The programs of the Foundation reflect the interests and patronage of its founders, Gladys Krieble Delmas and Jean Paul Delmas. Gladys Krieble Delmas grew up in an academic family and studied at Vassar College, the Sorbonne, and Cambridge University. She worked as a journalist, broadcasting on French national radio, serving as literary editor for Presses de la Cité, and publishing in American journals and newspapers. Throughout her life she retained a lively interest in belles lettres, art criticism, and political analysis. Jean Paul Delmas, a graduate of French schools including the Paris Conservatory, was a successful publisher and businessman. An ardent reader and a talented linguist, he commanded five European languages and studied Japanese. Many aspects of the humanities and performing arts interested him; music and dance were his great enthusiasms.

The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation (521 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1612, New York 10175-1699) promotes the advancement and perpetuation of humanistic inquiry and artistic creativity by encouraging excellence in scholarship and in the performing arts, and by supporting research libraries and other institutions which transmit our cutlural heritage.

The B.H. Breslauer Foundation, Empire State Building, suite 7210, 350 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10118, Telephone: +33622-047580 (F. de Marez Oyens). Contact.

The Foundation is a private charitable foundation under Sec 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its main purpose is to give grants to libraries and not-for-profit institutions that collect rare books and manuscripts and are domiciled in the United States and to U.S. affiliates of foreign institutions that constitute “Charitable Organizations” under the Internal Revenue Code.

The Foundation’s Board of Directors will accept requests for grants from Institutional Libraries to help fund major acquisitions of manuscripts, printed books and bookbindings.

Applications for grants to make specific acquisitions can be made by correspondence or e-mail, and urgent requests may even be made by telephone. They should be accompanied by as much relevant documentation as possible on the desired acquisition, as well as precise information on provenance and price. Because of the nature of the rare book market and the auction process, the officers of the Foundation realize that effective decisions often need to be made promptly. Under any circumstances, their decisions will be final.

La Galleria Nella Longari di Milano propone una nuova iniziativa rivolta ai giovani storici dell’arte che abbiamo meno di 30 anni. La proposta di Ruggero e Mario Longari è quella di scegliere un’opera d’arte custodita in un museo, non ancora attribuita, e produrre una scheda di approfondimento che la collochi nel suo contesto e ne proponga una lettura stilistica e cronologica. Il termine per l’invio della scheda in formato cartaceo, con accluso un curriculum vitae, è il 31 maggio 2009. All’autore della scheda vincente (decretata tale da una giuria di esperti del settore), verrà riconosciuto un «contributo alla ricerca svolta». La scheda sarà pubblicata sul prossimo numero della rivista della Galleria, “Spunti per conversare”.
