Hand signed letter of advice ("one either jumps into the water or doesn't")
By Jasper Johns
Located in New York, NY
Jasper Johns Letter ("one either jumps into the water or doesn't"), 1996 Hand signed letter framed on top of a Time Magazine cover depicting a work by the artist Hand signed by Jasper Johns underneath a typewritten letter by his secretary (JJ/st) Frame Included This listing consists of a typewritten letter, hand signed by Jasper Johns in response to one sent by the present addressee. While we do not see the fan's letter that prompted this response from Johns, it's not too difficult to guess, as Jasper Johns replies, stating, in part, "I wish I felt I could advise you but I can't. One either jumps in the water or doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any in-between." No truer words could have been spoken regarding the artist's life. Underneath this letter, is a vintage Time Magazine cover, presumably from the same year, depicting a Jasper Johns Flag...

By Jean-Pierre Guillermet
Located in Roma, IT
This is a Autograph Letter Signed by Jean-Pierre Guillermet to Nesto Jacometti. San José, March 15th, 1960. Three pages, double-sided. In French. Excellent conditions, perfectly readable. This is a long letter of report written from San José, Costa Rica, by the Swiss artist, Jean- Pierre Guillermet, to the Swiss graphic art editor and collector Nesto Jacometti. A letter thatt reveals the "adaptation" of the European artist in Costa Rica, a tropical island that ignores the engraving art.With more upcoming projects in San Paolo, Colombia, Guillermet is preparing for the birth of his frst child in France. Jean-Pierre Guillermet (Porrentruy, Switzerland, 1921- San José 2017) The Swiss artist, best-known as painter, wood-engraver, lithographer, he realized murals and tapestries.

Nesto Jacometti (Locarno, 1898- 1973) Nesto Jacometti is still today a fascinating figure of the Locano and International cultural scene of the last century. Collector and editor of graphic art, he was the promoter of two important editorial projects and adventures: the Guilde Internationale de la Gravure and L’Oeuvre Gravée. Born in Locarno at the end of the 19th century, at the age of 30 he left Ticino to move to Paris and immerse himself in the bohemian atmosphere of Montparnasse. The war forces him to return to Switzerland, to Geneva, where he works in the journalistic field and he knows figures as Albert Skira and Pierre Cailler. With the latter one a collaboration born and resulted, in 1949, in a printing guild: an edition of etchings and lithographs destined for a wide circulation of the Paris School.
