Posthumous correspondence, exhibitions and papers, 1986-1994
- Component identifier:
- Series 13
- Content Summary:
-
After Counihan's death in 1986, his wife Pat received numerous letters of condolence which are filed here with a list of correspondents. In subsequent years she continued to maintain contact with many of their former friends and associates, as well as liaising with curators about posthumous exhibitions of Counihan's work. Also of interest is a folder of correspondence with David Carter relating to research for his thesis 'A career in writing : Judah Waten and the cultural politics of a literary career'(1993).
A small amount of additional post-1986 correspondence of Pat Counihan can be found in Series 1 and 2.
- Immediate source of acquisition:
- In addition to the large body of papers amassed by Noel Counihan during his lifetime, his widow Pat continued to maintain records of exhibitions, books, correspondence and articles concerning her husband's art and career after his death in 1986. The resultant collection, which bears her numerous annotations, was extensively drawn upon by Bernard Smith for his biography Noel Counihan : artist and revolutionary (1993). Following publication of his study, Smith helped coordinate the transfer of the Counihan Papers to the Library, which were received in a single consignment in 1996.
