At the Museum of Modern Art Library we are working on a project to document the institutions containing archives and research material on New York Latino visual artists. By the summer we expect to launch a website with an overview of each archival collection we have surveyed in order to make this material more accessible to the public.Some places that you might want to visit for your independent study are the Center for Puerto Rican Studies located at Hunter College, which has great material on Nuyorican and Puerto Rican artists, and the Bronx Museum, whose archives focus on artists of Latin American, Asian, and African descent in the United States. At MoMa we also have artist file material as well as catalogues and books on many Latin American and Latino artists. Some of the bigger names in our collection of Latino artists files include Juan Sanchez, Pepón Osorio, Enrique Chagoya, Gronk, Judith Baca, and Yolanda López.For more information on our approx. 15,000 Latin American, Latino and Caribbean books and catalogues you can consult our Latin American Online bibliography atTo search for artist files please consult our Dadabase at http://library.moma.org/If you have any further questions you can email me at [log in to unmask]Best,Taína B.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Artists Book Collection:- Underrepresented Artists - A Request
Good day all. I am a current doctoral student with the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Library and Information Studies. I am performing an independent study project with the Kohler Art Library (UW-Madison) that concerns the development of their artists book collection in terms of underrepresented artists (i.e. African American, Asian American, Latino/a, and Native Americans, etc.). I would like to request your assistance in identifying recommended names and/or specific artist books by underrepresented artists, as well as resources on the topic. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please send responses directly to me at [log in to unmask]. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
