SOLD 1. Important Letter from Picasso in Support of Spanish Refugees, dated 1951
Typewritten in English on Picasso's personal notepaper and addressed to an anonymous American supporter of the Spanish Refugee Appeal. Signed with Picasso's studio stamp in blue ink. The dating of the letter is important because it coincides with the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Spanish Republic and with the fourteenth anniversary of the first news reports of the bombing of Guernica in 1937. Apart from its rich political content, the letter is of further interest as it was mailed covertly to protect its recipient from the FBI, who since 1945 had been investigating Picasso's activities due to his outspoken support of Communism.
