         <head>Content Description</head>
         <p>The collection consists of artwork and objects collected by American poet John Ashbery. It includes paintings, glassware, ceramics, clothing, household objects, realia, printed material, collage materials, and other items of significance to Ashbery, some of which inspired his poetry or appeared in his published work. The collection includes materials by or received from Ashbery's husband David Kermani and artists Joe Brainard and Trevor Winkfield, among others.  All materials were kept in Ashbery's house in Hudson, New York, or his New York City apartment.</p>
         <p>In close consultation with John Ashbery's husband David Kermani, curator Nancy Kuhl and Ashbery biographer Karin Roffman chose the objects in this collection from among many similar objects in John Ashbery's homes in New York City and Hudson, New York, shortly after his death. As representative samples from the poet's large and rich personal collections, the objects here suggest something of the wide range of Ashbery's interests and gesture towards the depth, complexity, and enormity of his collections in their entirety. As a subset of a much larger whole, this group highlights Ashbery's sensibility, an artist who collected both within and across categories (plates printed with rebus puzzles, for example, are at home in a larger collection of plates and a collection of rebus puzzles in various formats). Other objects from Ashbery's collections are held by libraries, museums, and institutions, including the Houghton Library at Harvard University, the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library, the Morgan Library and Museum, Deerfield Academy, the Pultneyville Historical Society, and the Flow Chart Foundation. The Beinecke Library's collection of Ashbery objects is organized both by place (New York City or Hudson) and by room, reflecting the location of objects at the time of Ashbery's death and for the preceding few years when decreased mobility inhibited the poet's practice of frequently moving individual objects from one room to another and from one home to another.</p>

         <head>Processing Information</head>
         <p>Collections are processed to a variety of levels, depending on the work necessary to make them usable, their perceived research value, the availability of staff, competing priorities, and whether or not further accruals are expected. The library attempts to provide a basic level of preservation and access for all collections as they are acquired, and does more extensive processing of higher priority collections as time and resources permit.</p>
         <p>This collection received a basic level of processing, including rehousing and minimal organization.</p>
         <p>Information included in the Description of Papers note and Collection Contents section is drawn from information supplied with the collection and from an initial survey of the contents. Folder titles appearing in the contents list below are often based on those provided by the creator or previous custodian. Titles have not been verified against the contents of the folders in all cases. Otherwise, folder titles are supplied by staff during initial processing.</p>
         <p>This finding aid may be updated periodically to account for new acquisitions to the collection and/or revisions in arrangement and description.</p>

                     <p>John Wells, a friend of John Ashbery and David Kermani who sometimes worked for them, made many small works of trees, orobouros and other shapes while staying in their apartment. Most are either watercolor on paper or gouache on paper.  Most were gifts and were made in the mid to late 1990s.  A few are signed on the back.</p>

                     <p>This box of postcards was in the art closet off the second floor center hall in Hudson.  It was casually referred to — and labeled in the closet — as Ashbery's "favorites." These postcard images were ones he especially liked and several were used in collages.  There are three types of postcards in this box and one miscellany group.</p>
                     <p>Found postcards: Ashbery and friends scoured antique and thrift shops for collections of used old postcards. There were two types, used postcards with wonderful images, which he kept in this box, and postcards with banal descriptions of travel, three favorites of which he placed on the mantel in the upstairs study.</p>
                     <p>Blank (mostly vintage) postcards: Most of the postcards in this box are blank and were purchased at antique shops or sometimes sent to Ashbery as presents from friends.  There are a few with images that ended up in collages such as Caravaggio's Bacchus, which became Ashbery's Still Life (2016).</p>
                     <p>Postcards sent to Ashbery or that he wrote and never sent, including the following: 1) from Kenward [Elmslie] a letter with a found Hudson postcard March 14, [1984]; 2) A birthday postcard from Kenward [Elmslie] to Ashbery n.d. 3) A belated happy birthday from Kenward n.d. 4) from Larry [Ashmead] and Walter [Mathews] to Ashbery on his birthday n.d.; 5) from Anni [Lauterbach] on his birthday n.d.; 6) from Joe [Brainard] on Ashbery's birthday n.d. 7) signed "Anna Capri" that is from Ashbery to Harry Mathews and never sent [1962]; 8) Jan 6, 1998 #3 "Y N" postcard of Elizabeth Barrett Room, Roycroft Inn East Aurora NY to John Ashbery 49 West Court Street Hudson NY 12534.</p>
                     <p>Other: 1) a business card for Mary Martin and Bill Martin / 231 Rock Ridge Road / Millersville, MD 21108 "Antique postcards bought and sold" since 1964 (301) 647-7975 7); 2) postcard advertising the KATTERSKILL-KARDIAC POSTCARD CLUB; 3) Salon de Paris postcard partly cut out (an image which Ashbery later used for his collage "L'Auto Stop" [2015]); 4) Central New York Postcard Club; 5) receipt from 11-20-80 in Hudson 5) bookmark "Eastman's Wild Rose"; 6) Envelope with a 1990 Paris stamp commemorating 18 juin 1940 Appel a la resistance on back reads: "For John, flowers from Paris.  Love, Loretta; 7) an envelope full of Ontario Steam-Boat Company tickets of various kinds, some stamped.  The 1858 Independent Line Steamer Europa Capt. H.N. Throop, who was Ashbery's Pultneyville, NY ancestor [Horatio Throop's brother Washington built the house that Ashbery's grandfather Henry Lawrence inherited]; 8) piece of wrapping paper.</p>
                     <p>Many of these vintage postcards (both blank and used) are from locations that were important to Ashbery biographically.  There are images from Rochester, Sodus, Pultneyville (the three locations where his family had homes and where he spent his childhood) and nearby locales such as Sodus Point, Sodus Bay and Newark (NY).  There are also postcards from Deerfield (where Ashbery attended the last two years of high school at the Deerfield Academy); from Hudson (where Ashbery bought a home in 1978; Albany (where Ashbery's husband David Kermani grew up); NYC (where Ashbery rented apartments from 1949-55 and again from 1966-2017); and Los Angeles (where Ashbery liked to visit).</p>

                     <p>This box was in the upstairs sitting room of the Hudson house on a coffee table for at least the last five years of Ashbery's life.  He had plans to use some of these postcards in collages, and he also liked to look through them.  Most of these "Carte Postales" are from Europe: cities in France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands etc.  Mixed into these place postcards is one that has a building carefully cut out, as though it had been intended for a collage.</p>

                        <p>Ashbery received these collage materials from Joe Brainard over several decades. They include cut outs, postcards, and photocopies of original correspondence that accompanied the post cards. The original correspondence is in the Ashbery archive at Houghton Libary, Harvard University.</p>

                        <p>These (mostly inexpensive, mostly art) books — the kind on the sale table at the Strand in New York City or found at the Book Barn in Hillsdale, NY (Ashbery's two favorite used book stores) — served as material for collages or as provocations for collage ideas.  In about half of these books the specific pages that Ashbery planned to use are marked.  During the last decade of Ashbery's life, artist and local Hudson resident Timothy O'Connor assisted Ashbery by scanning, marking, cutting out, and pasting materials.  Ashbery would explain to O'Connor what he wanted done and O'Connor would carry out those instructions, checking in and sometimes working beside Ashbery. The post-its and handwritten notes in each book are in O'Connor's hand, except in one case where the note is by David Kermani. These books and magazines offer a kind of short-cut: a very quick, clear view of the kinds of images Ashbery chose to put in his collages.</p>

                     <p>According to David Kermani, soon before his death in 2017, Ashbery selected this puppet theater backdrop as the background for his next collage. On August 31st an assistant hung it from a shelf of the bookcase facing his bed so he could study it. Ashbery passed on September 3rd, before beginning work on the collage.</p>
