Scope and content:

Series IV consists of clippings by or about Greenberg, sometimes grouped with related manuscripts. There are clippings of virtually all reviews published in The Nation in the 1940s (ca. 150 items), but only a few of those published in Partisan Review or Commentary. There are also Greenberg clippings (ca. 100) from art magazines and New York Times in the 1950s and 1960s and 26 catalogs and programs containing Greenberg contributions. Files on Pollock, Morris Louis, David Smith, and Jack Bush contain assorted materials, including photographs and slides of art work, transcripts of interviews, and estate papers. Pollock material includes drafts of an intended introduction to a book on Pollock that Greenberg never completed. David Smith material includes clippings and correspondence (ca. 50 pp.) about the Smith paint stripping controversy. There are clippings and manuscripts of interviews with Greenberg, some never published, clippings of articles about Greenberg, and reviews of books about him.
