JOHN LENNON
Handwritten Postcards To Emily Wasserman
Choose title
This is a fantastic lot of three postcards which were mailed to Emily Wasserman, presumably in early 1972 (none are postmarked). Wasserman wrote a report on Yoko Ono's "This Is Not Here" art exhibition from October 1971 at the Everson Museum in Syracuse, New York. It was published in Artforum magazine in January 1972. In December 1971, "Yoko Ono - One Woman Show" ran for two weeks at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York City.
The first postcard (5 1/2" x 3 1/2"), which pictures a Native American on the front, was written entirely in John Lennon's hand on the back in thin black marker. The right side is addressed to Wasserman (as "Smily"). The left side reads "Dear Emily, 'Listen to the color of your dream' is a line from my song 'Tomorrow Never Knows' (Beatles Rubber Soul), so tell Stephen Garlein to watch it?!! Thanks for things will keep in touch Love John & Yoko". It is quite funny that John confused Revolver for Rubber Soul.
The second postcard is a 5 3/4" x 3 3/4" promo for Yoko's Fly album. The printed side is addressed to Wasserman in green marker by John Lennon. The blank side has multiple red ink stamps of John & Yoko and Lennon has written "Dear Emily" in thin black marker.
The third postcard is a very rare 5" x 3" one-sided Apple Records promo which has "Thank you for your support. Love & Peace, John & Yoko" printed along with an Apple logo and a Lennon doodle which is either stamped or printed (not handwritten).
Also included is a rare 9 1/2" x 4" envelope from "S.M.I.L.E.S. Sound & Music In The Lower East Side", which was John & Yoko's two-story townhouse on Broome St. in New York City. It is addressed to Emily Wasserman and has "John Lennon cards", both written in an unknown hand.
In addition, there is an original page from the Daily News newspaper from November 22, 1971 of an article entitled "Yoko Ono - The Princess Of Pop!", as well as a clipping of an order form for the catalog of Yoko's 1971 MOMA exhibit.
Each postcard shows some proper toning from age and the first one has a tiny tack hole at top.
Includes Letter of Authenicity from Frank Caiazzo, the world's foremost Beatles signature expert.
A fantastic lot of John Lennon handwritten correspondence.
