Pioneering Russian artist (1866–1944) who takes a place among the seminal figures in the development of abstract art. In addition to his influence as a painter, he was also one of the original instructors at the Bauhaus. ALS in German, signed “W. Kandinsky,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, August 1, 1927. Letter to Mr. Probst. In part: “The address of the Paris salon is: Granoff Gallery, Blvd. Haussmann. This gallery is run by a Russian lady who shows primarily Russian collections. Of course, the issue of the transportation costs is not a simple one in the case of my collection. Would you please be so kind to make inquiries there. In Paris, the press is extremely important; the gallery shall supply them with ample material. The second address is: Prof. Anton Matejcek Praha II, Havlicek Square. One could only ask him which opportunities he sees for exhibiting in Prague. As he is director of a museum, it might be possible to exhibit in the museum. But I do not know whether there are rooms available there. Part of my collection is still in the Hague, as Gottschalk hadn’t yet finished negotiations with Antwerp and another place. He wrote me that the Van Gogh collector in the Hague, Ms. Kröller [?], was interested in my exhibition but then had to leave town for a short period. This for your information.” In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds and writing lightly showing through on opposing sides.
At the time of this writing, Kandinsky was an instructor at the Bauhaus, an innovative architecture and art school reflective of his own methods, which evolved during the 1920s from colorful bursts to precise geometrically arrangements. His demand as an artist is clearly evidence in this written example, as exhibitions in Belgium, France, Hungary, and the Netherlands were all competing for examples of his work.
