Title Letter from Mary L. Beebe to Allan Kaprow
Date 21 November 1973
Type correspondence
Location Getty Research Institute, Allan Kaprow Papers, 980063, box 24, folder 9

It is instructive to note that Mary L. Beebe assumed that Allan Kaprow would collaborate with Michael Sullivan on film “documentation.” Kaprow rejected the merely documentary function of film and did so explicitly by beginning activity booklets and films with the assertion that “this is not a record” (or another statement with a similar meaning).
