Scope and Content Note
Series contains
letters, Christmas cards, and postcards to Bernard and Rebecca Reis from over
100 art world figures, including artists, museum officials, and critics, many
of whom were also clients of Bernard Reis's accounting firm. Typically, these
letters discuss the purchase of art works, loans of works from the Reis's
collection, social engagements, and travels, and include requests for financial
advice. There are numerous items from William Congdon, who discusses his
travels and philosophy of painting (1954-1984); Helen Frankenthaler, who writes
from summer vacations on Cape Cod and includes inscriptions from Robert
Motherwell (1950-1970); and George Grosz, who requests financial advice and
discusses his assignments for
Esquire magazine (1935-1958). Marc and Vava Chagall
and their daughter Ida discuss planning for exhibitions and travels. One group
of letters deals with Chagall's royalties and unauthorized reproductions of his
work (1956-1985). Material concerning Jacques Lipchitz includes letters from
Jacques, Berthe, and Yulla Lipchitz and papers detailing loans and sales of
Lipchitz's work (1931-1964). Letters from Peggy Guggenheim discuss purchases
and sales of art works, the 1971 robbery at her palazzo in Venice, and legal
and tax issues relating to the Peggy Guggenheim Foundation (1950-1977). A
file of material relates to the Foundation and
Guggenheim's will (1968-1981).
Correspondence includes painted, illustrated, and collaged
cards by Elise Asher, Abe Birnbaum, William Congdon, Julio De Diego, Helen
Frankenthaler, George Grosz, Larry Rivers, Hans Richter, Lucy and Attilio
Salemme, and Ernst and Karin Van Leyden. The papers also include materials
relating to the Reis's art collection (inventories, estimates, and requests for
loans or purchases); legal and financial documents (many facsimile copies)
relating to the Rothko estate, as well as to Reis's bankruptcy and Rebecca
Reis's lawsuit; and a few personal items such as Rebecca Reis's diary
(1945).
