PAALEN WOLFGANG: (1905-1959) Austrian-Mexican Painter, associated with the Surrealist movement from 1935-42 and again from 1951-54. An extremely rare A.L.S., Wolfgang (twice), four pages (separate leaves), 4to, Villa Obregon, Mexico, 25th October & 27th November 1945, to Gigi [Richter]. Paalen writes a lengthy, informative and interesting letter, on the occasion of Richter's return to England from America, beginning by sending a letter of introduction (no longer present) for Henry Moore and offering congratulations 'to your acquisitions of drawings of his - you are certainly right in your feelings for him, he is a most wonderful person', continuing to suggest an introduction to Roland Penrose ('but I am not certain what kind of a person he has become….'), recommending meeting Arthur Koestler and urging her to read Darkness at Noon and The Yogi and the Commissar, remarking 'I do not know Koestler personally, but consider him as one of the most remarkable people; he started as a rather vulgar journalist (and his first book is lousy) but is now a brilliant writer'. Paalen further writes 'I suppose you found in Anais Nin a sisterly soul for complaining about a country which you definitely do not like…Charles Givors is my alter ego and I had some fun with this alias. The book in question will be a kind of “secret” book about Mexico, so deep, that it will be transparent and pass entirely unnoticed', and also informs Richter 'I have not seen Leonora Carrington for a while, she published a little piece in “Circle”; I heard her book is very good; do not know where it is going to be published (how carefully I answer all your questions!) Nierendorf: he is the only art-dealer I ever had to do with, who not only understands something about painting, but really cares for it and for whom money is not the end but only a means. I do not think he is only a man's man, it seems he has inspired violent passions to beautiful and celebrated women. I would suggest you should not remain on one unfavourable impression and try once more, he is really a most cultivated and charming person'. Paalen also agrees that a story about art restoration could be very original, and hopes that Richter will write it, and refers to the artist Sonja Sekula, and to his wife, Alice Rahon, 'I can not blame Sonja too much; Alice too, during her stay in New York, got the impression that you did not care for her very much'. The final page of the letter is dated 27th November and Paalen apologises for the delay as he had lost Henry Moore's address, also remarking that 'What I heard in the meantime about Roland Penrose, does not make me feel like writing to him'. In a substantial postscript, again signed Wolfgang, the artist thanks Richter for a beautiful book on prehistoric cave painting ('I enjoy it very much, no other book could give me a greater pleasure in my present mood') and also refers to a proposed edition of his art journal DYN, stating 'The next number, which is very much delayed, will be an important double-number and appear in connection with a series of exhibitions concerning the new concept of space in painting. I try to do my best, but have to stick to painting more than before'. A letter of extraordinarily fine content. VGIrmingard Emma Antonia Richter (1922-2020) German-born art restorer, better known as Gigi Richter. Described as 'the doyenne of picture restorers throughout the 1940s and 1950s' Richter attended art school in New York after leaving Europe at the outbreak of World War II. She then pursued art conservation studies at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. During this time she met Paalen, his wife Alice and the artist Sonja Sekula, before moving back to England at the end of 1945 (from which time the present letter dates). Paalen's letter of introduction to Henry Moore was evidently successful; Richter rented the artist's flat in London, previously occupied by Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicolson, and the two continued to enjoy a close friendship. Richter was to pursue art restoration in London until changing career paths to become a botanist in 1960.Autograph letters by Paalen, who died aged 54, are extremely rare and American Book Prices Current record no other example as having previously appeared at auction. It is hard to imagine a letter in existence with superior content to the present example, not least for its references to the artists and writers Henry Moore, Roland Penrose, Arthur Koestler, Anais Nin, Leonora Carrington, Sonja Sekula as well as the art dealer Karl Nierendorf (1889-1947) who opened his eponymous gallery in New York in 1937. Paalen's mention of a double number of the art magazine DYN, which he founded, and which was published in Mexico City and distributed in New York, Paris and London, would appear not to have come to fruition. Only six issues of DYN were published, the last in 1944.
