Marie --  You might want to call the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore.  A
couple or three years ago they did a terrific collaboration with the
Maryland Art Instute called something like "Hanging with the Old Masters"
and artists used objects in the collection as a point of departure.

Also, when I visited the Getty last march there was a similar contemporary
exhibition there.  A large number of artists (a dozen or so?) created works
inspired by things in the Getty collections.  One of those places must have
copies of agreements or something...

Good luck.  Sounds great.
