Excellent conditions, including original envelopes. Perfectly readable, on ivory colored paper. In details: A.L.S. Rovetta, October 1937. One page-single-sided A.L.S. Rovetta, May 22nd 1938. One page, single-sided, including an autograph quittance of a Tosi's Still Life sold to the Countess. A.L.S. July 24th 1938. One page-single-sided. Including Beatrice Tosi's business card with autograph notes of greetings. With an upset and fluid calligraphy, the Italian artist writes these greeting letters, pinning with some logistic details for an exhibition in Amsterdam, sold of his artworks and business trips. Turning to his mentor, Arturo Tosi sometimes has to decline the Countess invitations and talks about a new Countess commission. Arturo Tosi (Busto Arsizio, 1871- Milan, 1956) Born in Busto Arsizio (Varese), Arturo Tosi attended the school of nude at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts from 1890 to 1891. He made his debut at the 1st Esposizione Triennale di Belle Arti in 1891 and attracted the attention of Vittore Grubicy, who steered him towards the late 19th-century Lombard tradition. Specialising in landscapes of the valleys around Bergamo, he presented artworks at the national exhibition held in Milan to mark the inauguration of the Sempione tunnel in 1906. His participation in the Venice Biennale began in 1909 with the 8th Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte della Città di Venezia and continued uninterruptedly until 1956. The starting point of his work is the Lombard romanticism, later, through the study of Cèzanne and A. Monticelli, he approaches Impressionism. Continuing the tradition of Lombard naturalism, filtered through the impressionist experience, he made his debut with works characterized by a certain Cézannian constructive rigor. Between the end of the 1800s and the first decade of the 1900s there is talk of the "alcoholic" period, with works that feature bright and virulent colors, suggesting Sout's anticipations. Tosi came into contact with the critic Margherita Sarfatti in the 1920s and held his first solo show in 1923 at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan. He served on the Novecento Italiano governing committee and took part in the movement’s first and second exhibitions (Milan, 1926 and 1929) as well as those held outside Italy. One of the most respected Italian painters from the 1930s on, he became a member of the Academy of San Luca in 1943. He died in Milan in 1956.

    By Alexander Liberman
    Located in New York, NY
    Alexander Liberman, hand signed and inscribed by both Alexander Liberman and Barbara Rose, and accompanied by a separate hand signed note, 1981 Hardback monograph (hand signed and inscribed by Alexander Liberman as well as art historian Barbara Rose), plus accompanied by a separate handwritten card signed by Liberman in the original envelope Warmly signed and inscribed on the monograph and card by Alexander Liberman and hand signed by Barbara Rose on the first front end page 13 1/4 × 12 1/4 × 1 3/4 inches A unique and memorable gift for any collector or fan of the sculptor Alexander Liberman! This lavishly illustrated hardback monograph with dust jacket is warmly signed and inscribed on the first front end page by both Alexander Liberman and the author, art historian, Barbara Rose, and it is accompanied by a separate handwritten card, signed by Alexander Liberman and held in the original envelope. (see photos). The book and card was inscribed to Jack Haber, the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Gentlemen's Quarterly (GQ) from 1969 to 1983. GQ was owned by Conde Nast, and Alexander Liberman, who worked for Conde Nast for 32 years, was the Editorial Director from 1962-1983.

Hardcover. Bound in publisher's original white cloth with spine and front cover stamped in black. Full color illustrations throughout, including several color foldouts. 392 pages. About Alexander Liberman: Considered a revolutionary Minimalist artist, Alexander Liberman produced works that predated the movement by more than a decade. Liberman, not wanting to limit himself to any one form of expression, worked to produce radically minimalist paintings and sculpture in order to illuminate his beliefs about celestial motion, the movement of the eye, as well as human sexuality. The artist’s fascination with American industrialization and modernization ultimately resulted in his widely known red steel sculptures and geometric paintings, which seem to decompose the turbulence of the time period. Alexander Liberman was born in 1912 in Kiev, Russia. He studied first in London and then in Paris. He took courses in philosophy and mathematics at the Sorbonne and architecture at L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Liberman has had numerous solo exhibitions at museums such as the Jewish Museum, New York (1966); Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, NY (1970); and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (1970). His sculpture and paintings are included in the museum collections of the Art Institute, Chicago; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; the Tate Gallery, London and many others. Additionally his public sculpture can be seen in over 40 cities around the world including Honolulu, Los Angeles, Miami, New Haven, New York, Oklahoma City and Philadelphia. Alexander Liberman died in November of 1999 at the age of 87. - Courtesy of Mitchell-Innes & Nass About Barbara Rose: Barbara Ellen Rose (June 11, 1936 – December 25, 2020) was an American art historian, art critic, curator and college professor. Rose's criticism focused on 20th-century American art, particularly minimalism and abstract expressionism, as well as Spanish art. "ABC Art...
