a Doctor of Philosophy from Ludwig University at Giessen in Germany. Duffield returned to Detroit in 1858 and established a retail drugstore with a strong interest in manufacturing pharmaceuticals. Duffield sought financial partners for his retail and manufacturing venture with A.L. Patrick and Francis C. Conant. Both men retracted their investments and Duffield met Hervey Coke Parke (1927-1899), a native of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Duffield and Parke formed a formal partnership in 1866. George S. Davis, a third partner and traveling salesman previously with Farrand, Sheley and Company, was added 1867. Augustus F. Jennings joined the company as a partner to head manufacturing. The company became known as Duffield, Parke, Davis, & Jennings Company. Duffield withdrew in 1869 and the name Parke, Davis & Company was adopted in 1871. The company incorporated in 1875 and began planning world-wide scientific expeditions to discover new vegetable drugs such as Guarana, Bearsfoot, Eucalyptus Globulus, and Coca. The company first showed a profit in 1876, and the first dividend paid to shareholders in 1878 and dividends paid until mid-1960s. Research was a major activity of the company.

In 1907, Parke, Davis and Company bought 340 acres in northeast Avon Township, Michigan, and called it Parkedale Farm. The farm was dedicated on October 8, 1908, and included sterilization rooms and a vaccine propagating building. By 1909 the farm included 200 horses, 25 to 50 cattle, 150 sheep, and employed 20 men. The horses produced the antitoxin for diphtheria and tetanus, the cattle produced a vaccine for smallpox preventatives, and the sheep made serum. Only the healthiest animals were used and all were well cared for. Exotic plants were also grown on the site and used for drugs. Parke-Davis' chief products were antitoxins and vaccines as well as farm crops for feeding the animals. The farm continued to produce vaccines for diphtheria, scarlet fever, tetanus, smallpox, anthrax, and in the 1950s, the Salk polio vaccine.

Due to a weakening financial position, the company became susceptible to take-over, and was purchased by Warner-Lambert in 1970. Warner Lambert, was then acquired by Pfizer in 2000. In 2007, Pfizer closed its research facilities in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Drug Industry Documents was created by the University of California San Francisco Library in collaboration with faculty members C. Seth Landefeld, MD and Michael Steinman, MD. Originally established to house documents from an off-label marketing lawsuit against Parke-Davis (United States of America ex rel. David Franklin vs. Parke-Davis), the archive has grown to include documents from additional sources illustrating how the pharmaceutical industry, academic journals and institutions, continuing medical education organizations and regulatory/funding agencies operate in ways that are detrimental to public health.

Date:
circa 1931
General:
Ellen Shipman designed the gardens of Rose Terrace (also known as Rose Terrace II), in 1931 for Anna Dodge (widow of Horace E. Dodge) and her second husband, Hugh Dillman. The 8.8-acre estate was situated on Lake St. Clair in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, at 12 Lake Shore Drive on the site of her home, identified as Rose Terrace I, and the original Country Club of Detroit. The original house and the clubhouse were both razed to make way for the new home and gardens identified as Rose Terrace II – only the steps leading down to the terraced rose gardens remained from Rose Terrace I.The new home, Rose Terrace II, was designed by the Philadelphia architect, Horace Trumbaur, in the French, Louis XV chateau style modeled after the Gilded Age estate, "Miramar," in Newport, Rhode Island. Mrs. Dodge requested that Shipman create landscape in keeping with the scheme of the house, though eighteenth-century French gardens were not typical of her style. Shipman's office generated nearly 100 drawings and plans for the challenging site, which was a flat and characterless expanse, except for its view of the lake. The gardens Shipman created for Rose Terrace II were characterized by a juxtaposition of broad proportions and wide horizontal plains combined with meticulously edged lawns and delicate detailing, capturing the intricacy and grandiosity of French landscape design. The parterre, a common feature of French gardens, featured geometric shapes with pristine carpet beds of flowers, boxwood, and distinct edging. Around the parterre, a broad dirt or gravel walk led to the terraces above and below. While the specific stylistic treatment had limited Shipman's characteristic expressiveness, her style is seen in many of the plantings that screened and divided spaces. Anna Dodge resided in "Rose Terrace II" until her death, at which time the house and gardens were demolished, and the land was subdivided. Persons Associated: Anna Thompson Dodge (former owner); Hugh Dillman (former owner); Horace Trumbaur (architect, 1930); Ellen Biddle Shipman (landscape architect, 1931).

The Birches (Grosse Pointe, Michigan)
United States of America -- Michigan -- Wayne -- Grosse Pointe
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets, a planting list and a garden features plan.
General:
This riparian garden is characterized by a contrast of sweeping central vistas towards the lake and a series of intimate spaces both around the house and along the progression down to the shore of Lake St. Clair. A long swath of gently descending lawn is framed by naturalistic plantings of trees and shrubs reminiscent of Jens Jensen's landscape designs of the Midwest. The garden features many hardscape elements which serve to define 'outdoor rooms' and dining spaces as well as to create level terraced areas on sloping ground. Natural materials such as stone, rocks, and gravel predominate the design. On the east side, a slender formal garden is formed between the house and the property line. Geometric patterns, linear and curvilinear, are created along a brick and block lined gravel path defined by boxwood hedges. On the lake side a large flagstone patio extends nearly the width of the house creating a large outdoor dining and relaxing space. The formal fountain is centered along the house wall. A low brick wall borders the patio beyond which a hedge of shrub rose softens the transition from patio to lawn. The sloping lawn leads to stone steps and a flagstone patio by a curved pool.
The lot, on which the garden is situated, is a large trapezoidal area measuring 103' x 496' x 102' x 540'. The dimensions of this lot reflect the cultural and economic history of the Detroit area. Farms in the 18th and 19th centuries were laid out on long narrow strips of land called 'ribbon farms.' This was due to the need for proximity to water to sustain farm life. The placement of the residence in the middle distance of the lot provides a physical and visual stopping point. The entry drive features a hedge of arborvitae. The driveway guides the eye up to the circular front entrance. Four river birch trees act as a focal point to the center of the circle. On the lake side of the property the strict geometric form of the narrow lot is balanced by the organic curvilinear beds and water features. Different textures and layers of plant materials as well as subtle mounding of the lawn soften the hard contours of the site.
Water features in various forms provide the dominant theme and design interest in this garden. The main focus of the design is the long view toward Lake St. Clair. The wetland corner of the property provides a natural riparian element unique to this coastal area in which seawalls define the extended shoreline. Other water features include a rill of circulated water which splashes down along the descending west edge of the property over a rocky bed and occasionally overflows into the wetlands. A more formal waterfall gently cascades over a semi-circle of rocks from a raised warm water pool into a cool water pool. The kinetic sculpture above the pools repeats the rhythmic movement of the water. Two fountains, one formal on the terrace and one more intimate in the walled garden provide focal points to the area.
Persons associated with the garden include Ruth W. Prescott (former owner, 1941), Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Bodman, (former owner, 1956), Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor Bodman, (former owners, 1964), Keith Dessinger, (landscape designer, 2009), and Larry Smith (landscape designer, 2011).

Biographical/Historical note:
Specializing in moving and replanting large trees, Lewis & Valentine was one of the most prominent landscape contracting companies in the eastern United States during the first half of the twentieth century. The Lewis & Valentine Company was formed by five brothers whose father had hoped that his sons would grow up to be lawyers. Instead, the Lewis brothers formed a landscape design, installation and nursery firm that specialized in developing "successful methods for transplanting full-grown trees." Their success was based on "doing well the task which is usually considered impossible."

The company was the inspiration of H.C. Lewis, the oldest of seven brothers, who believed that estate owners should have the luxury of immediate landscapes, rather than waiting decades for their landscapes to mature. The Lewis brothers started their business in the early 1900s. Shortly afterwards, a Mr. Valentine, roommate of Albert Addison Lewis at the Amherst Landscape School in Massachusetts, invested in the business. After three years Mr. Valentine moved on and the Lewis brothers bought back his interest, but continued to keep Valentine part of the company's name.

Lewis & Valentine was the largest firm in America devoted to transplainting mature trees in the years leading up to the Great Depression. It claimed to be "the most experienced and most versatile, backed by an intimate knowledge of horticulture and the development of fine estates." The company was noted as a leader in providing complete landscape services, from selling and guaranteeing the plants, to designing and installation, requiring that its staff be men "of good character and not afraid of hard work." This was evident in the firm's principle of no limitations to the size of trees that they were willing to deliver. The trees were often full-grown and ranged in age from twenty to a hundred years old. Many were so large that 20 or more tons of earth had to be moved during the relocation process.

During its first 25 years in business, Lewis & Valentine opened nineteen offices east of the Mississippi serving such notable clients as Charles A. Schwab and Pierre du Pont at his estate, Longwood. The business was set up as an organization of independent companies. Each was incorporated under the laws of the state in which it operated. The offices were located in Connecticut (Darien), Florida (Palm Beach), Illinois (Chicago), Maryland (Baltimore), Massachusetts (Boston and Hanover), Michigan (Detroit), Pennsylvania (Ardmore and Pittsburg), New Jersey (Ashbury Park and Morristown), New York (Buffalo, Roslyn-Long Island, Rye, Valley Stream-Long Island, New York City), North Carolina (Winston-Salem) and Ohio (Cleveland and Cincinnati). Although no longer owned by any members of the Lewis family, the company still exists and operates in Long Island under the name Lewis & Valentine Nurseries.
