Series 2: Correspondence with Individuals, 1945-1996
|
This series consists of correspondence between Cahill and numerous members of the Asian art community in his capacity as teacher, colleague and curator. Correspondents include other influential Asian art figures such as Richard M. Barnhart, Wen Fong, Shen Fu, Thomas Lawton, Lothar Ledderose, Sherman Lee, C.C. Wang, Fangyu Wang, Richard Vinograd and Nelson Wu, among others. Administrative correspondence with collectors and art dealers are also contained within this series, with both U.S. and Japanese dealers. Personal correspondence with friends outside of the art community, as well as personal letters to and from former students is also included in this series.
|
The folder descriptions were retained from Cahill's own folder titles, so the folder titles with just an alphabetical letter were not renamed. These one-alphabet folders often contain single-document correspondence with individuals or organizations, filed according to the alphabet of their names.
