Notable art dealers from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. The records provide a
detailed view of the Duveen Brothers business activities in London, Paris, and New York. Although the archive extends from
1876 to 1981, the bulk of the
material dates from Joseph Duveen's tenure as president of the firm, 1909-1939, and the period 1939-1964 when Edward Fowles
directed the firm (with
Armand Lowengard until 1943). The mass of documents, such as cables and letters, invoices, and ledger and stock books, give
a day-by-day account of art
dealing, business strategy, and the individuals involved. Included are some records from the Kleinberger Galleries, 1906-1971,
and 6 linear feet of
Edward Fowles's papers.
