Scope and Contents note:
Client Files contains correspondence, notes, photographic materials, photocopied client information cards, and printed materials related to particular artists of interest to clients. The files found here are primarily from the early 1990s; as such, this is not a comprehensive file of the Richard York Gallery clients. This series is sometimes referred to as "Paintings Files - VIPs" in the records; researchers should consult this series in conjunction with Artists' Artwork Files. A price code is occasionally used throughout this series to mask the price of a work of art. The processing archivist found reference to the code in Box 64, Folder 77 and Box 67, Folder 9. The code uses the word "Artichoke" to substitute for numbers; A=1, R=2, T=3, I=4, etc. "X"=0.
Arrangement note:
Folders are labeled according to the gallery's filing system upon accession; first by artist's last name, then by client name. Folders are arranged alphabetically by artist's last name.
