"The Museum of Modern Art honored Frank O'Hara with a memorial edition of his poetry illustrated by artists who knew and loved him-foremost among them, William de Kooning. De Kooning made his drawings on mylar which he then presented to the Museum. A quarter of a century later, the mylar drawings were transferred to lithographic plates and printed under the supervision of the artist and the Museum of Modern Art solely in order to illustrate the Club's edition of those O'Hara poems that had so moved de Kooning. Seventeen of de Kooning's eighteen charcoal drawings are reproduced here for the first time as originally intended-with their subtle strokes and wide tonal range. De Kooning's drawings were transferred from their original mylar sheets to lithographic plates and printed on hand--made ochre?tinted Kitakata paper. Each print was torn by hand and pressed into the book's pages by the intaglio method." (From the publisher). LEC Bibliography. HBS 69340. $2,750. Signed.

Condition: Very Good+. New York: February 5th, 1962. Single-page autographed letter signed by de Kooning. Previous mail folds, housed in toned and postmarked envelope with punctures through all paper as though tacked up somewhere, else Very Good or better. Short letter to San Francisco-based photographer and artist Zoe Lowenthal Brown from de Kooning, who mentions being late on payment for a few photos, though he was "very happy with the photographs." He thanks her profusely and signs it "Bill de Kooning," which is common for his correspondence. The letter was sent a month before he officially became a U.S. citizen and a couple years after his first visit to San Francisco. While there is no way to know what the photographs in question were, or if he ever paid for them, it is most likely that these were photos done by Brown. She was known at the time for "odd juxtapositions" in her work that were "encountered and not arranged," like spooky children in Halloween masks trick-or-treating on California streets. She was a student of Minor White and worked as the assistant for Dorothea Lange for a time. While her work is not as well known today, de Kooning seemed to think they were good enough to "write.later for some more pictures.".
