Art Files, 1959-2000 and undated

Extent:
5 boxes
Scope and content:

The Art Files Series contains correspondence, art show announcements, financial records, and other materials related to Millett's work as a sculptor and artist. Included also are some materials on other artists' work. Millett's activities as a member of the cooperative Noho Gallery are documented, and there are some materials from her involvement in the Fluxus movement. There are detailed records of Millett's direct sales of posters and silk screens, including fan letters from individuals who saw Millett's posters advertised in Ms. magazine and other women's media outlets. Files in this series have not been arranged.

The series includes some documents in electronic format. Electronic documents are grouped with folders containing related paper documents. If there is no corresponding folder, the documents are marked "electronic format only." For each document, the container list provides the file name, the date the file was last modified, and the number assigned to the original computer disk on which the file was received. Consult a reference archivist for access to electronic documents.

See the Subject Files for additional material on other artists' shows and on Millett's poster sales.
