Archives of American Art New York Research Center Gallery
This event has ended.
In 2007 and 2008 the Archives of American Art acquired the records of James Graham & Sons, one of the oldest continuously operating art galleries in the United States. Founded by Samuel Graham, a Scottish immigrant, James Graham & Sons has been owned and operated by members of the Graham family for more than 150 years. Throughout its long history the firm has specialized in objects ranging from American and European Bronzes to American modernism to British ceramics. The James Graham & Sons gallery records comprise 83 linear feet of documents dating from ca. 1911–2004. Materials include artists files, correspondence, financial records, inventories, exhibition records, photographs, scrapbooks, printed materials and miscellany regarding the operation of the gallery.
