Archival materials
Note:

These exhibition records consist of photographs of thirty portraits shown in the exhibition. The portraits span Christian Gu!lager's career from 1782 to about 1808. There are also correspondence, memoranda, exhibition scripts, captioned labels, biographical profiles of the subjects painted by Christian Gullager, loan agreements and news releases. Marvin Sadik was curator of this exhibition.
