Elegy: Lament in the 20th Century
Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Pa., USA

There are almost 1000 images of Motherwell's studios (and occasionally his homes), dating from 1957 to 1991. The series documents the progress of his painting, early states of some works, and the order and groupings in which they were made.

As part of Motherwell's working process, he sometimes took multiple Polaroids of works in progress and painted over them, experimenting with different compositions and color combinations. This series contains over two hundred Polaroids of thirty-nine different paintings, most from the 1980s.

These slides are divided into two sections with the bulk of them from his time as a professor at Hunter College and when he lectured as a guest at other venues for various events. These slides seem not to be arranged in any particular way, but their order on the original slide carousel and storage boxes was maintained. There is a preponderance of slides of Picasso’s work because Motherwell taught courses on Picasso, but there are
many of other modernist artists’ works. The second set of slides was divided into four parts by Motherwell for a series of lectures he gave in 1977.

Photographs of individual artworks make up about eighty percent of the photograph archive, totalling more than 24,000 photographs in a various formats-transparencies, prints, slides, polaroids, and negatives. This series contains images of nearly all works of art that Motherwell made. In a number cases, there are photographs of the work in progress or earlier states of a piece in addition to the final image. The series is arranged in two subseries: Unique Works (paintings, collages, paintings on paper, and drawings) and Prints (including monotypes, unique proofs and tapestries).
