About This Item
1963. Sheet (28 x 21.5 cm).. “June 22, 1963. Dear Hansjoachim, I gave Vostell several photos of my work and of happenings which he brought back to Europe. Can you borrow these from him or do you want some others? Write me directly at the address below: Yours, Claes Oldenburg. Store 107 E. 2nd St. New York 9, N.Y. U.S.A.” Oldenburg has signed the letter in blue pen. Original mailing envelope with imprint of the artist’s Ray Gun Manufacturing Company. Also present is a vintage black-and-white photograph (17.5 x 23.5 cm) of an early painted ceramic ‘coffee cup and saucer’ by Oldenburg. The photo is torn and creased and has been mounted on card. This is accompanied by a further typed letter from Oldenburg, dated October 3, 1963, “Here is another copy of the coffee cup if you can still use it. If you can’t use it, will you give it to Vostell to bring back … I am in California now and I may stay here through the winter, It is a place full of inspriation”.
