The Julia P. Herzberg, Ph.D. collection contains artist portfolios, clippings, and visual arts files.
The collection also contains an interview between Julia P. Herzberg and Helena (Holzer) Benitez, former wife of artist Wifredo Lam from 1944 to 1950. The interview took place on February 7, 1990, at 1125 Park Avenue, New York, NY, then home of Julia P. Herzberg. The discussion centers on Helena's memories of Wifredo’s paintings, his practice, their cultural life in Havana, the artist’s family, his relationship with Lydia Cabrera, and his relationship to Afro-Cubanism.
The Orichas Collection consists of the series of drawings by Cuban-born artist Alberto del Pozo (1946-1992) of the deities of Afro-Cuban Santería. The Collection includes 17 original illustrations in pen, crayon, and ink on paper; signed and unsigned lithographs of these drawings; and catalogs and notecards of the Orichas series. Lithographs, catalogs, and notecards are available for purchase.
The papers document activities of Sina Sutter as a scenic artist, miniaturist, product designer, gallery owner, and fine artist. The materials include reproductions of her works, Sutter's Curriculum Vitae, programs, pamphlets, and exhibition catalog.
