- Scope and Contents
- Robert Pierce Productions film projects include documentation and interview transcripts for three film projects: "Morris Louis: Radiant Zones," "Pictures to an Exhibition," and "Morris Louis." No original video or film is found here. The "Morris Louis: Radiant Zones" was a 25 minute documentary completed in 1986. Although ultimately produced by Robert Pierce Productions, the film project originally began in 1979 in Australia and was funded by the Australian Film Commission. In 1985 it was agreed that the 16mm print would be transferred and non-theatrically exhibited at the Fort Worth Art Museum in the United States, and curated by Diane Upright Headley.
- Collection Restrictions
- Use of original papers requires an appointment and is limited to the Washington, D.C. Research Center. Many of the audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with 26 artists conducted by Anita Faatz in 1970-1971 are access restricted and written permission is required from the person interviewed. Please contact reference services for more information. Any use of archival audiovisual recordings with no duplicate access copy requires advance notice.
