Richard Hu Townley Bellamy was born in Cincinnati, December 3, 1927, the son of doctors. At the age of 21, after dropping
out of college, he moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts. There, while working at various jobs including selling antiques and
house painting, he became friends with numerous artists of the Hans Hofmann school.
Bellamy moved to New York in the early 1950s and continued his association with the Hofmann students, a group of whom opened
the Hansa Gallery in 1952. Originally located on East 12th Street, Hansa was one of the first cooperative galleries in New
York and one of many spaces devoted to displaying works of young artists attempting to define themselves apart from Abstract
Expressionism, then the dominant style and the focus of major uptown galleries. By 1955, Bellamy was named director of the
Hansa, the gallery had relocated to 210 Central Park South, and it was attracting significant attention from art world figures
such as Hans Richter, Clement Greenberg, and Meyer Shapiro. The gallery's members included Jan Müller, Richard Stankiewicz,
Allan Kaprow (who staged some of his first environments there), Miles Forst, Wolf Kahn, Jane Wilson, and others, and it held
exhibitions of works by Alfred Leslie, John Chamberlain, George Segal, Myron Stout, and Lucas Samaras. Despite the eventual
critical and commercial success of many of these artists, the Hansa was never financially viable and it closed in 1959.
In 1960, with the unpublicized financial backing of Robert Scull, Bellamy opened the Green Gallery on West 57th Street. He
selected and represented new and emerging artists providing first or second exhibitions for James Rosenquist, Claes Oldenburg,
George Segal, Larry Poons, Robert Morris, Lucas Samaras, Donald Judd, Tom Wesselmann, Milet Andrejevic, and Dan Flavin. For
a few years, the Green Gallery was considered the center of groundbreaking work in the New York art world, yet in 1964 Robert
Scull withdrew his support and in 1965 the gallery closed.
From 1965 until 1974, Bellamy maintained a small office at the Noah Goldowsky Gallery where he acted as a private dealer but
also organized shows in the gallery and shared many operational duties with Goldowsky. Between 1974 and 1980 he lived in and
worked from a private gallery at 25th Street and Park Avenue. Finally, in 1980, Bellamy opened the Oil & Steel Gallery at
157 Chambers Street, though in 1985 the gallery moved to 30-40 Vernon Boulevard alongside the studios of Mark di Suvero and
Alfred Leslie. The Oil & Steel Gallery focused on artists Bellamy had supported or been friends with for decades. They included
Richard Nonas, Myron Stout, Neil Williams, David Rabinowitch, Peter Young, Walter de Maria, Michael Heizer, Miles Forst, and
many others. Most prominent among these artists were Alfred Leslie and Mark di Suvero. In collaboration with the Barbara Flynn,
Bellamy organized four major retrospective shows of Leslie's work at the Flynn Gallery between 1991 and 1992 and, over numerous
decades, organized the sale, consignment, and loan of Leslie's works. Bellamy's relationship with Mark di Suvero was equally
long standing, having spanned thirty-five years. Bellamy is credited with helping revive di Suvero's reputation in New York
beginning with an exhibition held at Oil & Steel in 1983. In the 1990s, Bellamy began to devote most of his time to arranging
large shows of di Suvero's work in Venice, Paris, and elsewhere in Europe, and also helped arrange di Suvero's joint representation
by the Gagosian Gallery beginning in 1993. At the time of his death he was also involved in compiling a catalogue raisonné
of di Suvero's work.
Bellamy was an enthusiastic photographer, notable for his sensitive and illuminating images of sculpture. An exhibition of
his photographs of di Suvero sculpture was held at Storm King Art Center in 2006. He was also a founding member, in 1971,
of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in Long Island City, New York, and served on advisory boards of numerous other organizations.
Apart from his friendships with artists, Bellamy developed close relationships with the collectors and patrons Virginia Wright
and Robert Scull, and numerous museum curators and directors and gallery owners. He is remembered by his extensive community
of friends, artists, and by the New York art world, as a tireless correspondent, visionary, booster, and all around supporter
of the arts. Richard Bellamy died in his sleep on Sunday, March 29, 1998, at the age of seventy.
The Richard Bellamy Papers document nearly fifty years of activity in the life of a noted connoisseur, gallerist, private
dealer, and friend and supporter of the arts. Through correspondence, invoices, expense documents, lists of works, consignment
and loan agreements, installation diagrams, photographs, announcements and other ephemera, news clippings, articles, and interviews,
the papers provide a detailed portrait of Bellamy and the careers of his most prominent artists and friends, and display an
intimate look at the actual mechanisms and activities of galleries and art dealing over four decades. The collection is organized
into four major series with additional subdivisions.
Series I: Correspondence, is organized into two subseries. Subseries I.A consists of nearly four decades of sent and received
correspondence organized alphabetically by personal or institutional name. The bulk of the material begins in the early 1970s
when Bellamy maintained an office at the Noah Goldowsky Gallery, continues through his years on Park Avenue, through the establishment
and relocation of the Oil & Steel Gallery, and ends in the weeks before his untimely death. The correspondence deals mostly
with business matters and displays Bellamy's tireless promotion of different artists. The series details the arrangements
he made to stage exhibitions, manage consignments and loans, and organize the installation of major pieces of sculpture in
distant locations. A large portion of the correspondence relates to Bellamy's work on behalf of Mark di Suvero though his
efforts for other artists are also represented. Subseries I.B is a duplicate set of outgoing correspondence organized by year.
Series II: Business Records, is divided into five subseries. Subseries I.A focuses on the Hansa Gallery. The folders here
contain key early documents of the gallery, exhibition announcements, the transcript of the oral history of the Hansa Gallery
conducted by Richard Brown Baker for the Archives of American Art, and documents of a later exhibition on the gallery. Subseries
II.B, records of the Green Gallery, contain important material detailing sales of works by numerous artists, disbursements
and expenses for them, news clippings and reviews, and an extensive collection of elaborately designed and printed posters
and announcements for numerous groundbreaking exhibitions. Subseries II.C documents the years Bellamy shared space with the
Noah Goldowsky Gallery. The series contains ledgers, check stubs, records of sales, purchases, expenditures and other financial
documents. Subseries II.D chronicles the history of the Oil & Steel Gallery as well as detailing activities in the years 1975-1980.
Oil & Steel was the first time in fifteen years Bellamy ran a gallery with public exhibitions and a full-time staff. These
records attest to the energy and organization required to manage such an operation as the subseries contains extensive financial
documentation including payroll and expense records, ledgers, receipts, credit card and bank account reports, and invoices
and records of sales and purchases. The subseries also contains records of exhibitions including price lists, announcements,
press, photographs, advertisements, and a guestbook. Subseries II.E constitutes a discrete set of materials relating to the
settlement of the Robert C. Scull estate after Scull's passing, in 1986. Bellamy aided the estate's lawyers in reappraising
Scull's art collection (sold in 1986 to record-setting prices) after the IRS questioned the pre-auction appraisal upon which
estate taxes were assessed. Robert Scull's ex-wife, Ethel Scull, also sued to gain possession of a greater portion of the
estate and Bellamy provided testimony and evidence to the early years of the Sculls' joint activities in the art world. The
records here record the labyrinthine path of Bellamy's involvement in these legal affairs.
Series III comprises materials of and about specific artists generated, collected, and compiled by Bellamy over his career.
Subseries III.A is devoted to artists Bellamy was less involved with professionally, never represented (or only in the distant
past), or had only incidentally come into contact with. Most artists here are represented by one folder each and the contents
include numerous slides and photographs of work, some correspondence, biographical material and curricula vitae, exhibition
ephemera, and news clippings. Subseries III.B through III.P comprise files of artists Bellamy directly represented or had
closer relationships to, especially during the existence of the Oil & Steel Gallery. The largest groups of records here are
concerned with Mark di Suvero and Alfred Leslie. Subseries III.N, the Mark di Suvero files, document and depict Bellamy's
work curating exhibitions, aiding the organization of domestic and foreign installations and purchases of di Suvero's work,
and abetting the growth of his reputation and dissemination of his output. There is abundant correspondence, receipts, invoices,
expense records, photographic documentation, exhibition announcements, advertisements, press, and other documentation located
in these files. They present a vivid picture of the relationship between Bellamy and di Suvero and a testament to the impact
of Bellamy's role in di Suvero's career. Likewise, the files of Alfred Leslie, Subseries III.G, provide a detailed view of
Bellamy's involvement in Leslie's career. In particular, Bellamy formally collaborated with Barbara Flynn and the Flynn Gallery
in staging major retrospective shows of Leslie's work in the years 1991 and 1992. The substantive portion of this subseries
is actually composed of files created and maintained by the Flynn Gallery but Bellamy's joint role in the exhibitions is clear.
The extensive photographic documentation of works from Leslie's entire career as a painter and draftsman amount practically
to a catalogue raisonné. Additionally, there is a wealth of documentation of other exhibitions held at Oil & Steel, correspondence,
invoices and other financial material. The other subseries devoted to individual artists are smaller in size but likewise
document exhibitions Bellamy staged of their work, his personal and professional history with them, and in some cases, his
close personal relationship. Subseries III.M, Myron Stout, contains fourteen audio cassettes of Stout recounting his life
and career in interviews with Kathryn Maartens. Subseries III.B, III.F, III.H, III.L, III.M, concerning Joan Baer, Michael
Heizer, Walter de Maria, David Rabinowitch, and Myron Stout, all contain correspondence testifying to the strength of the
friendship the artists had with Bellamy and revealing details of their works and careers. These and other files contain numerous
photographs and negatives documenting the artists' work. The files of Neil Williams, Subseries III.O, contain negatives and
contact sheets comprising nearly three thousand images taken by Williams and documenting his travels, his friendships, and
the artworks by himself and others, particularly John Chamberlain. Overall the artist files are a wealth of information not
only on the artists but on Bellamy's deep and lasting relationships with them.
Series IV contains a small amount of material accumulated after Bellamy's death in 1998. In addition to biographical materials
assembled for authors of obituaries, and copies of the obituaries and memorials themselves, the series contains a large amount
of correspondence sent in condolence to Miles Bellamy and video recordings of two memorial services: one held at Oil & Steel
on April 1st (only three days after Bellamy's death), and the other held at P.S.1 on May 13th. In November 1998 a public reading
of bellamy's correspondence was staged and an audio cassette and program of that event are present This series provides condensed
tribute to the personal and professional accomplishments of Bellamy's life, and invokes and testifies to those labors which
the Richard Bellamy Papers so extensively describe.
Finally, Series V comprises correspondence between Bellamy and noted collector Adam Aronson. Aronson bought numerous works
from the Green Gallery and the first correspondence here dates from 1963. The professional relationship and friendship lasted
until Bellamy's death. Included here are original letters from Bellamy to Aronson, copies of sent letters by Aronson, occasional
third party correspondence, and scattered invoices and financial records. This series was received from Adam Aronson in 2000.
The records are open for research and contain no restricted materials.
The Richard Bellamy Papers are the physical property of The Museum of Modern Art. Literary rights, including copyright belong
to the authors or their legal heirs and assigns. Rights to work produced during the normal course of Museum business resides
with The Museum of Modern Art. For further information, and to obtain permission to publish or reproduce, contact the Museum
Archivist.
Within the Museum Archives, scattered materials relating to Richard Bellamy, the Green Gallery, and Robert Scull can be found
in Collectors Records, Art Lending Service/Art Advisory Service Records, the Alfred H. Barr Papers, and the James Lee Byars
- Dorothy C. Miller Correspondence.
Catalogs to many of the exhibitions documented here are located in the Museum Library. The library's subject and pamphlet
files contain exhibition announcements and ephemera for the Green Gallery, the Oil & Steel Gallery, and other institutions;
the library's artist files contain folders on Richard Bellamy and most of the artists he befriended and represented.
In the 1960s, Richard Brown Baker conducted interviews with Richard Bellamy and Richard Stankiewicz for the Archives of American
Art to document the history of the Hansa Gallery; those transcripts are accessible online. The Archives of American Art also
contains interviews with Robert Scull and oral histories or records of many of the artists mentioned in this collection, including
the Alfred Leslie Papers and the Mark di Suvero and di Suvero Family Papers.
The Richard Bellamy Papers were acquired by the Museum Archives from Richard Bellamy's son, Miles Bellamy, in November, 2000.
Series V, Adam Aronson Correspondence, was given to the museum in 2000 by Aronson to complement the main collection.
Long version: Richard Bellamy Papers, [series.folder]. The Museum of Modern Art Archives, New York.
Short version: Bellamy, [series.folder]. MoMA Archives, NY.
The processing of the Richard Bellamy Papers was funded by a generous grant from The Henry Luce Foundation.
The bulk of the collection dates only from the last forty years so the materials are generally in good condition. All materials
have been rehoused in archival folders; news clippings and acidic printed material has been photocopied and discarded. Other
acidic materials have been encapsulated or isolated by acid-free paper or Mylar as occasion warranted. Because so many of
the materials in the collection originate from the 1980s and 1990s, there was a large quantity of thermofax paper in numerous
folders. Due to thermofax instability and image impermanence, all such items were photocopied and discarded except in those
few instances where handwritten notes and information dictated the retention of the original documents.
Series V, Adam Aronson Correspondence, was given to the museum in 2000. In 2007, Miles Bellamy gave eight additional folders
of material to the Museum. These folders contain early records and founding documents of the Hansa Gallery, materials relating
to Green Gallery exhibitions, and news clipping and other records of Miles Forst's career. Evidence indicates these materials
were likely kept by Miles Forst and given to Richard Bellamy at a later date. The materials have been placed in the relevant
series with notes made as to their specific provenance.
| Series I: Correspondence
1962-1998
|
|
|
|
Richard Bellamy was a tireless, prolific, and notable correspondent. In November, 1998, a posthumous reading of his correspondence
was staged at The New School in New York City, a tribute to his epistolary élan. While the bulk of correspondence in series
I is concerned solely with professional and business matters, Bellamy's style, wit, and personality are readily evident. The
correspondence also displays the unflagging effort Bellamy undertook to promote artists, organize exhibitions, sell and gain
commissions for artworks, and overall to maintain contact with innumerable collectors, curators, institutional directors and
anyone who might at that moment or in the future have an interest in supporting the artists Bellamy represented. Much of the
correspondence, in fact, contains little more than polite greetings or reminders of exhibitions, friendly letters accompanying
complimentary exhibition catalogs and equally polite responses to those gifts. The more substantive correspondence deals with
gallery consignments and loans, negotiating commission rates and major sales, directing the shipping, assembly, and installation
of large sculptures in foreign countries, and dealing with all other aspects of running a gallery. Correspondence dates from
the early 1970s until March 1998. A small quantity of earlier correspondence does exist here: a packet of photocopies of letters
sent to Virginia Wright in the 1960s testifies to the length of their close relationship. The predominant portion of the correspondence,
though, originates from the 1980s and 1990s and concerns the activities of the Oil & Steel Gallery. Among that material, a
majority concerns Bellamy's representation of Mark di Suvero.
Subseries I.A consists of folders arranged and originally labeled alphabetically by recipient. Individual folders with one
name on the label often contain correspondence from multiple individuals with occasional carbon copies of correspondence between
other people, but all materials in one folder usually relate to a single institution or project. Subseries I.B consists of
"duplicate correspondence" arranged chronologically. Miles Bellamy joined his father at the Oil & Steel Gallery in 1993 and
many letters by him concerning gallery business are present. During many of the years Oil & Steel was in operation, Jeannie
Blake was the main office assistant; her name appears frequently as well.
For further correspondence relating to specific galleries or artists, see the appropriate files of Series II and III. Series
V contains numerous correspondence between Bellamy and Adam Aronson poredating most of the correspondence here.

Folders in this series may contain numerous items, but a large quantity of the folders contain as few as one item. Folders
with one item only will have a specific, single date indicated. Other folders, however, may have only two or three items spanning
a number of years. Researchers are cautioned not to presume the existence of a large quantity of material for any particular
correspondent, nor that the material present is of any particular significance. Some materials, or letters from siginificant
individuals not mentioned in the folder title, have been noted underneath their folder titles. Names abbreviated on the original
folders are given complete here and any inconsistencies in alphabetization have been corrected. Folders have been replaced
on a one-to-one correspondence whenever possible.

Virginia Wright This file includes the oldest correspondence found in this series; photocopies of letters sent from RB to Virginia Wright,
dating between 1962 and 1977 in chronological order. The letters discuss works and activities of James Rosenquist, Robert
Morris, George Segal, and other artists and works in Wright's collection. There are occasional notes, apparently by RB, later
interposed on adhesive memos. The photocopies were located in their own envelope within the file. Original correspondence
is all from later years and includes some letters from Wright.

1986-1998
|
|
This series was received as a discrete set of files following the initial series of alphabetically arranged correspondence.
Original folders each contained a single year of correspondence and within each folder letters were in chronological or reverse
chronological order. Due to size, some years have been divided into multiple folders. While the preponderance of material
is, as indicated, photocopies or carbon copies of sent correspondence, some original received correspondence is also present
in these files with responses. Other materials, such as shipping receipts, also appear. Miles Bellamy composed itemized lists
of many (but not all) of the folders. The lists vary in format and detail and appear to be complete but have not been checked.
The lists have been reproduced underneath the folder titles below and the originals are at the front of each folder. The chronological
organization within some folders is imperfect but has been left as found in all cases.

| Series II: Gallery and Business Records
1953-1998
|
|
|
|
Series II contains the primary extant gallery records of Bellamy's entire career. Documentation includes records of artwork
purchases, sales, consignments and loans, and disbursements and other financial arrangements with artists. Exhibition documentation
includes announcements, posters and other ephemera; records of loans, shipping, restoration and conservation, framing, photography,
and other expenses; biographical material on artists, work lists and price lists, plans and diagrams of installations; slides
and photographs or works and installation; catalogue materials, and news clippings and other press and bibliographic material.
Records of Bellamy's final two decades of activities are fuller and more complete than those from earlier periods. Records
of the Oil & Steel Gallery, for instance, contain extensive financial records including bank and credit card account statements,
federal tax documents, payroll, and other material documenting the day-to-day operations of the gallery; such detail is missing
from the earlier gallery records.
Material in this series was received loosely organized in the following subseries. However, the arrangement was not thorough
and required some amendment and re-arrangement for clarity and historical accuracy. For instance, the files of subseries II.A,
on the Hansa Gallery, were discovered amidst the files of the Oil & Steel Gallery, Subseries II.D. Likewise, many of the Green
Gallery files (particularly the posters and exhibition ephemera) of Subseries II.B, as well as some financial files from the
Goldowsky years, Subseries II.C, were originally located among files from later time periods. The order of folders in Subseries
III.A through III.C has not been substantially or meaningfully altered. However, the folders of III.D were found to be in
no logical order and to lack any structure or meaningful arrangement. They have been loosely rearranged in a topical order
(i.e., invoices, expenses and banking, payroll and tax documents, exhibition documents, etc.) only to aid research and discovery,
not to suggest any possible original order. Despite these efforts there is still a haziness to the chronological division
of series. There are materials in each series that were created before or after the existence of the gallery or business enterprise.
The 1970s are a particular problem. Richard Bellamy ended his affiliation with the Noah Goldowsky Gallery in 1975 and opened
the Oil & Steel Gallery in 1980. In between, he operated a private gallery at 25th Street and Park Avenue South. Yet the collection
as received contained no discrete set of records from this time period and such files have been impossible to sort out or
fully differentiate from the surrounding series. Thus records of the 1970s can be found among files in both Subseries II.C
and II.D, that is, mixed in with files of both earlier and later periods.
Subseries II.E, Records of the Robert C. Scull Estate, presents a separate issue. When received they were labeled as a discrete
set of correspondence and located at the end of the other boxes now in Series I. Upon examination, the materials proved to
consist of records of Bellamy providing his expertise as an appraiser and as a witness to and expert on the art world of the
1960s to lawyers for the Scull estate. Thus it was deemed more proper to move the records to their current location.
Some material in this series, particularly in II.A and II.B, was "pre-processed." Materials were placed in glassine envelopes
inside archival folders with typed labels. This rehousing was likely begun by Barbara Flynn and continued by Miles Bellamy.
While all original enclosures have been replaced, original folder titles have been retained whenever present.

| Subseries II.A: The Hansa Gallery
1953-1998
|
|
The Hansa Gallery opened on East 12th Street in 1952 as one of the first cooperative galleries in New York. It's founding
members had all been students of Hans Hofmann and included Wolf Kahn, Jan Müller, Jean Follett, Barbara Forst, Miles Forst,
Allan Kaprow, and Richard Stankiewicz. The gallery exhibited its members' work as well as inviting outside artists to show;
it was also a space for performances, lectures, and some of the first installations of art environments and early Happenings.
At the time, East 12th Street hosted a number of galleries that were seen as alternatives to the more established uptown galleries,
and Hansa showcased artists alienated from Abstract Expressionism and with strong tendencies towards figurative art. Through
his friendships with the artists, Richard Bellamy slowly became involved in the gallery and was named director in 1955, a
position he kept until the gallery closed in 1959 (for a short period he was co-director with Ivan Karp). Few, if any, records
of the Hansa are known to exist outside of this collection.
|
|
In 1963, while proprietor of the Green Gallery, Bellamy was interviewed by Richard Brown Baker for the Archives of American
Art for an oral history of the Hansa Gallery; the transcript can be found in folder II.A.2. Baker also interviewed Richard
Stankiewicz for the same project and that transcript, not in this collection, can be accessed online. In 1997, the Zabriskie
Gallery staged an exhibition detailing the history of the Hansa Gallery. The materials here concerning that exhibition contain
chronologies of the Hansa composed at a later date.
|
|
Folders II.A.4-II.A.7 were received from Miles Bellamy as a later accrual; evidence indicates this material was kept by Miles
Forst and given to Richard Bellamy at a later date. Some folders among Series III, Artist Files, also contain material relating
to the Hansa Gallery. III.A.25, on Miles Forst, contains correspondence and photographs from the time period. Folder III.J.3,
in the Jan Müller artist files, contains a nine-page typescript list of all works sold by the gallery in the 1956-1957 season
and includes work description, buyer, and sale price.

Richard Bellamy opened the Green Gallery in 1960 with the backing of collector Robert C. Scull. This financial arrangement
was not public at the time and it is unclear how and when the arrangement became known. The gallery quickly established a
reputation for showing and representing some of the most exciting art of the time and for providing important artists with
their first or second exhibitions uptown where they received much broader exposure. Bellamy's stable included Claes Oldenburg,
Lucas Samaras, George Segal, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Morris, Dan Flavin, Milet Andrejevic, Larry Poons, and others. Despite
the burgeoning careers of these artists, the Green Gallery was financially unstable. When Scull withdrew his support in 1965,
Bellamy was forced to close. Numerous sources have noted the efforts Bellamy made to place his artists with other galleries,
particularly with Leo Castelli and Sydney Janis.
|
|
Despite opening the Green Gallery in 1960, the earliest records here date from 1962. This series contains a wealth of financial
records detailing the sales of artworks and the financial support of artists. The folders titled "Sales Receipts" (all originally
titled "Green Gallery Sales") uniformly contain typed receipt records of sales grouped by artist. The receipts, approximately
8x3.5 inches, indicate the artist, work title, purchaser, sale date, sale amount, total amount due to artist, payment received
and remittance to artist, inventory number, and other markings and notes. Sometimes many receipts will record a series of
payments for the sale of a single work. Only occasionally do the receipt files contain other notes or items. Buyers' names
that appear frequently include The Whitney Museum of American Art, Philip Johnson, Adam Aronson, Ed Cauduro, David Bourdon,
Hanford Yang, Robert Scull, Edwin Janss, Al Ordover, Virginia and G.B. Wright, "G.G." (likely the Green Gallery itslef),and
Richard Brown Baker, though many other names also appear. The other significant component of this series are the posters and
announcements of various exhibitions at the gallery. Many of the posters are printed in silkscreen, letterpress, or lithography,
and most are innovatively designed. Even if the exhibitions they advertised weren't historically significant, the posters
themselves would still be a showcase of 1960s art and graphic design. Some records from 1966 onward are also present.
|
|
Folder II.B.35 was received from Miles Bellamy as a later accrual; evidence indicates this material was kept by Miles Forst
and given to Richard Bellamy at a later date. Some files relating to the Green Gallery, or originating at the same time, may
be found elsewhere in the collection. In Subseries I.A, for instance, there are photocopies of correspondence between Virginia
Wright and Bellamy dating back to 1962. The artists files of Series III may also have material contemporary with the gallery.
In Folder II.E.5, Records of the Scull Estate, a transcript is present of testimony Bellamy gave on the history of the Green
Gallery, the Sculls' participation in it, and of their general collecting activities in the 1960s. This testimony was apparently
provided on behalf of the defense in Ethel Scull's suit to gain possession of a greater part of her ex-husband's art collection.

| Subseries II.C: The Noah Goldowsky Gallery Office and Other Records
1967-1998
|
|
From 1965 until 1974, Richard Bellamy worked as an independent dealer in a small office within the Noah Goldowsky Gallery.
Records show they split the costs of much of the gallery operations such as photography and printing costs for exhibition
materials and advertisements. They also often split the cost of artwork purchases and the proceeds from their sales. Nonetheless,
Bellamy was not an employee of the gallery and much of his activity was independent. This is displayed by the fact that many
of the records here are still on Green Gallery stationery or on stationery with letterhead of Bellamy's Hyena Escrow & Garanshee
Development Company (HEGDCO) while Goldowsky's stationery is also common. Bellamy's arrangement with Goldowsky ended in 1974
whereupon Bellamy moved into a private space on Park Avenue.
|
|
Included here is documentation of sales of artworks by Claes Oldenburg, Peter Young, Yayoi Kusama, Richard Artschwager, Sidney
Tillim, Milet Andrejevic, Alfred Leslie, Myron Stout, Lucas Samaras, Christo, John Tweddle, and others. Most invoices are
typed on 8 1/2x11" paper or sheets from legal pads, though some are handwritten. Other invoices and records document artworks
purchased directly from the artists but also from other galleries. The records indicate extensive sharing of a work's cost
and sales between Bellamy, Goldowsky, and other dealers. Expenditure folders contain records of more prosaic expenses such
as purchases of advertisements, utilities, staff costs, and services such as deliveries, the stretching of paintings for shows,
photography, and the printing of posters and ephemera. Some records from after 1974 are present in this series as it has proved
impossible to fully distinguish between those records and ones from the Goldowsky years. For further records from this time
period, see folder II.B.1 for a ledger book that contains records of both the Green Gallery and the Goldowsky years.

In 1980, Richard Bellamy decided once again to open a gallery to the public with a regular stable of artists and a schedule
of exhibitions and installations. The Oil & Steel Gallery first opened in Tribeca, at 157 Chambers Street in Manhattan, and
the gallery also served as Bellamy's living space. In 1985, Bellamy moved the gallery to 30-40 Vernon Boulevard in Long Island
City, Queens. While this new location was in some ways even more remote from the Manhattan center of the art world than Tribeca,
the gallery was housed within the same compound as Mark di Suvero's studio, near the site of what was to become Socrates Sculpture
Park (co-founded by di Suvero in 1986), and not far from P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center (co-founded by Bellamy). Bellamy continued
to stage exhibitions at Oil & Steel until the late 1980s when he began to devote more of his time again to private dealing
and specifically to promoting the career of di Suvero as well as continuing his efforts on behalf of Alfred Leslie and Myron
Stout.
|
|
The records in this series present a thorough depiction of the activities of the Oil & Steel Gallery. There are numerous folders
of invoices representing records of artworks bought, sold, loaned, and consigned, as well as receipts, bills, and other expense
documents showing the costs and details of every aspect of running a gallery and presenting exhibitions. There are extensive
financial records present including payroll reports, federal tax forms, complete bank statements and credit card account statements
for numerous years in sequence, and sales tax records (most dating from after 1996 when the gallery was audited for sales
tax payments). Exhibition records include announcements, press releases, lists of works, some photographic documentation,
and other material. The series also contains appointment books and desk calendars Bellamy kept through the 1980s and a gallery
guest book from 1984. There are some records present from the 1970s, from before the Oil & Steel Gallery opened, intermingled
with those of later dates. The records continue through March, 1998. The latest material in the series includes a series of
photographs by Jerry Thompson documenting the gallery and Bellamy's work space six days after his death.
|
|
The Richard Bellamy Papers as a whole are weighted in their documentation to the years when the Oil & Steel Gallery was in
existence and thus records relating to this series can be found throughout the collection. The bulk of correspondence in Series
I describes activities of the gallery in great detail. Folder I.A.492, in particular, contains two copies of the draft lease
agreement for the space at 30-40 Vernon Boulevard. Likewise, artists files for individuals represented by Bellamy or exhibited
at Oil & Steel frequently contain records of those exhibitions as well as records of sales or other relevant activities. It
seems likely in fact that the major artists files of Subseries III.B through III.P were compiled because of Bellamy's professional
relationship with the artists through the duration of the Oil & Steel Gallery. Those files greatly enhance the records found
here.
|
|
Some tax records in this series containing social security numbers of employees of the Oil & Steel Gallery have had that information
redacted.

| Subseries II.E: Records of the Robert C. Scull Estate
1972-1996
|
|
The materials in this series concern the collection of artwork amassed by Robert C. Scull and dispersed, in part after his
death in 1986, at an auction that set numerous records for works by Pop artists. Years after the auction, and as a result
of the auction sales, the IRS contested the pre-auction valuation of the estate that was used to calculate the taxes on it.
Records in this series include correspondence between numerous parties and Epstein and Furman, the law firm representing the
Scull estate; old and new appraisals of the Scull estate by various gallerists and scholars at the time of his death and afterwards;
invoices and records of sales of artworks; and depositions and other legal documents. Also included, in folder II.E.5, is
a lengthy court transcript, undated, of testimony Bellamy apparently gave for the defense in Ethel Scull's lawsuit to gain
possession of a greater part of her husband's estate; other materials here may also relate to that suit. The transcript of
the cross-examination sheds particular light on Robert Scull's support of the Green Gallery and it's financial operations
and provides valuable evidence to the Sculls' general activity in the art world at the time.
|
|
Materials were originally located in folders and envelopes marked "Scull" or "Scull Estate" and unorganized or sorted. Numerous
documents are duplicated throughout the folders. These materials were originally located at the end of correspondence and
materials now located in Series I. The records were relocated to their current position because of their relation to the Green
Gallery and to Bellamy's business as a gallerist, dealer, and appraiser.

| Series III: Artist Files
1950-1998
|
|
|
|
Over thirty years of activity, Richard Bellamy used the files in this series as a place to sort and store records pertaining
to the activities of individual artists and his participation in their careers. The artists represented in the files range
from the obscure to the famous, and Bellamy's relationship with them varies from negligible to being of central importance.
The files are arranged in groupings and in alphabetical order as found (with minor corrections). Subseries III.A was originally
titled "First Alphabetical Series," in contrast to Subseries III.B through III.P which compose a second alphabetical series.
Subseries III.A comprises smaller files and concerns artists Bellamy had few professional dealings with or with whom he hadn't
worked since the days of the Goldowsky Gallery or earlier. These files may contain only a few items such as exhibition announcements
or a packet of slides and curriculum vitae. Larger files in Subseries III.A may contain sales documents and loan and consignment
records; records of exhibitions of the artist that Bellamy was involved in; correspondence from the artist or concerning their
activities; photographic documentation of artworks; and news clippings and other ephemera.
Subseries III.B through III.P were received as a distinct group and includes artists that Bellamy represented or was more
closely involved with, particularly in the final two decades of his career. Because of the size and number of files, each
artist has been given their own subseries designation. In general these files contain a greater quantity of all materials,
whether that be correspondence or materials from the artist's hand, sales and exhibition records, or news clippings and ephemera.
The artists of this later group are all ones represented by Bellamy or given exhibitions at the Oil & Steel Gallery; many
of these files contain material that duplicates or complements material in Series II.D and provides substantial documentation
of the gallery and Bellamy's activities. The largest subseries here, III.G on Alfred Leslie and III.N on Mark di Suvero, contain
extensive documentation on numerous exhibitions, at Oil & Steel and other institutions and more fully document Bellamy's work
on behalf of these artists than the gallery files in previous series. Particular notes are located at the beginning of individual
subseries as warranted.
Apart from the basic alphabetic organization, folders devoted to individual artists show only infrequent signs of organization
or original order. Subseries III.O, on Mark di Suvero, seems clearly ordered into groups of files relating to exhibitions,
gallery representation, and other records. But all other series lack such arrangement. Additionally, while there is no apparent
relationship between folders, material within folders is also haphazardly grouped. Many folders overlap in subject, content,
and chronology. Due to this disarray and lack of any evidence of organizational intent, folders have been left in the order
they were received in. Original folder titles have been used whenever present but expanded upon when necessary. Only Subseries
III.G, on Alfred Leslie, has been rearranged due to the large number of folders present. The rearrangement is described below.
|
| Subseries III.A: Alphabetical Series of Minor Files
1959-1998
|
|
This series includes files related to artists for whom, for whatever reason, Bellamy never had cause to accumulate more than
one or two folders' worth of material. Nonetheless, many of these artists were of professional or personal importance to Bellamy
at various times in his life. Artists such as Miles Forst, Lee Lozano, Claes Oldenburg, Donald Judd, and Dan Flavin were represented
by Bellamy at the Green Gallery or involved in the Hansa and Goldowsky Galleries (and materials relating to those artists
may be found in the relevant series). Other artists, such as John Chamberlain or Christo, may have had more significance as
friends and art world acquaintances. Some files contain records of particular interest. Files such as those for Dan Flavin,
James Rosenquist, Lee Lozano, and Yoko Ono contain revealing correspondence or other material in the artist's own hand. Files
for Miles Forst and Jean Follett (and possibly others) contain photographs and other documents that date back to the Hansa
Gallery era. Other files simply help to flesh out a portrait of activities of the art world, such as photographs of artwork
taken by Rudy Burckhardt (in folder III.A.25). Folders III.A.26-III.A.28 were received from Miles Bellamy as a later accrual;
evidence indicates this material was kept by Miles Forst and given to Richard Bellamy at a later date.
|
|
The series contains numerous photographs, slides, transparencies, and negatives. All slides are 35mm color unless otherwise
noted. Dates for much of the material is uncertain and dates listed usually pertain only to some materials in each folder.
When dates are noted for photographs or images they represent when the reproductions of the artworks were made (if known,
slides are often date stamped, for instance) not the date of the works themselves. All materials have been rehoused as appropriate.

| Subseries III.G: Alfred Leslie
1950-1998
|
|
The painter, filmmaker, and writer Alfred Leslie was a long-time friend and associate of Richard Bellamy. Leslie had some
of his early works shown at the Hansa Gallery, when he was considered a prominent second- or third-generation Abstract Expressionist.
In 1959, Bellamy appeared in the film Pull My Daisy co-directed by Leslie and Robert Frank. In the 1960s Leslie turned away from abstraction and turned his attention towards
realism and depictions of the figure. This change was first significantly shown in his series of large-scale grisaille paintings
of nudes, executed in the early to mid 1960s, and Leslie has continued exploring the figure until today. The first evidence
of Bellamy's representation of Leslie, or trade in his artwork, dates from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Bellamy's work
on behalf of Leslie increased with the opening of the Oil & Steel Gallery. Beginning in 1982, Bellamy organized a show of
the large corpus of watercolor landscapes Leslie had executed en plein air under the title 100 Views Along the Road. The show originated at Oil & Steel but traveled to numerous venues and a catalogue was produced in 1988. Beginning in 1991,
at a time when Bellamy had ceased staging exhibitions at Oil & Steel, he joined with Barbara Flynn and the Flynn Gallery to
organize four retrospective exhibitions of Leslie's work. The shows focused on Leslie's grisaille paintings, red paintings,
working drawings for his paintings, and a new group of figure drawings. This period marked a high point in Leslie's exhibition
history as numerous shows of Leslie's work were held at other institutions in the same years.
|
|
Due to the recentness of this activity and Flynn's participation, there is a wealth of documentation present in this series.
Much of the material was created by Flynn and later transferred to Bellamy's custody (perhaps after Flynn closed her gallery
in 194). These files can often be recognized for their neater organization and internal dividers within folders. The material
makes clear that, in addition to the exhaustive work necessary for planning and executing the exhibitions and corresponding
catalogs, Bellamy and Flynn also were compiling documentation with an eye towards a future catalogue raisonné of Leslie's
work.
|
|
The great number of folders has necessitated further dividing this subseries into three groups of news clippings, photographs,
and exhibition and sales records. Descriptions of those subseries can be found below.
|
| Subseries III.G.1: News Clippings and Bibliography
|
|
All the files in this series were created by the Flynn Gallery in preparation for the series of exhibitions there. Originally,
each clipping was located in its own folder labeled with the article citation and arranged in chronological order. Photocopies
of each article were cut out and pasted to large pieces of board with additional loose copies present. Only loose copies of
each clipping have been retained. And while the chronological order has been kept, files have been condensed and the original
enumerations discarded. The first folder in the series contains a bibliography compiled from these clippings by the Flynn
Gallery. Not all the citations in the bibliography are present and a list of missing articles, prepared by the archivist,
is included in the first folder. The clippings are nonetheless a practically complete bibliography of Leslie's career up until
1992. The citations included in the folder descriptions below are taken directly from the bibliography in the first folder.

| Subseries III.G.2: Artwork and Exhibition Photographs
|
|
This subseries contains the vast amount of photographic documentation compiled by Bellamy and Flynn in the course of their
exhibitions. The photographs are arranged within the series according to exhibition or stage of Leslie's career. Most of the
folders are titled after specific works in loose alphabetical order by title. Dates provided in parentheses are of the work;
except for installation photographs, it is unknown when most of the photographs were taken. Folders for individual works typically
contain one 8x10" photograph or 4x5" negative or 4x5" transparency, or a combination of the three. Folders at the end of the
series are more likely to have originated with Richard Bellamy and contain images of numerous works.

| Subseries III.G.3: Exhibition Records, Correspondence, and Other Artist Files
|
|
This subseries contains all the records of the exhibitions and activities Bellamy undertook on Leslie's behalf and the records
created by the Flynn Gallery for the four exhibitions staged there. Because of the two different sources for the records and
Bellamy's loose filing, the folders appeared to be in no order when received. Exhibition folders were mostly grouped together
but materials originating from the same activity or time period were also widely scattered. Here the folders have been rearranged
in an approximate chronological order regardless of possible creator. Exhibition materials include records of sales, loans,
consignments, provenance research, installation plans, shipping and warehouse invoices. There is extensive documentation of
publicity including advertisements, calendar listings, contact with reviewers and press previews. A Leslie catalogue published
for the exhibition of grisaille paintings resulted in a separate set of records. Apart from the exhibitions at the Flynn Gallery
and at Oil & Steel, there are folders of material dealing with Leslie exhibitions at the University of Hartford, The Saint
Louis Art Museum, Magasin 3 in Stockholm, Sweden, and other locations. Other material present includes inventories of work, correspondence, records of
sales and disbursements to the artist, news clippings and exhibition ephemera. The earliest material here originates from
the days of Bellamy's association with the Noah Goldowsky Gallery and stretches until the month of Bellamy's death.

of any member during it's existence. His early death in 1958 cut short an ascendant career as a painter. In 1985, the Oil
& Steel Gallery staged an exhibition of Müller's work and much of the material here documents that show. But some files also
contain records from the Hansa Gallery days. Photographs by Robert Frank and Rudy Burckhardt of Müller and his work almost
certainly date from the Hansa era. Of greatest interest is the nine-page typescript of sales by the Hansa Gallery during the
1956-1957 season. While Müller is the most frequent artist named, many other notable artists are also listed. The names of
purchasers show the serious attention the Hansa received from major collectors and institutions, including The Museum of Modern
Art. This series as a whole testifies to the importance of Müller to the Hansa and his growing significance in the art world
before his death.

As with the Leslie artist files, some of the material here originated with the Flynn Gallery though it is not as clear the
extent to which Rabinowitch's exhibitions were a joint activity with Bellamy. But Bellamy staged his own exhibitions of Rabinowitch's
work during his days as an independent dealer and at Oil & Steel and his acquaintance with the artist stretched over decades,
as the records here testify.

| Subseries III.M: Myron Stout
1954-1997
|
|
Myron Stout was a lifelong resident of Provincetown, and it is likely Bellamy first made his acquaintance there in the 1950s.
Bellamy and Stout maintained a close friendship over the ensuing four decades even as Stout remained a figure marginal to
the larger art world. Stout joined the Hansa Gallery in 1955 and asked Bellamy to be his private dealer afterward. He began
to attract broader attention with an exhibition at The Whitney Museum of American Art in 1980. In the 1990s, the Flynn Gallery,
Kent gallery, and numerous other institutions held posthumous exhibitions of his work and Bellamy fully participated in organizing
them. In 1977, perhaps in preparation for the Whitney retrospective, Kathryn Maartens recorded an interview with Stout conducted
over three months and contained on fourteen audiocassettes; those recordings are described below.

| Subseries III.N: Mark di Suvero
1970-1998
|
|
Mark di Suvero's relationship with Richard Bellamy began in the inaugural year of the Green Gallery. The artist was extensively
represented in exhibitions there, and Bellamy continued to represent him privately over the decades and publicly through the
Oil & Steel Gallery. Their relationship became so close that in 1985 Bellamy moved Oil & Steel from Chambers Street in Manhattan
to 30-40 Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City, part of the same compound as di Suvero's studio and where one or more sculptures
by the artist was always on display. In the last decade of Bellamy's career, after Oil & Steel had ceased public exhibitions,
Bellamy devoted himself almost full-time to coordinating di Suvero exhibitions (particularly in Europe), placing his sculptures
in institutions and collections, and compiling documentation of the artist's oeuvre for an eventual catalogue raisonné. Bellamy
became known for his sensitive photographs of di Suvero's installed sculpture; those photographs covered the walls of his
office at the time of his death (see folder II.D.118).
|
|
The files in this series fully depict the range of Bellamy's activity, though the greater part of the material is devoted
to activities of the 1980s and 1990s. Groups of folders at the beginning of the series particularly focus on exhibitions and
installations of sculptures in Mannheim, Stuttgart, and Bonn, Germany; Paris, Nice, and Valence, France; Valencia, Spain;
Venice, Italy; and Storm King Art Center, New York. Numerous files are also devoted to the consignment, loan, and exhibition
of works by galleries worldwide. Materials within these folders include extensive correspondence with institutions around
the globe; shipping, fabrication, and other expense documents; exhibition announcements, leaflets, and catalogue material;
local and national press and reviews. There are financial records of amounts received by Bellamy and Oil & Steel, and disbursed
to di Suvero and his company, Spacetime, Inc. In fact, the financial and organizational relationship between the two business
is not always clear as there is a great amount of Spacetime stationery here as well as correspondence and business material
addressed directly to di Suvero and his firm. The series also contains extensive work lists, biographical materials on the
artist, and some photographic documentation. There is no real presence of Bellamy's photographic documentation of the artist's
work here as Bellamy's photographic archive of Mark di Suvero's work was acquired by di Suvero in 1998.

| Subseries III.O: Neil Williams
1967-1996
|
|
Neil Williams may be more notable now for his life, friends, and acquaintances, than for the art he made. Bellamy was one
of those friends, but Williams' circle also included Larry Poons, John Chamberlain and other artists; for a while Williams
shared a studio with Frank Stella. Most relevant to this series is that Williams was a tireless and avid photographer who
documented his frequent travels (especially to the American West) and the activities of his friends. In 1988, Williams died
suddenly at the age of fifty-four after residing in Brazil the last years of his life. In 1989 a posthumous exhibition of
his paintings was held coincident with the 20th São Paulo International Biennial.
|
|
Bellamy apparently came into possession of a large quantity of Williams' photographic material after the artist's death. Included
here are 35mm negatives and contact sheets representing more than 2300 images, nearly one hundred 2x2" color slides, and nearly
four hundred 35mm slides. Labeling and dating is erratic but most images seem to date from the late 1960s and the early 1970s.
Some have clearly identifiable subjects (John Chamberlain working on aluminum foil sculptures, for example), but most remain
to be deciphered. Many of the negatives seem to have been developed by hand and show signs of adhesion and staining. Much
of the materials also evidence water damage. Apart from Williams' own photographs, material in this series includes records
related to his posthumous Brazilian exhibition as well as other shows. Photographs and other records here indicate that Bellamy
aided in the documentation of extant works by the artist after his death and in the dispersal of his estate. Finally, these
files also hold a complete sketchbook by Williams (containing drawings in graphite and oil crayon) and a gouache painting
on graph paper.
