Archives

Archival processing of May Stevens’ and Rudolf Baranik’s personal archives began at the Joan Mitchell Foundation in early 2026, shortly after the hiring of Project Manager Fiona Laugharn and Archivist/Researcher Andrea Kutsenkow. A box-level survey of both artists’ personal papers is currently underway as well as a finding aid and select digitization. As the project continues, there will be several conversations with the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
