Research Institute, Research Library, Accession no. 940004.
Acquisition Information
Acquired from Panza in 1994.
Processing History
The archive was extensively organized by members of Panza's family.
Giovanni Panza, Panza's son, from 1987-1989 divided all the material according to
artist and subject. Giuseppina Caccia Dominioni Panza, Panza's daughter, began
in 1989 to check Giovanni's previous work, made files, matched photographs to
each work and put all the papers into folders and boxes. In 1990 Cristiana
Caccia Dominioni as well as Francesca Guicciardi Panza, daughter in-law of
Panza, began helping Giuseppina. Francesca checked all of the physical
descriptions of the works of the collection. As of 1995, all three women worked
three mornings a week in Lugano on the archive supporting the art Panza
currently collects. Lynda Bunting at the Getty Center began physical processing
and description of the archive March 1994 and finished May 1995.
The leather boxes were handmade by the Rilegatoria Conti Borbone di
Marchesifirm in Milan. Four empty boxes and some folders have been placed at
the end of the collection for replacements.
Alternate Form Available
Sections of Series II.A available in photocopies.
Related Material
Seven binders contain photocopies of the index housed in Boxes 156 A-B.

The files are grouped alphabetically by artist and sub-divided into categories
of works, miscellaneous personal correspondence, miscellaneous gallery
correspondence, announcements and invitations, photographs, works not in the
collection (i.e. deaccessioned), shipment and invoice documents and
miscellaneous. Each sheet describing an art work is marked in the upper right
hand corner with Panza's inventory system of the artist's initials and numbered
sequentially and with its corresponding box and folder number. The index was
made by Panza's family (see Processing History).
It should be noted that the titles and dimensions listed in the
index for the works now at Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) have been updated by that institution's
registrarial office. Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) should be consulted for more details.
A separate binder has photocopies of the indices for Panza's
Primitive collection and the clippings series.

Scope and Content of Collection
The Giuseppe Panza Papers document the Italian businessman's
considerable activities in collecting contemporary art. Panza collected works
by some of the seminal American artists involved with Abstract Expressionist,
Pop, Minimal, Conceptual, Environmental, and Light and Space art. The archive
contains material from the time when he began collecting in 1956 up to the sale
of the second part of his collection to the Guggenheim Museum, New York, in
1990. The portion of the archive relating to his most recent acquisitions from
1987 onward, remains in Panza's possession.
The archive has letters and other materials pertaining to Panza's
various art related activities and much about his museum programs. He contacted
many museum directors and Italian officials to garner support for his proposals
to create museums utilizing works from his collection. Panza's art collection
is documented by correspondence with and about artists and galleries,
photographs, small drawings, invoices, loan requests, announcements and
invitations, that were accumulated by Panza during the acquisition process and
throughout his entire ownership period. There is also much ephemera,
photographs and some correspondence with artists that Panza did not collect.
The archive also includes a substantial quantity of Panza's writings on art;
papers and ephemera related to Panza's associations with museums, galleries and
cultural institutions; clippings and photocopies of articles on the collection;
and an extensive group of architectural drawings of potential sites for the
collection, many with Panza's installation designs.
Indices exist for Series II, III, VIII and Panza's "drawings"
collection.

General files,
1956-1990
Physical Description:
36 lin. ft.
94 boxes
Scope and Content 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).

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

personal correspondence files contain letters from artists regarding personal
