............................................................
Barbara Rosenthal's archive of hundreds of thousands of documents, work drafts, materials and artifacts, including wardrobe, has been acquired by The City University of New York in a combined sale and donation facilitated by a generous patron. "The enormous value of the lifetime of record-keeping, notes, drafts, versions and materials for every project in many media, plus every household and moment-to-moment life-recording and professional correspondences meticulously organized by this major artist is infinate. It is revelatory of the creative process in ways never made possible to this extent by any other collection," said Dr. Annie Tummino, Head of Special Collections and Archives. "An authority born of constant introspecion characterizes her photographic meditations upon experience and identity, writes the critic Ellen Handy, "Her work embraces chaos and uncertainty with a persistent grip upon the messy ephemerality of experience. Yet from that material she ceaselessly shapes and reshapes what may finally be understood as her apporoaches to a Platonic ideal that les behind the shifting forms and possibilities of her repeated motifs and variations upon themes...The slipage of images and motifs from one medium to the next is as evanescent and intricate as in memory over time."
