- Yves Poupard-Lieussou Correspondence and Collected Papers on Dada and Surrealism
French scholar of Dada and surrealism, and vice president of the Association pour l'Étude de Dada et du Surréalisme. Collection consists of correspondence received by Poupard-Lieussou from artists, writers, publishers, critics, and scholars, mainly 1956-1979. Includes bio-bibliographic notes, drawings, photographs, printed materials, and manuscripts (some unpublished or rare texts) given to Poupard by his correspondents or sometimes hand-copied by himself.
- [archive] Series I. Letters from artists and writers, 1912-1984 contains a.o. 20 letters and 2 cards (1956-1971). This correspondence gives a glimpse of Richter as both a practicing artist and an interpreter of Dada. In the first few letters, he answers Poupard's questions about Dada and its surviving members, particularly Schwitters. Richter discusses the film, 8 x 8 , that he is currently making. In later letters, he discusses the Dada exhibition that traveled to Zurich and Paris. He feels that, as a member of the original group, he, and not some scholar, should be in control of it. Richter also collaborates on the portfolio in homage to Duchamp, organized by Poupard in 1968.
