85012Rome GA: 1908.

Old folds; lightly browned; Very Good. <br /> <br /> Maddox a Confederate veteran and five-term Congressional Representative for Georgia 1893-1905 writes seeking appointment to the Commission in charge of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park which as part of its charter required that at least one Confederate veteran be a member: ".As you know I was a Confederate soldier; and I was in the battle of Chickamauga before I was sixteen years old. The Chickamauga Battlefield is in my old Judicial Circuit when I was Judge of the Superior Court and it is in the District which I represented in Congress for twelve years.I would certainly take great pride as I always have done heretofore in the protection and care of this great National Park and I feel that if you would be kind enough to write or tell the President who I am and what you know of me as a Representative in Congress it would go a long way in securing the appointment." On verso is Cannon's holograph statement addressed to "the President" supplying the requested recommendation: ".John W. Maddox was for several terms a Democratic member of Congress from Georgia. He was one of the most efficient members of the minority & while a good partisan had the ability & courage to distinguish between partisanship & legislature.if I had the authority I would appoint Mr. Maddox" signed "JG Cannon" dated 9/11 1908. unknown
19692925Abiquiu New Mexico: np 1969. first edition. Fine. GEORGIA O’KEEFFE AS ART DEALER FOR HER OWN WORK: A fascinating correspondence between O’Keeffe and disgraced art dealer Andrew Crispo revealing O’Keeffe’s reluctance to sell her paintings. On September 27 1969 the 24-year-old art dealer Andrew Crispo who later became infamous through his connection with the “Death Mask Murder†case visited O’Keeffe at her home in Abiquiu New Mexico. While there Crispo – perhaps trying to make a big splash in the art world – negotiated with O’Keeffe to purchase three of her paintings: “Lake George – Blue†for $6000; “White Birches†for $40000; “Mule’s Skull and Pink Poinsetta†for $50000. The first letter in the correspondence dated September 29 is from O’Keeffe to Crispo outlining the terms for the sale of “Lake George – Blue†for $6000. This is no simple sale however – Crispo wants payment terms and O’Keeffe outlines them here: $100 paid already $1900 due in January 1970; $2000 in January 1971; $2000 in January 1972.<br /> <br /> The most interesting part of the letter however is O’Keeffe reluctance to let go of her work. She proposes a deal where she has the right of first refusal to buy it back from Crispo for $6000 should he wish to sell it to anyone. She originally wanted no time limit on this but Crispo successfully negotiated a window reflected in a “Note†at the bottom of the letter of four years for O’Keeffe’s right of first refusal. This letter signed by both O’Keeffe and Crispo retains its original envelope with September 30 1969 postmark.<br /> <br /> The negotiations get more complicated when considering two significantly more expensive O’Keeffe paintings. In an October 2 1969 letter from Crispo included here he notes that he gave her deposits $100 each on the two paintings and understood the checks and their verbal agreement bound her to sell the painting “White Birches†for $40000 and “Skull and Poinsettas†later renamed “Mule’s Skull and Pink Poinsetta†for $50000. O’Keeffe was clearly getting uncomfortable with the sale of these paintings; hence Crispo’s insistence that the deal had been made.<br /> <br /> This hesitancy comes to the fore in the final letter signed by O’Keeffe in the collection. Dated December 11 1969 the letter – after confirming the details of the “Lake George†sale reads in part:<br /> <br /> “You may recall that when we first met I told you that I did not wish to sell any paintings. As I have thought things over it seems best to leave things that way. I would rather keep the two paintings than send them to you.â€<br /> <br /> She then notes that she is returning his two checks for $100 deposits on the paintings and the two torn checks are included with this letter along with the original envelope.<br /> <br /> O’Keeffe at the time of this letter was 82 years old and it is surprising that she turned down a substantial amount of money for the two paintings. The $90000 for the two paintings is approximately $760000 in today’s dollars. Perhaps she really couldn’t bear to let them go or perhaps she sensed something unsavory about Andrew Crispo. In 1969 Crispo had been working at New York City’s ACA Galleries and was likely laying the foundation for his namesake gallery which he opened a few years later but in the 1980s and 90s Crispo became notorious for his involvement in the gruesome “Death Mask Murder†case and later served time in prison for extortion.<br /> <br /> Over time all three paintings passed through various private collections. “Lake George - Blue†the only painting Crispo successfully purchased from O’Keeffe remains in a private collection. “White Birches†is now housed at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth Texas while “Mule’s Skull with Pink Poinsetta†is part of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum’s collection in Santa Fe New Mexico.<br /> <br /> ––––––––<br /> <br /> In total this archive includes two O’Keeffe typed letters signed one unsigned O’Keeffe typed letter and one Andrew Crispo typed letter signed with a duplicate retained copy a retained copy of a Crispo letter Dec. 5 two torn checks signed by Crispo and two transmittal envelopes from O’Keeffe.
