Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Includes correspondence written by and sent to Kazuya Sakai. Sakai's role in Plural was two-fold: he acted as Jefe de Redacción (Editor in Chief) and Artistic Director, in charge of the aesthetic look of the magazine. Sakai's correspondence reflects a stronger concentration in the arts with correspondence to visual artists, critics, gallerists, and dealers such as Dore Ashton, Jacqueline Barnitz, Fermín Fèvre, Marta Traba, Damián Bayón, and Carmen Waugh. Note: Individuals who have more than three pieces of correspondence present in the collection are given their own file and are filed alphabetically. Individuals with two or less pieces of correspondence present in the collection are filed in letter files (A-Z files), and are sorted alphabetically within each letter file. There are few exceptions, based on notable individuals.
