SERIES VIII. A Exhibition Catalogs Listing Berman Art Works

The Bermans collected art, gave art away, and also lent works of art for exhibition. Series VIII. A is an extremely valuable file of exhibition catalogs which list works of art lent by the Bermans. Most of the catalogs included here represent exhibitions which in fact consisted entirely of works belonging to the Bermans. Some of the catalogs were compiled by Muriel Berman herself.

Information supplementing most of the catalogs will be found in other Series, especially Series I.F (Art Correspondence).
