Well-regarded American artist (1925–1996) best known for his highly precise, lifelike sculptures of ‘ordinary’ folk doing ordinary things. ALS, one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, May 12, 1975. Letter to Siegfried Salzmann. In part: “I’m sorry for the delay in writing to you…I’m waiting to hear who will pay for the trips to Europe. Of course, I would like to put the War piece together & make any necessary repairs as promised but must wait until all the pieces have been returned & who will take care of insurance costs. In the meantime I will check with my dealer to straighten this matter out. Thank you for allowing us to borrow the work. After my last show–most of the new pieces were sold to museums such as Utrecht, Köln, Caracas, Australia, Rotterdam & many will go to museum in U.S. so you will only be one of many. My health has been poor this past winter. I had a second attack of cancer & had to take chemo-therapy treatments which were dreadful aber alles geht mir besser jetzt. Gott sei Dank. So I must also check with the Dr. every few days to keep going.” Hanson writes in his brief postscript: “Let me know if there are any more damages to the War piece.” In fine condition, with expected horizontal mailing folds, with an extra vertical fold to right side. Hanson is scarce in letters, particularly mentioning his works.
