Dear colleagues with artist's/designer's files (esp. those of you in NYC),
Would you please check your files for information about Edward H.
Ascherman (or Aschermann) and Glady G. Ascherman (or Aschermann)
and/or Ascherman (Aschermann) Studios? This interior design firm was
active in NYC in the 1900's-1920's at least. I have found
reproductions of their work in two books, mention in a third, and one
article, as well as co-authorship of a text. (I found both versions
of the last name's spelling.) I am trying to locate anything else I
can about this practice and these designers. Does anyone know of an
obit.? (This is a query for one of my profs. I've sent his TA over
to the NY Times index, and checked all the other sources avail. to
me, but do not have access to the standard microfiche collections of
artists' files, etc.)
Thanks so much for any assistance you might be able to provide.
Best wishes and happy fourth!
Janine Henri
