ARTS COMMISSION EDSEL B. FORD, PRESIDENT ALBERT KAHN ROBERT H. TANNAHILL EDGAR B. WHITCOMB COMMISSIONERS THE DETROIT INSTITUTE OF ARTS OF THE CITY OF DETROIT W. R. VALENTINER DIRECTOR EDGAR P. RICHARDSON ASSISTANT DIRECTOR CLYDE H. BURROUGHS SECRETARY DECEMBER 14,1937 Mr. Germain Seligmann Jacques Seligmann Galleries 3 E 51 Street New York City My dear Mr. Seligmann: In January, 1938, the first issue of THE ART QUARTERLY, a new magazine published by the Detroit Institute of Arts, will appear. THE ART QUARTERLY will be edited by Dr. Valentiner and Mr. Richardson, and will be devoted to the scholarship of art. Its aim is to fill the need for an American publication addressed to the connoisseur, the collector and the student of art. It will offer amedium for the authorative discussion of the arts, principally from the point of view of art in America and of American scholarship, but including European contributors also. Contributions are promised from leading American and European scholars. The value of such a publication needs no explanation, I am sure, to all who are interested in the future of art scholarship and connoisseurship in America. The price of the magazine will be one dollar per copy, four dollars per year. At Dr. Valentiner's suggestion I am writing to invite you to take advertising space in THE ART QUARTERLY. In order to set the highest possible standards of dignity and simplicity in our advertising section, we are inviting only unillustrated advertisements in two sizes - a half page at two hundred dollars per year (four numbers) and a quarter page at one hundred dollars (four numbers). I hope that you will be interested in a half page advertisement for the coming year. Sincerely yours, John Morse John D. Morse Managing Editor THE ART QUARTERLY JDM:MSB
