Scope and Contents note
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.
Collection Restrictions
