Biographical/ Historical Note
Edmund Teske was an American photographer, poet and teacher who gained prominence through his work photographing the Taliesin
Fellowship of Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Chicago in 1911, Teske studied art, acting and set design.
A primarily self-taught photographer, he had his first formal photography exhibition at the Blackstone Theatre, Chicago, in
1933. While employed at a commercial photography studio in Chicago, he was exposed to the work of a number of prominent contemporary
photographers and artists, including Edward Weston, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Anton Bruehl, Man Ray, and Georgia
O'Keeffe.
In 1936 Teske visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin workshop in Spring Green, Wisconsin, and was invited to become a member
of the Fellowship. While there, he set up his first photographic studio and was instrumental in chronicling some of Wright's
early buildings. Teske taught briefly at the New Bauhaus School of Design in Chicago, and also worked for a time with Paul
Strand and Leo Hurwitz's anti-fascist company, Frontier Films. During World War II, Teske performed aerial mapping for the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In 1943 he traveled to Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West Studio in Scottsdale, Arizona, once
more photographing the Fellowship.
Teske moved to Los Angeles in 1943, where he initially worked as a still photographer for Paramount Pictures. He became a
close friend and assistant to Aline Barnsdall, for whom Frank Lloyd Wright had completed three structures including Olive
Hill Studio Residence B where Teske lived. In 1949, after Residence B was slated for demolition, Teske moved to Topanga Canyon.
Among his friends and associates were Minor White, Aaron Siskind, George Herms, sculptor Tony Smith and his actress wife Jane
Lawrence, and Richard DeMille, son of movie director Cecil B. DeMille.
In 1958 Teske developed the technique of duotone solarization, a method that reversed highlight and shadow, which became characteristic
of much of his work. Teske's work has been exhibited widely at institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York,
the Art Institute of Chicago, the Pasadena Art Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Ceeje Gallery in Los
Angeles. He taught at the Chouinard Art Institute of Los Angeles (now the California Institute for the Arts) and other institutions.
In the 1970s and 1980s Teske also became known for his "photo-grabs," which were informal auctions of his work in his studio
to friends, associates and former students. Teske died in 1996.

Scope and Content of Collection
The papers provide both an overview of, and unique insight into Teske's creative processes, influences and relationships.
In Series I, correspondents include Frank Lloyd Wright, Paul Strand, Edgar Tafel, and Aline Barnsdall. Of particular note
are fourteen letters from Minor White, in which he provides an in-depth assessment of Teske’s aesthetic development. Teske's
correspondence also chronicles his interactions with museums and galleries such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the
Art Institute of Chicago, the George Eastman House, and the Witkin Gallery. Series I also includes personal documents, sketches
and ephemera.
Professional files in Series II relate to Teske's exhibitions from 1960 to 1995, his photo-grabs in the 1970s, and his teaching
and speaking engagements from 1960 to 1991. Materials include exhibition ephemera, correspondence, loan agreements, newspaper
clippings, course catalogs, enrollment lists and workshop ephemera.
Series III contains writings by Teske, recordings and transcripts of interviews, and writings and artworks by others. Among
Teske's writings are poetry from 1940 to 1980, a six-volume draft of his autobiography, and essays on photography written
between 1939 and the 1970s. Interviews date primarily to the 1970s and 1980s. Among the published and unpublished writings
and artworks by other artists are materials by Edward Weston, Bob Alexander, mail art from Wallace Berman, and invitations
to George Herms's Tap City Circus events.
