Carolee Schneemann Foundation

New Paltz, NY

Carolee Schneemann sits in a wood armchair with one knee crossed over the other as she writes in a notebook, which appears to be long and narrow, like a reporter might use. She is mostly in shadow as sun falls through an open window onto a typewriter and other office supplies, and what might be edge of a cat loafing on the artist’s desk. — Carolee Schneemann writing in diary: Stanford University Libraries holds the digitized collection of Schneemann’s diaries alongside the acquisition of additional archival materials preserved by the Schneemann Foundation, building upon the original acquisition of the Carolee Schneemann Papers from the artist in 2012.

The Carolee Schneemann Foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of Carolee Schneemann (1939–2019). Established by the artist in 2013, the Foundation advances the understanding of Schneemann’s work through scholarship, exhibitions, and publications. The Foundation is also creating a residency program at Schneemann’s home in upstate New York to support artists whose work shares Schneemann’s commitment to aesthetic experimentation.

Black-and-white photograph of David Smith resting one hand on the crossbeam of a sculpture a full two heads taller than he is. He dips his chin and looks at the piece from under his eyebrows. The work is made up of disks, sections of arcs, and a cup-shaped form spaced along vertical support.
