Scope and Content Note

The subseries contains eleven volumes of Knoedler's stock books for paintings acquired by the firm from 1872 to 1970.

The later volumes provide indices for the vendors from whom Knoedler acquired the paintings. The first two books record a variety of transactions, including joint acquisitions and commissions from other dealers, such as Goupil.

Series. I.C. London, 1894-1977

Physical Description: 36 Linear Feet (30 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

The acquisitions by the London branch of M. Knoedler & Co. are documented in several sets of stock books. These sets contain overlapping information and appear to have been used and maintained by the different offices of the firm. Before January 1928, artworks that had been assigned a stock number upon entering the stock of the London office, were assigned a different stock number when entering the stock of the New York office. Both offices developed separate numbering sequences. Beginning in January 1928 and with the stock number A1, there appears to have been an attempt to unify the numbering sequence of both offices. Other numbering systems consisting of the letters L or F preceding the number indicate inventory from the London and Paris offices, respectively. Are also included in this subseries stock books that were maintained by the London office, but which record transactions by the New York office.
Selected stock books in Series I.C. have been digitized and made available online. Connect to digitized London stock books.

Series III.  Commission books, 1879-1973

Physical Description: 24 Linear Feet (20 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

Series III. Commission books comprises 20 volumes documenting commissions or consignments. The terms "commission" and "consignment" appear to be used interchangeably in notations appearing throughout the volumes, but the term "commission" is prevalent in the primary set of volumes, which dates from 1879 to 1973. This set records transactions with collectors, artists and other dealers. Beginning in 1946, the firm differentiated works consigned by artists from other types of consignments, recording them in separate ledgers.
Before April 1892, commissions were recorded unnumbered. In April 30, 1892, a new numbering system was adopted with the commissions inventoried by the letter C preceding the numbers. Beginning in January 1928, commissions were inventoried with the letters CA preceding the numbers. For consignments from artists from 1946 to 1972, the letter S precedes the number.
Selected commission books in Series III have been digitized and made available online. Connect to digitized commission books.  

Arrangement

Series IV. Inventory cards, 1859-1971

Physical Description: 31 Linear Feet (72 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

Series IV. Inventory cards contains cards that record selected acquisitions, consignments and sales of paintings and watercolors by M. Knoedler & Co.'s offices in New York, London and Paris. Notations on the cards also document void transactions, owner credits and trades, and returns to the owner (RTO). While the cards duplicate information found in the stock, sales and commission books, they facilitate the retrieval of information in these ledgers for different types of searches, such as the names of artists, buyers or stock numbers. However, cards only exist for a limited number of M. Knoedler & Co.'s transactions.
In other to facilitate the consultation of the inventory cards, the Getty Research Institute plans on digitizing the entire Series IV.

Arrangement

Series IV. Inventory cards is filed according to seven types, which were defined by the Knoedler firm: customers; buyer-artist; artist-buyer; current alphabetical; current numerical; sold alphabetical; sold numerical.
Under the category Customers, cards contain a summary of transactions, including purchases, sales, consignments, and shared acquisitions with other dealers. Under the category Buyer-artist, each card records a single transaction.

Series VI. Correspondence, 1878-1971

Physical Description: 633.2 Linear Feet (1626 boxes, 5 flat file folders)

Scope and Content Note

Series VI. Correspondence, one of the largest series in the archive, consists primarily of the correspondence files maintained by the New York and the London offices of M. Knoedler & Co., but it also contains files from the firm's other offices in Paris and Chicago. The correspondence generally concerns possible sales or purchases of artworks, and occasionally features personal notes. Of particular interest is the interoffice correspondence between the New York, London, Paris, and Chicago offices, with notes or instructions directed to staff and information about sales, potential sales, clients, collectors, and collections. The archive contains interoffice correspondence files kept by each office. The correspondence of the firm's library in New York--kept separate from the firm's general correspondence--concerns requests for documentation and illustrations of artworks, inquiries about publications, and includes letters received from the firm's library in London.
Correspondence received or sent by the Knoedler firm may be part of the records of staff or associates of the Knoedler firm who subsequently worked at other institutions and may be in the holdings of these institutions. The Clark Art Institute has among its holdings records of William Collins, who worked for Knoedler before working at the Clark. The Paul Mellon Center in London holds correspondence files from the Knoedler Gallery, which were received among the records of Frank Simpson who worked at the Knoedler Gallery in London before working at the Paul Mellon Center.
Selected portions of Series VI. Correspondence have been digitized. To view online copies of letters preserved in letter copying books, connect to digitized letter copying books.  

Arrangement

Series VI. Correspondence is organized into the following subseries: Series VI.A. General correspondence; Series VI.B. Interoffice correspondence; Series VI.C. Library correspondence; Series VI.D. Copies of letters sent; Series VI.E. London office correspondence; Series VI.F. Other offices; Series VI.G. Correspondence dossiers.
 

Series VI.A. General correspondence, 1879-1971

Physical Description: 343 Linear Feet (806 boxes and 1 flatfile)

Scope and Content Note

Subseries VI.A. General correspondence contains letters received by the New York office of M. Knoedler Co. from clients, artists, banks, associates and other dealers. The files also include selected copies of letters sent by Knoedler. The correspondence includes letters of inquiries about sales, negotiations of prices, appraisals, loans of artworks for exhibitions, and occasionally personal notes. Each year of correspondence typically includes topical files, such as appraisals, asking prices, changes of attributions, donations, and legal files.

Alavoine & Cie.; Alma-Tadema, Lawrence; American Art Association; Anderson Galleries, Chicago; Arms, John Taylor; Arnold & Tripp; Avery, Milton; Bakst, Léon; Beaux, Cecilia; Bellows, George; Bernhardt, Sarah; Bernheim Jeune & cie.; Biddle, George; Bignou, Etienne; Blashfield, Edwin Howard; Bliss, Lillie; Bliss, Walter; Bloomingdale, Samuel J.; Bode, Wilhelm von; Bonheur, Rosa; Bourdelle, Emile Antoine; Boussoud, Valadon & Cie.; Breton, Jules; Ernest Brown & Phillips; Brush, George de Forest; Calder, Alexander; Carlisle, Mary Helen; Carnegie Institute; Cassirer, Paul; Cazin, Jean Charles and Marie; Count Cabannes; Chartran, Théobald; Chase, William M.; Church, Frederick S.

For letters written by the painter Winslow Homer to M. Knoedler & Co., also see the twelve letters dating from 1900 to 1904 held by the Archives of American Art and digitized in 2014 , and the letters from Homer to the firm that date from 1901-1902, 1904, 1908, and that are held at The Clark Art Institute.

Arrangement

The correspondence files were organized first by year and by alphabetical order for each year. Large files for certain associates, in particular the art dealer P. & D. Colnaghi, are divided in certain years by month of the year and between files of letters received and letters sent (i.e. "From Colnaghi January," "From Colnaghi February," ..., "To Colnaghi January," "To Colnaghi February," ...). In each alphabetical folder, such as Ab, Ac, the documents were roughly in the order received from January to December, rather than arranged by author. Topical folders, such as asking prices, are filed at the end of the alphabetical range. The correspondence files dating from 1921 to 1971 were generally kept in strict order, while the previous years were not and these have been filed according to the order found for later years.
Notations in pencil in the upper left corner of letters indicate the expected filing location. Typically, these notations simply identify the author of the letter, but in certain cases they suggest a topical filing or a cross-reference filing. Files for specific Knoedler staff or associates often appear under the name of the author of the letter. However, personal expenses of staff or traveling documentation of certain staff may be filed under the name of the staff member rather than the agency sending the letter.
Comments in the letters (i.e. "I am enclosing a photograph of the painting") suggest that these were often accompanied by photographs illustrating the artwork discussed. However, in most instances, the photographs are no longer with the letters, having been separated by Knoedler staff and filed under artworks in a different portion of the firm's records. These photographs are filed by artist and stock number in the portion of the archive now titled Series. VII. Photographs (Series VII.A. Artist files).

Series VI.B. Interoffice correspondence, 1911-1969

Physical Description: 60.3 Linear Feet (130 boxes and 1 flatfile)

Scope and Content Note

The interoffice correspondence consists of letters and cables received by the New York office from the other offices, primarily London and Paris, between 1911 and 1970. For the years 1929-1932, there are also correspondence files from an office in Chicago, and for the years 1935-1936 from one in Newport, R.I. The correspondence concerns sales, clients, artworks that are available for purchase, and general business concerns of the offices. There is usually for each year, a folder containing the lists of the works sold by each office or in storage at that location.

Arrangement

For each office, the interoffice correspondence was filed by year and month. Each year usually includes a folder containing the cables for that year and a folder containing lists of the works sold by the office or in storage at the office. There are also files for copies of letters sent by the New York office or files for copies received by each office from another one.

Series VI.C. Library correspondence, 1913-1971

Physical Description: 14.2 Linear Feet (24 boxes and 1 flatfile)

Scope and Content Note

The library correspondence, which was filed separately from the general correspondence of the New York office, mainly consists of correspondence between M. Knoedler & Co.'s librarian, Helmut Ripperger, and clients, art dealers, and museums between 1945 and 1971, and interoffice correspondence between the library of the New York office and those at the London and Paris offices between 1913 and 1971.

Arrangement

Arranged in two subseries: Series VI.C.1. General correspondence; Series VI.C.2. Interoffice correspondence.
 

Series VI.C.1. General correspondence, 1945-1971

Physical Description: 7.9 Linear Feet (19 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

The subseries consists mainly of the correspondence of Helmut Ripperger, M. Knoedler & Co.'s librarian, between 1945 and 1971. The correspondence details requests for catalogues by Helmut Ripperger and clients, requests for reference information about and photographs of artworks, offers and gifts of books, book/journal sales and purchases, and general administration.
The subseries includes correspondence to and from institutions such as Brooklyn Museum, University of California (Berkeley), Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Szépmuvészeti Múzeum (Budapest), Fogg Art Museum, Frick Art Reference Library, Guggenheim Museum, Harvard University (Cambridge), Chicago Arts Club, Chicago Art Institute, Cincinnati Art Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, Columbia University, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (Copenhagen), Copenhagen Royal Museum, Galerie Gerald Cramer, John Herron (Indianapolis), Currier Gallery (Manchester), Moroquain Inc., Hans Naef, Hispanic Society of America, Smith College (Northampton), National Gallery (Ottawa), Smith College, Wasmuth Antiquarian, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Yale University.
There are gaps in the correspondence for the files between 1945 and 1950.

Arrangement

The filing is first by alphabetical order and then by year for each alphabetical letter. For institutions, the filing is geographic by city, rather than alphabetically by names. In Series VI.A. General correspondence, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York was filed under M, while it is filed under N for New York in the Library correspondence. Names of persons are filed by last name as is the case in Series VI.A.

Selected copies may also be found filed with the letters received (Series VI.A).
Copies of letters preserved in letter copying books have been digitized by the Getty Research Institute and made available onlineare uploaded to the GRI's online catalog. Connect to digitized letter copying books.  

Arrangement

Arranged in two subseries: Series VI.D.1. Letter copying books; Series VI.D.2. Carbon copies.
 

Series VI.D.1.  Letter copying books, 1878-1940

Physical Description: 19.2 Linear Feet (205 volumes)

Scope and Content Note

Two hundred and five letter copying books document the letters sent by the New York office of M. Knoedler & Co. from 1890 to 1940. Although some books date from after 1931, the firm primarily switched to the use of loose carbon copies in 1931. Manufactured by H. C. Davison of New York, a firm with branches in Yokohama and Los Angeles, the copying books are bound volumes of thin, translucent tissue leaves, which Davison advertised as "Imperial fibre" or imported Japanese paper. The books are said to contain 500 leaves, but there may be inconsistencies in the numbering that was done by hand with a stamp. Knoedler staff listed the names of addressees with the corresponding number for the letter in the index located at the front of each book.
Due to their fragility, access to the letter books is restricted. The Getty Research Institute plans on digitizing the entire subseries Series VI.D.1. (205 volumes). To view online the letter copying books that have been digitized and uploaded to the GRI's online catalog, connect to digitized letter copying books.  

Arrangement

The books are arranged according to the following categories devised by the Knoedler firm: Domestic letters; Foreign letters; London; Paris; Chicago; Private letters; Telegrams and cables.

Series VI.D.2.  Carbon copies, 1931-1958

Physical Description: 57.9 Linear Feet (139 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

The subseries consists of carbon copies of letters and cables sent to clients and associates by the New York office of M. Knoedler & Co. between 1931 and 1958. There are gaps in the documentation for the following years: 1934-1941, 1949-1955, and 1957-1958.
The filing of these copies is useful as each letter is numbered and indexed, with the indices listing the recipients of the letters, such as names, institutions and companies. The index numbers may be stamped in the lower right corner of each letter or for the majority of them, handwritten. Most of the letters are single-page and single-sided, but the presence of double-sided letters and letters that have multiple pages leads to some discrepancies between index numbers and the index volume.

Arrangement

With the exception of the copies for the year 1958, which are not numbered or indexed, the letters are arranged by index number in descending order. Each indexed section has a corresponding index volume.
There are some discrepancies in the index numbers. Where there are letters with more than one page, sometimes the first page is the only one numbered and sometimes each sheet is numbered with the same number. There are instances where, when a letter has more than one page, each page has a different index number. There are also a few occurrences of two letters having the same number, with one of the letters not matching the index.
There are instances where the numbers, the primary filing principle, is not consistent with the chronological order of the letters. The majority of the letters falls within the chronological range of the indexed section, but there are exceptions. There are also cases of sections with overlapping dates, for example, there is an indexed section for May-July 1945, and another one for June 1945, each with its own index volume.

Physical Description: 54.9 Linear Feet (135 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

The Interoffice London correspondence includes letters from the New York and Paris offices to the London office and copies of letters sent from the London office to the New York and Paris offices.

Series VII. Photographs, approximately 1890-1971

Physical Description: 735.9 Linear Feet (1585 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

Series VII. Photographs contains photographic materials representing artworks handled by the firm of M. Knoedler & Co. in New York, London and Paris. There are approximately 100,000 photographs, along with research and descriptive information, which document artworks purchased and sold by the firm or on consignment at the firm, as well as artworks offered for sale to the firm, but not acquired. The bulk of the photographic files are the artist files maintained by the New York office (Series VII.A. Artist files). There are photographs that document restoration work done on artworks and files related to private collections that the firm helped develop.
Inventory numbers (stock numbers and other numbers):
1 to 17039*: Knoedler ownership, 1879-December 1927
A1-A9347: Knoedler ownership, January 1928 through 1971 AT: Knoedler owned jointly with Jack Tanzer
JA: Knoedler owned jointly with one or more owners
C: Consigned to Knoedler, -December 1927
CA: Consigned to Knoedler: January 1928-
F: Paris stock number
L: London stock number
S: artist on commission
SCA: work on consignment from the artist
*It is not always possible to distinguish these numbers from other numbers, such as negative numbers, receiving numbers, or numbers assigned by the London office that are not preceded by the letter L, without consulting the relevant stock books.

Arrangement

Series VII. Photographs is organized into the following subseries: Series VII.A. Artist files; Series VII.B. Photographic files from the London office; Series VII.C. Photographic files from the Paris office; Series VII.D. Other photographic files.
 

Series VII.A.  Artist files, approximately 1890-1971

Physical Description: 507.7 Linear Feet (1228 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

Due to its size, Series VII.A. is described in a separate finding aid. Click here for the finding aid   for this series. Series VII.A. is the main subseries in Series VII. Photographs. It consists of the files maintained by the firm of M. Knoedler & Co. in New York and it primarily represents artworks handled by the New York office. The photographs, along with research and descriptive information, document artworks purchased and sold by the firm or on consignment at the firm, as well as artworks offered for sale to the firm, but not acquired. In addition to photographs, each artist file typically includes "pedigree" documentation of the artworks, such as ownership history, bibliographies, and expertise documentation. The photographs provide a visual record of the condition of the artwork at the time it was in the firm's stock and enable to distinguish works with similar titles or works whose titles have changed over time. Often they are the last record of works whose location is presently unknown.
The titles indicated for the works are derived from the titles that Knoedler staff assigned to the works in the stock books, the sales books, and the inventory cards. When possible, abbreviations of the titles in the archive have been expanded and spelling mistakes corrected, but no attempt has been made to update the titles to current standards. When different sources in the archive provided titles that differed considerably, the different versions have been listed, when possible.
The photographs were listed by inventory numbers, including stock numbers and other numbers:
1 to 17039*: Knoedler ownership, 1879-December 1927
A1-A9347: Knoedler ownership, January 1928 through 1971
AT: Knoedler owned jointly with Jack Tanzer
JA: Knoedler owned jointly with one or more owners
C: Consigned to Knoedler, -December 1927
CA: Consigned to Knoedler: January 1928-
F: Paris stock number
L: London stock number
S: artist on commission
SCA: work on consignment from the artist
*It is not always possible to distinguish these numbers from other numbers, such as negative numbers, receiving numbers, or numbers assigned by the London office that are not preceded by the letter L, without consulting the relevant stock books.
The Getty Research Institute plans on digitizing a portion of Series VII. Photographs through Spring 2018. Please contact the GRI to ensure that the specific boxes you need to consult are available before visiting the Getty Research Library's Reading Room. Portions of Series VII.A. will be unavailable for research during the digitization. Selected portions of the archive have been digitized and made available online. Connect to selected digitized portions of the archive.  

Arrangement

Series VII.A. Artist files are arranged by alphabetical order of artist names according to the filing devised by the firm. The spelling used for artist names has been retained, as well as filings such as "American Interest," "American School," "Anonymous," "Bronzes," "Chinese paintings," "Flemish School, Early," "Unknown," and cross-references provided in the artist files.
The files maintained by the London and Paris offices were kept separate from those of the New York office and are described in Series VII.B and Series VII.C. However, there are photographs in Series VII.A. that appear to have been removed from the photographic materials maintained by the other offices. These have been left in situ.
The titles indicated for the works are derived from the titles that Knoedler staff assigned to the works in the stock books, the sales books, and the inventory cards. When possible, abbreviations of the titles in the archive have been expanded and spelling mistakes corrected, but no attempt has been made to update the titles to current standards. When different sources in the archive provided titles that differed considerably, the different versions have been listed, when possible.
 

Series VII.B.  Photographic files from the London office, approximately 1900-1971

Physical Description: 123.5 Linear Feet (90 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

Series VII.B. Photographic files from the London office primarily consists of photographs, but may also include "pedigree" documentation of the artworks and copies of related correspondence. The photographs are usually identified by the stock number assigned to them by the London office and may be annotated with the stock number used by the office in New York. If both New York and London numbers are used, the London number is often enclosed in parentheses. London stock numbers may be preceded by the letter L and are lower numerically than the New York stock numbers. Stock numbers appear on the verso of the photographs or on the original housing of the photographs.
Note that the files that were maintained by the office in New York (Series VII.A.) appear to contain files from the office in London. The London files may have been partially integrated with the New York files after the closing of the office in London. The filing system by alphabetical order of artist names, which was maintained by the office in London, is similar to the one used by the office in New York, which would have facilitated the integration of the two groups of files. Series VII.B. therefore consists of the London files that were housed separately from the files in Series VII.A. upon receipt of the archive in Los Angeles. Files in Series VII.A., which appear to be London files, have been left in situ in Series VII.A.
By contrast, the Paris office used a distinct system of filing. This may explain the relatively small size of Series VII.B. in comparison to Series VII.C.

Arrangement

Series VII.B. London office photographic files are arranged alphabetically by artist name in a system that sometimes diverges from the one used by the office in New York. The London office's arrangement and spelling used for artist names has been retained and a note is included for each artist that is filed under a different form of name in the New York files, Series VII.A.
The photographic files maintained by the office in London that appear to have been integrated by Knoedler staff with the files maintained by the office in New York have been left in situ in Series VII.A.
Series VII.B. is arranged into two groupings: Artist files and Albums.

Access Information

Items in conservation include the following files: Dance, Nathaniel; Jackson, John; Jervas, Charles.
 

Artist files, approximately 1900-1971

Scope and Content Note

The artist files maintained by the office in London follow the same general order as the files from the office in New York: the arrangement is by alphabetical order of artist names. However, each office may have used variant spellings or forms of artist names. These variants have been noted.
