Arrangement of the Papers

Scope and Contents of the Records

Alexis Goodin, a 1998 graduate of the Williams Graduate Program in the History of Art, worked as an assistant curator at the Clark after her graduation. These records span the years 1998 through 2001 and are primarily copies of documents containing information generated by the Curatorial department concerning loans, acquisitions, conservation, and exhibition planning. Goodin most notably worked on the 2000 exhibition, "A Fresh and Large Assortment," which showcased Henry Morris and Elizabeth H. Morris's silver collection.

History of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute

In 1950 Sterling and Francine Clark chartered the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute as a home for their extensive art collection. Opened to public in 1955, the Institute has built upon this extraordinary group of works to become one of the most beloved and respected art museums in the world, known for its intimate galleries and stunning natural environment. One of the few institutions in the United States that combines a public art museum with a complement of research and academic programs, including a major art history library, the Clark is now a leading international center for research and discussion on the nature of art and art history. Building upon the founders' legacy, the Institute has recently unveiled its master plan for the twenty-first century, which fosters the Clark's commitment to providing space for its expanding research and museum programs while maintaining the unique character of its beautiful rural setting.
