Provenance: Acquired from the original recipient

Unique original hand signed, dated and addressed drawing in red marker on a handmade card. The drawing is boldly signed in black marker by Carl Andre, who addressed the card to a fellow artist, accompanied by his return address and the date the work was created (25 May, 1984). Carl Andre sent this card to Lynn Charles Foster, a Vermont landscape artist and songwriter who formerly resided in Oregon. Carl Andre at the time stated that the verso of the card depicts an original child's drawing that he found and incorporated into his own work - so its essentially a two sided piece. The card also has a postmarked 13 cent stamp, along with a postmark from New York dated 25 May 1984. The piece had been removed from the original frame, but had been mounted to a 8 by 10 white card, and there are two thin pieces of white mounting tape on the verso. A rare Carl Andre drawing that he created in the mid 1980s for a fellow artist and admirer.
As an historical note -- what's also cool and intriguing is that decades before Twitter, hashtag, Instagram, etc. and long before he himself was using the Internet, the artist always signed his name with his copyright "@Carl Andre....
