Series 3 : Business and Financial , 1935-1937
13 Folders
Box 1
Series documents the operation of the gallery through a variety of business records which span the duration of the gallery's existence. Artist account ledgers/notebooks include records of exhibition and lecture expenses and some sales. Artist agreements includes copies of agreements for the gallery to act as sole agent for artists including Ahron Ben-Shmuel, Don Forbes, Arshile Gorky, Chaim Gross, Philip Reisman, and Jacques Zucker. Balance and deposit books provide a chronological running account of the gallery's balance of funds, deposits made, checks drawn, and details on the nature of transactions, such as artwork sold or bills paid. Banking records include paid checks; bills are primarily for telephone service. Business agreements include a copy of the August 1935 agreement between Walinska and Frankel to establish the business, and their subsequent resignation agreements from the Stone Trading Corporation under which the gallery operated. Also found is a February 1936 legal petition directing the gallery to vacate the West 57th Street premises for non-payment of rent. Daily record notebooks offer handwritten accounts and notes written back and forth, presumably between Walinska and Frankel, which provide a narrative about the overall running of the gallery and interactions with various artists and clients. Insurance records include policies for artwork. Order books record orders sent out, including for artwork, with names of recipients, whether an order was paid for, and the amount charged. Receipts are primarily for costs associated with operating the gallery, such as framing, advertising, and maintenance, with a few scattered receipts for artwork sales.
Series has been digitized in entirety with the exception of some of the routine checks included in the banking records and telephone bills.
