Work Description:
|
This file contains correspondence between Jeffrey Loria and Clyfford Still. It opens with Loria contacting Still in 1972 in hopes to purchase some paintings directly from Still, Loria mentions he could've purchased from Marlborough, but he doesn't like Marlborough's practices, Patricia Still tells Loria no paintings are for sale. Later in 1972, Loria thanks Still for having lunch with him in Baltimore; Still also appreciates Loria and invites him to New Windsor, but warns that most paintings are in storage. In 1974 Still is willing to discuss his work with Loria, but warns that there is little available for sale, but may reopen conversations at the end of the year. In 1976, Still agrees to sell PH-66, PH-21, and PH-905 to Loria for $200,000 and an invoice is sent to Loria. Loria pays in full. Still writes Loria to talk about his paintings, they are not fixed objects, but living organisms and "practical concern is defense against the assault of physical attack or abuse." Still also discusses the materials used in the paintings, instructions for stretching and display, and instructions for traveling and handling. Loria sends transparencies of all three paintings. In Summer of 1976, Clyfford Still asks Loria to take him to a Yankees game, and Loria sends a book about the Yankees and agrees to take Still to a game. In 1977 Loria contacts Still to visit in New Windsor, Still tells Loria that no works are for sale. In 1978, Loria tells Still that they have moved into a larger home and his works are hanging on the walls of the new apartment. In 1979, Loria writes in excitement for the Metropolitan show and gives announcement that his wife is pregnant. Later, Loria writes in hopes our touring the Metropolitan show privately with Still and hopes to purchase 4-6 more paintings; Still appreciates Loria's interest, but does not have works for sale. In May of 1980 Loria purchases three more Stills, PH-362, PH-1, and PH-967 for $350,000. In June 1980, Loria sends his condolences upon Still's death and includes Still's obituary. In October 1981 Loria sends a transparency to Patricia Still of a forgery. There are New York Times articles about Loria and his relationship to baseball and his art collection. Patricia Still writes to Loria in 1986 and 1996 that Philadelphia or Williamstown, Massachusetts are not options of the Clyfford Still Museum and Loria shouldn't waste time on this project. Finally, there is a clipping of Loria's bid to buy part of the Orioles.
