art researcher needed at Smithsonian for small project

750 9th St NW near H St, Washington DC

Description

Arizona resident needs someone to do in-person research at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. I recently bought a painting at Goodwill. On the back is a label from the "Little Gallery" in Birmingham, Michigan, which was owned by Peggy de Salle. The Smithsonian has a collection of papers and data from the Little Gallery and Ms. de Salle. I would like to find someone familiar with doing research at the Smithsonian, to look for information on the artist and the painting and send me a report on what they find. I will send photographs of the front and back of the painting. Please reply with your minimum price if no info is found, and an approximate price if detailed info is found. Also if you could include a description of your experience, that would be helpful. Good opportunity for someone like a student or teacher, who can do a small, independent research project at the Smithsonian!
