Series VII. Financial and administrative files, 1964-1995, bulk 1975-1989,
undated
15.4 Linear
Feet
(30 boxes, 2 flatfile
folders)
|
Series VII comprises financial and administrative files between 1964 and 1995. The
files are both personal and professional and trace the evolution of The Robert
Mapplethorpe Studio at 24 Bond Street from a place where Mapplethorpe lived and worked
from 1972 to 1981, to a space he used exclusively as a studio in 1981, to the office of
Mapplethorpe's fully incorporated business in 1984. Mapplethorpe continued to conduct
much of his personal business through the studio even after he was no longer living at
24 Bond Street, and as a result, the personal and professional documents are
intertwined. Included are financial and administrative records relating to general
studio operations, the sale and loan of his work, the purchase of art for his personal
collection, fellowship applications, and legal and incorporation documents.
|
Arrangement |
This series is arranged alphabetically by administrative function. The files are in
chronological order within the functional categories. Miscellaneous materials are filed
