Place:

Paris (France)
Beijing (China)
France -- Ile-de-France -- Paris
Date:
undated
Scope and Contents:
Fifty two photographic prints relating to the Asian art dealer C.T. Loo. Photographs feature interior and exterior views of Loo's Paris gallery, showing important works of art, many of which were later acquired by museums and private collections of Europe and the US. Also included are formal portraits and informal snapshots of Loo, his family and associates in Paris and Beijing.
北京
Arrangement:
Photographs are numbered individually with no attempt to organize by subject.
Biographical / Historical:
The photographs document the gallery, C.T. Loo et Cie, known as the Pagoda (renovated 1926-1928, currently a designated historical site in Paris) of the leading internateal dealer of Chinese art C.T. Loo (1880-1957). Well known to art experts around the world, the gallery attracted the attention of the renowned art historian Osvald Siren, who wrote an article in 1928 on this gallery, focusing on the murals. Many of the objects shown in the gallery can be identified as important pieces in major American and European museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Nelson-Atkins Gallery, Kansas City, and the Musee Guimet, Paris. Loo was instrumental in introducing some of the most important bronzes, jades, and stone sculptures to the Freer Gallery of Art between 1915 and 1951. This collection holds an added significance because it comes from Janine Loo Pierre-Emmanuel (1920-2013), daughter of C. T. Loo, and ex-wife of Jean-Pierre Dubosc, the prominent Sinologist, collector and dealer of Chinese art. Mme. Pierre-Emmanuel, a well-known dealer in the post-war era, was in contact with important scholars, collectors and dealers, such as Pierre Teillard de Chardin, Laurence Sickman, Grenville L. Winthrop, Arthur M. Sackler, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, 3rd, and J. T. Tai. In addition to Chinese art, the gallery interior views show pieces from South and Southeast Asia

Place:

Date:
1979-1999, undated
Summary:
Collection documents, at the grass roots level, the "third wave" of the feminist movement in the early 1990s. It consists primarily of materials created by feminist activists and zines from Ocho y Media, a women's collective and discussion group based in San Diego, California.
Scope and Contents:
The collection includes a wide variety of materials, including zines (published and unpublished), flyers and advertisements, articles, mailers, booklets, photographs, stickers, original art and sketches, a diary, a self-abortion care guide, two scrapbooks with photographs and other materials, and other ephemera. Specifically, the collection includes copies of Ocho y Media's zines and other materials relating to events and actions the group organized, such as open houses and a domestic violence awareness event with The Clothesline Project. Other zines in this collection have content on sexual and reproductive health, domestic violence, third wave feminism, queerness, labor rights and unions, race and racism, romantic relationships, punk and other music subcultures, and other related topics.

Karen Craig, Leilani Clark, Britton Neubacher, Eve Novak, and Torie Quiñones, all members of Ocho y Media, donated the materials to the collection. Donors included personal collections of zines that cover subjects including sexual and reproductive health, labor rights, violence against women, queerness, body image, romantic relationships, personal feelings on third wave feminism, punk music, and more. The collection is useful to researchers interested in third wave feminist groups/collectives, riot grrrl, feminist punk, student organizing, and similar subjects. It is arranged in five series in alphabetical order by the creator or donor of each group of material. Materials date from 1979 to 1999, with the bulk of material dating from the 1990s.
Arrangement:
Collection is arranged into five series.

Series 1: Leilani Clark, undated

Series 2: Karen Craig, 1993-1996, undated

Series 3: Britton Neubacher, 1979-1999, undated

Series 4: Eve Novak, 1993-1998, undated

Series 5: Torie Quinonez, 1990s
Biographical / Historical:
Ocho y Media was a third wave feminist "women's discussion circle and action group" based in San Diego, California in the mid-1990s. The collective met on Mondays at 8:30 pm, the inspiration for their name, which means eight thirty in Spanish, and planned several feminist events in and around San Diego. They held events at the Ché Café, a cooperative café and event/community space on the University of San Diego California campus (still operating as of 2023). These events included domestic violence awareness projects. The group also published at least two volumes of a zine, Ocho y Media.

Zines, a shortened form of Fanzines, derived from magazines, are short, lower end publications often with political or social messages. They often contain poetry, narrative writing, personal statements, missions and manifestos, collaged art, or community knowledge. Zine culture expanded in the late 1980s and early 1990s during the underground feminist punk riot grrrl movement. Typically costing between one and five US dollars, these small, low budget publications helped create solidarity across social and political movements and offered creators emotional and artistic outlets.

This collection is related to the riot grrrl movement, a punk feminist underground music scene that championed women's independence and power. Started in 1991 with the establishment of bands like Bikini Kill and Team Dresch, the riot grrrl movement encouraged women to start music groups, organize and support each other, and fight for feminist causes. Although it was originally a West coast-based movement, riot grrrl spread in part through the production of zines and the interconnectedness of the groups (like Ocho y Media) that created them.

Provenance:
Schools is a portion of the Business Ephemera Series of the Warshaw Collection of Business Americana, Accession AC0060 purchased from Isadore Warshaw in 1967. Warshaw continued to accumulate similar material until his death, which was donated in 1971 by his widow, Augusta. For a period after acquisition, related materials from other sources (of mixed provenance) were added to the collection so there may be content produced or published after Warshaw's death in 1969. This practice has since ceased.
