This grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), awarded through its Humanities Collection and Reference Resources program, will enable the Getty Research Institute to expedite processing of the recently acquired Harald Szeemann Archive and Library.
The archive is an essential resource for the study of 20th-century art and art history, containing a comprehensive record of Szeemann's correspondence with major artists, curators, and scholars from the late 1950s until his death in 2005. It encompasses approximately 1,500 linear feet of archival research files, including letters, ephemera, prints, drawings, floor plans, date books, videotapes, and a complete photographic record of 36,000 images documenting Szeemann's projects and the artists with whom he was associated.
As a result of this grant, the Szeemann Archive photographs are now available. An inventory of the most significant archive materials will be progressively available on the Research Institute's website beginning July 2013, with complete accessibility to these materials offered by June 2014.
