22098Near Fine. THE ZERO MOSTEL CONDOLENCE ARCHIVE<br /> SEPTEMBER 1977-APRIL 1978<br /> The Death of Tevye: The Private Condolence and Legal Archive of Horizon Press Publisher Ben Raeburn<br /> <br /> A profoundly intimate self-contained manuscript and ephemera archive documenting the immediate shock private grief and permanent institutional legacy following the sudden death of theatrical legend Zero Mostel on September 8 1977. <br /> <br /> Comprising 10 pieces of correspondence/legal papers plus a memorial program preserved in the private files of Mostel's closest friend and publisher Ben Raeburn of Horizon Press the collection bridges the gap between the post-war New York artistic avant-garde and the formal establishment of Mostel's public memory. <br /> <br /> The archive features deeply personal correspondence from photography titan Aaron Siskind poets and publishers Coburn Britton and Stanley Moss philosopher James K. Feibleman intellectual critic Manny Geltman author Morris Lurie and music editor Rose N. Rubin. Crucially the collection includes the private legal files of Mostel's personal attorney Harold Cande mapping out the behind-the-scenes funding and design of the permanent Zero Mostel Study Carrels at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law Library. <br /> <br /> The archive culminates in the rare unmailed official program for the first-anniversary retrospective at Lincoln Center featuring cover art by Al Hirschfeld. An irreplaceable primary research assemblage documenting the final earthly footprint of a mid-century cultural icon. <br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> The Siskin Postcard: Original postcard sent from Paris by legendary photographer Aaron Siskind signed 'Aan' dated September 11 1977 balancing professional obligations with heavy personal grief.<br /> The Literary Circle: Highly expressive urgent condolence letters from major independent publishing and literary figures including Coburn Britton on 'PROSE' letterhead philosopher James K. Feibleman poet Stanley Moss Australian author Morris Lurie and 'Dissent' editor Manny Geltman.<br /> The Peer Connection: A rare emotionally raw handwritten note from prominent music editor and folk song authority Rose N. Rubin speaking directly to the internal family dynamic of the estate.<br /> The Legal Papers: Three detailed legal documents from Brooklyn Counselor Harold Cande and Yeshiva University outlining a $10000 memorial library tribute funded in Mostel's honor.<br /> The Culmination: The official four-page Lincoln Center exhibition invitation from September 1978 complete with Al Hirschfeld's definitive caricature of Mostel as Tevye.<br /> Specs: 11 distinct archival items including 1 postcard 6 letters handwritten and typed 1 legal carbon copy and 1 exhibition program. Sizes vary from standard postcard dimensions to 8.5 x 11 inches.<br /> Provenance: Retained intact within the private estate files of Horizon Press founder Ben Raeburn and Pat Pearcy.<br /> <br /> CONDITION <br /> Memorial Announcement: The card block is crisp structurally sound and entirely free of postal cancellations or addresses. Shows light uniform hand-soiling throughout the pale-green cardstock. While typically a detraction within the context of this specific provenance this gentle patination strongly suggests intimate repeated handling by Raeburn in the years following his friend's passing-a moving physical testament to a lifelong association.<br /> Letters and Notes: Some were folded for mailing. All remain in fine to near fine condition. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> While the public record documents Zero Mostel as a towering mercurial force of the American stage this private archive captures the immediate unvarnished shock of his sudden passing within the elite nucleus of the post-war New York avant-garde. Horizon Press under the visionary direction of publisher Ben Raeburn served as a vital sanctuary for mid-century modernism fostering deep cross-disciplinary alliances between theatrical icons abstract photographers independent poets and political critics. <br /> <br /> This collection is far more than a repository of grief; it is a primary document charting how a close-knit artistic community mobilized to transform raw loss into permanent legacy-moving from intimate private condolences to formal legal advocacy and ultimately to public institutional commemoration at Lincoln Center. Preserved intact within Raeburn's estate files it stands as an irreplaceable testament to the profound unspoken bonds that underwrote twentieth-century American cultural history.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Epistolary Value: Offers unedited raw insights into how the post-war Manhattan intellectual crowd experienced a sudden monumental loss.<br /> Provenance Integrity: Represents a cohesive unculled sub-file from an elite independent publisher's estate guaranteeing authentic historical context.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Zero Mostel Ben Raeburn Horizon Press Aaron Siskind Al Hirschfeld Performing Arts History New York Publishing History Mid-Century Intellectuals.<br /> GENRES: Archival Collections Correspondence Ephemera Memorial Programs.<br /> <br /> FULL ANALYTICAL OVERVIEW TRANSCRIPTIONS with IMAGES Available via PDF HERE unknown

196521901New York: Horizon Press 1965. Near Fine/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> <br /> A TOWERING ASSOCIATION COPY OF ZERO MOSTEL'S VISUAL AND VERBAL SELF-PORTRAIT INSCRIBED TO THE MAN WHO PUBLISHED IT. <br /> This copy number 2 of only 250 captures the raw kinetic energy of Mostel through Max Waldman's photography and Mostel's own idiosyncratic drawings. The deeply personal inscription to Ben Raeburn-the 'oldest flame' in Mostel's life-transforms this from a standard limited edition into a primary archival artifact of the Horizon Press legacy.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Visuals: Lavishly illustrated with high-contrast photographs by Max Waldman and original drawings by Zero Mostel. <br /> Binding: Full cloth with gilt-stamped spine; housed in the original coordinate slipcase. <br /> Imprint: Horizon Press New York 1965. <br /> Specs: 11.5 inches tall 4to; unpaginated. <br /> Provenance: From the estate of Horizon Press publisher Ben Raeburn. <br /> <br /> LIMITATION & SIGNATURES<br /> Number 2 of 250 numbered copies signed by Zero Mostel on the limitation page.<br /> Association Inscription: Inscribed in a different ink by Mostel to his publisher: 'To Ben Raeburn / The oldest flame in my life - with / my love and esteem - whatever that / means. - Regards to Pearl & Ricky too. / Zero Mostel'. Note: 'Pearl' refers to Ben's wife Pearl Raeburn and 'Ricky' likely refers to their son.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Near Fine.<br /> The Book: The bindings are tight and square. The internal text is clean and free of markings displaying only light even age-toning. The spine shows light uniform sun-darkening common to this cloth.<br /> The Slipcase: The original slipcase is present and structurally sound showing only minor shelf handling wear.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Artistic Merit: Max Waldman's photography captures Mostel not just as a performer but as a physical sculpture of emotion documenting the 'Theater of the Body' that made Mostel a mid-century icon.<br /> Design: Reflects Ben Raeburn's commitment to 'Total Book Design' prioritizing the tactile relationship between the unvarnished cloth and the heavy art-grade paper stock.<br /> Scholarship: Serves as a primary document of Mostel's polymathic nature proving that his artistic output was as vital as his stage presence in 'Fiddler on the Roof' or 'Ulysses in Nighttown'. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> Zero Mostel was more than a comedic force; he was a blacklisted artist who resurrected his career to become a pillar of the American stage. His relationship with Ben Raeburn and Horizon Press was foundational as Raeburn provided a sophisticated literary platform for Mostel's graphic and prose experiments.<br /> <br /> This volume is a landmark of 1960s independent publishing. Horizon Press under Raeburn was a sanctuary for high-level modernism and this collaboration between Mostel and Waldman represents the press at its most avant-garde.<br /> <br /> ASSOCIATION COPY<br /> This is a definitive Association Copy. As copy #2-likely the first copy Mostel presented to his publisher-it documents the intimate bond between artist and editor. The mention of 'Pearl & Ricky' Raeburn's family in the inscription underscores a decades-long personal friendship that transcended the professional contract.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Zero Mostel Max Waldman Horizon Press Photography Performing Arts Jewish-American Artists Association Copy Signed Limited Edition Art Monograph Horizon Press unknown
