Abstract: Series II of the Harald Szeemann
papers contains artist files on more than 24,000 artists. In addition to fine arts
artists, Harald Szeemann created artist files for architects, composers, musicians,
film directors, authors and philosphers. The contents of the artist files vary
widely from artist to artist, but may include artist statements; artist proposals;
biographies; correspondence; exhibition announcements; news clippings; notes;
photographs of works of art, exhibitions of the artist; posters; resumes; and
original works of art. Due to its size, Series II is described in a separate finding
aid. The main finding aid for the Harald Szeemann papers is available here: http://hdl.handle.net/10020/cifa2011m30
