WASSILY KANDINSKY (1866–1944)

Autograph of Wassily Kandinsky on a letter, framed together with a portrait — an elegant collectible that combines art with the artist’s personal history.

At the core of the composition is a typed letter in French, dated August 3, 1934, Neuilly-sur-Seine, addressed to Mr. Girigelli.

"Dear Mr. Ghirighelli,

I am writing in great haste — please excuse me!

Have you already sent the gouaches and drawings?

To which address? I still have not received them, and

I must leave in 5 days for 3 weeks at the seaside.

I kindly ask you to give me an answer as soon as possible.

And thank you in advance.

Very sincerely,

Kandinsky"

This document is directly connected to the circulation of works on paper and reflects Kandinsky’s French period — a time when his late artistic explorations were taking shape.

The minimalist framing with a portrait highlights the character of the piece, making it suitable both for a private collection and as a valuable, distinctive gift.
