General files, Series I. 1956-1990

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).

Artists, Series II.A. ca. 1959-1990

Physical Description: 163 box(es)

Scope and Contents note

Series II.A. is filed alphabetically and contains files on artists Panza collected, including Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Larry Bell, Louis Cane, Alan Charlton, Hanne Darboven, Douglas Davis, Walter De Maria, Jan Dibbets, Jean Fautrier, Dan Flavin, Hamish Fulton, Douglas Huebler, Robert Irwin, Peter Joseph, Donald Judd, Franz Kline, Joseph Kosuth, Bob Law, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Long, Robert Mangold, Brice Marden, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, Richard Nonas, Maria Nordman, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Mark Rothko, Robert Ryman, Richard Serra, Antoni Tàpies, David Tremlett, James Turrell, Lawrence Weiner, Douglas Wheeler, and Ian Wilson. Each art work has its own file and is labeled according to Panza's inventory system of the artist's initials and numbered sequentially. Material in the work files consists of invoices; shipping documents; correspondence with galleries and artists; loan agreements; photographs of the work installed at the villa, photographs from galleries and of important documents in the archive; some small drawings and sketches (see especially Larry Bell, Robert Irwin, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Richard Serra and James Turrell); and copies of certificates of authenticity. Work files have many photocopies and photographs of documents intended as cross-references. There are also miscellaneous files of personal correspondence with the artist, gallery correspondence, announcements and invitations, photographs, works not in the collection, shipment and invoice documents and miscellaneous. Miscellaneous personal correspondence files contain letters from artists regarding personal matters, schedule and work updates, installation instructions and theoretical discussions. Miscellaneous gallery correspondence consists of correspondence with prominent gallery owners and directors, invoices, lists of works offered with descriptions and prices, financial arrangements and loan forms. There are original photographs of works solicited by galleries to Panza, sometimes of substantial quantity. Announcements and invitations files contain postcards, brochures, catalogs, posters and artists' books. Every item in each file is numbered sequentially, usually on the verso. Occasionally the numbers have been mistakenly duplicated or skipped. Consult Appendix C for an item-level index. It should be noted that when the index states "drawing" or "certificate" the files generally contain either photocopies or photographic copies. Most of the originals remain with Panza. [N.B. there is a group of boxes at the end of the collection (X1-15, ca. 6 lin. ft.) housing photocopies of certain items by some of the Minimal and Conceptual artists in this series.]
