CMST 10-11/ Series : Ivan Mestrovic Commissions
Correspondence with prospective clients, architects, and other artists
concerning sculptures that Mestrovic was commissioned to produce. The
series includes correspondence from projects that were completed and from
those that never got past the planning stage. Topics discussed include the
nature of the artwork requested, the way the work was to fit into the
architecture of a prospective site, legal and financial arrangements, and
work schedules. A few of the project files also include contracts and
reports, clippings, and brochures that describe the purpose of the building
or memorial as well as the group that is commissioning the work. Projects
discussed include sculpture for the National Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception in Washington D.C., the Chicago Indians sculpture, and an
American memorial to Jewish victims of World War II, which was never
realized. Similar correspondence can be found in the correspondence series,
especially for projects that were routinely turned down by Mestrovic. The
Mestrovic papers also include architectural plans relating to some of the
commissions documented in this series (they are stored with the Archives'
other oversize architectural drawings and plans).
