1976 Pictures Sales Envelope, circa 1976

This collection contains Willey’s sales records, including records of sales from Jack Kamas’ gallery and bank deposit statements and receipts, between 1969-1979. These meticulous records contain lists of painting titles and numbers, the name of the customers, and the prices of sale. Biographical information about Willey can be found in the Times Picayune newspaper spread. Additional items in the collection, such as empty envelopes and a list of auction houses, have less apparent context. This collection would be a useful resource for those interested in the pricing of self-taught art in the mid-twentieth century and/or self-taught artists’ sales records.
