Abstract:
Ludwig Goldscheider (1896-1973) was a prominent art historian, poet and translator, and co-founder, director, designer and editor of the Phaidon Press. The collection primarily documents Goldscheider's writings on art and artists. Materials include informal notes, drafts, printed copies of books with Goldscheider's edits, annotations and revisions, author's proofs, galleys, and some final published editions. There are also photographs, slides, and printed reproductions of artworks intended for private study as well as for publication. Complementing these materials is a collection of letters to and from Goldscheider in his capacity as a principal in the Phaidon publishing house and as a respected connoisseur and art historian.
