In 1964 Kuh writes Still that she discussed his work with Gordon Smith and that she has been a profound admirer of Still's work and the works in Buffalo are fantastic, Kuh asks to meet Still, Still warns Kuh that he does not have many works to show and does not want to discuss the New York art scene, but Kuh is welcome to visit in Maryland should the opportunity arise. Still and Kuh make plans to meet in May of 1964. Still appreciates meeting Kuh and provides information on his gift of 31 paintings to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Still also tells Kuh that he will ring should he be in New York; Kuh is excited to see the works in Buffalo. In late 1964 Still and Kuh discuss Kuh's disappointment in a Pittsburgh "international" show, Still says he would never been involved in anything like that. In 1965, Kuh sends her article for the AKAG catalog for Still's approval, of which Still is pleased. In late 1965, Still writes about his displeasure of Newman to Kuh. There is a copy of Kuh's 1966 article "The Art That History. Shaped" about her time visiting artists in Israel. Both Still and Kuh discuss their pleasure for the AKAG catalog that Kuh wrote for. Still has some notes that Kuh wrote about the estate in 1969. There is a copy of the 1970 Vogue artile "Still, the Enigma" by Kuh. In late 1970, Still writes to Kuh in which he calls his work that year prolific and intense. In 1971, Still writes Kuh correcting some notes on "Subjects of the Artist" and the 1948 Metart show. There is a copy of Kuh's article "The Auguste Rodin Affair" from 1971. In 1979 Still writes in appreciation for Kuh's work in the Metropolitan Museum of Art catalog. In early 1980 there are letters from Sandra Still and Clyfford Still about Still's health struggles. Kuh sends a review of the Metropolitan show. Kuh sends her condolances upon Still's death. In 1983, Kuh and Patricia Still discuss some options for the Clyfford Still Museum including Still's museum model and thoughts about using the Getty Museum in California. Finally, there is a final copy of Kuh's forward for the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
