BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

Alexander W. Katlan is a fine painting conservator, his business being called Alexander Katlan Conservator, Inc., located in Flushing, New York.  Katlan received his master’s degree in fine arts conservation from Dominican University’s program at the Villa Schifanoia, near Florence, Italy.  He also has a master’s degree in art history from Queen’s College, City University of New York.  He studied micro-chemical analysis and art conservation microscopy at the McCrone Research Institute.  He is a member of both the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) and the International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (IIC).

 

Mr. Katlan has lectured and written articles and books.  He has particularly focused on artists’ materials, such as stretchers and boards, and on 19th century American suppliers of artists’ materials.  The paint suppliers were known as colormen.  He has also written several books about exhibits held by New York City’s Salmagundi Club.

 

Mr. Katlan is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Robert Katlan.

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

Research notes accumulated by Alexander Katlan, primarily for his books American Artists’ Materials Suppliers Directory, volumes I and II.  The papers also reflect his interest in marks found on stretchers and artists’ canvases, marks of foreign suppliers of artists’ materials found on American paintings, patents for canvas stretchers, labels on frames, colormen (makers and suppliers of paint for artists), and other information pertinent to studying sources of artists’ materials in 19th century United States.  Katlan acquired research notes from Jerome Nathans and built upon Nathans’ work.  Included in the collection are a draft and a copy of his thesis about 19th century New York City colormen, completed for Queen’s College of CUNY in 1986.  A copy of his article “Early Wood Fiber Panels: Masonite, Hardboard, and Lower Density Boards,” together with notes accumulated while researching this topic, are also found.  Index cards for colormen, artists’ materials suppliers, and artists are in Boxes 22-27.
