Box 1.5

Includes seventeen letters from Eppie Lederer, one of which is a facsimile. The letters concern Lederer’s support for Mulnix’s stand on the Michigan Council for the Arts, and the health of a mutual friend, Wilbur Munnecke.

Details Mulnix’s controversial tenure on the Council during which she advocated a more equitable distribution of arts funding throughout the entire state of Michigan. The majority on the Council supported a few, well-financed projects rather than many, less financed projects. On May 10, 1974, the Council censored Mulnix for her vocal opposition and as a result Governor William Milliken did not reappoint Mulnix to another term on the Council.

Robert Osborn, a cartoonist, was a friend of Calder’s from Connecticut.

Mulnix correspondence is diverse, including a large portion related to the duties of the original Vandenberg Center Project, including those from several notables. There are later letters, as well, usually of support for a Calder related anniversary or honors project.
