PRICE, Vincent
Autograph Letter Signed and Autograph Postcard Signed
1985. July and August, 1985. Each written to the editor of Art & Antiques and each discussing the possibility of his writing a piece on collecting Indian art, as well as another idea for an essay "on the good old days of collecting that might be fun, with suggestions on how to collect today." Price's screen credits number near, if not over, one hundred films and include House of Usher, Diary of a Madman, The Ten Commandments, The Fly, and Edward Scissorhands. His legacy as an art collector includes the establishment of the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College, which contains more than 9000 pieces, several thousand from Price's own collection. Less well known, or well remembered, is that the Sears Roebuck catalog featured a Vincent Price Collection of fine art through much of the 1960s. Over 150 words between the two pieces; the letter is folded for mailing, with envelope included; both pieces fine.
