I joined the foundation full time in September 2015 and got busy cataloging prints and paintings. dealer, Howard Greenberg Gallery, offering a head start, Margit and the team used Artsystems relational database software for data entry, plus an Epson scanner for imaging smaller works and a copy-stand-and-camera setup for the works that wouldn’t fit on the scanner. With existing inventory records from Saul’s U.S.
Hundreds of bankers boxes were needed to house archival material such as personal documents and correspondence, rolls of undeveloped film, and thousands of negatives and slides.įirst, the foundation focused on cataloging the prints made during Saul’s lifetime, along with his paintings (a few oils on canvas but mostly watercolors on paper). Over a period of several months, his belongings from both spaces were reorganized and secured-prints here, paintings and sketchbooks there books in these boxes, old toys and other ephemera in those.
In addition to the apartment he lived in, Saul had a second unit in the same building that late in his life had been increasingly devoted to storage, to the point of uninhabitability.
