Contact seller5-star sellerFive Books, First Editions, First Printings. A terrific collection of books presented by David Hockney to his good friend, the great film director Billy Wilder, over the course of their friendship. Billy WilderÕs legendary status in Hollywood as a director, screenwriter, and producer includes such classic films as Ninotchka, Sun…set Boulevard, Double Indemnity, Some Like it Hot, The Seven Year Itch, The Lost Weekend, Stalag 17, The Apartment, and The Fortune Cookie. Wilder was also known as a great art collector and when Hockney moved to Los Angeles early in his career, Wilder quickly became an admirer and supporter. The five books are listed as follows: (1). David Hockney. London: Thames and Hudson, 1976. Signed from David Hockney to his good friend film director Billy Wilder. Inscribed by Hockney with an original drawing on the blank opposite the title page. Using red and blue inks, the full page signed drawing is a remarkable image of an apothecary teardrop display globe on a metal stand topped with an elaborate spiral finial topped with an American flag. In the lower right hand corner Hockney has signed the drawing with ÒDHÓ as he does on pieces he feels are regular finished drawings. On the title page, Hockney has inscribed the book to Wilder using the two inks alternating each color per letter. Inscribed: Òfor Billy Wilder, with admiration, David H.Ó (2) David Hockney - A Retrospective. Los Angeles County Museum of Art - Harry N. Abrams, 1995. Presentation copy Inscribed by Hockney with original drawings in a two page spread incorporating the blank left page and the printed half-title. On the left page is an ink portrait of Billy Wilder which Hockey has connected to printed half-title where he has taken the printed words ÒDAVID HOCKNEY - A RETROSPECTIVE then drawn a rectangle around them to make a canvas sitting on an elaborate easel. Above the printed words Hockney has written ÒTo BillyÓ and below has written Òlove and admiration for your contribution.Ó (3) David Hockney - A Drawing Retrospective. London: Royal Academy of Arts with Thames & Hudson, 1995. Inscribed by Hockney with an original ink drawing encompassing the inside blank cover and the first blank in a two page spread. The ink drawing shows a large hand holding up a sign on a stick which reads ÒDavid Hockney - A Drawing Retrospective for Billy & Audrey, love, David H.Ó To the left of the hand & sign Hockney has drawn, one of his beloved dachshunds [which are pictured in the drawings in the book as well as in as the frontispiece photograph of Hockney holding his two dogs]. (4) David Hockney. Photographs. London: Petersburg Press, 1982. David HockneyÕs own unbound sample advance copy given to Hockney by his publisher which he then presented to his friend film director Billy Wilder. Inscribed by Hockney handpainting the inscription with brushes on the title page using green, red, and blue acrylic paint alternating the letters each time with a different color: ÒFor Billy with love from David H.Ó And on the front flyleaf in red and blue paint Hockney has painted: Òsorry its not bound.Ó (5) David Hockney: Paintings and Photographs of Paintings. With an Interview with David Hockney by Piet de Jonge. Rotterdam, The Netherlands: Museum Boymans-Van Beuningen, 1995. Signed and inscribed by the Hockney to Mr. Wilder and his wife on the front endpapers: Òfor Billy and Audrey, Much love, David H.Ó The Òfor Billy and AudreyÓ part of HockneyÕs inscription is lettered in the style of his writing which appears on the title page - block letters with little shadows as if the letters were standing upright on the page. The ÒandÓ part of the inscription between ÒBillyÓ and ÒAudreyÓ is written in cursive, also with little shadows - Òmuch loveÓ and HockneyÕs signature is written on a drawing of a tented card, also drawn as if meant to appear to be standing on the page. Both the front and rear endpapers are printed drawings by Hockney, of an interior gallery space with paintings filling the far wall, and with two chairs in the foreground, done in red and black line drawings. Hockney has done his inscription to the Wilders across the long length of the endpaper in the foreground. All five books are each enclosed in morocco leather and marbled clamshell boxes. Further information is available to those seriously interested.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. First Edition. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a touchstone of American theater. After reading this play, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to Wilder comparing OUR TOWN to Homer's ODYSSEY and Shakespeare's HAMLET, stating: "That an American of the present day can create with such delicacy and detachment touche…s the soul like a miracle." This is a wonderful Association Copy between two giants of American culture who happened to share the same last name. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author in the year of publication on the title page to Hollywood director Billy Wilder: "For Billy/from Thornton/relative by/choice/Hollywood/Aug. 1938." Though it appears Billy Wilder (born Samuel Wilder) and Thornton Wilder never worked together, there is an interesting anecdote from very early in Billy's career. After leaving Berlin and arriving in Hollywood in 1934 with little money, he sent to his family in Europe clippings about Thornton Wilder's THE BRIDGE OVER SAN LUIS REY telling them that he had changed his first name to "Thornton." His mother learned the truth when she bought the book and saw the author's picture. According to a much later interview with Billy Wilder, she took it well and responded that she never liked that other fellow Wilder's stuff very much. Billy and Thornton would first meet shortly before inscribing this book on 7 July 1938 when they would have lunch together leaving Billy impressed by the "Aryan quality of Thornton's humor" (SLIDE, Anthony: "IT'S THE PICTURES THAT GOT SMALL": CHARLES BRACKETT ON BILLY WILDER AND HOLLYWOOD'S GOLDEN AGE, page 120). Later that year in December they would dine again, this time in Boston with Alexander Woolcott, where Billy would see Thornton's THE MERCHANT OF YONKERS. His feelings about Thornton's humor changed: "a distressing play to me, all fake naivete, too, too great a desire to be funny" (ibid, page 128). Billy Wilder was an Austrian-born American film director and screenwriter whose career spanned more than five decades. He had his first hit when he co-wrote the screenplay for the romantic comedy NINOTCHKA, starring Greta Garbo. He won two Academy Awards for THE LOST WEEKEND (for Director and Screenplay), one for SUNSET BOULEVARD (Screenplay), and an unprecedented three for THE APARTMENT (Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay). He also received nominations for DOUBLE INDEMNITY, STALAG 17, WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION, SOME LIKE IT HOT, THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH, and others. Small Hollywood bookstore label pasted to rear pastedown; some sunning to edges of cloth. About Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper with light chipping to the spine tips.
