Charles M. Kurtz's name is known to many scholars and students of American art history. To some he is important for his critical writings, others are interested in his management of exhibitions for the Art Union and the American Art Association. Many are aware of him because of his publication of
Born in 1853 to Davis Brook Kurtz (1826-1906), an attorney, and Julia Wilder, Charles Kurtz enjoyed a genteel upbringing. The Kurtz family originated in Darmstadt, Germany, and migrated to America in the eighteenth century. D.B. Kurtz, a leading member of the Lawrence County bar, was also a vice-president of the National Bank of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. As a local representative of many important railroad and business interests, he accumulated assets estimated at one million dollars by the time of his death, just three years before that of his son, Charles, the eldest of his five children. Unlike his brothers Louis, who also became an attorney, and Edward, a professor at Columbia University, Charles eschewed a professional career to enter the art world, as did his sisters Emily, an artist, and Catherine, a musician.
After his graduation from Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania, Kurtz visited the Centennial Exposition, held in 1876 in Philadelphia, before coming to New York to study art at the National Academy of Design. These two activities foreshadowed the direction that his career would eventually take. As the chronology indicates, his early efforts revolve around writing for a variety of publications, most notably, his own
Kurtz's personal life changed significantly in 1884 when he met Julia Stephenson, a physician's daughter and fledging art student from Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Throughout their courtship and after their marriage the couple was frequently separated. Consequently, they wrote lengthy letters which document not only their personal relationship but also Kurtz's aspirations and activities in the art world.
With his appointment as one of Halsey C. Ives's (1847-1911) chief assistants of the Fine Arts Department of the World's Columbian Exposition in 1891, Charles Kurtz's career achieved international stature. Among the most notable European artists he introduced into this country through circulating exhibitions were the Glasgow School, the Danish School, the Hungarian artist, Mihaly Munkacsy, and the subject of his final exhibition, the Spanish artist, Sorolla.
Throughout his life, Kurtz was plagued by health problems and, in 1899, illness forced him to resign as Assistant Director of Fine Arts for the United States for the Paris Exposition of 1900. Throughout the following decade, his work was increasingly interrupted by ill health. His death in 1909 at the age of 54, while sudden, was not entirely unexpected. However it most certainly cut short a cosmopolitan career that encompassed virtually every aspect of the art world and the pertinent issues of the day.
Kurtz is remembered for his editorial work with the National Academy of Design; as Art Director for the Southern Exposition, 1883-1886, and the St. Louis Exposition, 1894-1899 (where he introduced the Glasgow School of Painting); and as Assistant Chief/Director for the World's Columbian Exposition, the 1900 Paris Exposition, and the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition. He was also director of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy.
The Charles M. Kurtz papers measure 27.74 linear feet and date from 1843 to 1990 with the bulk of the material dating from 1884 to 1909. The bulk of the collection consists of chronological correspondence between Kurtz and his family, most notably his wife, friends, colleagues, and business associates. Kurtz's letters are amazingly detailed and document many notable exhibitions, galleries, museums, private collections, as well as cities, people, and events of the period. The letters between Kurtz and his wife are most interesting for their descriptive commentary on late 19th century life and offer a complete picture of Kurtz's activities. Many of Kurtz's letters to Halsey C. Ives can be found in the Halsey C. Ives Papers. Some of the letters in the collection are illustrated. Also found in the collection are Kurtz's diaries, scrapbooks, printed materials, and photographs.
The collection is organized into twelve series.
The St. Louis Exposition/Halsey C. Ives papers in the Archives of American Art contain material relating to Charles M. Kurtz.
Additional Charles Kurtz papers, 1870-1910, including 340 letters which discuss exhibitions, sales of art, patronage, atelier visits, and submissions to publications, and letters to his parents in which he discsses the art market and art world new; as well as manuscripts, notebooks, a diary, and printed ephemera relating to exhibitions and publications, are available at the Getty Research Institute, Research Library, Los Angeles, California.
For many years, the Kurtz Papers were thought to have been destroyed in a fire. Isabel Kurtz, a school teacher who lived with her older sister in Buffalo, New York, was vague when initially approached about her father's papers by Archives Regional Director, Robert Brown in the mid-1980s. However upon her death in 1991, her will revealed that the papers were indeed in her house in Buffalo and the bulk of them were bequeathed to the Archives of American Art. Paintings and a diary relating to the Glasgow School were given to the Yale Center for British Art. That diary has subsequently been duplicated on microfilm and is now also available in the Archives. Scorch marks on some of the papers and also on the paintings given to Yale suggest that there was indeed a fire. The material that was not bequeathed to the Archives included duplicates of printed documents along with books from the Kurtz library and a coin collection, all of which were dispersed in an estate auction that was held in Buffalo in 1991.
The collection is open for research. Patrons must use microfilm copy.

The collection was processed and the finding aid written by Arleen Pancza-Graham in 1996. The finding aid was modified during EAD conversion by Stephanie Ashley in 2002. Glass plate negatives were re-housed in 2015 with a grant provided by the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The Archives of American Art also holds material lent for microfilming (reel 4912) including Charles Kurtz's Glasgow painting diary. The loaned diary was returned to the lender and can now be found at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut. This material is not described in the collection container inventory.
This series includes résumés and reminiscences by and about Kurtz, obituaries of Kurtz and other family members, and miscellaneous biographical information. The types of material included are newspaper clippings, handwritten and typed manuscripts, drafts and printed matter.
Résumés and reminiscences consist of a press release/résumé by Charles M. Kurtz, "A New Appointment," on his appointment as Assistant Director of the U. S. Exposition, 1900 Paris World's Fair; a biography of Kurtz; and a reminiscence by Kurtz's daughter, Isabella Starkweather Kurtz.
Charles M. Kurtz had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances that often overlapped his personal friends and professional colleagues with his career activities. Certain individuals whose names may not be particularly well known, such as the artists, D.F. Hasbrouck, William Morgan and Patty Thum, for example, were both personal and professional friends. Their letters, often seeking Kurtz's help, are informative about their own and Kurtz's careers. Kurtz's close friends, the Starkweathers, his own relatives, and his wife's family, the Stephensons, were particularly interested in Kurtz's professional activities and also kept him informed. His sister, Emily "Clootie" Kurtz, for example, also studied art in New York under H. Siddons Mowbray and her letters, especially those written while she was in Europe in 1891, occasionally commented on the art world of the day. His father, D.B. Kurtz, an important attorney for railroad and banking concerns in western Pennsylvania, details many of his legal activities in his letters to his son. His letters have been highlighted because of his own prominence and their references to his son's collecting activities, for which he often advanced funds. There is also the occasional letter from the distinguished New York photographer, William Kurtz, who was not related to Charles M. Kurtz. His letters have been indicated by the inclusion of his first name so as to distinguish him from the Kurtz family.
Many of the names noted in the description of Kurtz's personal and professional correspondence represent individuals of interest to art historians and those studying American social history. Although some merely record a brief professional contact with Kurtz (e.g. Stanford White sending regrets), they do place the individual at a certain place in time. Several correspondents who contacted Kurtz throughout his career solely on behalf of personal concerns (e.g. his college fraternity) have not been noted. In the case of a letter written on behalf of a well known individual or organization by someone whose name may not be immediately recognizable, the appropriate identification has been indicated in brackets the first time it appears, e.g. James Grant [for John Wanamaker].
The correspondence between Kurtz and his wife is among the richest in the collection and most interesting for its descriptive commentaries on late 19th century life. Consequently the most successful method of using the Kurtz papers is for the researcher to identify a date and/or event for which information is needed (e.g. the blizzard of 1888) and then read their correspondence for that period. Another approach for arriving at useful information (e.g. a description of the Baltimore collector, Benjamin Walters' house) is to consult the chronology and ascertain Kurtz's itinerary during a given period. He invariablycomments on notable people, places and the ambiance in the cities that he visited while managing various expositions and exhibitions. Gaps in the correspondence between husband and wife usually correspond to periods when they were living or travelling together.
Many letters are illustrated (see Index), usually by Kurtz himself. The majority of these are to his wife. Some may be difficult to decipher because a fire scorched some of the letters while they were in the possession of the Kurtz family.
Reel 4805 contains letters, primarily from artists and art committee members; concerning loans for the Southern Exposition, Louisville, Kentucky (Aug.16-Oct.25, 1884) and related details. Frequent correspondence to and from Charles Kurtz to his fiancée Julia Stephenson is regularly interspersed beginning in September, 1884. Many of the letters from E. Wood Perry refer to the

This series consists primarily of standardized forms listing the title of the work of art, size, condition of frames, location, catalogue price and insurance value. These were completed by various artists and describe paintings being submitted to exhibitions organized by Charles M. Kurtz. The most extensive group are those that pertain to the 1886 Southern Exposition at Louisville, Kentucky.
The Southern Exposition was visited annually by half a million people from all parts of the country. It offered not only an art exhibition, but also general exhibitions of natural and manufactured products as well as musical concerts. In 1886, a dispute between the directors of the Art Department of the Louisville Exposition and the trustees of the American Art Association regarding the Prize Fund exhibition, created difficulties in obtaining some of the works specified. Consequently, interspersed among the application forms in this subseries are letters that document this altercation.
Application forms for the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association exhibitions from 1893-1897 and two exhibitions of paintings by the Glasgow School: in 1895 in St. Louis and in 1905 at the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, are also found in this series. Along with these forms are biographical statements from the artists and descriptive information regarding some of the paintings. Occasionally, as in the case of George I. Seney, works owned and loaned by noted collectors are also listed.
Legal documents in this series include memoranda of agreements between Charles M. Kurtz and various business firms, deeds and related material regarding real estate owned by the Stephenson family, and last wills and testaments of Stephenson family members.
This series is arranged into four subseries.
For an individual as precise and meticulous as Kurtz was, this seems to be an unusually incomplete series. It consists of only five small books that record his activities for parts of only four years: 1894, 1897, 1899, and 1901. Kurtz himself gives an explanation for the lack of any diaries that date from before his marriage. In a letter, probably written in October, 1885, to his new bride, Julia Stephenson Kurtz, he writes "...our trunks have been broken open. My coins are gone. Diaries and memoranda books gone and nearly everything not destroyed seems to be ruined..."
(daily log of Charles M.Kurtz's trip abroad from March 10 to May 6, 1894; his activities in Gibraltar, Tangier, Cadiz, Seville, Cordova, Grenada, Madrid, Toledo, Barcelona, Naples, and Rome are described in detail; daily expenses are also recorded)
(daily account of Charles M. Kurtz's family life in New York City including the final illness and death of his eldest daughter and a chronicle of his own health problems; also entries describing their activities on a trip abroad to Scotland, France, Belgium and Amsterdam)
(some entries are labeled with headings, including: Century Club, Lotos "Saturday Night," Private View of T.B. Clarke pictures, Architectural League reception, Water Color Society reception, Whitlaw Reid Dinner at the Lotos Club, Reception at Franzen's to Bessie Potter, T. B. Clarke sale, Architectural League meeting, The Havemeyer Sale, Sons of Revolution Dinner with S.P.Avery, and Lotos Club Art Reception; also a synopsis of Kurtz's account, February 1899, with Reid Northrop for expert examination and purchases)
(entries labeled: Dinner Architectural League and Sculpture Society; and Society of American Artists Reception)
(functions as daily calendar of activities and expenses, no exposition; entries labeled: Dinner Arts Club; Watercolor "Stag" reception; Watercolor reception Arts Club; Dinner Architectural League; Zorn Exhibition, "Tea" Arts Club; Eastman Johnson Dinner at Lotos Club)
(notations regarding Glasgow School artists)
Perhaps because of his peripatetic lifestyle, Charles Kurtz kept very precise records. Included in this series are various types of lists, both personal and professional, as well as notes to himself. Drafts and fragments of lectures and his play
A notebook belonging to Charles M. Kurtz and now owned by Yale University was loaned to the Archives for microfilming. Reel 4912 requires permission from Yale University in order to quote, publish or reproduce. It contains about a fifty page history of art in Scotland and the Glasgow School written by Kurtz in 1891 and revised in 1895.
Reels 4822-4823 contain the bulk of his writings, however miscellaneous pieces (and references to them) can also be found in some of his letters, particularly to his wife.

The majority of printed material can be found on microfilm reels numbered 4824 and 4825. However the correspondence does contain some individual articles that were enclosed in letters. These miscellaneous items are listed preceding the majority of the printed matter on the aforementioned two reels. Some duplicates of the catalogs found in this series were not filmed.
The photographs in this series may be divided into two types: personal photographs of and by Charles M. Kurtz and photographs that record paintings in his collection or exhibitions that he administered. After his death, Kurtz was eulogized as being an early pioneer in the new art form of photography. His interest surfaces in letters written particularly in the 1890s. His associate, Charles Ward Rhodes, asks Kurtz's advice on things such as equipment, and indicates that Kurtz was considered knowledgeable on these subjects. In correspondence, Kurtz himself offers to send shipboard companions photographs he has taken. Very few photographs are identified as being taken by Kurtz. Many other photographs are most probably by him but not identified as such.
Photographs of Kurtz, his family, friends, professional colleagues and artists, include Wm. Bóuguereau, Halsey C. Ives, Chas. H. Miller, Henry W. Ranger, F.K.M. Rehn, Chas. W. Rhodes, [Harry W.?] Watrous, and Charles Morris Young. Some identifications and other annotations are included with the photographs. Glass plate negatives include portrait photographs of Julia and Charles Kurtz.
Glass plate negatives have been scanned.

This series consists of oversized photographs of works of art and some original art work that Kurtz accummulated between circa 1876-1902. This material is in the Washington D.C. storage facility of the Archives of American Art and can be accessed by appointment only.
This material consists of printed matter that was received after the collection was filmed, original letters and fragments that were badly scorched in a fire and could not be filmed, and a letter-press book of correspondence by D.B. Kurtz.
