HIRSHHORN MUSEUM AND SCULPTURE GARDEN SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION September 20, 1977 Jacob Lawrence 4316 37th Avenue N. E. Seattle, Washington 98105 Dear Mr. Lawrence: As a public museum in the nation's capital, we are in the process of creating an archive of our permanent collection. Although we realize that our asking you to fill out the enclosed forms is an imposition on your time, we are motivated by a desire to have as accurate and complete a record of your work and biography as possible. Such information is particularly important since your work is available for viewing by students, scholars, and an interested public whether through our exhibitions program, our loans to other institutions, or our vast open study storage area. We would deeply appreciate your cooperation in enriching our curatorial records. With kind regards, Sincerely, AL Abram Lerner Director Greetings!
