correspondence

Joseph Hirshhorn mingled and corresponded with numerous artists and dealers while amassing his art collection. Included in the Joseph H. Hirshhorn Papers are letters and images documenting his relationship with Georgia O'Keeffe. Other frequent correspondents are Hirshhorn's wife, Olga, and O'Keeffe's longtime assistant/curator/dealer, Doris Bry. The correspondence documents a mostly friendly (but sometimes contentious) relationship between O'Keeffe and Hirshhorn.
