Archives Scrapbooks

This image shows a beige or light brown archival folder or mat board, likely used for preserving clippings or documentation. Affixed to the folder are two black-and-white newspaper clippings from the Harvard Univ. Gazette, dated October 1974.

Top-left clipping (dated October 11, 1974):

• Features a grainy, abstract photograph or photogram.
• The caption identifies it as:
  “Untitled from Rites of Passage (1974) by Paul Kohl — on view at the Fogg through October 16 in ‘Photography Unlimited.’ Other artists include Jerry Thompson, Roger Martin, and Leslie Polak.”
• This appears to be documentation of a contemporary photography exhibition.

Bottom-right clipping (also dated October 11, 1974):

• Shows a photograph of a person — likely a woman with long hair — kneeling or crouching beside a large, abstract bronze sculpture.
• The sculpture is described in the caption as:
  “Henry Moore’s Figure-Upright Motive #8.”
• The article’s text explains:
  “Things are looking brighter in front of Lehman Hall these days, thanks to Barbara Knoll and Evi Holsberg — both apprentice conservators at the Fogg Museum. They are shown here cleaning and waxing a bronze treasure from the Fogg Collection, which nearly everyone knows on sight but not by name. Next time you conduct your own private tour of the Yard, you can impress your guests by identifying the enigmatic sculpture as none other than Henry Moore’s Figure-Upright Motive #8.”
• This clipping documents conservation work performed on a public sculpture on the Harvard campus.

Additional details:

• A small, separate white paper slip is pasted above the bottom clipping, bearing the handwritten number: “1959.42” — likely an accession, inventory, or archival number.
• Two small circular punch holes are visible on the right edge of the folder, likely for filing.

Summary:
This archival page documents two separate events at Harvard’s Fogg Museum in October 1974: an exhibition of contemporary photography ("Photography Unlimited") featuring Paul Kohl, and conservation work on a well-known Henry Moore sculpture by two apprentice conservators. The items are preserved for historical or institutional record-keeping purposes.

The image appears to be a collage of news clippings and photographs, dated October 11, 1974, from the Harvard University Gazette. The collage is composed of two main sections:

1. Left Section (Top and Center):

   • There is a photograph, seemingly a close-up of a textured surface, possibly a fabric or a wall. The text below the photograph mentions an exhibit titled "Rites of Passage (1974)" by Paul Kohl, which was on view at the Fogg Museum through October 16, 1974. It also lists other artists involved in the exhibit, including Jerry Thompson, Roger Martin, and Leslie Poliak.

2. Right Section (Bottom):

   • This photograph shows two individuals in front of a large sculpture. The text below the photo mentions that things in front of Lehman Hall are looking brighter, thanks to Barbara Kroll and Evi Holmberg, who are apprenticing conservators at the Fogg Museum. They are shown cleaning and waxing a bronze sculpture from the Fogg Collection, specifically identifying it as Henry Moore's "Figure-Upright Motive #8."

The overall theme seems to relate to art and cultural events at Harvard University, highlighting exhibitions and conservation efforts.

The image appears to be a page from a scrapbook or collection, featuring two separate black-and-white images from the Harvard University Gazette dated October 11, 1974.

The top left image is titled "Untitled from Rites of Passage (1974)" by Paul Kohl. It is described as being on view at the Fogg through October 16 in "Photography Unlimited." The image itself is abstract, with various shapes and patterns that could be interpreted as floral or organic forms. The description mentions other artists involved in the exhibition: Jerry Thompson, Roger Martin, and Leslie Poliak.

The bottom right image shows a person cleaning and waxing a large bronze sculpture in front of Lehman Hall. The sculpture is identified as Henry Moore's "Figure-Upright Motive #8." The caption explains that the area is looking brighter thanks to the work of Barbara Kroll and Evi Holmberg, who are apprentice conservators at the Fogg Museum. The caption also suggests that people can impress their guests by identifying the sculpture during their own private tours of the Yard.

The page is slightly worn and has a few small holes, indicating it has been handled over time. There is also a piece of paper with the number "1959.42" on it, possibly a catalog or reference number.

The image depicts a collage of photographs and text on a piece of paper that is attached to a cardboard sheet. The photographs are in black and white and appear to be from the 1970s. There are three photographs in total, each with a different subject. The first photograph shows a group of people, the second shows a building, and the third shows a person. The text on the paper provides information about the photographs, including the date and location where they were taken.

This image shows a collage of three images. The first image is a photo of a foggy view of Lehman Hall. The second image is a photo of a building with a person standing in front of it. The third image is a photo of a person standing in front of a building. The collage is attached to a brown paper folder with a hole in the middle.

The image shows a two-page document or folder containing two distinct photographs, each accompanied by descriptive text.

Left Page:

• Photograph: The left page features a black-and-white photograph with a textured, abstract appearance. The image is somewhat blurred and lacks clear, identifiable subjects. It appears to depict a scene with indistinct shapes and patterns, possibly architectural or natural elements, but the details are not discernible.
• Caption: Below the photograph, there is a caption that reads:
  "Untitled from Rites of Passage (1974) by Paul Kohl-on view at the Fogg through October 16 in 'Photography Unlimited.' Other artists include Jerry Thompson, Roger Martin, and Leslie Poisk."
  This indicates that the photograph is part of an exhibition titled Rites of Passage by Paul Kohl, displayed at the Fogg Museum until October 16, 1974, as part of the "Photography Unlimited" exhibition. The caption also mentions other artists featured in the exhibition.

Right Page:

• Photograph: The right page displays another black-and-white photograph that shows a clearer scene. It depicts the exterior of Lehman Hall, with a focus on a sculpture in front of the building. The sculpture appears to be a modern, abstract piece, and there are people visible in the foreground, seemingly engaged in an activity such as cleaning or maintenance.
• Caption: Below the photograph, there is a caption that reads:
  "Things are looking brighter in front of Lehman Hall these days, thanks to Barbara Kroll and Ev Horberg—both apprentice conservators at the Fogg Museum. They are shown cleaning a bronze treasure from the Fogg Collection, which nearly everyone knows on sight but not by name. Next time you conduct your own private tour of the Yard, you can impress your guests by identifying the enigmatic sculpture as some other than Henry Moore's Figure-Dirigible Motif #5."
  This caption provides context about the scene, explaining that Barbara Kroll and Ev Horberg, apprentice conservators at the Fogg Museum, are cleaning a bronze sculpture in front of Lehman Hall. The caption humorously suggests that viewers can impress others by identifying the sculpture as something other than Henry Moore's Figure-Dirigible Motif #5.

Additional Details:

• Header Information: At the top of each page, there is a header indicating the source:
  • Left Page: "Harvard Univ. Gazette, October 11, 1974"
  • Right Page: "1959.42 Harvard Univ. Gazette October 11, 1974"
    This suggests that both images are from the Harvard University Gazette, dated October 11, 1974.
• Layout: The pages are mounted on a brown cardboard backing, likely for archival or display purposes. There are visible staples or binding holes on the right side of the folder.

Overall Description:

The image presents two photographs from the Harvard University Gazette dated October 11, 1974. The left photograph is an abstract, untitled work from Paul Kohl's Rites of Passage exhibition at the Fogg Museum, while the right photograph captures a scene in front of Lehman Hall, showing conservators at work on a bronze sculpture. The captions provide context for both images, linking them to specific events or exhibitions at the time.

This image shows a brown cardboard or paper background with two black-and-white newspaper clippings affixed to its surface. The clippings include text and faintly visible images. At the top of the clippings, there are headers with text referencing "Harvard Univ. Gazette" and dates like October 11, 1974. The images within the clippings appear faint and unclear, one featuring abstract or textured patterns and the other containing a faintly visible outdoor scene with figures and a building in the background. There is writing, including "1959.42," written on the second clipping.

The layout suggests these clippings might be part of an archival or scrapbook collection. The top right corner of the cardboard features a hole, possibly for storage or binding.

You're looking at an image of a collection of papers mounted on a cardboard backing. On the left side, there's a larger page featuring a faded or washed-out print, with the text "Harvard Univ. Gazette, October 11, 1974" at the top, indicating it's from the Harvard University Gazette. Below the title, you can read "Untitled from 'Rites of Passage' (1974) by Paul Keene—on view at the Fogg through October 16 in 'Photography Unlimited.'" Other artists listed include Jerry Thompson, Roger Martin, and Leslie Pollak.

On the right side of the cardboard, there's a smaller piece of paper with distinct handwriting, which reads "1959.94.42." Just below it, there's a clipping or a printout of an image showing part of a building, with some text underneath. It seems to be another page from the Harvard University Gazette from the same date, containing a caption. Though the full text isn't entirely legible, it mentions that things are looking bright in front of Loeb Drama Center at Harvard, with a reference to Rohan Kahl and Ed Welling's possible contribution to the lighting. It suggests that the reader could improve their tour by identifying the sculptural subject as someone other than Henry Moore's "Figure (Gorilla)."

The papers appear quite old and show signs of age with spots and discoloration. There's also a metal fastener at the top of the mounting cardboard.

The image shows a scrapbook or album page with two black-and-white newspaper clippings attached to a brown sheet of paper with two punched holes on the right edge. The clippings appear to be from the "Harvard Univ. Gazette" dated October 11, 1974.

The clipping on the upper left has a faint, abstract pattern or artwork titled "Untitled from Rites of Passage (1974)" by Paul Kohi, with some text mentioning an exhibition at the Fogg Museum running through October 16. It also lists other artists including Jerry Thompson, Roger Martin, and Leslie Poliak.

The clipping on the lower right features a photo of two people cleaning or waxing a large outdoor bronze sculpture located in front of a building. The accompanying text notes that the sculpture is nearly everyone’s treasure from the Fogg Collection and identifies the work as Henry Moore's "Figure-Upright Motive #8." The people in the photo are named Barbara Kroil and Evi Holmberg, described as apprentice conservators at the Fogg Museum. There is some handwriting on the clipping that says "1959.42."

This is a vintage archival page: a brown kraft sheet with two small black-and-white newspaper clippings pasted onto it.

• Left clipping: a large image with a rocky, textured/abstract look; there’s a caption line at the bottom (appears to reference an art piece or exhibit).
• Right clipping: a smaller image showing people near a building, with a header that reads “Harvard Univ. Gazette, October 11, 1974” and a handwritten number (1959.42) on a white slip.

The sheet has two punched holes along the right edge, suggesting it came from a binder. Overall, it looks like a collage or scrapbook page from the 1970s.
