Work Description:
|
This file contains correspondence between Henri Ghent and Clyfford Still from 1976 until Still's death in 1980. It includes details on Ghent's moves to find writing work in New York, his efforts to write a book, and his attempts to secure funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and The MacDowell and Yaddo Artist Colonies. Specific publications that Ghent discusses are QUEST/77, Politicks magazine, Artforum, and Artweek. The letters also include newspaper and magazine clippings of both Ghent's writings and other articles on art, the art scene, and the writing world he thought would be of interest to Still. There is also mentions of Still's exhibitions including his galleries at SFMOMA and his 1979 show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including Still's interest in having Ghent serve as a guest curator. Ghent's personal struggles are an underlying theme in the letters ranging from his exclusion in the art world to his financial struggles to his 1979 heart attack while staying at Yaddo.
