Scope and Content of Collection
The Giuseppe Panza Papers document the Italian businessman's considerable activities in collecting contemporary art. Panza
collected works by some of the seminal American artists involved with Abstract Expressionist, Pop, Minimal, Conceptual, Environmental,
and Light and Space art. The archive contains material from the time when he began collecting in 1956 up to the sale of the
second part of his collection to the Guggenheim Museum, New York, in 1990. The portion of the archive relating to his most
recent acquisitions from 1987 onward, remains in Panza's possession.
The archive has letters and other materials pertaining to Panza's various art related activities and much about his museum
programs. He contacted many museum directors and Italian officials to garner support for his proposals to create museums utilizing
works from his collection. Panza's art collection is documented by correspondence with and about artists and galleries, photographs,
small drawings, invoices, loan requests, announcements and invitations, that were accumulated by Panza during the acquisition
process and throughout his entire ownership period. There is also much ephemera, photographs and some correspondence with
artists that Panza did not collect. The archive also includes a substantial quantity of Panza's writings on art; papers and
ephemera related to Panza's associations with museums, galleries and cultural institutions; clippings and photocopies of articles
on the collection; and an extensive group of architectural drawings of potential sites for the collection, many with Panza's
installation designs.
Indices exist for Series II, III, VIII and Panza's "drawings" collection.
Arrangement note
The collection is organized in nine series: Series I. General files, 1956-1990; Series II. Works in the collection, 1959-1990;
Series III. Writings, 1956-1990; Series IV. Miscellaneous artists, 1969-1990; Series V. Museums, 1959-1990, bulk 1970s-1980s;
Series VI. Galleries, 1959-1990; Series VII. Photographs, ca. 1959-1990; Series VIII. Clippings, ca. 1960-1990; Series IX.
Architectural drawings, ca. 1974-1990.
Related Material
Seven binders contain photocopies of the index housed in Boxes 156 A-B. The index is an item-level description of everything
in Series IIA. Artists. The files are grouped alphabetically by artist and sub-divided into categories of works, miscellaneous
personal correspondence, miscellaneous gallery correspondence, announcements and invitations, photographs, works not in the
collection (i.e. deaccessioned), shipment and invoice documents and miscellaneous. Each sheet describing an art work is marked
in the upper right hand corner with Panza's inventory system of the artist's initials and numbered sequentially and with its
corresponding box and folder number. The index was made by Panza's family (see Processing History).
It should be noted that the titles and dimensions listed in the index for the works now at Museum of Contemporary Art, Los
Angeles (MOCA) have been updated by that institution's registrarial office. Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA)
should be consulted for more details.
A separate binder has photocopies of the indices for Panza's Primitive collection and the clippings series.
Alternate Form Available
Sections of Series II.A available in photocopies.
Processing History
The archive was extensively organized by members of Panza's family. Giovanni Panza, Panza's son, from 1987-1989 divided all
the material according to artist and subject. Giuseppina Caccia Dominioni Panza, Panza's daughter, began in 1989 to check
Giovanni's previous work, made files, matched photographs to each work and put all the papers into folders and boxes. In 1990
Cristiana Caccia Dominioni as well as Francesca Guicciardi Panza, daughter in-law of Panza, began helping Giuseppina. Francesca
checked all of the physical descriptions of the works of the collection. As of 1995, all three women worked three mornings
a week in Lugano on the archive supporting the art Panza currently collects. Lynda Bunting at the Getty Center began physical
processing and description of the archive March 1994 and finished May 1995.
The leather boxes were handmade by the Rilegatoria Conti Borbone di Marchesifirm in Milan. Four empty boxes and some folders
have been placed at the end of the collection for replacements.

Container Summary: 36 lin. ft. 94 boxes
Scope and Contents note
Series I contains correspondence and other material primarily relating to Panza's collection, and also about art and culture
in general, filed alphabetically by correspondent or institution. Of particular interest are files pertaining to Panza's attempt
to install his collection for the general public in museums and renovated villas and factories throughout Europe and the United
States (especially in Mönchengladbach, Düsseldorf, Basel, Castello di Rivoli, Vigevano and his own villa in Varese). These
files contain much correspondence with museum directors and curators, architectural drawings, and a very large quantity of
installation designs by Panza which record a focused and methodical approach to curating the collection. Concurrent correspondence
with Beni Culturali officials, lawyers and others document Panza's legal problems associated with changes in Italian cultural
patrimony laws and tax codes, which affected the eventual sale of part of the collection to the Museum of Contemporary Art,
Los Angeles (MOCA) in 1984. There is other correspondence with critics, such as Germano Celant and Pierre Restany, and some
with collectors, art world personalities and personal friends. Other material documents Panza's affiliations with various
cultural associations, institutions and conferences, such as the Amici di Brera and the International Council of Museums (ICOM).

photographs are duplicates of prints in Series II.A including photographs which serve as copies of original documents, such
as certificates, artists' correspondence and drawings. The last three boxes are photographs of Panza's Primitive and decorative
arts collections, photographs of Gino Meloni's work and miscellaneous exhibitions. The photographs were primarily shot by
Gian Sinigaglia, Giorgio Colombo and Panza, but some were also by Ugo Mulas in Spring 1961. This series only has Sinigaglia
reprints of those originally shot by Panza (see especially Varese installations of Pop art bordered at the bottom with a white
strip), and also contains Sinigaglia reprints of those originally shot by Mulas (for originals see box 265). Colombo, Panza's
current photographer, holds most of the negatives and has made prints of Sinigaglia's photographs.
