2016156996Venezia: Marsilio 2016. Grey/color-illus. wraps; white lettering on grey spine. Acetate half wrapper with white lettering. Text in Italian. Catalogue from the exhibition held at Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi Firenze 19 March - 24 July 2016. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero the exhibition - the result of a cooperative venture involving the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York - offered visitors a unique opportunity to compare and contrast the crucial work of European masters of modern art such as Marcel Duchamp Max Ernst Man Ray and Pablo Picasso and European masters of so-called Art Informel or "Unformed Art" such as Alberto Burri Emilio Vedova Jean Dubuffet Lucio Fontana with large paintings and sculptures by some of the most important personalities on the American art scene in the 1950s and 1960s such as Jackson Pollock Mark Rothko Willem de Kooning Alexander Calder Roy Lichtenstein and Cy Twombly. Devoting an exhibition to the Guggenheim collections means telling the fast-paced story of the birth of the Neo-Avant-Garde movements after World War II in a tight and uninterrupted interplay between European and American artists. But producing such an exceptional exhibition in Florence also means celebrating a very special tie that goes back a long way because it was precisely in the Palazzo Strozzi's Strozzina undercroft that Peggy Guggenheim who had only recently arrived in Europe decided in February 1949 to show the collection that was later to find a permanent home in Venice. The large paintings sculptures engravings and photographs on display at Palazzo Strozzi on loan from the Guggenheim collections in New York and Venice and from other leading international museums paint a vast fresco of the extraordinarily heady season of 20th century art in which Peggy and Solomon Guggenheim played such a key role. - from the Palazzo Strozzi web site.

10127Used; Like New/Used; Like New. A fascinating and important collection of autograph letters and telegrams to the important American composer dating from the premieres of his two operas Vanessa 1958 and Antony and Cleopatra 1966. Included are autograph letters from Aaron Copland John Browning who premiered Barber's Piano Concerto Rosalind Elias the original Erika in Vanessa and Charmain in Antony and Cleopatra Ignace Strasvogel and other friends and admirers and telegrams from Leonard Bernstein Martha Graham Jerome Robbins W. H. Auden Noel Coward and many others.<br style="">While Vanessa with libretto by Menotti won Barber the 1958 Pulitzer Prize for music Antony and Cleopatra written for the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center was not well-received. Franco Zeffirelli chosen to write the libretto and stage the opera weighed down the production with over-the-top scenery animals and extras; technical difficulties marred the opening night. As Barber departed New York for Italy the very next morning his years of success had for the most part come to an end. The 1966 letters to Barber reflect his unhappy state with many of his friends consoling him over the bad reviews and assuring him that his music transcended the problems of staging.<br style="">Included are:<br style="">88 telegrams sending best wishes and congratulations on the première of Vanessa in 1958 sent by W. H. Auden Noel Coward Aaron Copland Leonard Bernstein Jerome Robbins John Browning Frank O'Hara Stephen Spender Martha Graham Erich Leinsdorf Antal Dorati Andre Kostelanetz Regina Reznik "Your old Baroness" Roberta Peters G. Schirmer Lillian Gish Max Rudolf Samuel Chotzinoff the heads of ASCAP and NBC and many other luminaries and friends.<br style="">3 letters about Vanessa two ALS and one TLS dated January 1958. One from Roberta Peters celebrated Met coloratura thanking Barber for sending her some music mentioning that she is looking forward to learning Barber's song "Nuvoletta" and wishing him good luck for Vanessa 2 pp.; one from Eleanor Belmont a member of the Metropolitan Opera board congratulating Barber on the premiere 1 p.; and one from a music student William Gordon expressing his love for the opera and asking where he can obtain the score 1 p. typed and undated.<br style="">19 letters mostly autograph with one TLS to Barber from before and after the 1966 premiere of Antony and Cleopatra. Dated September-November 1966. Letters are from: Ignace Strasfogel 1 p; John Browning 3 pp.; Rosalind Elias 2 pp.;  John Barrows 1 p.; Aaron Copland wishing Barber the best for the opening 1 p. with original envelope; David Johnson from Time-Life Records 2 pp.; C. W. Bailey 3 pp.; Dick 1 p.; Ellie Frankfurter 3 pp.; an unidentified correspondent in Russian 1 p.; Nina Fassler 1 p.; Lisette Lewis and another correspondent in one airmail letter from South Africa 3 pp.; Andrew Chiappe 2 pp.; Channing Way Jr a West Chester friend1 p.; Katy Katsoyanis mentioning Dimitri Mitropoulos 1 p.; "Chandler" 1 p.; Edith Jackson Barber's old school teacher from West Chester! 2 pp.; Horace P. Halsing from West Chester 1 p.; Mrs. Henry Holt 3 pp.  Also included is one letter about the premiere addressed to "Bill" from "Ed" on the letterhead of the St. Thomas Aquinas Rectory Chicago; and an envelope addressed to Barber letter missing from Sol Schoenbach postmarked October 31 1966.<br style="">Also included are 2 telegrams sent to Barber at the Metropolitan Opera House on the occasion of the premiere of Antony and Cleopatra. One is from an Ada Camillo congratulating Barber on behalf of all Cadegliano Menotti's hometown in Lombardy. The other reads "Love the story hated the music I think you are an American disgrace. Frank Terez 17" - a comic reaction to Barber's music but one that may have hit a nerve unknown books

A very scarce sale catalogue fully priced and with a number of buyers' names in a contemporary hand apparently offering the fruits of this collector or dealer's travels in the Netherlands. The title-page of the British Library copy bears an inscription that identifies the consigner as "Barbier Md. de Tableaux" but we cannot be certain whether this is the provenance for the entirety of the sale. This sale's expert Charles Paillet notes in the introduction that only a few pictures have been varnished and the rest have not been cleaned or restored. The present catalogue describes 115 lots of Northern paintings with works by van Eyck I. van Ostade T. Wyck Teniers Hoet van Huysum Bakhuizen and Steen along with pictures attributed to S. Ruysdael Hobbema W. van Mieris Cuyp I. van Goyen etc. The pencil annotations provide the hammer prices and several names of winning bidders. A nice copy with the original wrappers preserved.
