Historical Note

From the beginning, the Museum of Modern Art's trustees intended that the Museum should be more than a repository or an exhibition gallery for modern art and that it should promote an understanding of the most vital art being produced in the time to the widest possible range of individuals and institutions. In 1931, two years after it was founded, the Museum organized its first exhibition of modern architecture and what was to become its first traveling exhibition, The International Exhibition of Modern Architecture. The trustees assumed responsibility for half of the cost of the show, on the condition that the balance could be raised among other participating institutions. An illustrated pamphlet outlining the plan and the importance of the exhibition was sent to museums throughout the country and eleven institutions subscribed. During 1931 the Museum had assembled sixty color reproductions with commentary by Museum director Alfred H. Barr, Jr. for a group of New York secondary schools. This exhibition, A Brief Survey of Modern Painting, was so well received during the first year of the tour which began in October 1932 that a duplicate show was prepared, which traveled for nine years.

These two exhibitions prepared the way for the Department of Circulating Exhibitions, officially established in 1933, which supplied exhibitions of modern art to other institutions. Elodie Courter, a member of the Museum staff, became Secretary of Circulating Exhibitions in November 1935 and played an active role in the development of that department. She was named director in 1939, a position she held until 1947. During that period, the number and variety of the Museum's traveling exhibitions increased, until the roster of circulating exhibitions encompassed all the fields included in the Museum itself: industrial design, the graphic arts, theater arts, photography, and film, in addition to painting, sculpture, and architecture.

Among the most widely-seen exhibitions circulated by the department in its first five years were Machine Art, 1934-38; Paintings, Watercolors and Drawings by van Gogh, 1936; and Portrait of the Artist's Mother" by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, 1933-34. In addition, the department adapted and circulated during its first decade Museum exhibitions such as American Folk Art, 1932-33; Cubism and Abstract Art, 1936-37; Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism, 1937; Photography: 1839-1937, 1937-38; Six Modern Sculptors, 1936-38; and, in the 1940s, Ancestral Sources of Modern Painting, 1941-46; Latin American Contemporary Art, 1942-43; Modern Architecture for the Modern School, 1942-46; and Picasso: Forty Years of His Art, 1940-43.

In 1939 a grant was obtained from the Rockefeller Foundation to enable the Museum to expand its program of exhibitions specially prepared for smaller educational institutions. During the next four years, a large number of inexpensive exhibitions, including original works as well as color reproductions, was assembled and offered at nominal fees to the exhibitors. High-quality color reproductions enabled the Museum to introduce to the public works that would otherwise have been too costly to pack and ship or perhaps impossible to obtain on loan; exhibitions such as these proved ideal for educational institutions. Among the most widely-circulated of these exhibitions were A Brief Survey of Modern Painting, 1931-39; How Modern Artists Paint People, 1943-48; Paintings and Drawings by Vincent van Gogh, 1935-42; and What Is Modern Painting?, 1944-54.

When, in 1943, the Rockefeller Foundation grant was exhausted, the Department of Circulating Exhibitions and the Museum's Educational Program, under the direction of Victor d'Amico, combined facilities to provide further material for use in secondary and elementary schools. This program was later modified to include multiple exhibitions consisting of lightweight panels on which color reproductions, photographs or diagrams were mounted; teaching portfolios, which were designed for classroom use and offered to educational institutions at a special reduction; and slide talks, which included both color and black-and-white slides as well as an accompanying text. These materials also played an important part in the continuation of the Museum's exhibitions program during World War II, when the circulation of large-scale exhibitions was necessarily curtailed. Many of the exhibitions that were prepared for circulation during the war period focused on topics that were an adjunct to the war itself, for example, Camouflage for Civilian Defense, 1942-44; Road to Victory, prepared in multiple editions for circulation in 1943-44; The Arts in Therapy, 1943-46; War Posters Today, 1942-44; "Yank" Illustrates the War, 1943-44; and the large-scale exhibition Airways to Peace, which was circulated in 1943-44. Exhibitions were also prepared in cooperation with the Office of War Information (OWI) for purchase and circulation abroad.

In 1952, a grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund made possible a five-year project, the International Circulating Exhibitions Program, expanding the scope of the Museum's traveling exhibitions to include Europe and Latin America. Porter A. McCray, then director of the Department of Circulating Exhibitions, was appointed director of the newly formed International Program. Twenty-two of the first twenty-five exhibitions prepared under this project were circulated outside the United States; the remaining three, devoted to arts of other countries, circulated in the United States. In 1969, the administration of exhibitions presented in New York and of those circulated by the Department of Circulating Exhibitions were consolidated into one department, the Exhibition Program. This new department was directed by Wilder Green. From 1972 to 1996 Richard Palmer was director of the Museum's Department of Exhibition Program.


Scope and Content Note

The processed papers of the the Department of Circulating Exhibitions include 147 linear feet of correspondence, research notes, published materials, lists, large-format scrapbook albums, photograph albums, photographs, photographic panels, record album, display book, and ephemera pertaining to departmental administration and the organization and circulation of exhibitions. 73 linear feet of records are stored in 20 10.25x12.5x15.5" storage boxes; 102 5" document boxes; 17 2.5" document boxes; 1 3x5x12" and 2 4.5x6x8" index card boxes. The remaining 74 linear feet include 49 16x13x4" large-format albums containing press clippings, photographs, promotional and other materials pertaining to individual exhibitions circulated by the department; 1 10x12" photograph album; 57 8.5x11" photograph albums; 2 bundles (32x43.5"; 20x25") of photographic panels; 1 12" acetate record album; and 1 21x23.5x5" particle-board display book.

During processing, we discovered records of exhibitions that traveled but that were not listed in the Museum's files; working folders for exhibitions that had been proposed but were ultimately cancelled; exhibitions listed in Museum records for which no documentary material exists; records for international circulating exhibitions containing foreign artwork that were circulated nationally and to Canada, or that were transferred from the Department of Circulating Exhibitions for international circulation; and Educational Program projects that were transferred to the department for circulation. The inclusive dates for these records is 1931 through 1969. This predates the official establishment of the Department in 1933 and ends with the reorganization of the Department of Circulating Exhibitions into the Exhibition Program in 1969.

The Department of Circulating Exhibitions collaborated with all curatorial departments within the Museum in order to insure a diverse program of exhibitions covering a wide range of media - painting, sculpture, prints, photography, graphic and industrial design and architecture. As a result, the records include correspondence from staff important to the early history of The Museum of Modern Art, including Alfred H. Barr, Jr., René d'Harnoncourt, Dorothy C. Miller, James Johnson Sweeney, James Thrall Soby and Monroe S. Wheeler, among others. Also included are the administrative records of the first director of the department, Elodie Courter.

These papers reveal the Museum's role as a promulgator of modern art in this country, both through its innovative program of circulating exhibitions to other institutions, as well as its role in educating several generations of art students, as well as the general public, through its collaborations with the Museum's Educational Program. They also reflect the Museum's support of U.S. interests abroad during and immediately following World War II. For example, the Department of Circulating Exhibitions prepared numerous exhibitions for the United States Office of War Information for European tour during the 1940s, including the survey exhibitions America Builds and Modern American Architecture Additionally, during this period, more than two dozen exhibitions of photographs and government war posters were prepared for national tour that focused on such timely issues as wartime housing, internment of Japanese-Americans and the cultural impact of the war. Similarly, the department was instrumental in establishing a program of cultural exchange with Latin America through its collaboration with the Office of the Coordinator for Inter-American Affairs in Washington, D.C., for which it organized exhibitions of Latin American art for circulation in this country as well as exhibitions of American art and architecture for tour in Latin America. This later served as the model for the Museum's International Program which began in 1953.

These papers are also an important source of general art historical information. For instance, the pioneering Museum of Modern Art exhibition Cubism and Abstract Art, which was held at the Museum in Spring 1936, was circulated nationally in 1936-37; the files contain, for example, autographed letters to Alfred H. Barr, Jr. from Alexander Calder, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, Alberto Giacometti, Jacques Lipchitz and Piet Mondrian, as well as other artists whose work was included in the exhibition. Other original documentation includes lecture notes by the art critic Meyer Schapiro, which were prepared for the retrospective exhibition Picasso: Forty Years of His Art, circulated in the early 1940s; and László Moholy-Nagy's panel sketches for the 1942 exhibition How to Make a Photogram.

Administrative Information

Provenance

The papers were transferred to the Archives from four separate sources: a storage area above the Library (transferred from the Exhibition Program Department, Summer 1985); a records warehouse; and the departments of the Registrar and of Public Information. Before processing began, a complete list of circulating exhibitions did not exist. A preliminary list of approximately 700 exhibitions was compiled by cross-referencing existing aids: the Registrar card index, the album card index and a list maintained by a former member of the Circulating Exhibitions staff. This list, which formed the basis for the finding aid, was supplemented by a thorough reading of the papers during processing as well as research conducted in the International Circulating Exhibitions records, the Library, and in the offices of the Registrar and the International Program

Processing, Conservation and Condition Note

Due to their brittle and deteriorating state, the scrapbook albums of Series III were cleaned, rehoused, and microfilmed in 2007. Digital scans were made from the microfilm at the same time. The purpose of the conservation and reformatting project was to treat the original objects for long-term storage and to provide greater access to information. In a temporary, in-house conservation lab, each album was disassembled and placed in custom-made archival folders and boxes. Each page was brushed to remove excess dust and debris, and items were detached from support pages to make visible information obstructed by glue or other adhesives. All album covers were kept as part of the collection.

During the conservation process, the albums were given a sequential number order following the original arrangement. Exhibitions within the albums were also given a sequential number order. Further, more accurate data about the material in the albums was gathered. Previously unlisted exhibitions and albums have been added to the finding aid. Date ranges were referenced against exhibition itineraries and the Exhibition History List. Exhibition titles were confirmed against information in the albums, exhibition files and the Exhibition History List. The type of document (itinerary, checklist, press release, etc.) was identified for research purposes and is included in the description of each exhibition below. This information, as well as the exhibition title and date, is also included as metadata in the digital files.

All material in the albums has been captured with the exception of MoMA publications as they are readily available elsewhere. Full image of oversize items can be found on microfilm reel 27. All binding tools and hardcovers for Albums 21, 22, 34 and 46 have been kept for reassembly.

Microfilm and digital scanning was produced by Hudsonmicroimaging, Inc in accordance with standards set by ANSI, AIIM, Library of Congress and the RLG Guidelines for Microfilming to Support Digitization.

Administrative Matters, arranged into twenty-four series, includes departmental records from 1932 through the 1960s. Significant chronological gaps exist, most notably, in the areas of program proposals and status reports, finance and exhibitor correspondence. Other record types include annual calendars and catalogs of exhibitions available for rental or purchase; published material on the department's activities; a visual card file of color reproductions of works of art; correspondence regarding the preparation of exhibitions for the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and the Office of War Information (OWI); memoranda concerning the International Exhibitions Program; loan and exhibition statistics; exhibitor questionnaires; and promotional materials. Much of this material dates from the mid 1930s and 1940s and highlights the Museum's active support of the United States Government as well as European art and artists during World War II. For related exhibition materials, see Series II.1: Exhibitions, 1931-69.

I.24 Exhibitor Correspondence

221 folders contained in 19 5" document boxes; 8 linear feet

Correspondence was originally maintained alphabetically by city of origin as well as chronologically by year; e.g.,"1937 A,""1944 A," etc

The alphabetical organization has been maintained; however, papers have been integrated chronologically, eliminating the need to consult numerous chronologically arranged files for correspondence from a single individual or institution. Chronological gaps exist; records may have been discarded during the late 1970s and early 1980s when the Museum's building expansion program necessitated the relocation of departmental staff.

Since correspondence is filed by city, the researcher must know the location of the institution or the individual correspondent's city of residence (e.g., correspondence with Wesleyan University is filed under Middletown, CT); therefore, these records are best used in conjunction with the exhibition files inventoried in Series II.1, which contain the names and locations of all exhibitors on an exhibition's itinerary. Note that suburbs, boroughs and neighborhoods within the boroughs of New York City - e.g., Bayside, Brooklyn, Floral Park, Forest Hills, Ft. Hamilton, Jamaica, Ozone Park, Ridgewood, Riverdale and Staten Island - were frequently filed alphabetically by name as well as within the New York City correspondence files.

Series II. Exhibitions

This series includes records concerning the organization of circulating exhibitions from 1931-1990, is arranged chronologically into two series: Series II.1, Exhibitions, 1931-58 and Series II.2, Exhibitions, 1959-69, Series II.3 Exhibitions 1964-1990.

In addition to the exhibition itinerary and checklist (included for all exhibitions cited unless otherwise noted), the records may contain the following: press releases; box lists; packing/unpacking instructions; wall label texts; interoffice memoranda; customs receipts; shipping and insurance documents; correspondence with participating institutions and lenders; publicity reports; press clippings; photographs, including installation views; and undated material. Correspondence of art historical significance or of particular relevance to the Museum's history is noted

Descriptive entries for each exhibition include the exhibition's title, as it appears in published materials; the predominating media type of the works included in the exhibition; its dates of circulation and number of venues on the tour, as confirmed by the itinerary and administrative records; and album reference, if any. The registrar number assigned to exhibitions proposed for domestic circulation between 1959 and 1968 (Series II.2) is also indicated. The majority of the entries are annotated to include information regarding an exhibition's origin, including variant title and installation dates of the Museum exhibition on which it was based; previous or subsequent tours; alternate titles by which the exhibition was known; curator responsible for exhibition; sponsorship; lenders; international circulation; and dispersal.
