Niki de SAINT-PHALLE (1930-2002). L.A.S. on an original print, [Soisy sur École] November 30, 1992, to Giselle Breteau; 2 fol. pages in pencil in the margins and verso of a black print proof on strong wove paper, 13 x 19.7 cm on sheet 28.5 x 32 cm, envelope (framed). Rare etching and aquatint artist's proof, numbered "07/10 E.A" and signed: Serpent et Nana. Around the etching, the artist has written: "Dear Giselle B. [the large G is ornamented like an initials], Phillis informed me that you wanted to organize a small festival concerning Jean [Tinguely] and me. As far as I'm concerned, it won't be possible for me": Peter Schamoni, author of a fine film about Max Ernst, is "making a film about me and my collaborations with Jean, using all the old and new documents", documents they don't wish to reveal to the public until the film's release in a year's time. On the other hand, she has no objection to a festival on Tinguely's work, but demands that "everything concerning our collaborations, our interview together and his participation in my films (Un rêve plus long que la nuit) be removed. On the other hand, I don't want Jean's funeral to be shown at all, a film that is still being edited"...
