Miscellaneous, Correspondence and Interviews, 1974-1977

This collection contains research materials that were compiled in preparation for an exhibition entitled "Nicholas Vasilieff: A Retrospective Exhibition", which was held at the William Benton Museum of Art, located on the Storrs campus of the University of Connecticut from March 21 - May 29, 1977. The materials were compiled by Hildegard Cummings, the Museum's Exhibitions Coordinator. Included is correspondence between Cummings and various collectors (both private and institutional), photographs, slides, and negatives of works by Vasilieff, clippings from magazines and newspapers, transcripts of oral interviews with Vasilieff's wife Magda, ephemera, from Vasilieff's personal archives, as well as audio and film recordings. The bulk of the materials come from the years 1974 - 1977, but materials from Vasilieff's personal archives date back to 1922.
