Issue mock-ups and page proofs, audio files, installation photographs, correspondence, edited interview typescripts, exhibition announcements, ephemera, subscriber mailing lists, and invoices present a holistic picture of the magazine's production, while bringing into view the surrounding artistic milieu from which the magazine emerged.

Arrangement

The Archive is arranged into five series (I-V), with Series I divided into two sub-series (I.A and I.B). The collection was initially received in thirty record cartons (now series I.A-IV) and eight oversized flat boxes (now subseries I.B). The collection's final physical arrangement and corresponding series and subseries titles were established in consultation with the Chief of Archives, Michelle Elligott.
The archival principle of original order was adhered to during processing whenever possible, though most series did require moderate intervention by the project archivist. Series I: Issue Files and Series III: Audio Tapes are arranged chronologically. Series II: Artist Research and Subject Files is arranged alphabetically. Please refer to specific series' scope notes for more detailed descriptions of series arrangements.
The five series are as follows:
Series I: Magazine Issues
Subseries I.A: Issue Files
Subseries I.B: Mechanicals/Mock-ups/Layouts
Series II: Artist Research and Subject Files
Series III: Audio Tapes
Series IV: Administrative and Financial Records
Series V: Avalanche Magazine Reprint


Biographical Note

Liza Béar: Béar (b. 1942) is a co-founder and co-editor of Avalanche with Willoughby Sharp. She was raised in both France and England and she studied Philosophy at the University of London. Béar began her career in magazines working in trade journalism on London's Fleet Street, but quickly transitioned into London's underground magazine subculture working as an editor and a translator. She moved to New York City in 1968 where she met Willoughby Sharp through a mutual artist friend. Soon thereafter they began working on the first issue of Avalanche. As co-editor, Béar took care of the magazine's editorial processes and oversaw most of its production operations. During the years of Avalanche's production (1970-1976) Béar became an important figure in the alternative art scene of New York's SoHo neighborhood. Béar continues to live New York where she works as a filmmaker and a writer.

Willoughby Sharp: Sharp (1936-2008) was a co-founder and co-editor of Avalanche with Liza Béar. Sharp was the magazine's principal designer and art director, responsible for its visual layout. Sharp was born and raised in New York City. He received his BA from Brown University in 1957. He obtained a Master's degree in art history from Columbia University in 1967, where he studied with Meyer Shapiro and wrote his thesis on kinetic art. Sharp also pursued graduate studies in art history at the University of Paris in 1957-58 and the University of Lausanne in 1958-59. Sharp was a notable figure in the New York art scene during the 1960s and 1970s. Self-proclaimed as a "proselytizer of the avant-garde," Sharp was a champion of the Earth, Conceptual, and performance art movements. Sharp befriended Joseph Beuys in Dusseldorf in 1958 and was intrumental in introducing Beuys to the American public. He was also a video and performance artist as well as an independent curator. In 1966, Sharp co-founded Kineticism Press with Paul Maenz, an independent publishing business registered in New York, which recieved an award from the New York Type Director's Club in 1967 for its Gunther Uecker monograph and nail relief multiple. Sharp indepently organized several important exhibitions, perhaps the most notable of these were Air Art (1968-69), Earth Art at the Andrew Dickson White Museum at Cornell University in 1969, and Pier 18 in February/March 1971. In Novemeber 1975, Sharp co-founded The Franklin Street Arts Center at 112 Franklin Street. He died of cancer in New York City in 2008 at the age of 72.


Historical Note

Avalanche was co-founded by Liza Béar and Willoughby Sharp in New York City in 1968. The impetus for the magazine's creation was to intentionally challenge the more critic-based, formalist-driven, art journals such as Art Forum. The mission of Avalanche was to give artists a voice, a space to discuss their works, their creative processes, and even their political opinions. Béar and Sharp focused their attention on those artists who circulated in avant-garde circles of the 1960s and 1970s, both in New York and internationally. They paid particular attention to those artists who considered themselves practitioners of Conceptual, Post-Minimalist, Earth, performance and video art, such as Jan Dibbets, Dennis Oppenheim, Joseph Beuys, Phillip Glass, Simone Forti, and Yvonne Rainer.

The promotional subscription flyer sent out before the publication of the first issue of Avalanche describes the magazine as "a photo journal devoted to new sculpture." With Avalanche Béar and Sharp produced a highly curated journal, a rich fusion of text and image. It was a magazine that was consciously and critically engaged with the relationship between printed matter and artwork at a moment when notions of the ephemeral and immaterial were being discussed and engaged with critically by a growing number of artists.

Béar and Sharp first met in New York City through a mutual friend in 1968. According to firsthand accounts given by both Sharp and Béar the two had an instant rapport and they quickly decided to start a magazine together. According to Béar: "We jumped right in and literally got down to work on the magazine's format, laying out early issues of Life and Dadaist publications on the floor. It never occurred to us to raise money first" (Béar and Sharp, The Early History of Avalanche).

Between 1968 and 1970 Béar and Sharp worked on the first issue out of Sharp's Gramercy Park apartment. It was on sale by the fall of 1970 and a portrait of performance and action artist par excellence, Joseph Beuys, graced the inaugural cover (certainly an intentional nod to Avalanche's international reach). After the publication of the second issue in April of 1971, Béar and Sharp received two grants that helped cover some production costs; one from the Coordinating Council for Literary Magazines and another from the J.M. Kaplan fund. In the same year they relocated Avalanche's operations to a 1,225 square foot loft at 93 Grand Street in New York's SoHo neighborhood. It took a year relocate to their new headquarters, but during this period of transition Béar and Sharp utilized the raw space by hosting performances by Vito Acconci, Bill Beckley, Terry Fox and William Wegman.

Though Béar and Sharp had initially intended to publish Avalanche quarterly, it came out infrequently over the next six years. Only one issue came out during the first year, the next year there were two, and the following year there were three. After 1973 an average of two a year were published and in 1974, after a spike in printing costs, Avalanche switched to a newspaper format (published on 50lb uncoated white paper). In the first five issues of Avalanche (1970-1972), Kineticism Press is identified on the masthead as the publisher. Throughout its tenure of production, the magazine was financed entirely by advertising, subscriptions, newsstand and bookstore sales, and grants. In April 1974 Béar and Sharp started the not-for profit organization, Center for New Art Activities, Inc. (CNAA), in order to receive more grant funding. The money awarded to CNAA was used to support Avalanche projects and various related endeavors, which included an Avalanche video project, Send/Receive Satellite Network, Collaborative Projects, Inc. and Bomb Magazine.

Avalanche presented the work of dozens of up-and-coming artists, often before they had solo exhibitions in physical galleries and museums. The pages of Avalanche served, in essence, as a two-dimensional exhibition space. Béar and Sharp introduced their readers to artists like Walter De Maria, George Trakas, Lowell Darling, Jannis Kounellis, Chris Burden, Barbara Dilley, Franz Erhard Walther, Vito Acconci, William Wegman, Jack Smith, Laurie Anderson, Rita Myers, and Meredith Monk. It is also worth noting that Avalanche intentionally featured a large number of women sculptors and performance artists, especially in the later issues. Notable women artists found in the pages of Avalanche include: Joan Jonas, Alice Aycock, Trisha Brown, Colleen Fitzgibbon, and Hanne Darboven.

Each issue included artist interviews, extensive photographic spreads, and textual documents of various artists' works. Additionally, each issue (except for issues no. 6 and no. 9) included a "Rumbles" section, which promoted and described current art world events as well as recent publications and artist messages. The magazine also exposed the social environment in which Avalanche artists circulated. For example, several issues include advertisements for popular watering holes and eateries for the growing New York art community. Downtown institutions like Max's Kansas City, Fanelli's, and FOOD, the cooperative conceptual art restaurant founded by Caroline Goodden, Tina Girouard, Suzanne Harris and Gordon Matta-Clark, all had an advertising presence in the magazine. Béar and Sharp also chose to include some political content in the pages of Avalanche. Questions surrounding artist rights and institutional practices were of particular concern. Issue number eight, for example, discussed its support of a 1973 union strike at The Museum of Modern Art.

The thirteenth and final issue of Avalanche was published in the summer of 1976. Production ceased largely due to finacial strains. Béar and Sharp were transparent about the magazine's economic troubles by choosing to reproduce a page of their ledger book on its final cover.

Scope and Content

The collection offers a comprehensive view of all matters concerning the creation and production of Avalanche, a New York City-based avant-garde artist journal edited and published by Liza Béar and Willoughby Sharp. The collection spans the years 1968 to 1981, but the bulk of the collection's material dates from 1970-1976--the years of the magazine's publication. The materials contained within the collection vary in their media and format. They include: page layouts and mockups, original photography, negatives, slides, audio interviews, correspondence and correspondence art pieces, exhibition and performance announcements, instructions for and documentation of performance art pieces and actions, posters, press releases, newspaper clippings, edited interview typescripts, advertisement mechanicals, invoices, monthly bills, personal calendars and notebooks.

Avalanche is often considered a publication that straddled the line between artist's book and art journal and the materials in the collection offer researchers a detailed picture of what producing a small independent magazine of its kind entailed, both editorially and financially. The remastered audio tapes in Series III, as well as the edited interview typescripts found in Subseries I.A, document conversations between Béar and/or Sharp and featured artists such as Ed Ruscha, Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton, Jackie Winsor, Barry Le Va, Italo Scanga, William Wegman, Bruce McLean, Vito Acconci, Terry Fox, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Meredith Monk, Bruce Nauman, Richard Serra, and Lawrence Weiner. Béar and/or Sharp conducted all the interviews for Avalanche themseleves and edited them collaboratively with the artists. The recordings are some of the archive's richest resources. They are valuable historical documents that both capture the artist's voice and comment on the nature of the cooperative relationship between artist and editor(s). Related artist materials found in Series II, which mostly include photographs, exhibition announcements, artist statements, and correspondence, are similarly essential in that they contribute to the history of the early careers of these aforementioned artists.

Subscriber mailing lists and correspondence, which include addresses from Poland to Kansas, found in Series IV indicate wide readership of Avalanche (the initial print run was 5,000 copies; and circulation ranged from 4,000 to 6,250); while grant applications, monthly bills and budgets, and countless invoices suggest something of the financial demands involved with producing a magazine of this kind that lacked the resources of a major publishing house. The fiscal strains Avalanche endured are unapologetically acknowledged in the last issue, which reproduces the magazine's financial ledger as its cover image.

The Avalanche Magazine Archives are also a valuable tool for those researchers and scholars concerned with the development of the Conceptual, Earth, Post-Minimalist, performance and video art movements, all of which gained considerable traction in the 1960s and 1970s in the New York and international art scenes. For example, those files associated with the production of Avalanche issue no. 6 (Fall 1972), are devoted entirely to the work of Vito Acconci. In retrospect this issue acts as a sort of catalogue of Acconci's early work and the files that relate to the production of this issue include a substantial amount of photographic documentation and written notes for many of his early performances including: Performance Test (1969), Rubbing Piece (1970), and Control Box. (1971). Individual artists were continually paid homage in the pages of Avalanche. For example, a large portion of issue no.8 was dedicated to Robert Smithson after his tragic and sudden death in a plane crash in 1973.

There is also a significant amount of gallery related material and ephemera in both the Subseries I.A and Series II. These materials highlight the role of several art institutions, and 112 Greene St., The Kitchen, Paula Cooper Gallery, 98 Greene St. Loft, FOOD, and Reese Palley Gallery all appear as crucial alternative art spaces committed to the promotion of this developing avant-garde. When considered en masse the materials contained within the Avalanche Magazine Archives speak both to the daily operations of the magazine as well as to the general ambiance and scene from which it emerged.

Series V is comprised entirely of the Avalanche reprint, a box set that was produced and sold by Primary Information in 2010. Researchers who are particularly concerned with the aesthetics of the magazine--its photographs, page spreads, and typography--will find this a useful resource.

Provenance

The documents contained in the Avalanche Archives were originally collected and arranged by Avalanche's founders, Liza Béar and Willoughby Sharp. The collection was purchased by private collectors Gilbert and Lila Silverman (also the previous owners of MoMA's The Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection now in MoMA Archives). Under their ownership the collection was overseen by their curator and advisor, Jon Hendricks. With the help of Hendricks, the Archives were donated to The Museum of Modern Art Archives by the Silvermans in 2005. The materials came to the museum in thirty record cartons and eight oversize flat boxes.

Processing and Condition Information

Funding for processing the Avalanche Magazine Archives was provided by MoMA's Wallis Annenberg Fund for Innovation in Contemporary Art through the Annenberg Foundation; The Contemporary Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art; Philip E. Aarons and Shelley Fox Aarons; Emily Rauh Pulitzer; Kathleen Fuld; The Cowles Charitable Trust; Carol LeWitt; and Milton Dresner.

The bulk of the materials in the Archive are in good condition. However, the magazine mock-ups (subseries I.B) arrived at the museum in varying degrees of paper degradation. Additionally, most of the once-glued mechanical clippings on the mock-ups had become unattached and as such, these documents required extensive preservation work. Over the course of six months, Project Archivist, Cristiana Dobrzynski Grippe, along with intern, Jessica Camhi, carefully worked to reattach any unglued segments using an adhesive of wheat-paste and water.

Over one hundred and fifty audio recordings documenting conversations, presentations, interviews, phone calls, and radio programs also came in the original gift (now Series III). Many of these cassette tapes and audio reels were in fragile condition and were deemed unplayable. In order to provide continued and reliable access to the material contained on these tapes, they were conserved and digitally remastered with the financial assistance of MoMA's Wallis Annenberg Foundation for Innovation in Contemporary Art. Transcripts of these tapes were also created and are now included in the series.


Container List

Series I: Magazine Issues 1968-1976

Series I: Magazine Issues is broken up into two subseries: I.A: Issue Files and I.B: Mechanicals/Mock-ups/Layouts.

Subseries I.A: Issue Files 1968-1976

The materials in subseries I.A provide documentary support for the production of Avalanche issues 1-13. There is an abundance of miscellaneous issue research and editorial material contained within this series, including editorial notes, black-and-white installation photographs, instruction for and documentation of performance pieces, advertisement mechanicals, artist biographies, correspondence, exhibition announcements, posters, and press releases. Researchers will be able to identify things that did not make it into the final version of the magazine; as such, these files will enable researchers to understand Avalanche's complete editorial process.

Items that might be of interest include: an announcement for live performances by Terry Fox, Vito Acconci, and Dennis Oppenheim at Reese Palley Gallery on January 15, 1971; a signed agreement between Vito Acconci, Sharp, and Béar from 1971 in which Acconci takes full responsibility for any damages caused by his performance piece, Claim; an edited transcript of Joseph Beuys's "Public Dialogue at the New School of Social Research" from January 11, 1974; black-and-white film stills from Nancy Holt's Pine Barrens; and a series of correspondence with Barbara Dilley. A complete printed run of Avalanche is also included in the subseries.The materials in subseries I.A were primarily found in boxes one through seven of the original gift and while they were arranged more or less chronologically, according to each issue, some reordering by the archivist was nevertheless necessary. Within each issue's materials, the files were arranged in no discernable order and were subsequently organized by the archivist according to the segment of the magazine in which they appeared, if identifiable. Various documents related to the production of specific issues were also found interspersed throughout the original gift. These materials were identified by the archivist and interfiled into the series where appropriate.

Subseries I.B: Mechanicals/Mock-Ups/Layouts 1968-1976

Subseries I.B: Mechanicals/Mock-Ups/Layouts display the final page proofs for twelve of Avalanche's thirteen issues. The mock-ups for issue six ("the Acconci issue") were lost before the Archives came into the Museum's possession in 2005. Nearly all the materials in this subseries are oversized measuring 12 7/8 x 20" (32.7 x 50.8 cm). The large, flat format of these documents is noteworthy in that it explicitly reveals how carefully and consciously Béar and Sharp curated each two-page spread of the magazine.

The mock-ups received significant preservation and conservation work by project archivist, Christiana Dobrzynki Grippe and supplemental materials--predominately photographic material--that were not determined to be part of the original magazine mock-ups were subsequently integrated into Subseries I.A by the archivist.

Series II: Artist Research and Subject Files 1965-2003

Series II: Artist Research and Subject Files contain photographs, exhibition announcements and catalogues, correspondence, press clippings, posters and other related ephemera on artists, institutions, and events (e.g. exhibitions, performances, and book signings). While many of these files reflect the people and places that were in some way associated with Avalanche, it should also be noted that a substantial portion of the material contained within this series was probably unsolicited--sent to the magazine's office by interested artists, readers, and art-related intuitions from across the world. These files came to the museum arranged alphabetically (last names first) and the current series arrangement reflects this original order. For preservation purposes, many newspaper clippings have been photocopied and the originals have been marked as restricted to avoid excessive handling and further decay. Researchers should note that there is some overlap in content with Series I.

Series highlights include: a statement regarding the removal of Takis' Electromagnetic Sculpture from The Museum of Modern Art's The Machine at the End of the Mechanical Age (1969); a postcard to Béar and Sharp from John Baldessari; an invitation for Lowell and Kathleen Darling's divorce; a flyer for Gilbert and George's Underneath the Arches; correspondence with Image Bank's Marcel Idea; and a transcript of a conversation between Béar and Nam June Paik. A file titled "Junk Mail," which included correspondence art pieces by Ray Johnson and the Hoo Hoo Archive, was originally filed with the Series IV: Administrative and Financial Records materials. It was removed at the discretion of the archivist and filed in this series. The folder's title remains "Junk Mail."

Series III: Audio Tapes 1968-1978

Series III is comprised entirely of audio files, which are arranged chronologically (chronological arrangement was done by the archivist). For the most part, these recordings document interviews and conversations between Béar, Sharp, and Avalanche-featured artists. Several of the interviews found in this series reflect the interviews reproduced in the magazine such as those with Barry Le Va, William Wegman, Vito Acconci and Tina Girouard. In nearly all instances the interviews included in the pages of Avalanche do not reproduce the exact content heard on these tapes and consequently, researchers are sure to identify editorial changes. It is important to note that all editing was done collaboratively with the artists. There are also recordings included in this series that did not appear in Avalanche. Examples include an interview between Sharp and Ger Van Elk marked "'The Symmetry of Diplomacy'" and another with Meredith Monk marked "Pseudo-Marxism." Recordings of other events such as performances and lectures are also included.

As of January 2015, several of the interviews and their corresponding transcripts were reviewed and annotated by Béar. In several cases, Béar clarified misheard names and marked where interviews took place and for what purposes. Subsequently, researchers will notice that several transcripts contain notations by Béar. Photocopies of any additional notes made by Béar may also be included.

The original recordings, which were either recorded on cassette or audio reel, were digitally reformatted and burned onto CDs. These CDs are now available to researchers. Transcripts of the CDs' content have also been created and are included in the files with the remastered recordings. Researchers should note that transcripts were not made for recordings of musical performances or those in foreign languages. The original tapes and the preservation masters (preserved on DVD) are marked as restricted for preservation purposes. The reformatting of the audio tapes was largely overseen by the Museum's former Dedalus Fellow, Naomi Kuromiya.

Series IV: Administrative and Financial Records 1968-1980

Series IV: Administrative and Financial Records record the fiscal and administrative activities of Avalanche. Through a collection of invoices, bills, receipts, to-do lists, correspondence, subscriber mailing lists, notebooks, ledgers, and calendars the business operations of the magazine are well documented. A substantial amount of material in this series relates to matters of subscription and circulation, which was largely overseen by Avalanche employee, Barry Ledoux. While researchers may notice that correspondence of this nature may be signed by either Barry Ledoux or Barry Sonnier, they should note that this is, in fact, the same person. Invoices and bills are found scattered throughout the files in this series and they often relate to the magazine's production costs. Therefore, researchers will notice that there is quite a bit of overlap in the materials contained within this series. For instance, though there are numerous folders titled "Invoices," invoices may also be found in the "Advertising," "Book Store Orders," "Miscellaneous Business," "Pending," and "Subscriptions" files. Those researchers who are concerned with the readership of Avalanche will find nearly all the records in this series useful, but the files marked "Subscriptions"--which range in their content from correspondence to mailing lists--are particularly informative.

The files in this series maintain their original titles, but were rearranged by the archivist alphabetically and then chronologically, if applicable. There are also several files included in this series that may not be considered administrative or financial in nature. Particularly those titled "Televison and Video," "Triple Trouble," "Castelli-Sonnabend Film Catalogue," and "Computer Project." Since most of these are materials correspond to projects that were not directly related to Avalanche and given the fact they came to the museum interfiled among the magazine's administraive records, they continue to remain in this series.

Series V: Avalanche Magazine Reprint 2010

A complete run of Avalanche was reprinted by Primary Information in 2010. Only 1,000 copies were printed. Produced as a collector's box set, all issues are housed together in one sturdy laminated archival box measuring 10.5" x 19.5". The first eight issues are exact facsimiles of the original magazines while the newspaper issues (nos. 9-13) were reprinted and bound together in a single volume. As a result the last five issues are slightly reduced in scale.

Folder Title Date
V.1* Avalanche Reprint
