Work Description:
This file contains correspondence between the office of the director of the National Gallery in Washington DC and Clyfford Still, clippings and articles about the National Gallery, and announcements from the National Gallery. It opens with a 1963 note from the National Gallery that the opening exhibition of paintings from the Museum of Modern Art will not open on December 16, but opens on the 17th, out of respect for the late President Kennedy. The next item is a 1971 letter from Assistant Director Charles Parkhurst to Clyfford Still about David Shirey's article in the New York Times and how the National Gallery of Art needs a Clyfford Still Painting, Parkhurst also hopes that his move to Washington will not affect their meetings as they had when Parkhurst was in Baltimore. There is an article from the Washington Post about a new building for the National Gallery designed by I. M. Pei. In October 1971, Parkhurst writes Still to se if he would make a donation to the National Gallery, Still responds that he loves getting lunch with Parkhurst, but he is not willing to give a gift to the National Gallery until he has a strong understanding of the gallery's commitment to Still's work. In 1973, Parkhurst invites Still to Washington to see the new building plans, which Still agrees to come. There are a series of articles about the National Gallery's collections and exhibitions in the New York Times and Newsweek. Still receives a variety of calendars of the National Gallery's events and invitations to exhibitions. Parkhurst tells Still they had the 1951 Yellow painting on loan from Marsha Weisman. There is another series of articles about the National Gallery. The National Gallery sends the Goya catalog for their 1976 show. In 1977 Parkhurst contacts Still about loaning some pieces for the opening of the new building for the National Gallery, Still tentatively agrees and ultimately suggests the Gallery borrows from one of 17 owners in the greater DC area. There are a series of brochures and articles about the new building for the National Gallery. Director J. Carter Brown invites Still to a private tour of the new building. Parkhurst and the National Gallery sends condolences upon Still's death in 1980, which Patricia Still appreciates. In 1982, the National Gallery tells Patricia Still that Parkhurst is retiring from the gallery, and send an invitation to his retirement ceremony. The majority of the remainder of the file are invitations to events at the Gallery or articles on updates to the collection at the National Gallery. There is a 1996 letter that the Meyerhoff Collection is being donated to the gallery, which includes Still's 1951-N.
