Scope and content

This series includes examples of original artwork, photographs of original artwork, and reproductions for publication of exhibit catalogs, programs, et cetera, therefore materials are divided between “Originals,” and “Reproductions.” Items include pencil sketches, pen and ink drawings, watercolors, and line and wash drawings, ranging from informal, spontaneously drawn works to the more formal color washed drawings. The subjects, culled mainly from Stark’s daily life as well as his domestic and international travel, vary widely: New York City scenes; a busy river community in Bangkok; the canals of Venice; villages of Barbados, and hospital scenes. Note that b.1/f.8 includes one item from 1971 that is glued to a page with other 1950s-era drawings. Also note that b.1/f.14, “First sale (to Edgar Bergen),” includes a clipping of Edgar Bergman and a photocopy of the check written to Stark for the sale of the picture he purchased. Two sketches (…de San Juan 1954, and Sunday at the Metropolitan Museum, 1976) plus the art exhibit layout for a show at the National Arts Club are in oversize box 4
