About this Item

A unique item. Offered is an original, typed and signed two-page letter (lacks original envelope) not specifically dated although 1988 from Barbara Karp to artist David Hockney which begins: "Dear Mr. Hockney: This in an inquiry concerning your desire and availability to accept the role of Production and Costume Designer for our film, SPLENDORA, to be produced and released as a major theatrical motion picture, in 1989. I hope you will first read the enclosed script [note - this script is not present with this offered letter]. Please don't pre-empt your decision without doing that. I think you'll probably have a good time reading the material, regardless [what follows is more information on the organizational aspects of the film]. Casting is just beginning. Eric Stolz and Daniel Day Lewis are frontrunners for the role of Timothy." This lengthy letter concludes: "Say yes. It will be grand. The poloroid collages and their successors can be a mere prelude for what lies ahead for Hockney and camera - still or moving. The notion of designing art for living theater - is it not an enticement?" Lacks original envelope and attached script; a few light spots to front page; a small round glass bottle light stain to second page.
