Materials in this collection comprise notes, transcriptions, photocopies, correspondence and other papers as well as audiotapes and videotapes assembled by Madeline L. Cohen during the course of her years of research on the work of Edmund N. Bacon. The earliest item in the collection is a paper written by Cohen as a history of art student in the University of Pennsylvania in 1973, for a course taught by Bacon in the Graduate School of Fine Arts. Most of the material dates from the late 1980s and early 1990s when Cohen was preparing her Ph.D. dissertation on Bacon's work. In a period when Bacon's work was controversial, Cohen gained his trust and was given many long interviews as well as liberal access to his papers, some of which are found transcribed in the collection. The collection contains a comprehensive set of Cohen's interviews with Bacon and others, dated 1988-1993. It does not contain original personal papers of Bacon or original documents related to his professional work.
Individual holding records for this collection are available on the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings website. |
