Scope and Contents note
Series contains letters, Christmas cards, and postcards to Bernard and Rebecca Reis from over 100 art world figures, including
artists, museum officials, and critics, many of whom were also clients of Bernard Reis's accounting firm. Typically, these
letters discuss the purchase of art works, loans of works from the Reis's collection, social engagements, and travels, and
include requests for financial advice. There are numerous items from William Congdon, who discusses his travels and philosophy
of painting (1954-1984); Helen Frankenthaler, who writes from summer vacations on Cape Cod and includes inscriptions from
Robert Motherwell (1950-1970); and George Grosz, who requests financial advice and discusses his assignments for
Esquire magazine (1935-1958). Marc and Vava Chagall and their daughter Ida discuss planning for exhibitions and travels. One group
of letters deals with Chagall's royalties and unauthorized reproductions of his work (1956-1985). Material concerning Jacques
Lipchitz includes letters from Jacques, Berthe, and Yulla Lipchitz and papers detailing loans and sales of Lipchitz's work
(1931-1964). Letters from Peggy Guggenheim discuss purchases and sales of art works, the 1971 robbery at her palazzo in Venice,
and legal and tax issues relating to the Peggy Guggenheim Foundation (1950-1977). A file of material relates to the Foundation
and Guggenheim's will (1968-1981).
Correspondence includes painted, illustrated, and collaged cards by Elise Asher, Abe Birnbaum, William Congdon, Julio De Diego,
Helen Frankenthaler, George Grosz, Larry Rivers, Hans Richter, Lucy and Attilio Salemme, and Ernst and Karin Van Leyden. The
papers also include materials relating to the Reis's art collection (inventories, estimates, and requests for loans or purchases);
legal and financial documents (many facsimile copies) relating to the Rothko estate, as well as to Reis's bankruptcy and Rebecca
Reis's lawsuit; and a few personal items such as Rebecca Reis's diary (1945).
