Recognized worldwide for capturing the essence of American style, a couture designer commissioned one of our archivists to create an archive of his sketches, photographs and clothing designs. The collections are used for licensing, advertising, public relations and frequently are loaned for museum exhibitions. To protect his intellectual property rights, a noted performing and visual artist required his archival holdings to be professionally cataloged. An archive of press clippings, photographs, videotapes including documentation of the artist’s own inventory of artwork was organized and cataloged for his studio. Subsequently, an overseas curator interested in exhibiting the work developed a traveling retrospective based on the collection’s holdings.
