Exploring the Frank Simpson Archive

The Simpson Archive comprises over seven hundred files and contains lots of unique material about individual works of art, in particular those passing through Knoedler’s salerooms. However, it also includes information about other areas which are not apparent when first looking at the catalogue. This section highlights both those records which may be of interest to individuals researching works of art and collections, as well as those relating to people who were involved in the sale, research and teaching of art history during the first half of the twentieth century.
