Following is an outline of the arrangement of the collection by series and corresponding box numbers and extent. More detailed information for each series and subseries, along with a box and folder inventory, is found in the Series Descriptions/Container Listings, which can be found by following the series links below. Glass plate negatives are housed separately and closed to researchers.
Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., was counted among the foremost French and American art dealers in antiquities and decorative arts and was among the first to foster and support the growth and appreciation for collecting in the field of contemporary European art. The company's clients included most of the major American and European art collectors of the era, and the art that passed through its galleries often ended up in the collections of prominent American and European museums through the donations of the wealthy benefactors who purchased them from the company. Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., took an active part in promoting such donations as well as providing its own donations and selling paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts directly to many museums.
The company was first established as Jacques Seligmann & Cie. in 1880 on the Rue des Mathurins in Paris by Jacques Seligmann (1858-1923), a German émigré who came to France in 1874 and soon thereafter became a French citizen. The company experienced so much success that in 1900 a new, larger Galerie Seligmann was opened on the Place Vendôme, and Jacques's two brothers, Simon and Arnold, joined the business as partners. Simon served as the company's accountant, and Arnold was in charge of correspondence with the firm's many clients. Jacques remained as the manager and was in charge of all purchases for the firm.
Prominent clients of the company included Baron Edmond de Rothschild of France, the Stroganoff family of Russia, Sir Philip Sassoon of England, and American collectors Benjamin Altman, William Randolph Hearst, J. P. Morgan, Henry Walters, and Joseph Widener. As American clients increasingly came to dominate the company's sales activities, a New York office at 7 West Thirty-sixth Street was opened in 1904. Five years later, Jacques purchased the Hôtel de Sagan (also called the Palais de Sagan by the Seligmann family) in Paris as a location where Jacques Seligmann & Cie. could stage larger exhibitions and receive its most distinguished clients.
In 1912 a family quarrel resulted in a lawsuit that split the company. Arnold remained at the Place Vendôme location, reorganized under the name Arnold Seligmann & Cie., while Jacques consolidated his operations and moved the headquarters for Jacques Seligmann & Cie. to the Hôtel de Sagan. Jacques also opened an additional gallery at 17 Place Vendôme to retain a presence near the company's original location, but this branch soon relocated to 9 Rue de la Paix. The New York office, which formerly had operated out of a single room, was upgraded to larger office space and a gallery at 705 Fifth Avenue.
Jacques's son, Germain Seligman (1893-1978), showed an interest in art connoisseurship from his early years and often accompanied his father to work in the galleries. (In 1943, when Germain Seligman became an American citizen, he dropped the second "n" from his surname, and for clarity his name appears with this spelling throughout this finding aid.) His father taught him how to deal with clients and often assigned him tasks to help in the completion of sales. Germain accompanied Jacques on many business trips and in 1910 was sent to St. Peterburg, Russia, to secure information about the selling price of the Swenigorodskoi enamels owned by the Russian collector M. P. Botkine.
Germain continued to work informally in the firm's galleries until the outbreak of World War I. Within hours of the mobilization order in 1914, Germain joined the French army as a second lieutenant in the 132nd Infantry Regiment of Rheims. By 1916 he was promoted to first lieutenant in the Twenty-fourth Infantry Brigade and in the following year achieved the rank of captain in the Fifty-sixth Infantry Division. Also in the same year, he was assigned as the first French liaison officer to the First Division of the American Expeditionary Force in France, serving as translator for Major George C. Marshall. Seligman was discharged from the French army in 1919 and was awarded the French Croix de Guerre with six citations. (In 1938 Seligman also was awarded the Office of the Legion of Honor from France, and in 1939 he was decorated by General John Joseph Pershing with the Distinguished Service Medal of the United States, in recognition for his service during World War I.)
After his discharge from military service, Germain Seligman actively joined his father's company as a partner in 1920. Jacques Seligmann & Cie. was changed to Jacques Seligmann et Fils, and Germain was placed in charge as the president of the New York office. The strong American art market necessitated Germain's making numerous cross-Atlantic trips each year. Upon the death of his father in 1923, Germain took over as president of both the Paris and New York offices, and the company was once again renamed Jacques Seligmann & Cie.
In the early years of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., the firm carried few paintings, as collectors focused their interest mostly on small objects, enamels, ivories, and other decorative pieces from the Byzantine to the Renaissance eras. Stone and bronze sculptures, medieval and Renaissance tapestries, and eighteenth-century French furniture were the most avidly collected pieces of the era. The galleries of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., reflected its clients' tastes, but soon after the turn of the century art trends began to change.
The 1913 Armory Show introduced many Americans to contemporary European art, and collectors in the United States began to show marked interest in it. The advent of World War I brought much of the art market to a standstill in Europe, but interest in the Impressionists continued in the United States, and it quickly resumed in Europe, as well, after the war. Both collectors and dealers began buying modern art, led by such progressive American collectors as Walter Arensberg, Albert C. Barnes, A. E. Gallatin, Mrs. Horace O. Havemeyer, Mrs. Potter Palmer, Duncan Phillips, and John Quinn, among others.
Under Germain's leadership, Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., began acquiring works by Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, Honoré Daumier, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, Henri Rousseau, and Vincent van Gogh. While Germain promoted this trend for modern art in the New York gallery, other family partners did not approve as this was a new direction for the firm. For this reason Germain Seligman looked to establish a new, independent business venture in the evolving field of modern art. He selected as his partner César Mange de Hauke.
César Mange de Hauke was born on March 8, 1900, the son of a French engineer and a Polish mother. After completing academic and art studies in England and France in the years following World War I, de Hauke arrived in the United States in 1926. While in New York City, he was introduced to Germain Seligman by Germain's cousin, René Seligmann, and by 1927 de Hauke had joined Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., as a sales representative.
With their shared interest in modern French painting, Seligman and de Hauke decided to explore the feasibility of sales in this area by forming a subsidiary to Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., that would specialize in contemporary European artists. In 1926 Seligman personally financed the fledgling company, first called International Contemporary Art Company, Inc., and he appointed de Hauke its director, but even before the legal documents setting up the company were completed the name was changed to de Hauke & Co., Inc. Although the bulk of the new company's art purchases took place in Paris and London, the majority of its sales occurred in the United States.
Seligman and de Hauke worked out an agreement allowing de Hauke to purchase works of art that could then be sold as stock inventory of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., or privately under de Hauke's own name. Ownership of paintings was often shared among various art dealers, involving complicated commission transactions upon completion of sale. Seligman provided display space for de Hauke & Co., Inc., at the new, larger gallery of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., now located at 3 East Fifty-first Street. The two businesses were deeply intertwined, as evidenced by the facts that Seligman's financial records include a great deal of de Hauke material and many of de Hauke's records are written on the stationery of Jacques Seligmann Co., Inc.
During the second half of the 1920s, de Hauke showed the work of modern French School artists in New York City. He exhibited works by Pierre Bonnard, Amedeo Modigliani, Odilon Redon, Ker-Xavier Roussel, Edouard Vuillard, and many others. De Hauke was equally interested in French School drawings and watercolors, and the scope of his exhibitions also included works by nineteenth-century masters such as Paul Cézanne, Jacques-Louis David, Eugè00E8;ne Delacroix, Jean Ingres, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Georges Seurat.
Among the exhibitions held at the New York gallery were two highly successful shows featuring the works of Pablo Picasso. The first one, held in 1936, displayed paintings from the Blue and Rose Periods and was soon followed by the 1937 exhibition,
Despite the bleak economic conditions of the 1930s, the new business venture proved so successful that the other family members of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., withdrew their opposition to expanding into the field of modern art, and de Hauke & Co., Inc., was dissolved and re-formed under the new name, Modern Paintings, Inc. César M. de Hauke was appointed its director, but tensions had crept into the relationship between the former partners, and by 1931, de Hauke had resigned and returned to Paris.
The mid-1930s appear to have been a period of reorganization for the company. By 1934 Modern Paintings, Inc., was also dissolved, and it assets were assumed by Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., and by Tessa Corp., another subsidiary of the firm. In 1935, however, the firm established a new subsidiary, the Contemporary American Department, to represent young American artists. Theresa D. Parker, a longtime gallery employee, was selected to head the department, and she initiated an exhibition and loan program. Soon thereafter, the City of Paris offered to buy the company's building at the Hôtel de Sagan as part of a complicated negotiation for a site for the
During the New York World's Fair of 1939, Germain served as a member of the Exhibition Committee, which coordinated the art section. When the fair was extended for an additional year, Seligman was asked to take responsibility for planning the French art section. World political events intruded, however, and rumors of impending war affected both the European and American economies as well as the international art world. Speculative sales, particularly in Europe, made for a chaotic and unpredictable market. In June 1940 German forces invaded France and occupied Paris. Business for Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., took a dramatic downturn. In the summer of 1940 the Seligmann galleries and family holdings were seized by the Vichy government, along with Germain's private art collection. The family house and its contents, along with almost the entire stock of the Paris firm, was sold at public auction. Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., staff burned the Paris office archives in an effort to keep the records relating to works of art from falling into the hands of the Nazi occupiers, who were looting and shipping art to Germany.
Family members also experienced the pains and changes brought on by the war. Jean Seligmann, a cousin of Germain and the head of Arnold Seligmann & Cie., was captured and shot in Vincennes, France. François-Gerard, a half-brother, was drafted into the army and subsequently joined the French Resistance. Another brother, André, fled France in September 1940 and arrived in New York City, where he opened his own gallery. (He would later return to Paris after the war, but died shortly thereafter from a heart attack.)
Germain applied for a commission in the United States Army in 1942, but his application was initially turned down due to his noncitizen status. Soon thereafter, however, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the second War Power Act, which stipulated that naturalization could be expedited if the individual served in the military during the war. This act prompted Germain to further press his application for a post overseas, citing his citizenship status as fairly inconsequential or at least no longer a grave hindrance. Despite numerous letters exchanged with the War Department, however, his application was eventually rejected due to changes in military personnel policy.
During the war years, the Seligmann company in New York moved from its 3 East Fifty-first Street location to smaller quarters at 5 East Fifty-seventh Street. The first exhibition in this space was held in the spring of 1944. By 1945 the Contemporary American Department was reactivated, with Theresa D. Parker as its head.
In the years following the war, a rapprochement occurred among the family members who had been split since the family quarrel between Jacques and Arnold Seligmann. With the death of Jean Seligmann during the war, Arnold Seligmann & Co. had been left without a director. Germain consolidated the two family businesses, but made separate financial and administrative entities of the Paris and New York offices. Henceforth they were affiliated "only by ties of affection."
During the early to mid-1950s, many of the activities involving Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., centered upon the recovery of looted artwork and property as well as resolving outstanding issues from the consolidation of the various family businesses. The firm was also involved in the sale of several significant collections.
In 1951 Germain was commissioned by the family of the Duc d'Arenberg to sell the family's collection of important illuminated manuscripts, engravings, and select paintings. Jan Vermeer's
Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., also handled the 1953 sale of works from the Prince of Liechtenstein's collection and negotiated the purchase of seven Italian marble sculptures that were eventually sold to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation in 1954. From the late 1950s up until the closing of the company in 1977-1978, the exhibitions mounted by the firm seem to indicate a gradual focus back toward drawings and more traditional art. Contemporary American artists continued to be shown as well, but the firm no longer maintained its leading edge in the art market.
Germain, who during the 1940s had written several works, among them a monograph on Roger de La Fresnaye in 1945 and
With the death of Germain Seligman in 1978, the firm doors closed, leaving behind a legacy of collecting that helped to establish American collectors and museums in the forefront of the international art world. A survey of the major art museums and collections in the United States reveals the significant number of works that were acquired either by sales or through donation from Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. The influence the company wielded is also demonstrated through the network of relationships it built with collectors, art museums and institutions, and other dealers, such as Dr. Albert C. Barnes, Bernheim-Jeune, George Blumenthal, Sen. William A. Clark, the Detroit Institute of Arts, M. Knoedler & Co., Inc., the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art, Marjorie Merriweather Post, Henry Walters, and Wildenstein & Co., among others.

Jacques Seligmann & Co. records, 1904-1978, bulk 1913-1974. Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
The staff of the Archives of American Art partially processed the collection to a preliminary level in the late 1970s. The collection was fully processed and the finding aid created by a team of professional archivists and archives technicians, including Barbara D. Aikens, Stephanie L. Ashley, Wendy Bruton, Patricia K. Craig, and Rosa Fernandez, between 1998 and 2001, with funding from the Getty Foundation.
Series 1: Correspondence and Series 2: Collectors Files were digitized in 2010 with funding provided by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. The bulk of the remainder of the collection was digitized in 2010 with funding provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Glass plate negatives were re-housed in 2015 with a grant provided by the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., records measure approximately 203.1 linear feet and date from between 1904 and 1978, with bulk dates of 1913-1974. The records include extensive correspondence files, reference material on American and European collectors and their collections, inventory and stock records, financial records, exhibition files, auction files, and the records of subsidiary companies, including de Hauke & Co., Inc., and Modern Paintings, Inc.
Historians and researchers will find the collection an invaluable resource in tracing the provenance of particular works of art. Although in the early 1940s many records in the Paris office were destroyed by Seligmann staff to keep them from falling into the hands of the occupying German military forces, many records survive, as much of the firm's business had previously come to center in the New York office. In all, the remaining records provide a comprehensive view of the activities and transactions of collectors and art dealers in the years leading up to and following World War II.
Correspondence (Series 1) is the largest series of the collection (80 linear feet) and is comprised of extensive correspondence files, primarily between Germain Seligman and his New York office staff with domestic and foreign private clients, collectors, dealers, individuals representing public museums and collections, and international scholars. The New York Office Correspondence (Series 1.1) concerns a wide variety of topics, including routine business matters, but focuses primarily on potential and realized sales and purchases and provenance documentation. Also found is detailed information on financial transactions, commissions, stock inventory, and the travel of Germain Seligman and other staff. Paris Office Correspondence (Series 1.2) is separated into a small subseries and contains correspondence written primarily by Jacques Seligmann from Paris. The subseries General Correspondence (Series 1.3) is the largest subsection of the Correspondence series and contains letters written to and received from clients and other business associates concerning business transactions and inquiries. The subseries Museum Correspondence (Series 1.4) contains letters between the firm and art institutions and museums. The subseries Germain Seligman's Correspondence (Series 1.5), contains not only personal letters but a wealth of information concerning the affairs of the firm. Much personal correspondence was marked "private."
Also of note in the Correspondence series are the Legal Correspondence Files (Series 1.6) and the Inter-Office Correspondence (Series 1.9) and Inter-Office Memoranda (Series 1.13). The Legal Correspondence Files subseries houses correspondence with both U.S. and Paris attorneys and concerns legal affairs and specific lawsuits. Of particular interest are Germain Seligman's attempts to recover Seligmann family and Paris gallery artwork and other assets stolen or confiscated by the Germans in World War II. This small subseries also contains limited information on the stock and inventory holdings of several of the firm's and Germain Seligman's subsidiary corporations, family legal affairs and lawsuits, and other related legal matters. The subseries Inter-Office Correspondence and Inter-Office Memoranda (called
Also prominent is Collectors Files (Series 2), which contains numerous reference files documenting the collections of existing and potential clients with whom Seligmann & Co. maintained contacts. The files are arranged by either individual name or institution and reflect the wide scope of collector references maintained by the firm throughout its operating years. The files contain a variety of reference materials, such as photographs, provenance notes, and sales, purchase, and inventory information in cases where the collector purchased from the firm or the firm purchased from the collector. Researchers will find that many of the private and public names that appear in General Correspondence (Series 1.3) appear in the Collectors Files as well. Also found in this series are specific files relating to the Duc d'Arenberg Collection, the Clarence H. Mackay Collection, the Mortimer L. Schiff Collection, and the Prince of Liechtenstein Collection. The firm either handled substantial estate sales for these collections or purchased and sold important pieces from these collections.
Auction Files (Series 3) and Exhibition files (Series 4) trace the sales and exhibition activities undertaken by Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. In the Auction files, researchers will find documentation of auctions of individual works of art owned by the firm and handled by Christie's, Parke-Bernet, and other auction houses. Of particular interest is the 1948-1949 Parke-Bernet auction of the C. S. Wadsworth Trust, a "dummy" trust set up by the firm to dispose of a portion of its unsold inventory. The Exhibition Files house a variety of documentation, such as catalogs and correspondence, concerning the firm's active exhibition history. Many of the exhibitions featured works of art recently acquired by the firm, such as the 1937 exhibition,
Reference Files (Series 5) includes a card catalog to books and catalogs in the library maintained by Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., and a photograph reference index of works of art. Inventory and Stock Files (Series 6) tracks the firm's inventory through a series of stock books and supporting documentation that include sales and provenance information.
Financial Files and Shipping Records (Series 7) consists primarily of records of the New York office, but some Paris office documents can be found scattered throughout. Found in this series is a wide variety of financial records including purchase receipt files, credit notes, invoices, consignment invoices and books, invoices, consular invoices, sales and purchase account books, ledgers, and tax records. The records appear to be quite complete and date from 1910 to 1977. Of particular interest are the purchase receipts and credit notes and memoranda that contain detailed documentation on acquisitions and sales. The consignment invoices provide information about works of art sold on behalf of other galleries and dealers, as well as which galleries and dealers were handling works of art for Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. Although quite large and complex, the financial records offer a comprehensive overview of the firm's business and financial transactions.
The records of subsidiary companies that were part of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., such as Contemporary American Department, de Hauke & Co., Inc., Modern Paintings, Inc., and Gersel Corp. are arranged in their own series. In 1935, the firm established the Contemporary American Department to represent young American artists. Under the direction of Theresa D. Parker, a longtime gallery employee, the department initiated an exhibition and loan program. Contemporary American Department (Series 8) includes mostly correspondence files and exhibition files.
The largest subsidiary company to operate under Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., was de Hauke & Co., Inc. De Hauke & Co., Inc., Records (Series 9) dates from 1925 through 1949 and contains domestic and foreign correspondence with clients, collectors, and dealers; inter-office correspondence and memoranda with Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc.; administrative and legal files; and financial records. Modern Paintings, Inc., records (Series 10) contains the legal and financial files of this subsidiary company, which was established in 1930 to incorporate most of the stock of the liquidated de Hauke & Co., Inc. Gersel Corp. Records (Series 11) contains a small amount of material from this company.
Researchers should note that a scattering of records from most of the subsidiary companies may also be found throughout additional series, particularly Inventory and Stock Files (Series 6) and Financial Files and Shipping Records (Series 7). Records for the firms Tessa Corp. and Georges Haardt & Co., which were also owned by Germain Seligman, are not part of the Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., Records, although scattered references to these two firms may be encountered throughout the collection.
German Seligman's Personal papers (Series 12) includes scattered family and biographical materials, his research and writings files, and documentation of his personal art collection. Found in Family and Biographical Material (Series 12.1) are photographs of family members, including Jacques Seligmann, and of the Paris gallery. Also found is a limited amount of correspondence concerning Germain Seligman's residency status and his desire to obtain an army commission during World War II. Germain Seligman's research and writing files are found in this series and include material for his books:
Overall, the historical records of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., offer researchers a comprehensive and detailed resource for studying one of the most active dealers in decorative arts, Renaissance, and European contemporary art. The records clearly document the firm's numerous acquisitions and sales of important works of art to well-known European and American collectors and museums as well as Germain Seligman's extensive client contacts and references. The collection offers an insightful, intriguing, and often fascinating view into the complex field of art sales, trading, and acquisition during the first half of the twentieth century, when many major collections in the United States were formed.
Researchers interested in tracing the provenance of individual works of art should carefully check each series of the collection for information to obtain a complete history for any work. Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., staff set up many different files to cross-reference works of art from various angles, such as artist or creator; collector or collection; most recent owner or repository location; stock inventory number, if owned by Seligmann & Co.; and photographic reference files. The task is made somewhat more difficult by the number of commission sales and joint ownership of works of art, often documented solely in the Inventory and Stock Files (Series 6) or the Financial Files and Shipping Records (Series 7). Only by tracing a name or date through the various series can one find all of the information relating to a particular work of art and its provenance.
The largest in the collection, the Correspondence series includes the general correspondence of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., with individuals and museums; the personal business correspondence of Germain Seligman; legal correspondence and other documentation concerning specific and general legal affairs; abstracts of letters sent; a small group of outgoing correspondence; correspondence of staff and agents Theresa D. Parker, Clyfford Trevor, and Rolf Hans Waegen; and inter-office memoranda.
The entire history of the firm, especially the years when the New York office functioned as the primary headquarters of the company, is well documented in this extensive series. The bulk of the correspondence reflects the period when Germain Seligman directed the firm and the New York office, although there is a small series of Paris office and gallery correspondence written mostly by Jacques Seligmann. Researchers will find correspondence with both U.S. and European clients, collectors, museums, dealers, galleries, shippers, U.S. and foreign government agents, bankers, and insurance firms in the General Correspondence (Series 1.3) and Museum Correspondence (Series 1.4). For additional documentation of the firm's business affairs, researchers should also consult Germain Seligman's Correspondence (Series 1.5), which includes not only personal invitations and announcements but also business correspondence that he considered to be of a more private nature. Legal Correspondence Files (Series 1.6) is arranged in a separate subseries and houses several interesting files concerning general legal affairs, specific lawsuits, and attempts to recover Seligmann family and gallery artwork stolen in Paris during World War II. Also of notable interest is the subseries housing the Inter-Office Memoranda (Series 1.13), which includes notations made by Germain Seligman and staff about clients, collectors, possible sales and acquisitions, and many other business matters. The interesting commentary was clearly intended to be read by staff only.
The Correspondence series is organized into the following subseries. More detailed descriptions for each of the subseries follow, with a corresponding box and folder inventory. The bulk of this series has been scanned. Details of exceptions are provided in the arrangement notes for each subseries.
The letters are mostly written by Jacques Seligmann and Germain Seligman while in the New York office on frequent trips to the United States. Between 1920 and 1922, the firm was managed primarily by Jacques's colleague Eugene Glaenzer and nephew René Seligmann and depended on the Paris office for most of its inventory. When Germain Seligman completed his military service shortly after World War I, he became actively involved in the business affairs of the New York office and began to cultivate and increase the number of the firm's clients and collectors in the United States. Jacques Seligmann died in 1923, and Eugene Glaenzer a few months later, and in 1924 Germain became head of the company. Germain then began to dramatically increase the business of the New York office, thus marking the transition of the firm's headquarters from Paris to New York.
The subjects covered in the correspondence are diverse and primarily concern possible sales or purchases. Found are letters to clients, collectors, dealers, and business associates, most of them American. Many of the names appearing throughout the correspondence are also found in the Paris Office Correspondence (Series 1.2), General Correspondence (Series 1.3), and Museum Correspondence (Series 1.4) that follow.
The correspondence is generally arranged in alphabetical order, although some names may appear slightly out of order. Not all names found in the series are listed under the folder headings.

This small subseries contains letters mostly written by Jacques Selignmann from the Paris office to U.S. clients, collectors, and business associates. Although the earliest date reflected is 1914 and the latest is 1930, the bulk of the letters date from 1921 through 1924 and document the firm's business when the Paris office was its primary headquarters. Many of the same names that appear in the New York Office Correspondence (Series 1.1) and General Correspondence (Series 1.3) are found here as well. Most of the letters are to or from clients, collectors, and dealers concerning possible and realized sales and purchases.

The largest subseries within the Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., records, General Correspondence dates from circa 1913 through 1978 (bulk 1923-1978) and measures 33 linear feet. The general correspondence thoroughly documents the firm's business in its most active New York years when it was directed by Germain Seligman after his father's death in 1923. Although focusing primarily on the business of the New York office, throughout there is scattered correspondence of the Paris office staff, agents, and shippers, particularly René Seligmann, Georges Seligmann, and A. O. Liechti. Also included is the correspondence of Germain Seligman and the firm's employees, partners, and agents such as César de Hauke, Theresa D. Parker, Georges Seligmann, René Seligmann, Clyfford Trevor, and Rolf Hans Waegen. Researchers should note that additional correspondence of Theresa D. Parker is found in the series housing the files of Contemporary American Department (Series 8). Additional correspondence files for Clyfford Trevor (Series 1.10) and Rolf Hans Waegen (Series 1.11) are arranged in their own subseries as well. De Hauke & Co., Inc., Records (Series 9) is arranged in a separate series and also contains extensive correspondence with U.S. and European clients, collectors, dealers, and agents.
The General Correspondence covers a diverse range of the firm's business activities and focuses primarily on client contacts and potential and realized sales and purchases. Included are correspondence with regular and potential clients notifying them of acquisitions that may be of interest; correspondence with both American and European art collectors regarding complicated sales and purchase negotiations; correspondence with American and European agents, dealers, and galleries concerning possible acquisitions, commissions, and sales; correspondence with American and European shippers, insurance companies, and banking agents; and routine correspondence concerning travel plans, research requests, photograph and publication requests, letters of recommendation and introduction, exhibitions, and restoration and authentication of works of art.
The files are arranged alphabetically by name of correspondent and reflect the firm's original arrangement except in cases of obvious duplication or misfiling. Cross-references direct readers to alternate listings or additional references where appropriate. Almost all the names listed reflect correspondence, although a few indicate files with information or letters about that particular individual. The original arrangement was in reverse chronological order in three groups, each group representing a particular date range. For ease of researcher use, the groups were merged into one large alphabetical file, and, in most cases, individual folders were rearranged in chronological order; a few reverse-order folders remain. Each letter of the alphabet has a miscellaneous division housing the correspondence of any name for which there are fewer than five letters, with folders representing an alphabetical range within each letter of the alphabet. For many of the names appearing in the General Correspondence (Series 1.3), there are corresponding files in Collectors Files (Series 2) that provide information about the private collections of U.S. and European collectors.
The bulk of this series has been scanned with the exception of folders containing records relating to subjects such as employee personnel records, or routine and financial transactions unrelated to gallery business.

The Museum Correspondence is almost identical in content to the General Correspondence (Series 1.3). But rather than correspondence with individual and private clients, collectors, dealers, agents, and other associates, this series houses Jacques Seligmann & Co.'s correspondence files with art museums and public galleries. Of interest is correspondence regarding the firm's acquisitions, sales and purchase negotiations, overseas shipping arrangements, and provenance documentation and research.
Many of the museums and galleries listed below have corresponding files in Museum Files (Series 2.2), which provide information about the public collections of U.S. and European museums and art galleries.
Entries are filed alphabetically first by geographical location and subsequently by name of institution. Documents within folders are in reverse chronological order.

Numerous invitations and personal notes are scattered throughout the files.
The files are arranged in chronological order; material within folders is generally in reverse chronological order. Note that files are missing for the years 1958-1961 and 1963.

This subseries consists of correspondence and other material that focuses on the legal affairs of the firm. The bulk of the correspondence with the two law firms representing Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., reflect fairly routine legal matters, such as taxes, real estate, investments, corporate filings, license renewals, etc. The remaining files concern specific legal actions or issues, such as asset liquidations, lawsuits, and a partnership with Georges Seligmann. A particularly interesting subseries houses correspondence and other documents associated with the firm's attempts after World War II to recover the stolen artwork and assets of the Paris office and the Seligmann family.
This section of Subseries 1.6 includes correspondence with the New York law firms that represented the gallery in its legal affairs: Rose & Paskus; Benjamin, Galton, & Robbins; and Melvin C. Robbins. The files containing correspondence with the firm of Rose & Paskus, dating from 1924 through 1929, document fairly routine legal matters such as real estate transactions and leases, insurance, taxes, corporate filings, and debt collection. The correspondence with the U.S. law firm of Benjamin, Galton, & Robbins dates from 1938 through 1978 and also concerns routine legal affairs. In this set of correspondence files, however, researchers will also find revealing information about sales, consignments, family legal affairs, a partnership liquidation with Georges Seligmann, and the estate settlement of René Seligmann. The correspondence portrays a close legal and business relationship with Benjamin, Galton, & Robbins. Between 1963 and 1978, Melvin Robbins, formerly of Rose & Paskus, and Benjamin, Galton, & Robbins, handled certain affairs of the firm exclusively; there are two folders of correspondence with Robbins only.
Material within folders is a mix of forward and reverse chronological order. This series has been scanned in entirety.

This small section of Subseries 1.6 consists of inventory lists and correspondence concerning the liquidation of the Seligmann's Paris galleries, known then as Jacques Seligmann & Fils, Germain Seligmann & Cie., en Liquidation, Paris. Most of the remaining stock was either returned to family members or became part of the inventory of the New York based Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc.

Stock in Paris
This small section of Subseries 1.6 includes contracts, agreements, financial statements, and supporting correspondence concerning the legal status and rights of Georges Seligmann, cousin to Germain Seligman. When the Paris firm liquidated its assets in the early 1940s, Georges claimed he owned a share of the stock and desired either commissions or a portion of the sales profits from the Paris inventory. These files document the numerous agreements between Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., and Georges Seligmann following the liquidation of the Paris office and the establishment of the "French Company" (in legal contracts this term was used to designate Jacques Seligmann et Fils and G. Seligman & Cie, S.A., Successors in Liquidation), also known as the "Nouvelle Society.") All materials concern the percentages of Georges's commissions, ownership of particular stock and inventory, and the employment of Georges by the firm. Additional financial information about the inventory, sales, and commissions is arranged in Miscellaneous Financial Notes and Files (Series 7.18).

This section of Subseries 1.6 includes mostly letters to the U.S. State Department and Paris attorneys J. A. Tout, M. Chauveau, M. Besson, François Bazin, and Claude Perles concerning the recovery of family and company financial and art assets either frozen or stolen during World War II. The 1940 correspondence is with the U.S. State Department and concerns the filing of documents and affadavits in order for the State Department to afford protection to the firm's assets in Paris. The remaining files postdate World War II and concern the very complicated recovery of art stolen from the Paris office. Found here are interesting letters regarding the European state of affairs at the time, comments and notations about other dealers, names of individuals associated with the sales of stolen art, and detailed information about works of art belonging to the Seligmann family. The 1952 file also contains an interesting letter that outlines the firm's previous liquidations and family financial settlements. Two files at the end of the subseries provide further information regarding the recovery of specific works of art. They contain detailed lists of assets and relate to the importation into France of artwork from other European countries such as England and Switzerland. Much of the correspondence is in French.

This subseries consists primarily of correspondence between the New York office and the Paris office and several additional folders of correspondence dating from 1940 to 1953 between Germain Seligman and sales associates César de Hauke, Rolf Hans Waegen, and Theresa D. Parker.
The files are in chronological order, with each office having its own folder. Material within folders is generally in reverse chronological order. Mostly written in French, the correspondence concerns sales, clients, inventory, and general business concerns of the two offices. Curiously, 1928 has only one file, identified as correspondence with Paris. Dates may occasionally overlap folders.

This subseries contains business and scattered personal correspondence of Clyfford Trevor, a modest collector and employee of the firm's New York office. Germain Seligman credited Trevor as a valued associate who helped foster the firm's interest in modern European art. Trevor's family established an art gallery, J. Trevor & Sons, in London in 1896, where Trevor worked before joining the firm of Scott & Fowles. He began his employment in the New York office of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., in 1924, where he stayed until returning to London in 1948 to work as an independent arts consultant. The majority of the correspondence documents Trevor's business trips to U.S. cities cultivating collectors and museums. Letters detail names of contacts made, recommendations on how to proceed with clients, and other pertinent business matters. Letters written in later years include some of Germain's handwritten notations on commissions for Trevor.
The files are arranged in chronological order, with one folder of correspondence with Carll Tucker following and one folder of personal correspondence. Some of the correspondence is in French. Additional correspondence of Clyfford Trevor is scattered throughout General Correspondence (Series 1.3) and Museum Correspondence (Series 1.4).

Letters regarding personal matters and social events are also found. Later files concern Waegen's death and the settlement of his estate.
The files are arranged into foreign correspondence, domestic correspondence, and personal correspondence. The personal correspondence, however, also contains correspondence with potential clients and collectors. Portions of correspondence are written in French and German. Additional correspondence of Waegen is scattered throughout General Correspondence (Series 1.3) and Museum Correspondence (Series 1.4).

The files of Theresa D. Parker, sales associate of the firm, provide a chronological record of the company's activities from 1960 to 1972. Termed "diaries" by Parker, they were used as a communication tool between Parker and Germain Seligman, just as Seligman's Inter-Office Memoranda (Series 1.13) were used to provide instructions or information to the firm's staff. The "diaries" provided updates to Seligman on daily events that occurred when he was away from the office on business or vacation. Entries include notes on conversations with European and U.S. clients and may be supplemented by related documentation such as memoranda, telegrams, or correspondence. One folder contains daily diaries written by staff and addressed to Theresa D. Parker while she was away on vacation.

Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., maintained extensive files to track important clients and collectors in the art world. The files within this series reflect the wide scope of contacts and collector references maintained by the firm throughout its operating years. The series is further subdivided into several subseries based on type of reference file.
The first and largest subseries, titled Collectors (Series 2.1), traces artwork owned and sold by private American and European collectors and galleries, with descriptions and sale prices noted, present location of works of art, when known, along with photographs of art pieces and occasional physical descriptions and exhibition text. The Museum Files (Series 2.2) reflects a similar function and arrangement as the Collectors (Series 2.1) files but mainly concerns artwork held, donated to, or purchased by major American and European museums.
Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., acted as agents in the sales of several large and important art collections. Files in the Duc d'Arenberg Collection (Series 2.3) document the involvement in the late 1940s of Jacques Seligmann & Co. in the sale of objects from the d'Arenberg family's manuscript collection and the firm's activities in arranging for treatment and eventual sale of a select group of paintings that included Jan Vermeer's
Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., maintained a variety of records to track the location of important pieces of art as well as background material and addresses of collectors of note. Old Collectors of Interest (Series 2.7) consists of documents that were originally contained in two looseleaf volumes, generally compiled circa 1938-1952, but there are infrequent sales data from earlier dates. The information includes names and addresses of collectors, details of artwork or collections owned by the collectors, along with references to listings or reproduction in art catalogs. Most of this information appears to come directly from the catalogs, but some items record the observations and impressions of Germain Seligman after personally viewing the collection or object. Materials in the Blue Book of Collectors (Series 2.8) were originally contained within a blue-covered looseleaf notebook. Entries list collectors along with their address and occasional details of the artwork they owned. The entries date largely from 1956. Collections Books (Series 2.9) includes four looseleaf notebooks dating from the late 1920s to the mid-1950s that maintained information related to the holdings of art collectors, individual works of art, and negotiations related to the sales or purchases of works of art. The first volume serves as an index to the other three volumes and is arranged by artist and collector or collection. The other three volumes contain memoranda for the record by Germain Seligman, letters and telegrams, lists of works viewed by Seligman along with his opinions about them, and his accounts of conversations held with owners regarding their willingness to sell items. Prospective Clients (Series 2.10) consists of records from five looseleaf binder notebooks. The books contain entries made between the mid-1930s and the mid-1950s by Germain Seligman concerning people he viewed as potential clients, along with notations as to why he viewed them that way. File cards were subsequently made from these files and added to Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., mailing lists. Reserve Notebooks (Series 2.11) consists of records from four spiral notebooks that list client, artwork under consideration, and related material. Entries from the mid-1960s to early 1970s document clients who expressed an interest in a particular work or type of art as well as actual customer requests to reserve a particular work. People of Interest (Series 2.12) consists of additional files maintained on people viewed as potential clients that were largely compiled by Germain Seligman and other staff members during their trips to visit museums, collections, or individual owners or buyers of art. The information centers on American clients, but occasional European customers are also included. The records largely date from 1930 to 1950, with the records regarding Paris and the French provinces dating from 1963 to 1974. European Collectors (Series 2.13) has information similar to that in People of Interest (Series 2.12) but for European and South American regions and in a card file format. The records cover the period from the mid-1930s to the early 1970s.
The Collectors Files series is arranged into the following subseries. More detailed descriptions for each of the subseries follow with a corresponding box and folder inventory.
The bulk of this series has been scanned. Details of exceptions are provided in the arrangement notes for each subseries.
The files largely consist of photographs of artwork, along with occasional physical description of the item, biographical research regarding the artist and his works, and provenance information. Names of purchasers and dates of sale are frequently found on the back of photographs of the artwork, although multiple photographs may have conflicting information. Occasional correspondence and printed matter and photocopied material (which accounts for the few early dates in the span dates) are also encountered, along with data regarding the collections of the individual owners.
The files are generally listed by name of person or gallery. Arrangement is alphabetical by name. For large groups of files relating to one collector, folders may also be arranged to reflect the order in which items are listed in the firm's documentation. Material within folders is generally arranged chronologically, although many folders involve detailed material concerning specific works of art, which are arranged by name of artist and work.
This bulk of this series has been scanned with the exception of photographic negatives.

In 1939 Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., was retained by the Clarence H. Mackay Estate's executors to act as agent for the sale of the collection. Mackay was a wealthy American collector of Renaissance and eighteenth-century decorative arts, tapestries, and arms and armor, and he was a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A good portion of his collection was originally acquired through Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., and Mackay had also been a close friend of the firm's partner and associate, Eugene Glaenzer. As many items had no cataloged provenance, Seligmann enlisted the aid of Stephen V. Grancsay, curator of arms and armor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Carl Otto von Kienbusch to help with the authentication and cataloging of the collection.
This subseries is further divided into nine sections that consist of various categories of correspondence, reports, financial files, inventory and stock notebooks, lists, printed matter, and photographs. Of special note within the Paris office (Jacques Seligmann & Co.) folder in Alphabetical Correspondence (Series 2.4.3) is a reply letter dated August 17, 1939, from the museum director and conservator of the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, Germany. It bears the swastika seal of the Nazi regime and is addressed to César M. de Hauke. The director cordially thanks de Hauke for information sent to him regarding the Clarence H. Mackay Collection but states that the museum is not interested in purchasing any of the artwork. Also of interest in the same folder is a letter, dated March 16, 1939, written by Germain Seligman to Georges E. Seligmann, François-Gerard Seligman, and César M. de Hauke, announcing his recent appointment as adviser for the Mackay Collection and detailing items in the collection and their importance. Germain further suggests they "start right away" contacting Marshal Hermann Goering, who he believes may be interested in acquiring armor for his collection.

Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., was contracted by John M. Schiff, son of American banker Mortimer L. Schiff, to handle the disposition of his father's vast collection of artwork. The 1937-1938 sale was arranged through the auction house of Christie's of London, as Germain Seligman believed that the type of artwork in the collection would generate more buyers in Europe than in the United States. The auction was held June 1938. The collection consisted of important oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings by Flemish, French, and German masters, English drawings and watercolors, Beauvais tapestries, Gothic and Renaissance sculpture and bronze, Chinese porcelains, Gothic and Renaissance arms and armor, and decorative arts. Included in the sale were a glazed terracotta,

The documents in this subseries were originally contained in two looseleaf volumes, generally compiled circa 1938-1952, but there are infrequent sales data from earlier dates included.
Information in these documents includes the name of the collector, city and street address (when known), artist and title of work, along with occasional artistic assessment and other comments regarding the owner or collection. Also occasionally included was information about the size, medium, references to listings or reproduction in catalogs, records of known sales, and the location where viewed. Most of this information appears to come directly from catalogs, but some represents the recorded observations and impressions of Germain Seligman after he personally viewed the collection or object.

The items within this subseries were originally in five looseleaf binder notebooks. Entries were made by Germain Seligman about people he viewed as potential clients, along with notations as to why he viewed them as such. File cards were then made from these names and subsequently added to Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., mailing lists.
Arrangement is by book number and thereafter generally reflects a chronological order. This series has been scanned in entirety.

This subseries replicates information in People of Interest (Series 2.12) for European and South American regions, but documents it in a card file format.
Arrangement is by continent and, thereafter, by country. This series has not been scanned.
This series houses reference and provenance files, correspondence, and catalogs relating to auctions, primarily of individual works of art owned by Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. Most of the auctions were handled by Christie's between 1957 and 1975, although there are a few files for auctions held at Parke-Bernet. There is also extensive documentation of the 1948 Parke-Bernet auction of the C. S. Wadsworth Trust, a dummy trust set up by the firm to dispose of a portion of its inventory consisting of Renaissance portraits, Old Masters, late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century French paintings, and French and British eighteenth-century works. Several drawings and paintings by Pierre Bonnard, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat, Edouard Vuillard, and other modern artists and masters were included. Although the firm tried to keep the true ownership of the works of art from the public, it was discovered and leaked to the press. Also found in this series are auction catalogs from Christie's, Parke-Bernet, and various auction houses for auctions featuring the firm's works.
The series is organized into three subseries. The bulk of this series has been scanned. Exceptions are noted in the individual descriptions for each series.
This subseries is arranged by name of auction house, date of auction, artist, and work of art. There are also several folders of correspondence with auction houses that follow folders for individual works of art. Two folders of material about miscellaneous works of art from unknown auction houses are placed at the end of the subseries. Files on individual works of art include provenance documentation, research notes, and photographs. Correspondence files with the auction houses also include memoranda, shipping receipts, lists, insurance papers, and photographs.

Miscellaneous Auction Catalogs
Throughout its years of operation, Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., held numerous exhibitions in both the Paris and the New York galleries. This series houses the records related to those exhibitions.
Exhibition records deal with the general logistics of exhibition planning and document staff inquiries to collectors or museums about availability of artwork for loans and other exhibition business. Master artists from the Renaissance and from seventeenth- through nineteenth-century France, as well as Impressionist and early modern painters, were all represented in the exhibitions held in Jacques Seligmann & Co. galleries.
Scrapbooks served as a type of archival documentation of some of the exhibitions held in the galleries. Originally part of four large, oversized scrapbooks, the materials include brochures, exhibition text, printed material, and clippings.
Miscellaneous files includes clippings about selected exhibitions, information about competitions and annual shows, correspondence, administrative materials, and shipping materials related to loans of artwork for the exhibitions. A list of exhibitions held by Jacques Seligmann & Co. is also found among the records.
The series is organized into three subseries. The bulk of this series has been scanned. Exceptions are noted in the individual series descriptions.
Many of the exhibitions organized by Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., in the early 1930s helped develop Americans' taste for modern art and an interest in modern European painters, such as Juan Gris, Amedeo Modigliani, and Pablo Picasso. This subseries includes an 1936 exhibit of Picasso's works from his Blue and Rose Periods as well as a retrospective of his work. Another major exhibition project was the firm's participation in the 1940 World's Fair. Jacques Seligmann & Co. loaned artwork and antiques to the exhibition titled,
Significant correspondents found in this series include Alfred H. Barr, director of the Museum of Modern Art, and the well-known collector Duncan Phillips. Important lenders to the exhibitions held include the Cleveland Museum of Art; M. Knoedler & Co., Inc.; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Phillips Memorial Gallery; and Wadsworth Atheneum.
There are also correspondence, lists, announcements, printed material such as exhibition catalogs, newspaper clippings, and notes concerning individual exhibitions. Arrangement of the subseries is chronological by year of exhibition and notated by the first date listed for each entry. The span dates at the end of each entry describe the dating of material within the folder.
Documents within folders are generally in loose chronological order. Exhibitions held in the Paris galleries are noted within parentheses. Titles of exhibitions are listed in italics. Occasional exhibition files are further subdivided into subject or format headings.
This series has been scanned in entirety with the exception of one folder of labels.

Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., continuously purchased and retained books, articles, and exhibition and sale catalogs for reference use at its galleries. This series consists of Gallery Library Card Catalogs and a Photograph Reference Index for works of art.
Entries for the card catalog were assigned numbers. The library holdings largely consisted of exhibition catalogs, art history and criticism titles, and biographies and monographs on individual artists.
The Photograph Reference Index consists of handwritten and typed records on works of art that generally include date of photograph, stock number, artist, size of work, and publications in which a photograph of the artwork has appeared. Of special interest to researchers will be the notations made on two entries listed under the name, Seligman, G. S., identifying those works of art as looted by the German forces during the occupation of Paris.
The series is organized into two subseries. Series 5.1. has been scanned; series 5.2. has not been scanned.
At the beginning of the Card Catalog I are four index cards that explain the firm's filing system: books were generally filed under subject and author; exhibitions were filed by country, city, gallery, museum, or subject; private collections were filed under "Collections"; exhibition catalogs of individual collections were filed under the collector's name; auction sales were sometimes listed by subject; the category "Dictionaries" gave listings of general reference works; and "General" listings were books that did not fit other classifications. In Card Catalog II many of the entries reference exhibition or auction catalogs.
The arrangement of this subseries is alphabetical. This series has not been scanned.
The arrangement of this subseries is alphabetical. Interspersed within the larger alphabetical arrangement are small, specialized subject headings. This series has not been scanned.
Within the card file are three series of indexes. Arrangement of the first is by medium; the second series is arranged alphabetically by name of collector or collection; and the third lists painters, arranged alphabetically, followed by sculptors. Note that there may not be index cards for every letter of the alphabet referenced in the container listing. This series has been scanned in entirety.

This series includes bound and loose stock and inventory catalogs and lists prepared by the New York and Paris offices. Inventory catalogs are arranged by location, inventory number, genre, and ownership for stock in New York and Paris. Although many of the catalogs are complete and in numbered order, others appear to be missing inventory numbers. It was quite common for the firm to remove part of an inventory catalog when an item had been sold and file the sheet in other files in the firm's records. Some of the inventory number sequences overlap due to copies of listings being filed in more than one place. Also found are miscellaneous inventory lists as well as an inventory of the firms photographic negative file of works of art.
This series is organized into four subseries. This series has been scanned in entirety, with the exception of 6.4: Negative files.

This series houses the large and complex financial records of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. Although primarily the records of the New York office under the direction of Germain Seligman, a few records of the Paris office are scattered throughout many of the subseries. Most of the financial records of subsidiary companies, such as de Hauke & Co., Inc., and Modern Paintings, Inc., are arranged with the appropriate series housing the records of those companies, except where ledgers and account books share entries for all the companies. Additional receipts, invoices, and other financial documentation are also interspersed throughout Correspondence (Series 1), Auction Files (Series 3), and the Inventory and Stock Files (Series 6).
Quite large and complex, the financial records contain comprehensive documentation of sales and purchases of both the New York and Paris offices. The records include fascinating and revealing information about sales, purchases, provenance, prices, clients, and shared commission sales with other dealers. Several subseries are of particular note. Purchase Receipts/Documentation (Series 7.1) houses a fairly complete set of documentation of the firm's purchases, including the 1937 acquisition of Madame Jacques Doucet's collection of Picassos, which included
This series contains a wide variety of financial records, and has been further arranged into eighteen subseries. The bulk of this series has been scanned with the exception of Series 7.7., and Series 7.12.-7.15. Blank pages of bound volumes have not been scanned and consequently there will be gaps in the page numbers of these volumes.
This subseries houses receipt files for purchases made by the Paris and New York offices of Jacques Seligmann & Co. Inc., which provide a detailed overview of many of the firm's purchases from 1925 through 1973. The files contain a variety of receipts, invoices, notes, correspondence, bank transfers, and shipping invoices that document purchases, prices, and detailed physical descriptions of artworks, decorative art objects, and antiquities. Found here are important and often fascinating provenance information and documentation of negotiations, commissioned and shared sales, shipping, and banking transfers. For example, the 1937 purchase of Madame Jacques Doucet's collection of Picassos is well documented in these files. Many of the files also note on whose behalf a purchase is being made.
The files are arranged by the firm's inventory numbering system, and the numbers can be cross-indexed with the Inventory and Stock Files (Series 6) and other series referencing the same inventory numbers. Note that many of the inventory numbers do not appear in the purchase receipts, and it is unclear whether they were not used or represent a gap in the documentation. Much of the documentation is in English, although some is in French and German.

This subseries houses journals that list works of art sent out to clients "on approval" for sale and items received by the firm "on approval" for purchase. Information includes names of clients, such as museums, galleries, dealers, and individuals, titles of artwork or decorative art objects, and stock inventory numbers. Entries also indicate whether the piece was sold or returned, along with date of sale or return. Several of the journals also include name indexes in the front. Black entries appear to indicate items the firm sent out to clients for approval; red entries indicate items the firm received on approval. The last journal in the subseries exclusively lists "on approvals" for Paris and Geneva, 1926-1939 (Jacques Seligmann & Fils, Paris, and Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., Geneva).
Although the journals are arranged in chronological order, many contain scattered dated entries that do not match the chronological bulk dates of the journal; it is unclear why these entries appear out of order in many of the journals. It should also be noted that there is an overlap of years in the journals dated 1921-1927 and 1922-1928.

This subseries includes three dismantled notebooks of typed and handwritten notes documenting prices quoted to clients for specific works of art. Each notebook records dates and details of conversations, meetings, and correspondence with individual clients. The notebooks are divided into sections based on geographic area and either state, city, or city museum. These internal notes provide rich insight and important information about negotiations and clients' interests. Overall the notebooks document the building of many museum and private art collections within the United States.
The notebooks are in chronological order and have been dismantled into file folders. Many of the pages of the sections within the notebooks are, however, in reverse chronological order.

These official government documents detail all works of art exported to the United States (or other countries) by Jacques Seligmann & Co., between 1920 and 1953. They provide important provenance information, such as physical description, (often in great detail), age, from whom acquired, date of acquisition, and assessed market value. They also contain information about shipping. The invoices provide researchers with a perspective of the overall quantity and nature of the firm's purchases and shipments for this period.
The invoices are arranged chronologically. This series has been scanned in entirety.

This interesting subseries of financial records provides additional details concerning numerous sales and financial transactions of Jacques Seligmann & Co., in the form of correspondence, notes, and memoranda to clients. Although not all the firm's sales are represented in these files, some very important sales and provenance information are documented in these credit notes. Scattered throughout are also routine notes and correspondence concerning financial transactions other than the sale of artwork, particularly in the bound volumes arranged in the subseries. The bound letterpress volumes were originally filed with Correspondence (Series 1) but were refiled in this subseries because of the similar nature of the documents. Scattered throughout the bound volumes, however, are a few notes and letters that are slightly different in nature. The first bound volume is labeled "Mr. Germain's Private Book" but contains the same type of information as found in the credit notes. The name of the series is based upon the terminology used by Jacques Seligmann & Co. and can be defined as credits back to the firm's various accounts. Many of the notes also detail a "debit" on the same document.
The files are divided into loose and bound and, within, are in chronological order. The bulk of this series has been scanned with the exception of bound credit notes which have not been scanned due to the condition of the material.

This series documents the activities of the Contemporary American Department, a division of Jacques Seligmann & Co. that was established in 1935 to represent young and upcoming American artists. Under the direction of Theresa D. Parker, the department initiated a contemporary American art exhibition program, exposing out-of-town artists to audiences in New York and circulating their work nationwide through loans to other galleries and art institutions.
The department was suspended during World War II but, in the years that followed, resumed its activities with a series of exhibitions featuring work primarily by young artists, many of whom had recently completed military service. Artists sponsored by the department were selected from recommendations made by colleges and art centers and included Kahlil Gibran, Arthur Kraft, Rico Lebrun, and Cleve Gray. Parker continued to operate the department until the late 1970s, when it was closed due to the deteriorating health of Germain Seligman.
This series is organized into five subseries. This bulk of this series has been scanned with the exception of some printed material, some photographs of artwork and a Letterpress of Bills which has not been scanned due to its condition.
This subseries documents many aspects of the department's daily business. Files primarily contain correspondence with artists, galleries, and art institutions and are supplemented by a small number of general subject files that focus on administrative activities, exhibitions, or the department's interest in specific art media. In addition to correspondence, individual files may contain photographs of artists and works of art, financial records, details of exhibitions, shipping and loan records, and printed matter, such as exhibition catalogs and news clippings.
Theresa D. Parker's personal correspondence can be found scattered throughout, in addition to substantial correspondence with several of the artists represented by the department. A portion of the correspondence from the late 1970s concerns the eventual closing of the department.
Files are arranged alphabetically by name or subject. This series has been scanned in entirety.

In the 1920s César M. de Hauke was introduced by René Seligmann to his cousin, Germain Seligman, head of the American branch of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. Germain Seligman was so impressed by de Hauke's knowledge, interest, and excellent taste in modern art that he decided to help de Hauke set up a new company that would specialize in selling contemporary European and French art in the United States. This was a business venture that Germain Seligman had long wished to try under the auspices of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., but other family members, who were silent partners in the firm, had been reluctant to support the proposition since it was outside the areas within which the company had traditionally dealt.
In 1926 Seligman personally financed the fledgling company, first called International Contemporary Art Company, Inc., and appointed César M. de Hauke its head, but even before the legal documents setting up the company were completed, the name was amended and changed to de Hauke & Co., Inc. Athough the bulk of the new company's art purchases for stock took place in Paris and London, the majority of its sales occurred in the United States.
Seligman and de Hauke worked out an agreement that allowed de Hauke both to purchase works of art that he could sell privately within the de Hauke & Co. gallery as well as to purchase works of art for Jacques Seligmann & Co. Ownership of paintings was often shared among various dealers, involving complicated commission transactions upon completion of sales. The two businesses were deeply intertwined, as evidenced by the fact that Jacques Seligmann & Co. financial records include a great deal of de Hauke material and many of de Hauke's records are written on Jacques Seligmann & Co. stationery. De Hauke & Co. also shared addresses with Jacques Seligmann & Co. in New York at 3 East Fifty-first Street and in Paris at 9 Rue de la Paix or 57 Rue Saint-Dominique. By 1927, de Hauke had joined Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., as an employee of that firm.
De Hauke worked actively to bring the work of modern French artists to the attention of American buyers, exhibiting works by Pierre Bonnard, Amedeo Modigliani, Odilon Redon, Ker-Xavier Roussel, and Edouard Vuillard. He was equally interested in French School drawings and watercolors, and the scope of his exhibitions also included works by nineteenth-century masters such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, and Georges Seurat. De Hauke was an acknowledged authority on Seurat.
A Perusal of de Hauke & Co. financial records reveals the wide range of its stock, from decorative arts and frames to paintings, sculptures, glassware, ceramics, leather bindings and writing pads, and prints and drawings by some of the most recognizable names in nineteenth- and twentieth-century art. Included in de Hauke & Co.'s inventory were works by notable European artists such as Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Honoré Daumier, Edgar Degas, Raoul Dufy, Constantin Guys, Fernand Léger, ?douard Manet, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Odilon Redon, Vincent van Gogh, and Edouard Vuillard.
Exceptionally well-known works of art, or studies for these works, are listed among the invoices and ledger books:
Even during 1929 and beyond, sales appeared to be brisk despite the general economic downturn. Sales were made to private individuals, such as Lillie P. Bliss, Frank Crowninshield, Duncan Phillips, Henry Reinhardt, Edith Wetmore, and Grenville L. Winthrop. Among the galleries that de Hauke dealt with were Bernheim-Jeune, the Downtown Gallery, and M. Knoedler & Co.
The success that de Hauke & Co. demonstrated in sales helped Germain Seligman to convince other family members of the profitability to be found in modern art, and in 1930 he established Modern Paintings, Inc., as the new modern paintings branch of the New York office. This change led to de Hauke's eventual resignation from Jacques Seligmann & Co. in 1931. Legal documents within the series records suggest that the relationship between de Hauke and Seligman had become strained. De Hauke's financial records after 1931 (with the exception of a few miscellaneous items) are not part of the Jacques Seligmann & Co. records.
The relationship between de Hauke and Germain Seligman continued to deteriorate after World War II, as evidenced by an exchange of letters in Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., (Series 9.1.6). Writing from liberated France on November 20, 1944, de Hauke asked Germain Seligman's help in obtaining a visa to return to the United States. In a letter from New York City, dated March 16, 1945, Germain Seligman replied, refusing sponsorship without giving specific reasons but hinting at concerns over de Hauke's role in the selling of company property seized by the German forces during the occupation of Paris.
Researchers may especially wish to note the provenance information that can be gleaned from study of the consular invoices, which established the value and authenticity of artworks. De Hauke documented company sales in many ways, including by name of the purchaser, as a daily transaction, and as a consignment. Much overlapping information on sales and provenance can be found in ledgers, invoices, consignment records, consular invoices, and shipping correspondence, so researchers are advised to look in all of these categories to gain a complete perspective on transactions involving specific works of art, individuals, or institutions.
The de Hauke & Co., Inc., series is arranged into 7 subseries. This series has been scanned in entirety with the exception of one item in 9.7. Blank pages in bound volumes have not been scanned so gaps will appear in the the numbering of those volumes.
De Hauke & Co., Inc., kept extensive correspondence files that were broken down into major groupings similar to those of Jacques Seligmann & Co. There are seven separate sections to this subseries. Bernheim-Jeune Correspondence (Series 9.1.1) includes letters, contracts, and business transactions between de Hauke & Co. and Bernheim-Jeune, a leading European modern art dealer in the period between the wars. The two largest sections of this subseries, Domestic Correspondence (Series 9.1.2) and Foreign Correspondence (Series 9.1.3) reflect the efforts of de Hauke to cultivate and maintain international associates and clients. Museum Correspondence (Series 9.1.4) includes correspondence with art institutions and museums. Correspondence between staff of de Hauke & Co. and staff of Jacques Seligmann & Co. can be found in Inter-Office Correspondence (Series 9.1.5) and Jacques Seligmann & Co. (Series 9.1.6). Correspondence with art magazines and publishers of de Hauke & Co. exhibition announcements and advertisements can be found in Publicity (Series 9.1.7)
This subseries consists mainly of typewritten letters with occasional attachments, announcements and invitations, and cablegrams. Correspondence is in French, but the content of the letters appears to reflect the ongoing art dealing transactions between Bernheim-Jeune and de Hauke & Co. Researchers may find particularly interesting a contract that details the 1926 arrangement between de Hauke & Co. and Bernheim-Jeune that entitled de Hauke to serve as its exclusive representative in the United States and Canada. The material is arranged chronologically.
In many of the folders records are in reverse chronological order. This series has been scanned in entirety.

Miscellaneous Financial Notes
This small series houses the legal and financial files of the subsidiary company Modern Paintings, Inc., which was established in 1930 to incorporate most of the inventory of the liquidated de Hauke & Co., Inc. The stock consisted primarily of contemporary (late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century) European paintings. Modern Paintings, Inc., was not only a subsidiary of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., but also of Tessa Corp., a joint company established by various Seligmann family members who owned inventory of the Paris company when it was legally dissolved and became a branch office of the New York corporation. Modern Paintings, Inc., was liquidated between 1931 and 1934, and most of the stock became the inventory of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., or Gersel Corp., although many of the paintings remained jointly owned by family members or César de Hauke.
Found in this series are scattered correspondence and contracts regarding liquidation and shipping. One file of particular interest contains miscellaneous correspondence, notes, invoices, and other documentation of sales and purchases with dealers such as Bernheim-Jeune, Wildenstein & Co., Inc., and others. There are also inventory lists; bound approval journals that list artwork sent out to potential clients on approval for sale and include names of the clients and lists of artwork; two purchases and sales bound ledgers; two bound general ledgers; consignment invoices for artwork on consignment either to or from the company for sale; and miscellaneous financial notes. Also included are a 1930-1932 bound journal containing an indexed and chronological group of credit and invoice notes; a 1926-1930 bound journal/ledger with reports of accounts, balance sheets, and inventory lists that predates Modern Paintings, Inc., and is primarily for de Hauke & Co., Inc.; and bound shipping and insurance logbooks.
Researchers should note that this series houses information concerning several significant purchases, sales, and commission sales of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century European artwork that were handled through Modern Paintings, Inc., rather than the parent company of Jacques Seligmann & Co.

This is a very small series of records of the subsidiary Gersel Corp., which appears to have been in business from the mid-1940s through the late 1960s. The records do not provide any documentation on the establishment or liquidation of the company, but it appears that the company was established to handle the accounts of certain acquisitions and sales that Germain Seligman did not want handled by the main firm, although the firm usually took a commission for the sales. Gersel may have handled artwork acquisitions and sales for which Germain Seligman was the primary owner.
