Description
Vladimir Horowitz (Russian-American, 1903-1989). A framed autograph display comprising a one-page typed letter signed and a signed portrait photograph. The letter, dated September 23, 1974, is on personal stationery addressed to Ken Stuart, Editorial Director at Schirmer Books. The text provides a polite refusal of an autobiography proposal. The black and white portrait photograph shows the artist in a tuxedo and bowtie. Both pieces are professionally presented in forest green and gold double matting within a gold-finished frame. Signatures of Vladimir Horowitz appear on the lower right of the letter in blue ink and in the lower margin of the photograph with the date 1984. A printed adhesive label for Island Art Center is attached to the verso. Frame: 17″ H x 9 3/4″ W.
Condition report:
The typed letter shows minor uniform toning consistent with age. The signature on the photograph is light. The gold-finished frame displays minor surface wear and several small nicks to the finish along the edges.
