Biographical/Historical Note

Hilton Kramer was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, on March 25, 1928. He was graduated from Syracuse University in 1950 and did post-graduate work at the New School for Social Research (1950), Columbia University (1951), Harvard University (1951), and the Indiana University (1952). In 1953 the Partisan Review published his first piece of art criticism. His first appointment was as editor for Arts Magazine, where he worked from 1955-1961. He then served as art critic for the Nation (1962-1963) and as art critic and associate editor for the New Leader (1964-1965). In 1965, Kramer began a nearly twenty-year association with the New York Times, initially as art news editor, then, beginning in 1973, as art critic. In 1982 Kramer left the Times to co-found and edit his own magazine, the New Criterion, with Samuel Lipman. Today he continues as editor and publisher at the New Criterion and also serves as art critic for the New York Observor. Throughout his professional career, Kramer has lectured frequently at academic institutions and museums. He has also served on the faculty at the Indiana University, the University of Colorado at Boulder, Bennington College, and Yale University's School of Drama. Additionally he has sat on the board of trustees for the New York Studio School. Kramer has been a contributor to many publications, including Commentary, the New Republic, the New York Review of Books, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Partisan Review, Modern Painters, the London Times Literary Supplement, the New York Post ("Times Watch" and "Media Watch" series) and Arts and Antiques. In 1970, Kramer received the Elsie O. and Philip D. Sang Prize for Critics of the Fine Arts. In 1973 he was awarded an honorary doctorate in humanities from Syracuse University and in 2004 was a National Endowment for the Humanities medalist. Hilton Kramer died on March 26, 2012; he is survived by his wife, Esta Kramer (nee Teich)

Scope and Content

Chiefly professional papers (bulk 1960-2002) documenting Kramer's career as art critic for a number of newspapers and periodicals, including the New York Times (1965-1982), as author of several monographs on art history and as contributor to numerous other publications. Included are correspondence, subject files, newspaper and other clippings, published works, art exhibition files, and typescript drafts. Both subject files and "writings" files often include background information, such as articles written by others, museum and gallery catalogs, photoprints, and manuscript notes. Notable correspondents include Ansel Adams (August 14, 1977); Robert Altman (January 18, 1977); Josephine Herbst (for whose estate Kramer served as executor); Gregory Masurovsky; and Robert Motherwell (June 11, 1969; October 3, 1976; July 5, 1977; October 14, 1982; December 22, 1982; May 8, 1985). Frequent correspondents include Stanley Burnshaw, Daniel Curley, Joseph (Mike) Epstein, Elinor Langer, James Lord, Aleksis Rannit, Howard Rogovin, Roger W. Straus, Jr., Jerry L. Thompson, and Eliot Wagner. Absent from the collection are files documenting Kramer's involvement with the New Criterion.

Arrangement:

Arranged chronologically.

Series Description:

This series contains correspondence both to and from Hilton Kramer. Because Kramer's personal and professional lives intertwine, letters often contain both personal and professional content. While the letters reflect a myriad of topics, many letters request Kramer's participation in events or solicit writings for publication; some small number include his replies. There are a number of letters written to Kramer upon his resignation from the "New York Times". There is frequent correspondence with a small number of close friends of Kramer including Joseph Epstein, Stanley Burnshaw, and Daniel Curley. Kramer had a long friendship with the writer Josephine Herbst and served as executor of her estate (both personal and literary) upon her death in 1969. There are numerous letters between Kramer and Herbst, as well as letters between Kramer and various individuals with interests in Herbst's estate.

Series Description:

This series contains exhibition catalogs, slides, press releases, photographs, and articles. Presumably, much of the information in the files reflects research for articles written by Kramer (some of these articles may be found in the Writings series). The subject files also contain many photographic prints of artwork and a number of files relating to Josephine Herbst, both under her own name and under the name of her biographer, Elinor Langer. There are also scattered materials of a more biographical nature, including Kramer's curriculum vitae and a few brief travel diaries. Also included are manuscripts of other writers that Kramer was asked to read.
