Lucienne Ash collection

This collection consists of various archival materials that detail the process and work of Lucienne (Lucy Ash). There are several sets of materials showcasing the areas where Ash presented her work to the public. The collection contains two publications; one created by Ash and Mary Frost entitled Scanscapes and the Monterey Peninsula Guide with a photo from Ash on the cover. Ash donated two scrapbooks detailing the research she undertook in creating the Cibachrome Photochromatics series. These books contain the printed photos and select notes taken by Ash with each corresponding photo. Also found in the publications is a copy of a children's book that Ash used for her photograph series entitled Fairy Tales.

In terms of photographs, this collection is divided by positives and mounted photographs. There are over 140 positives that correspond to Ash’s work that the CCP has either in the Archive or the Fine Print Collection. This collection reflects Ash’s idiosyncratic style by having several series of works created by Ash during the late 20th century. These series include the abstract work of the Cibachrome Photochromatics series to the fantastical and unique look of her Ferry Tales/ Fairy Tales series and Model and Mannequin series.
