 File — Box: 1, Folder: 3

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection contains materials about two artists, Agatha Wojciechowsky and Nek Chand. The bulk of the materials relate to Wojciechowsky, her work, as well as O’Neal’s relationship with her. These include press about Wojciechowsky, a book of her automatic writing, and a piece of writing and video documentary O'Neal created. The documentary is contained in this collection on various magnetic and digital media. It has been digitized and is available to view online. This online version contains O'Neal's commentary, which was added after he created the film. Materials about the artist Nek Chand include photographs and a printed souvenir book and articles about the Rock Garden of Chandigarh. These materials were presumably created or compiled during a trip that O'Neal took to the site around 1978.
