^Lot 637 Diego Rivera

Highly regarded and influential Mexican artist (1886–1957) who earned international acclaim—and stirred controversy—for his powerful, politically charged murals. Vintage 7.5 x 9.5 photo of Rivera with his arms folded, signed and inscribed in black ink to noted collector Lionel Aucoin, “T Mr. Lionel Aucoin, Diego Rivera 1956.” A light diagonal crease through portion of facial area, and a few other surface marks, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a 1956 TLS from Rivera’s secretary acknowledging the photo, adding “The Maestro signed the blank space of the picture and wrote some words for you.”
