Abstract
The recent addition to the Dore Ashton Papers includes fifty years of correspondence between Ashton and creative friends and family members, more than one hundred photographs of the critic at home and on her extensive travels, drafts of her essays and books, research files, appointment and address books, and lectures from her time as a professor at Cooper Union. Ashton was curious about all contemporary arts, and so her papers encompass music, literature, dance, and painting from Europe and the Americas. Fluent in French and Spanish, she befriended Samuel Beckett and Octavio Paz, Gunther Gerzso and Jean Tinguely, and she wrote about their work along with that of many American artists, including Philip Guston, Robert Motherwell, and Mark Rothko.
