Double Entendre: New Works by Norman Kary and Judy Youngblood, 10 February-18 March 1995

This collection contains materials documenting Edith Baker's career as a gallereist and practicing artist. The arrangement follows this duality with series for personal and professional practice.

The personal series contains documentation of Baker's art practice, teaching and art-related affiliations. This includes sketchbooks, sculpture ideas, personal writings and notes, photographs of her artworks, exhibitions, teaching, and membership in the Texas Socity of Sculptors. The series also contains Baker's self-published memoir of her life. Files within the personal series start off with the memoir and are then arranged alphabetically by folder title.

The professional series contains documentation of Baker's professional education, service and awards as a Dallas gallerist. This includes her work as founder of DADA (Dallas Art Dealers Association) and EASL (Emergency Artist Support League), and reciept of the Legends Award in 1997. The bulk of the professional series is documentation of the Edith Baker Gallery, though. Gallery records include operations and exhibition files. Exhibition files may include: gallery mailing postcard, press release, clippings, artist CV, artist statements, and WRR Art Matters scripts. The collection documents Edith Baker Gallery exhibitions from 1985-1999; older exhibitions have more documentary materials.
