Grateful & fortunate to now have a decades- long collection of exhibition catalogues from the private collection of Elsa Longhauser & her illustrious career as a Director of galleries & museums. Many of these catalogues were also designed by her husband William Longhauser.
Elsa Longhauser is the founding executive director of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA), formerly the Santa Monica Museum of Art (SMMoA), where Longhauser served as director from 2000 until the museum ended operations in Bergamot Station in 2015. From 1983 until 2000, Longhauser served as director of the Goldie Paley Gallery at the Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
These catalogues will be available at Attic 506 in Chapel Hill & gradually added to the web store as well.
